Aziracrow but they’re rival kings …. au
Crowley prays every night to Aziraphale, and every night, in his dreams, Aziraphale meets him
6000 years of kisses to catch up on
Oughhh i wanna share my silly everywhere
angels can’t be tempted
it is only fair to draw her when i’m bored in class
I hope Crowley discovers in S3 that Aziraphale has a book of drawings of him, each and every look.
Unlesssssss he found out a long time ago and hence he decided to keep on changing his looks to give Aziraphale new material to draw
Crowley lounged in Aziraphale’s armchair, one leg kicked over the side, stretched his head back to look at his angel sideways, smirked a bit, and said “What, you don’t like this one?”
Aziraphale had been staring at him, contemplatively, and the question seemed to jolt him from his thoughts. “Don’t like… I’m sorry, my dear, which one? One what?”
Crowley watched him, enjoying catching the angel out at things, enjoying springing the trap. “My new look. You don’t like it?”
And ah, there it was, the little look of panic Aziraphale couldn’t hide. The angel was picking up deception from the humans, slowly, but he had a long way to go. “Like it? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” His voice rose in pitch. “Why would you think I don’t?”
“Well.” He turned himself around to face Aziraphale properly… but made sure to still be rather impressively posed. “This is the second time you’ve gotten me drunk enough you think I won’t notice you drawing me, and you still haven’t drawn me.”
Aziraphale’s only response was a few flustered syllables of embarrassment.
Crowley watched him squirm, something old and gentle and playful feeling warm in his chest. “What’s wrong? I sat in your armchair both times. You like drawing me in your armchair.” And before his bookshop, it had been a settee. And before he’d gotten Crowley comfortable coming into his home, it had been a park bench, and before park benches had existed… Well, in any case, he’d liked drawing Crowley in his armchair ever since he’d gotten it for his then-new bookshop. It was 1982, now, over a century later, and Aziraphale had drawn Crowley sprawled over his armchair in every style he’d passed through.
“I… I have no idea what you’re…”
Crowley stared at him, always fascinated by watching his angel try to lie. He raised one eyebrow, encouraging, waiting.
Aziraphale wilted. “Oh, alright. I didn’t think you knew! You’re… You’re just interesting to draw. Your outfits are… Well, your hair…”
“My hair?” Crowley prompted, pleased. He gave his hair a little shake, glad long hair on men was currently acceptable.
“Oh, you know what your hair looks like!”
He did, but he had to admit - only to himself - that he hadn’t been sure Aziraphale had noticed. “Well? What’s the hold up? I drank, I posed. I’m ready for my portrait.”
Aziraphale squirmed.
Hmm. “Hell’s sake.” Crowley murmured, softly, starting to feel embarrassed himself. “Is it that bad? Should I change it?”
“No! No, it’s…” Aziraphale sighed. “I wanted to draw you looking at me, for once. I always draw you looking off somewhere, or with your eyes closed. But I wanted to draw you looking at me.”
Crowley straighten up, abruptly interested. “Yeah? I can do that. How do you want me?” He’d seen humans posing for each other, in art schools, and suddenly the idea seemed intoxicating. Somehow intimate. To be allowed to look at Aziraphale, to watch him draw, to know Aziraphale was looking at him, studying his expression, in every minute detail.
Expression was, at times, the most honest communication they dared.
“Just there. Just… don’t pose. Just… look like yourself.”
Aziraphale disappeared into the next room, presumably getting his supplies, and Crowley attempted the suddenly challenging task of looking like himself. Yes, just how exactly would he sit, to watch Aziraphale draw? How exactly did he sit in chairs? If he were, for instance, himself, how would he appear?
He leaned back in the chair, crossed his legs at the knees, and put his arms on the armrests. No, too prince-of-Hell. He threw one leg over the armrest, but now he was tilting away from Aziraphale’s own seat. He jumped up, turned the chair, and tried again, but now it felt ridiculous, too obviously seductive, too- He moved the chair again, heard Aziraphale’s steps coming back, then flung himself back in the chair and just tried to look like he’d been casually taking his ease there the whole time.
“Do you want me to move or something? I don’t mind.” he drawled, in his most casual, bored drawl.
