"Aziraphale... my angel will you- NO" crowley was praticing his lines to finally confess his 6000 years of crushing on aziraphale but hes having some girl problems here
Hes been saying such corny lines to his poor mirror its like watching a lovesick teenage girl
Oh well it cant be that bad
"Hey, did it hurt when u fell"
"NO WHY WOULD I SAY THAT I DONT WANT HIM TO FALL"
"Think crowley think ngkhh"
Nevermind it is bad
"Oh im hopeless what would aziraphale think seeing me like this, im suppose to be cool not pathetic"
The door bell rang on his flat door wonder who would that be.
"Why are you here???"
"Had a hunch you were having angel problems"
It was nina, the lady from the coffee shop across his angel shop and she brought some treats
"Are you gonna help, if you are then welcome in maam"
"Youre way older then me dont call me that"
"So what seems to be the problem"
"I dont know what to say"
"I thought you were good with your words, alway saw you saying clever things"
"Yeah but its just him ok, he makes me all mushy and whimsy its stupid"
"Definitely"
"Oh shut up"
"Maybe just try and tell them straightforward, youve seen him, hes very dense"
"Yeah but i cant just go up to him and just, hey aziraphale ive been crushing on you since the day we met at the gate so now im asking you to please just love me, now can i"
"I mean you can"
Crowley cried out hopelessly knowing that nina cant even help him with his problem maybe he should just give up and crawl and die somewhere already
"Maybe you could set a date? Maybe ask him out somewhere and tell your feelings there or sing him a song or something"
"I cant thats stup- wait, maybe youre right"
Well thats a start
"Ok how about this ill ask him out to dinner like usually but this time"
"Thats literally what i just said"
"Anyways"
Crowley and nina then planned their most angel catching proof date ever, so atleast they think it was
...
"Hey aziraphale how you been"
"Im good, crowley is there something you need"
"Just wondering if you would like to go to dinner sometimes"
"But we always go to dinner together"
Oh wow give it to crowley to mess up the first minute
"Yeah but its just been long since we went you know? how about that new restaurant downtown"
Long? Since they went to dinner? Aziraphale thought since they had just went to dinner yesterday is something wrong with crowley?
"Sure crowley ill see you there"
"Well that went well"
"You think?Long since we went?? What am i stupid we went yesterday and the day before"
"Hm"
Crowley was in a haste trying to look good this evening really this was going to be the night hes been waiting millenias for he cant screw up now, this was his and his angels night he gotta look the part
While crowley was currently questioning his life choices aziraphale just thought it was another one of their *platonic* dates he didnt really get ready he just look neat usually
Arriving at the venue crowleys palm was sweating,his heart was pounding, his legs wobbling, he was a mess i mean it is the night he'll confess to the love of his life of course hes more nervous then that purple prick inside his mind
As on cue aziraphale arrived at the worst moment possible at this point crowley might as well breakdance right there considering how shaky he was
"Shall we go inside?"
"..yes!! Yes we shall uh ngk after you a-angel"
Yeah something is definitely wrong here
After being seated and aziraphale ordered his food crowley was mentally preparing himself for the probably worst and best moment ever, counting all the minutes and seconds to fidgeting with the utensils to straight up staring at aziraphale wondering how would he respond
Moments gone by well not really but to crowley it was like hours tortuous painful hours ticking on to the moment he'll be confessing
"Right this is the right moment" crowley thought to himself finally gonna open his heart out to aziraphale
"Hey aziraphale"
"Yes?"
And just as he was about to confess his dying love to him the waiter came out with their food its like theyre trying to fuck this up
Oh well whats another date just staring at aziraphale lovingly he'll just confess later (he's been telling himself that for centuries)
After they finished (and payed) crowley offered to take aziraphale back to his bookshop and maybe have a glass of wine in return maybe a good 1975
While in the car aziraphale did notice the scowl on crowleys face
"Crowley are you alright dearest" he asked worried
"Yep im all good"
"Well i noticed you have been acting weird all evening"
"Its nothing really"
Yeah right its definitely nothing to be interrupted while youre tryna tell your long time best friend about the fat crush you have on them yeah its totally just nothing
Finally being back at the bookshop crowley was searching for a good wine in aziraphales wine collection a few bottles of this and that and grabbed 2 glasses for both of them
"Here you are angel"
"Thank you really"
"Hmh"
Crowley sat across aziraphale watching as aziraphale poured them both a good amount of wine
One pour after another enough for the both of them to be drunk out of their mind just speaking in some unknown language about the goverment putting some sort of drug in apples for the doctor to be getting more patients or how furbies are gonna rule the world in the year 2050 because they have been placing small cameras in them to spy on the humans and also how crowley is deeply inlove with him wait what
"Yu kno azirapel ive beeqn crushing on you for yearrrrrrssssdr and like i uh i i was actually tryna conefess con fes compes confess! Yeah confees to yu tonight"
"What"
Aziraphale was drunk yes but not drunk enough to not hear that
"Nyeah i just got ineruptex and was also nervus"
"Crowley dear i think you should sober up"
After sobering up aziraphale had the balls to start the conversation
"Do you actually like me"
"For years i have, angel"
The atmosphere was almost as thick as my butt after aziraphale had learn the demon across whom he consider as a friend likes him, romantically While crowley was avoiding eye contact
"Look if you dont like me that way its fine i jus-"
Before crowley can finish his sentence Aziraphale cut him off pressing his lips onto crowleys
"I-i love you too dear"
Crowley was as red as his hair at this point
"I-i uh i ngk mhm" he was trying to find his words while also wanting to return the kiss
"I-i can i kiss you back"
"Oh crowley you dont need to ask"
And then boom vavoomed guess this night wasnt ruined, infact it was a night to remember
