Follows this.

They couldn't just teleport themselves there. Any miracles, demonic or otherwise, would attract too much attention. No, Crowley was actually going to have to sit there, plugging their information into an online search engine, and do it all manually. Fluctuating airline prices were demonic work, and right now a trip to Japan was over six thousand pounds more expensive than if he had bought it three days earlier, which was totally outrageous. Crowley didn't know a lot about money except what it made men do to each other, he'd never had to. But now, making money appear out of nothing could turn the wrong eye on them if he wasn't careful.

Luckily, he had quite a few credit cards that never needed paying or had a limit on them. They would work in a pinch for a moment like this. He didn't know if that sort of perk-of-being-a-demon could ever be taken away from him, but he hoped not.

The flight itself was a long one, and Crowley settled himself in for it by making sure they were flying at least first class. That way they could see everyone coming at them and have a few glasses of wine on the journey.

"I don't think they know about these passports," Crowley says. "They might, but I doubt it. I had them made back during the last World War, just kept them in good condition."

The second World War was something that Crowley took responsibility for, but he hated every moment of it, and what his side did to make it worse made him sick. He was more than prepared to hide away if he needed to when things went wrong back then. And, at the time, he had also created a passport for Aziraphale, in case he wanted to come along. No other reason for that, he told himself.

If you asked the angel now, after everything they've been through, he would say that trying to make sense of ineffable things is a fool's game. And he's been that fool for eons.

He smiles fondly. Sweetly. Calmly at him, for how ironic that might be, coming from someone like him. Shyly, over such examples of affection.

He brings his other hand up, freeing it from Crowley's, just so he can touch the other side of his head as well.

"... I think, perhaps, we should revisit the idea of resting." A casual way to say he'd like the demon to get somewhat closer to peace.

Oh, the indescretion in holding his face. But it feels right, like this. Right now.

But he thinks. Not to protest, no, because the demon is concerned too. And if they're anything alike, which they very much are, there needs to be a compromise.

"Well," An attempt. "Perhaps... You could keep me company."
salutosinedelectat: Wings, Crowley, eden (I'll cover you)

Still laughing at this

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-04 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
In a moment of complete fond, earnest concern, Aziraphale is absolutely no prepared to hear that question. In fact, it takes him a moment or two to really process what was just said.

So he pauses, he stares, sputters quietly for just a second and then settles on a soft judgemental look.

But, you know what? It throws a blanket of normalcy onto their evening, with a handful of comfort and otherwise newfound liberties.

" Really, my dear." No real bite to it. "I was merely suggesting we both need a good rest."
salutosinedelectat: Crowley, talking, neutral, serious (The bandstand)

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-04 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
And the angel is going to tut, gently disapproving of such inappropriate accusations. And now Crowley's lost face touching privileges - for now, anyway, as he angel retrieves his glass.

"Why? What exactly are you implying I was suggesting?"

It's worth nothing that any judgemental huffiness from the angel is just embarrassment, with no real sting to it.
salutosinedelectat: Neutral, judging (Bitch 2)

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-05 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Another tut and a scoff, an arm crossed over the one holding the glass. He even turns his back to him, but just to make his way to the couch right nearby and take a seat. A full picture of an offended gentleperson.

“ Really, now.” He takes a sip, which hopefully can further mask away his gentle embarrassment.

Besides, Crowley has nothing to tell him that he doesn’t already know, probably.
salutosinedelectat: Judging, serious, annoyed (Jesus christ)

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-05 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Normalcy, is what it is. Normalcy from even before the Armaggedon. Familiar and comforting in times like this. Even if the angel looks rather grumpy.

He almost sputters, taking a sip along with Crowley's list. "Oh good Lord, my dear, are you really comparing such wildly different--" Until it hits him that that's not the point or the purpose of this whole thing.

He sighs and gives him a halfway moody look, but it doesn't really stick. Not tonight.

"You are impossible."
salutosinedelectat: Annoyed, angry, judging (istg)

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-05 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Despite his protests right now, he'd like that. He'd like it for the future to just be this, just them, just peace, just a continuation of all those times they could halfway forget they were on opposite sides. Except they aren't, anymore, which should make it so much better.

The angel purses his lips, taking a moment before he actually answers. Which, ironically, should be enough of an answer by itself.
salutosinedelectat: Confused, surprised (What.)

Heelies backwards into the pits of hell

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
The angel rolls his eyes, although visibly getting flustered over the gentle digs at his honor. He's always been a creature of comfort and curiosity, so none of it should really be particularly surprising; but, even know, he can't help but to be defensive about such subjects.

" Really, my dear, I don't think any of this is quite-"

But he doesn't quite finish his thought. A sharp pain strikes somewhere within his chest, causing him stop and suck in an uncomfortable breath.

Right. That's right there. And it looks like it's going to be a bit hard to ignore.
salutosinedelectat: Nervous, upset, scared (MISERY)

Just sprinkling a little more anxiety into their lives

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-05 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
With his free hand to his chest, he could easily be mistaken by someone with a particularly nasty case of heartburn.

Except angels don't get heartburn, even if there was a physical heart in there in the first place, and the damage done is well beyond the physical.

He simply sits still for a few seconds, grimacing, not answering, before the pain subsides again and he can finally bring himself to exhale another breath he doesn't actually need.

"Aha, it-" It's got a Hell of a nasty sting to it, that's what it does, whatever it is. The angel sounds slightly out of breath. "It's alright, my dear."

Aziraphale looks up at the demon, and he sees it again: he sees the genuine concern, the gentleness in his features, the softness in his voice. He sees the fear, the worry, the weariness on his face, and it serves as a reminder of their current situation. Not that they can afford to totally ignore it, for their own sake.

But it's all of Crowley's efforts. It's all of his patience, his care, all of the gentler sides of the demon that Aziraphale has the privilege to see. That's what he really notices.

So, he smiles. Rests his hand on top of Crowley's, a repeated gesture this evening, holding it there.

"I'll be fine, my dear." He thinks. He hopes. He has yet to properly examine the issue and the actual damage. "Just some good rest, and I'll be back in tip top shape in no time at all."

Pardon him his indiscretions with so much hand touching. It feels right, is all.
salutosinedelectat: Smiling, sad, upset (Dine at the Ritz.)

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-06 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He knows he will. The angel knows he’d do anything in his reach to help him. Whether it’d be over genuine care in itself, or through some sort of misplaced guilt. The angel knows, and the appreciates it a lot more than he could even begin to let on.

“ I’ll be alright, my dear.” Still keeping his hand over Crowley’s. Mutual comfort, with new gentle gestures and contact that they never had, or were allowed, before. He’s feeling the sharpness of the pain fade for something a lot more dull. Manageable.

It didn’t end him yet. And he thinks (hopes) that means it can’t. Whatever Hastur had been doing to the angel, it was interrupted just in time.

He can’t ask him not to worry. But he hopes his smile is clear enough, his appreciation. He could slip back into that place, before, not even an hour ago, when they kissed again.

“We will be fine.”



salutosinedelectat: Nervous, surprised, smitten (I won't say I'm in-)

[personal profile] salutosinedelectat 2019-09-06 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
The honesty of the sentiment catches him unprepared. It shows, too, by the way he stops smiling and looks almost startled.

The words they didn't say before. Well-- some of them. The ones going through their heads - at least, certainly through Aziraphale's - when the unholy flames were starting to consume the bar.

They don't have anyone else. They've never had anyone else, not in the way they have each other. There could never be anyone else.


He reaches a hand up, touches Crowley's cheek as gently as before.
