love, for crowley, isn’t nearly as complicated as he’d have you expect. in fact, he’d sooner lead you to believe that he is, and that all demons are, incapable of love. of course, one look past the veneer of swagger crowley puts on, and it’s extraordinarily obvious this isn’t true.
crowley loves, and crowley loves hard. when he loves something or someone, he puts his entire being into that love – but as he doesn’t like being vulnerable ( and what’s more vulnerable than loving ? hell is not kind to the vulnerable ), he doesn’t allow himself closeness to many people or things. in fact, you could say the only things he’s let himself love are the bentley and aziraphale.
in the bentley’s case, it’s a little weird, isn’t it, that crowley, who cycles through other fashions and trends with every decade, keeps this terribly old car around ? of course he’s formed an emotional attachment to it, no matter that the sentience it’s gained from being in close proximity to demonic magic for so long has semi-recently given it a particular obsession with queen. he’s not sure, honestly, what it is about the bentley that he loves so much, but it’s an extension of himself as much as the bookshop is an extension of aziraphale.
now, if crowley were to say “ i love the earth ” ( perhaps in response to a question like “ why did you help stop the apocalypse ? ” ), that would be an incomplete statement. the full version would be “ i love the earth, because that’s where aziraphale is. ” he is fond of earthly things, yes, like food and alcohol and non-heavenly music and the creative chaos humans can spread, but ultimately, as he proves in asking aziraphale to run away with him, it’s the angel’s company that matters most. to crowley, a world without his best friend wasn’t worth saving, and nothing proves how much he loves quite like that, i think.
