Blissful Ballad

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫

After a long chat in the park the two find themselves on a lonely trail within the park. "I-It's just complicated Crowley.. I don't know how to explain it. I feel something more for you but I don't know what it is yet" Crowley nods "I-I don't want to jump the gun and say it's love just yet on my end either.. maybe this is what it feels like to have a close friend?" he says looking over at Aziraphale who shrugs. Stopping and enjoying the view Crowley leans on the edge of the bridge they're standing on. Standing beside him Aziraphale sighs with a smile, suddenly Crowley speaks "Would you like to come over for dinner tonight" smiling a bit he nods "I'd like that" looking over at each other they share a smile. 

Putting a hand on top of his Crowley smiles "I'll pick you up at 9" smiling Azriphale nods "Looking forward to it" watching him walk away, he smiles more. Watching the ducks play in the small river he sighs "This might become something more.. and honestly.. I'm hoping it does" he smiles more before heading back home. 

Later into the night around 8:30 Azriphale is getting ready, after ironing his coat he slips it on with a smile looking into the full length mirror on the wall. Putting away the ironing board he checks the time "Nearly there, why am I so excited? It's just dinner" he laughs a bit checking himself one more time before heading downstairs to wait in the bookshop. 

Hearing a car pull up he smiles standing up and opening the door to see Crowley in his 1926 Bentley. Watching him step out he smiles "Oh a new getup, I like it" he says walking up to him admiring the sleek black suit. "Where did you get it?" asks Aziraphale taking the coat and looking at the inside seeing a beautiful pearl white silk lining. Watching him with a smile he shrugs "I found it in my closet, I think it's from the 50's" stepping back a bit Azriphale smiles "Fit's like a glove" he says with a small laugh. "Common now, lets not waste the night" he says with a wink seeing Azriphale fluster a bit more as he walks around to the other side getting in. 

Driving for a bit in a peaceful silence Azriaphale looks around "Crowley are we going to a restaurant?" looking over he smiles. "No actually, I-I wanted to treat you so tonight I'm cooking for the both of us" smiling Aziraphale  says sweetly "I didn't know you cooked" Crowley flusters a bit with a smile keeping his eyes on the road. Pulling into the driveway Aziraphale unbuckles about to open his door but to his surpsie Crowley has already done it for him "Oh, thank you" he says seeing him nod with a smile shutting the door gently.

Waitinh paitently at the table Aziraphale watches him cook from the other side of the open room. Having his jacket off and his sleeves rolled up with his hair pinned back Crowley cooks ignoring Aziraphale watching him. While sitting at the table Aziraphale leans on his hand sighing in awe thinking to himself 'He's so handsome for a Demon' realizing what he's doing he sits up straighter blushing red as Crowley walks over with two plates dished with delicoius looking food. "Wow this looks wonderful" sitting in the closest chair to the end where Aziraphale is sitting he smiles "Thank you" catching glances the pair smile and enjoy the food and each other's company. 

After dinner they sit and chat for a while catching glances here and there "So, w-what now?" Crowley smiles "We could dance" Azriaphale laughs "Demon's dont dance, well good that is" smiling more he takes his hand "And neither do Angel's but you love to we can break norms" blushing as he gets trailed to an open area of the house Azriaphale can't help but smile. Suddenly classical music starts playing in a low tune that echos through the house, looking around for where it could be Aziraphale get's pulled in closer catching him off guard. "You slow dance?" he shrugs "I've watched people do it, it doesn't seem too hard just sway in a circle" Aziraphale smiles draping his arms over his shoulders blushing again feeling his hands on his waist.  Getting lost in the music and in each other they both stare lovingly into each other's eyes "We've gotten comfortable with each other haven't we" says Azriaphale with a nervous laugh seeing him nod. "It feels nice to hold you if I am being honest" Crowley says blushing a bit still staring deeply into his eyes. Staring deeply back Aziraphale leans in kissing him gently, catching him off guard for a moment before he closes his eyes kissing back pulling his body closer against his.
