Couple Trouble


London, Soho, Greek Street, 22 May 2006

Aziraphale hears the door open and the buzzer sound, a sign that a customer has just entered, but when he jovially looks up from the counter he realizes that it's not a customer at all.

"Crowley! This is certainly not your kind of income, "he exclaims, hardening his expression. "Anyway, I'm working now, never let a customer buy one of my boring and dusty books!"

It is evident that he still has it with him for the indelicate words he used the previous day.

"Huh, but ... but today I am a customer, I would like to buy a book." the demon amazes him with his request.

"A book. You would like to buy a book ?! " the angel repeats with a skeptical tone, his left eyebrow arched, his arms crossed over his chest, his inquisitive expression staring at the demon.

"NGK! More like a manual... "Crowley mutters, wandering around, agitated. "Something like 'How to learn to keep your big mouth shut and avoid hurting the angel you love with all your heart'?" he asks, taking off his dark glasses so that his lonely dog or rather lonely snake look stand out at its best.

Aziraphale can't sulk any more and gives him the sunniest of smiles.

"Yes, dear, I think I have something like that," he goes to meet him, then kisses him, taking advantage of the fact that there aren't any real clients.

"For real?" Crowley's jade eyes widen and the other nods, kissing him again.

"I didn't think it would take so little, angel, to think that I also had a gift for you ...."

"A gift?" Aziraphale lights up with curiosity.

Now that he looks at it better, he is actually holding a paper bag with something in it.

"Ta dan!" the demon reveals his surprise.

Aziraphale stares at the carnivorous plant with its jaws open with a certain fear and at a safe distance.

"Um, dear, exactly what am I supposed to do with this ... thing?"

"This 'thing' is called Dionaena Muscipula or, if you just can't remember her scientific name, Venus Fly Eater." Crowley corrects him, a little resentful. "She will keep annoying insects away from you while you read your books." he pleads his cause, stretching the plant towards him, who recoils further.

"N... nope, dear, I prefer not to accept it. I don't even have that many bugs around. On the contrary ... What if she found nothing and ate my pages? " the angel is alarmed.

"NGK! I don't think she can do it... "Crowley mumbles, confused.

"Exactly, you don't think so. You are not sure. Let's say you're very forgiven, but take that thing away with you! " Aziaphale pleads.

"I've already exwwwplained you that her name issss ..." Crowley hisses, g his tone nw colder, but the other anticipates him, with a finger to his lips.
