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.

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.

He knows he will. The angel knows heโ€™d do anything in his reach to help him. Whether itโ€™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.

โ€œ Iโ€™ll be alright, my dear.โ€ Still keeping his hand over Crowleyโ€™s. Mutual comfort, with new gentle gestures and contact that they never had, or were allowed, before. Heโ€™s feeling the sharpness of the pain fade for something a lot more dull. Manageable.

It didnโ€™t end him yet. And he thinks (hopes) that means it canโ€™t. Whatever Hastur had been doing to the angel, it was interrupted just in time.

He canโ€™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.

โ€œWe will be fine.โ€

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.

And in the quietness of that moment, true, actual quiet, as opposed to the noisy dark bar, there's no distractions. There's no airs to keep. No need to keep their heads on a swivel. No music. Just the two of them, just the concern, the fear, the love and the devotion. And, as always, the words unspoken.

"...I know." Said so quietly, earnestly - recognition, the acknowledgement of Crowley's attention, his affection. At least one time where the world isn't about to end around them, to show that he means it. That he knows.

And he learns forward, hesitating for just a moment before their lips touch. A look, his thumb stroking the demon's cheek.

May I, my dear? This is all still very new.

And it's Aziraphale's heart's turn to skip, as he closes his eyes, as he forgets everything that's out there, bring existance down to this single room, this moment, the two of them.

It might not be the first kiss. It will certainly not be the last, if he has anything to say about it. But something about it feels truly special. Truly definitive. The words in it, them sitting down, the angel's metaphorical foot forward. The recognition and the promise with it.

He doesn't count the time. He refuses to. He just wants to stay - in the right here, in the right now. In the making up for all that dreadful business. The last few hours. The last few months. The centuries of admiration. The not going fast enough.

He welcomes the demon back into the love in his heart, in his soul. It's there for him, if he wants it. Love, and gratitude, and admiration. Promises. It's all there.

Well, nature of the beast indeed. A kind beast. A good one. The best of them all, and Aziraphale learned that a long time ago, against all odds. Against all warnings. And, for all his flaws and missteps, he's still so glad he at least saw that. He wouldn't have survived otherwise.

There's a quiet faint sound in the kiss, but not a protest. He doesn't object to being pulled in, it is just, as stated, new. A little bit overwhelming. He brings a hand up to Crowley's arm, then up to his shoulder, while the other stays on his cheek. Soft, gentle hands, polite, but not hesitant.

All of existance is so vast. A concept not meant to be grasped, but a concept he's familiar with all the same. But, right now, it seems laser focused on this moment, and he's never felt so safe.

It makes laugh. Not physically, mind you, but in some part of him. Maybe it's the moment, tainting all of his thoughts with comfort, with joy, with love and affection and all the feelings that make him feel energize, make him feel right. But it may also be the harmlessness in most of Crowley's sins. The lack of maliciousness. Oh, it makes the angel feel so silly for all the times he was ready to accuse Crowley of some or the biggest crimes by humanity, or even others. The angel is not a fan of discord, no, and he would very much rather everyone be happy, and comfortable, and safe, free from harm, but it's not their frustration or annoyance or embarrassment that bring him joy.

It's Crowley. It's who he is. For all his contradictions and for all his lack of malicious intent. For all his smartness and his cunning. For all his kindness and devotion. For his company. For all the lunches and all the late night drinking.

The angel leans forward slightly, reaches his arms up to wrap them around his neck and hold them there. An awkward angle, an indiscretion, but just this once, it should be fine.

And the greatest miracle Aziraphale could have ever done was made a demon love.

But he hadn't. It was never his doing. No- the demon carried the capability of love with him. He carried with him a questioning, restless mind, and he asked questions, and he did all the things angels and demons said he shouldn't even be able to do.

And he cared. And he loved. And he understood the angel, even when the angel couldn't understand himself.

And he accepted him for how he is, when no one else, not even the angel, did.

