Nesting - gomens
Heeeeeeey y’all
I love the Nestvember thing @nestvember is doing with the prompts, but this month turned hectic and I can’t get my brain to formulate a full fic so HERE:
Crowley’s pov:
Accidentally starts nesting at first
well
subconsciously starts nesting
(around Shakespeare?)
figures it out and freaks out
It’s AnxietyTM time y’all
Knows hell can’t find out or they’ll use Aziraphale against him
worried for them both
can’t make himself stop
keeps trying
angst
Goes to Aziraphale for the Holy Water
rejection burns hotter than Holy Water
jumbled up and angry and hurt and
obviously
not friends
instincts screaming out
agony
in a fit of anger and desperation
goes back to the flat
and wrecks everything he got
for nesting once he realized he was nesting
that breaks something further in him
and he just
s l i d e s
into depression and then apathy with a side of pain
sleeps
he wakes up to alarm bells
he wakes up to Aziraphale’s in trouble
so he saves him
he can’t not
Refuses to nest consciously
because if Hell ever finds out he’s nesting
they’ll use it against him
and punish him for it
(its a weakness there
they exploit the few
luckyunlucky ones that do nest
nests are torn apart
demons tortured)
and it wont be too hard
to figure out who he’s nesting for
and Crowley can’t even bear to think about what would happen then
After the Apocowasn’t
he finds himself trying to steel himself for the absolute agony
of ripping away a thing he caught himself nesting
and then he has a moment
of absolute bewilderment
as he realizes
he doesn’t have to now
no one is snooping on him
(he has wards now- so many
he’d know
he couldn’t before- be suspicious
but now layers
upon layers
his instinct demands it be a safe place
so it is
now)
so decides
quietly
with a cautious hope
careful careful careful
he can nest
he’ll just keep it confined to one room
the bedroom, he decides
Aziraphale doesn’t often come by
once, he’s been there once
and he doesn’t sleep
so there’d be no reason for him to see that room
he’d be too polite to snoop
and he wouldn’t go in when Crowley was there
and he was never there if Crowley wasn’t
so
the bedroom
it’ll be hidden away
safe
his
and it wont be too fast
because Aziraphale won’t even know about it
it’ll be fine
it’ll be fine
(more under the ‘keep reading’ cut)
