Titanic (Aziraphale X Crowley)

Chapter Six: Meeting the First Class

Back with Crowley and Aziraphale, Crowley was telling Aziraphale about the roles he had as a demon and some of the fun he had while pursuing his love for art. Aziraphale asked him why he couldn't be like him. To just head out into the horizon whenever he felt like it. He then told him to tell him that they would to a pier in America to have that kind of fun. He knew it would never happen which is why he wanted to hear from Crowley that they would do it.

Crowley said that they would go. That they would drink cheap beer, ride the rollercoasters until they threw up, and then later ride horses on the beach. But he told him that he would have to ride the horse properly, not the side-saddle stuff. Legs on both sides. Aziraphale was shocked by the suggestion but soon warmed up to it. Even asking him to teach him how to do things like a demon.

Crowley fed into it a bit, amused by the fact he never thought of all this before. When Aziraphale asked him to teach him how to spit like a demon, Crowley offered to teach him right that moment. Aziraphale tried to stop him from teaching him as they were around a lot of First Class people but Crowley insisted. He took him to the side of the ship and showed him how to do it.

Aziraphale commented on how disgusting it was but Crowley told him to try it. He did but it wasn't as good as what Crowley did. So, he showed him how to do it. He tried it again and it was a little better before getting ready to show him again. But he stopped him when he noticed Molly and the Metatron approaching. Aziraphale got Crowley's attention to them and he quickly stopped.

"Sir," Aziraphale said walking up to her, "May I introduce Anthony J. Crowley?"

"Charmed, I'm sure," Metatron said not liking him

Molly pointed to her chin, telling Crowley that he still had spit on his chin. He wiped it away quickly. The others were gracious and curious about the demon who had saved Aziraphale's life but the Metatron looked at him like an insect. A dangerous insect that must be squashed quickly.

"Well, Anthony, sounds like you're a good man to have around in a sticky spot," Molly said to Crowley, smiling

Crowley smiled at the comment as a trumpet went off, telling everyone that it was time for dinner.

"Why do they always insist on announcing dinner like a damn cavalry charge?" Molly asked turning to the one playing the trumpet

Aziraphale laughed at Molly's comment before dragging the Metatron away to get changed for dinner. Crowley watched Aziraphale as he walked away but Molly had something to ask him.

"Uh, son? Son!" Crowley looked at Molly, "Do you have the slightest comprehension what you're doing?"

"Not really," Crowley said with an unsure smile

"Well, you're about to go into the snake pit. What are you planning to wear?"

Crowley looked down at the clothes he was already wearing.

"I figured. Come on."

Molly took Crowley to her cabin where she dressed him up in her son's clothes. She thought the two were about the same size and she was right. Crowley hadn't worn something like that before but it suited him well. She soon sent him off to First Class as she still needed to get ready. When he walked up to the doors, a member of staff opened the door for him, greeting him like a First Class passenger.

Crowley walked among the First Class people while an orchestra played 'On the Beautiful Blue Danube' on the floor below him. He walked down the Grand Staircase and waited for the people who invited him there. Of course, he soon realised that he almost stood out just by his posture. He looked at other First Class men in the room and tried to copy their posture. He then saw Gabriel and the Metatron arrive but Gabriel just nodded to him and walked away, not realising that it was Crowley.

As Crowley just accepted that and tried to copy how Gabriel was behaving, he soon noticed Aziraphale at the top of the staircase, looking down at him. He walked down to him and Crowley met him at the bottom of the stairs, kissing the back of his hand when he arrived to him. Aziraphale just smiled at him as he offered his arm to him. He took it and walked over to Gabriel with him.

Aziraphale got his attention and introduced him to Crowley. Gabriel was taken aback by Crowley looking like an Angel now. Gabriel commented on the fact that Crowley could almost pass as one and Crowley agreed. Gabriel was impressed before walking off with the Metatron. Crowley led Aziraphale to dinner behind Gabriel and the Metatron. When they reached a room outside of the Dining room, Aziraphale started introducing Crowley to the people he would be sitting with that night.

Or at last some of them. He told him about the Countess of Rothes and John Jacob Astor and his wife, Madeleine. John Jacob Astor was the richest man on the ship and his wife was seventeen years old and in a delicate condition. In other words, she was pregnant but trying so hard to hide it. Aziraphale then pointed to a man named Benjamin Guggenheim and his mistress, Madame Aubert. Benjamin's wife was at home with the children. Aziraphale then introduced him to Sir Cosmo and Lucille Lady Duff-Gorden.

Lucille is a fashion designer who designed naughty lingerie among her many talents. Sir Cosmo congratulated Gabriel on recruiting Aziraphale. Gabriel thanked him just as Molly arrived, asking Crowley if he would escort her and Aziraphale to dinner. He offered his arm to her and led the two to the dining room. But, before Crowley could sit down for dinner with Aziraphale and the First Class, Molly gave some last-minute advice: The people he was about to have dinner with love money so all he had to do was pretend that he owned a Gold Mine and he would be in the club. At least for that night.
