*saunters in nonchalantly; there is a swagger to his walk that wasn't there before*

*collects bottle of wine from servete spell*

*lounges at a table with his feet propped on another chair*

Angel. Oh, angel. Are you trying to save me?

*laughs long and loud, because demons can't cry*

*looks miserable*

I... I can't help it. I'm sorry.

[identity profile] aj-crawley.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Angel... what are we going to do?

[identity profile] a-fell.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[OOC all comments between these two are now shielded]

What can we do?

*looks despairing*

I want to forget it. I want to go back to where we were.

*smiles wanly*

That's not going to happen, is it?

[identity profile] aj-crawley.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Right now, I really, really fucking wish it could.



Angel, I'm an idiot.


*sits down heavily on floor, buries head in hands*

*shifts his weight uncomfortably, then sits down a little way away from Crowley*

Well I'm not debating that.

*hesitantly reaches out, places his hand on Crowley's shoulder*

*sighs, fists hands in hair*

The Boss - he told me that the, you know, Arrangement, was against the rules. We'd pushed so far already, and, well. I was scared.

[identity profile] a-fell.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Oh.

I...

Oh dear...

*absentmindedly strokes Crowley's shoulder as he thinks, pale fingers sliding against black feathers*

Do you know that he wasn't... well, lying?

*freezes for a moment, before hurriedly scooting away from Aziraphale*

Angel, please.

I... I don't think so, no. I mean, he sounded too angry to be lying. And why would he bother? He doesn't usually mess around like that unless it's of specific benefit to him.

I... freaked out, angel. I mean... four thousand years. What if the next day was one too many?

[identity profile] a-fell.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe he wanted to see you hurting. Maybe he likes that kind of thing.

*exasperastedly* Four thousand years is a comfort! You don't think we couldn't have been dealt with in a second if Himself had wanted? You don't think he didn't know? Especially after the almost-Apocolypse, and everything. Really Crowley, you are infuriating at times.

[identity profile] aj-crawley.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just that... I'm a demon, Aziraphale. Evil. You're - everyone who knows me is - playing with fire. And the flame's been burning brighter and brighter. I just... wanted to singe your fingers, before you got burned alive.

[identity profile] a-fell.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
*shifts a little closer to Crowley*

You've known me long enough to know I can look after myself, Crowley. I don't need you taking care of me, and especially not in such a destructive manner.

*reaches out to run one finger along a black feather*

[identity profile] aj-crawley.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
*shivers, and scoots away again*

Angel. We still don't know where the line is.

[identity profile] a-fell.livejournal.com 2004-07-12 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
We don't know that there is a line. We don't know whether we're thinking about this in entirely the wrong way.

*absentmindedly strokes his fingertips, imaginging the silky feel of feathers, then stops himself, stuffing hands into pockets*

Oh!

*pulls Crowley's sunglasses from one misshapen pocket*

Um... did you want these back?

[From off to one side.] Aziraphale. I'm shielding your words from the rest of the room, all right?

[And, ever so carefully, relaxes when Crowley doesn't explode at Aziraphale's touch.
