Fictober19 Day 8: The Unbearable Lightness of Gnocchi

Prompt #8: Can you stay?

Fandom: Good Omens (GO)

Characters: Aziraphale, Crowley, Shadwell

Rating: General (implied cruelty to pasta ingredients)

Warnings: None

It was his own fault, Aziraphale reflected. If he hadn’t lamented, in a somewhat wine-sozzled moment, that he knew nothing of cooking and had always wanted to learn, stopped only by fear of what Heaven would say when they learned he not only ate but prepared food from scratch, then Crowley wouldn’t have done this. He wouldn’t have signed up his angel for a cookery workshop from a swanky culinary school on Wendell Road. Aziraphale wouldn’t have had to show up, and if he hadn’t shown up, he wouldn’t be trapped in a class with, of all people, Shadwell.

“Sergeant Shadwell! Fancy meeting you here,” Crowley said, a faint note of glee creeping in to his voice.

“Retired sergeant. Just Shadwell ‘ll do.” Shadwell crammed his fists into the pockets of his old mac, which was in as regrettable a state as Aziraphae remembered. “It’s been a while.”

“I never knew you were one for the culinary arts.”

Shadwell harrumphed. “Well, it’s jus’ a hobby, to keep meself occupied now I’m retired. And Tracy, er, appreciates it when I do a bit o’ cookin’, ye ken. Thought I might as well learn to make some o’ them fancy scran, keep her happy.”

“That’s,” Aziraphale blinked, taken aback, “that’s actually rather sweet, Mr. Shadwell. I hope Madame Tracy is well?”

They spent a minute catching up before running out of things to say to each other, and after a few more awkward minutes, Shadwell eventually grumped off to investigate the rest of the classroom. Aziraphale slumped with relief.

“Did you know he would be here?” he hissed, grabbing Crowley’s elbow.

“What? No, angel — I had no idea. Should be interesting, though.” He grinned broadly.

“Interesting does not begin to cover it, my dear. What if we’re assigned to work together as partners? We have absolutely nothing in common. It would be extremely uncomfortable. Can you stay?”

“Oh, you couldn’t chase me away if you made the whole building holy ground. No way I’m missing this.”

That earned him a chastising frown. “I meant for you to provide moral support, not sit in the back smirking over my mortification, my boy.”

“Moral support, check.” Crowley kissed him, but the way his eyebrows tilted suggested that smirking was not entirely off the table. “I’ll just be in the back, watching.”

The fifteen other students ranged from giggling teenagers obviously there on a date, on up to a few retirees. After consideration, Aziraphale drifted to stand with an awkward clump of people who didn’t seem to know what to do with their hands as they waited; with luck, he’d be able to snag one of the nervous people as a partner. That would be much more reassuring than working with the brashly confident woman over there, or the gentleman taking appalling selfies. Or Shadwell.

Their instructor, a thirties-ish man with a white apron and dimples, called the class to attention. “Welcome to our Pasta Perfection workshop, everyone. Today we’ll be learning how to make gnocchi from scratch, and how to pair different sauces with different pasta shapes. If you will, please pick a partner and find an empty workstation.”

Aziraphale smiled hopefully at the people around him, but somehow failed to catch anyone’s eye. All too quickly, there was only one other rumpled, uncomfortable figure left standing alone.

“Of course,” Aziraphale muttered, then grimaced in what he hoped looked like a welcoming smile. “Mr. Shadwell, shall we?”

*** ***

The drive home was quiet, but not an empty quiet. Aziraphale sat with wounded dignity, refusing to look anywhere but out the passenger-side window. Crowley kept biting his lip, trying not to grin.

Eventually, Crowley said, “I thought it was very unfair of them to kick you out.”

“I do not wish to discuss it.”

“Come on, angel. It can’t be the first time they’ve had a food fight. It was funny!”

“It was not!” Aziraphale turned furious blue eyes on him, quivering. “I shall never be able to show my face there again, and it’s all Mr. Shadwell’s fault.”

“I seem to remember you upending a bowl of chopped tomatoes over him,” Crowley said mildly.

“Yes, but he started it! It wasn’t my fault he couldn’t form the gnocchi properly. There was no call for him to start throwing them at me.”

“To be fair, you weren’t very patient with him. Calling him a useless, clumsy oaf wasn’t very angelic of you.”

Aziraphale sniffed. “As has been pointed out, I have never been a particularly good angel.”

“For my money, you’re the best angel ever — the only really good one.” Crowley pulled into his usual parking spot in front of the bookshop and turned to face him, taking his hands gently. “Tell you what: I’ll pull up some cooking videos on Youtube, and we’ll make pasta together, all right?”

“You don’t even eat,” Aziraphale protested, but there was no fire in it.

“Doesn’t matter. I like doing things with you, angel. I like seeing you happy. Hold on, I think you’ve got some basil right here.” His long fingers plucked out a few leaf fragments from Aziraphale’s hair. “And I promise not to throw food at you unless you really, really deserve it.”

Aziraphale couldn’t help but chuckle. “And if you really, really deserve it?”

“You have my permission to throw all the food you want at me. Anything for my angel.”

“And if your angel needs a kiss after that debacle?”

Crowley leaned his forehead against Aziraphale’s, heedless of the Bentley’s gearshift. “Whatever my angel wants, he gets.”

The kiss definitely made up for the evening’s indignities, and then some.

Events: Nom Nom Nom Revisited - Cookery School - London

The Blogging Scene 15 Years on   A bit like Grand Designs Revisited, at the end  of September we had our first NomNomNom Revisit  – a gathe

A bit like Grand Designs Revisited, at the end  of September we had our first NomNomNom Revisit  – a gathering of food bloggers (cooks, writers and friends) returned to Cookery School at Little Portland Street to cook a Middle Eastern feast together. This time it was not the usual Nom Nom Nom competition (which ran from 2008 to 2012) but a reunion with teamwork, storytelling and a fantastic meal.