He's so close. Too close? But they'd danced. They'd kissed. It's hard not to question thing, the wrong questions haven't suddenly vanished from his mind. But they sound a lot quieter. For that, he's thankful.

salutosinedelectat: (Default)
From: [personal profile] salutosinedelectat
The angel makes a quiet sound into the kiss again. His steps towards this maybe be gradual and slow, and he hopes he can still count on that patience as he goes through them. Although just that question, that wondering, is entirely unnecessary, because he trusts the demon entirely.

He brings a hand back to the back of Crowley's neck, a gentle touch, holding. He can feel his heart - or whatever it is - racing in his chest. He parts his lips slightly, something a bit too fast, but he'll say something if he feels the need to stop or slow down.

It's very difficult to not fall into it. The more the world seems to spin around them and try to toss them off, the stronger they hold onto it and each other. It's a simple enough exchange, and this is a culmination of too much, for too long.

And he does love the world, you know. He loves existance, he loves the world in all its complicated details, in its contained chaos. Of course, he doesn't love their current situation, with all the running away and nearly being destroyed and getting hunted again and again and again, but... Right now, right this minute? That's rather pleasant. Good, even.

Whatever sound he made before, he makes a similar, quiet one now, all the more embarassed by it. It's unbecoming, he feels, unable to quite tell what part of that thought is him and which part is all the constructed conventions of how he should behave, what he should or shouldn't do.

He's not exactly craving for anything more. The closeness, the intimacy, the love is all he wants. The freedom to make a choice, and the chance to delve on these feelings, unafraid, and not alone. To not fear that that's what's going to end them both.

And it won't. Other things definitely might. A lot of things, actually, that aren't as far away as he'd hoped, probably. But it certainly won't be the fact that they're finally talking-- well, not talking, but beginning to face this.

Shouldn't have waited. Shouldn't have walked away. Should have been braver, clearer, oh, I do love you so.

The angel moves along with the step, another quiet, muffled sound - but an interruption this time, soft and polite, as he pulls his arms back and his hands onto Crowley's shoulders, and pulls back away from the kiss. Absolutely in no rush, however.

He looks up at the demon, finding himself slightly short of breath, somehow, lingering in his gaze. Thoughtful, distracted, facing himself and these feelings between them more and more.

He brings a hand over his own mouth, not in regret but in some level of...coyness? Thought again. Idly brushing his fingers over his lips while his eyes lowered more toward Crowley's colar.

Ah, this is a lot. This is sudden-- although not really.

But, rest, yes. They should do that. I need to check what's wrong with his physical vessel. And they could use the quiet. For as much as their physical bodies don't really tire, their minds could use the breather.

It catches him by surprise, certaintly. The lean, the kiss. His hand goes back onto Crowley's shoulder, but he doesn't push him away, simply seems to stop breathing in those seconds.

He doesn't know what he wants, or what to expect. But he appreciates the fact that Crowley's plan to hide in here seems to have worked. He can't begin to imagine how terrible it would be if they were interrupted.

As sudden as Crowley's voice is in the factual silence that has been surrounding them for this while, Aziraphale welcomes it, a little bit grounding, enough to keep him there, to focus somewhat. Which is an entirely difficult maneuver.

"Yes..." a whisper, a mutter under his breath as Crowley leans again. The angel shudders faintly, closing his eyes again, gently gripping his shoulders just a little bit tighter.

Aziraphale moves too slow. The world goes by too fast. Which should be nothing to someone immortal. But it's not time, it's not the minutes ticking away, it's the connections one makes. One day you can find yourself still in place as someone else you love moves right on along and you can't keep up. Tonight is a good example of this; so much has happened. A blink of an eye and they're miles away from where they were. They've taken a leap, but together, this time, and he wants to see where they land.

A hand slides over to the back of Crowley's neck again, soft fingers caressing the skin. Resting is still in the plan, but he's fine exploring other suggestions at this moment.