Aziraphale smiled, sitting down with his drawing pad, and pencils. He spent a few moments fussing about, getting settled, and when he looked up, Crowley realized he was staring.
“Yes.” Aziraphale said swiftly, firmly, before Crowley’s millennia of habit could kick in, before he could catch himself and looked away. “Just like that. Like how you look at me when you think I don’t notice.”
“I don’t… What?”
But the protest was weak, and Aziraphale didn’t even acknowledge it.
Quiet fell. There was just the scratching of pencil on paper. Just Aziraphale’s eyes, flicking up to study him, then back down to his paper, then, again, up to Crowley’s own. Just that beautiful look of concentration, relaxation, the look of creation, on an angel who had learned human ways to do it.
Just Aziraphale’s eyes, so warm and intent, focused on Crowley alone. Crowley wasn’t sure he took a breath the whole time.
Then it was over. It hadn’t taken long at all. “Done.” Aziraphale said.
Crowley leaned forward, eagerly. “Can I see?”
Aziraphale actually blushed. “I suppose it’s only fair. Do you want to see the others?”
“You have them?” Crowley actually felt his heart speed up, at the information. Somehow he’d always imagined the drawings filling an unused page somewhere, just a bit of scrap paper, then absently thrown out in Aziraphale’s next cleaning. “Yes!”
Aziraphale got up, probably intending to get the drawings and bring them back, but Crowley followed on his heel. And when Aziraphale knelt to pull a folder out of a bottom shelf, Crowley knelt with him, perfectly happy to look at the drawings right there.
Aziraphale sighed, an exasperated little breath that held a whole conversation of commentary on his impatience, and then indulgently handed Crowley the folder.
Crowley opened it, and the pages spilled, loose, across his lap, and Crowley shuffled delicately through them. He knew well how to be careful with old paper, but these seemed suspiciously, one might say miraculously, well-preserved. And the drawings showed…
Crowley hadn’t expected soft. He hadn’t expected this. He’d wanted to know, wanted to see what his angel saw when he looked at him; he’d been expecting pretty, maybe dangerous, and hoping for hot. He hadn’t expected… gentle. Or relaxed. Or happy. There were the drawings he’d known about, but there were others. Crowley in Aziraphale’s shop, smiling at an old woman as he helped her carry her books. Crowley in ancient robes, smiling out at a sunset. Crowley sprawled on his settee, asleep, looking vulnerable and yet safe.
And one, at the very bottom of the pile. It must have been drawn ages after the fact, because humans hadn’t yet invented paper back then. Crowley was smiling at Aziraphale, looking right at him, long curls loose down his back, snake eyes bright. It must have been drawn from memory, but Crowley remembered looking at Aziraphale exactly like that, while the angel’s wing had shielded him from the rain.
In every picture, every single one, no matter what time period it was from, Crowley looked happy. And in every stroke of pencil, every glide across the page, there was love. Love.
He looked at the newest one. His smile was softer. Unhurried. But his eyes were just the same as in the first one. Fixed on Aziraphale, as if there could be nothing better to look at in all of creation.
Oh.
He scrambled through the pages, forgetting to be as gentle as he could, needing to search for some, any, other interpretation.
“Oh, angel…” He looked at him, and Aziraphale’s eyes were gentle, shy, but not denying what Crowley saw. Crowley wanted to kiss him. He wanted to put a hand on the back of the angel’s neck, and pull him close, and kiss him until all the lies they had to hide behind fell away, until they were one being, and Heaven and Hell could never part them again, until…
Because his angel loved him. That was what these drawings said. His angel loved him, and had all along. And yet.
“Angel,” His voice came out rough, his throat strangely tight. “Are you sure I go too fast?”
He could hear Aziraphale’s breath catch, they were so close. Aziraphale nodded, the movement tiny but urgent, and he looked away.
Crowley lowered his eyes as well, heart hurting.
Then, so quickly it was over before he knew what was happening, angelic fingers were on his chin, lifting him up, and for the briefest moment, soft lips were at just the corner of his mouth.
Then Aziraphale was up, hurrying away, probably off to make tea and any other distraction he could think of.
Crowley watched him go, and his fingers rose to the ghost of Aziraphale’s lips on his. A smile spread across his face.
He could go slow.
