Crowley stared at Aziraphale waiting for him to say something. "You know that's not a Human right!? Or are you stupid?" Crowley hissed, Aziraphale patted his chest making Crowley calm down slightly.

"I know they are not a human, their name is Muriel, they are an angel as you know. Gabriel probably sent them to watch over me or us." The Angel explained, Crowley groaned and flopped down onto Aziraphales chair. The Angel sighed, crossing his arms while trying to figure out the situation.  "Is it possible to actually speak to the all mighty? Face to face?" The demons head perked up.

"How the fuck would I know?" He asked, Aziraphale rolls his eyes. He couldn't be mad at Crowley, but he could be annoyed. "Your the one with books." Crowley added, the Angels eyes widened in realization. He was about to say some when Muriel knocked on the door.

"Hello, uhm...would you both be able to like come out of the room?" Muriel sweetly asked, Crowley glared at the Angel. The Demon opened his mouth to protest but Aziraphale covered his mouth quickly.

"Yes, of course my dear." The Angel responded, you could hear Muriel's happy giggles as they walked away. Crowley scoffed, and stood up. "Oh don't whine, it will be fine my dear." Aziraphale squeezed the demons shoulder. Crowley looked to the ground slightly warm inside.

"Alright let's just go." He hissed back, the Angel smiled and opened the door for him.

"After you." The Demon rolled his eyes and walked through the door. Aziraphale smiled and came out after them. They both were greeted by Muriel who smiled warmly at them. Aziraphale nodded to Muriel. "Oh, would you like to sit down?" Aziraphale asked, Muriel looked halfly confused but nodded. They followed the Angel and Demon back to the main area where they sat across from the duo. Crowley sat on the side of the love seat, only just leaning against his Angel.

"So...Muriel-" Crowley was intruppted by the other Angel across from him.

"Did I tell you my name?" Muriel honestly asked, Crowley froze and glanced over to the angel that sat beside him. Aziraphale nudged the Demon wanting him to say something.

"No." He said, unfazed. Aziraphales posture broke, he slumped down and rubbed his temples.

"For heavens sake Crowley." The Angel murmured, Crowley just awkwardly smiled at Muriel, which just made them uneasy. "I'm sorry Muriel, for...him, but we know your not a human." Aziraphale said, Muriel sighed sadly.

"Really? Was that obvious?" Muriel sadly asked, Crowley nodded quickly. The Angel leaned back into the chair, so done with earth and heaven at this point. Why was he chosen to watch over earth? Why not Uriel or something.

"Yes it was." Crowley answered for Aziraphale, Muriel started to fidget with their hands nervously. Aziraphale sighed and glanced over to Crowley nervously then back to the other Angel.

"Muriel...we are not mad. We just want to know why Gabriel sent you here." Aziraphale said, Muriel's head perked up at the name Gabriel and they fixed their posture to look more professional.

"Well...he wanted me to watch you twos relationship to see the weaknesses you would have." Muriel explained, Crowley nudged Aziraphale with a devilish smile.

"Relationship ay?" The Demon raised a brow, Aziraphale grew warm and shook his head.

"Oh stop, Muriel, I do not mind you watching over us but you need to tell us what Gabriel says." Aziraphale firmly said, Crowley groaned and stood up. He walked away, probably to get wine.

"Aziraphale...?" Muriel quietly said, Aziraphale hummed in a response. "I honestly don't care about you two but could you maybe...show me around earth?" Muriel winced expecting a 'no' but Aziraphale just smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I would love to." Muriel smiled widely at the answer and giggled.

"Right!"
