Summary
The humans were curious about him, Crowley knew that. Who wouldn’t be? Man-shaped thing shows up on your local pub's doorstep, mute, scowling, and desperate, takes up residence in its worst room for months, drinks about four bottles of whiskey a day, doesn’t eat a damned thing, and yet refuses to die - you’d be curious too, wouldn’t you?
Sometimes he’d overhear them whispering about him, staff and customers alike.
“Is that another bottle?” One lady would mutter disapprovingly.
“Heartbreaking to see someone waste away their life like that,” sighed a woman to her partner.
“Why’s he wearing sunglasses inside?” A kid asked his dad, tugging on the man’s sleeve.
“Do you mind if I take this seat?” Asked a man at Crowley’s elbow.
He turned to look at the newcomer. He was smiling widely, his eyes crinkling at the corners. The man’s nose was slightly upturned and his hair a crown of ruffled white curls.

OR: After resorting to extreme measures to avert the apocalypse, a very miserable Crowley retreats to somewhere close to his heart and drowns his sorrows for months until his wallowing is interrupted by a mysterious stranger who knows more than he ought to and simply won't shut up.
