The Parent Trap (GOOD OMENS AU)

Chapter 1

Aziraphale looks towards the man, a calm smile on his face. The other man held his champagne glass towards him, the music all around them felt so much quieter when Aziraphale just focused on him. He pulled his glasses down and Aziraphale smiled brighter.

"To the world."

"To the...world."

–

Azirphale looks for his phone, in only a few minutes he would be saying goodbye to his son and send him off to camp. It felt weird, sending him away from him. He hasn't been to many places, so he couldn't help but be worried-

"Dad? You okay?" Aziraphale blinks, getting out of his thoughts he looks towards the noise. There Adam, his son, stood there, his yellow-brown eyes riddled with worry. His summer camp gear in his hands and cap on his light, curly hair. He held a book in his hand, one of the numerous ones Aziraphale's bookshop held. Upon seeing Adam, Aziraphale smiled brightly, moving towards him and ruffling his head. "Of course dear, sorry I was just thinking about something."

Aziraphale moves back, fussing over his appearance whilst Adam tries to push him off a bit, "Now, Pepper and her mother will be here in a few minutes, so I just want to make sure you're all ready. Now do you have your sanitary stuff?"

"Yes!"

"Your clothes and underwear?"

"Yes,"

"Sunscreen?"

"Yes! Dad, I have everything. Don't worry about it, I used a checklist and everything!" Adam said, moving Aziraphale's hand off his hair. Aziraphale chuckles, "Sorry dear, I'm just worried. This will be your first time outside of Soho, so I want you to comfortable as possible-"

Adam then suddenly moved to him and hugged him. "I'm going to be okay, dad. Don't worry, I'm not a little kid anymore! I'm eleven after all." He said. Aziriphale smiles down at him, "Of course. Now, let's get you out. Don't want to keep Pepper and her mom waiting now do we?" Adam nodded and the two of them walked out of the A & Z CO bookshop.

Adam grins when he sees Pepper, who was waving from the inside of her and moms car, and he couldn't help but be excited. He was going to go to Camp Walden after begging his dad for years!

"Well, before you" Aziraphale said, turning Adam around. "Remember, you have first aid in your kit. If anyone tries to hurt you, try to reason with them then defend yourself if anything happens. And, if you need anything or you're lonely, you can call me. Okay?"

Adam nods, a soft look grazing his face. His dad was a bit of a worry wart, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

Adam hugs him, enjoying the comfort his dad's hugs always had. "I will dad. See you in 8 weeks."

Aziraphale smiles and hugs back, "See you in 8 weeks."

Adam moves back and runs to the car, getting in next to Pepper. Then, after settling in and quickly throwing his bags in the back, Adam waved his dad goodbye.

As Adam sees his father's figure disappearing, a bit of worry sets in. He was a little nervous. What if something bad happened to him when he was gone?

"Adam? Are you excited?! This will be the first summer all 4 of us will be together at camp! I promise you, you're gonna. Love. It." Pepper exclaimed, pulling Adam back into the little world in the car. As Pepper drilled on what camps were about, he felt a bit calmer.

He really shouldn't be worried because starting right now, he was gonna have the best summer ever!

Crowley was driving down the highway in his beautiful Bentley, planning to go to one of his numerous jobs when he got a call. He looked at his phone, which was mounted on those phone holders, and saw it was under the name of "Warlock the Wizard." He chuckled a bit and answered.

The video of a Warlock appeared, his long dark hair and blue eyes staring at him with a grumpy look.

"Pops."

"Yes, Warlock?"

"Why is the summer camp in freaking England?"

Crowley raised an eyebrow, "Told you that you were heading there when I signed you up. Didn't I?"

"No?! I meant the Camp Walden near where we live! Not the one in here!" Warlock groaned.

Crowley gave him an innocent look. "Should've specified. Especially since your pop is British himself, innit?"

"Pops-"

"Look, how about you stay for 2 weeks, and if you don't like it. I'll get Anathema to come get you, yea?" Crowley compromised, looking quickly to the phone then back at the road.

Warlock looked at him, mildly annoyed at his father's negligence to listen to him properly, sighed and nodded. "Fine,"

"Atta boy! That's the spirit." Crowley laughed. "Whatever. See you in 2 weeks."

"See you in a few weeks." Crowley replied, and was about to hang up when Warlock suddenly replied, "I love you..."

Crowley paused, looking at the phone and his cheeks turned red. "Oi! I told you to not-"he didn't get to finish, seeing his cheeky smile as he ended the call.

Crowley pouted as he parked into his job's parking lot. He looked down at his hands, fidgeting a bit with his fingers. He will never get used to hearing-

His eyes suddenly fell to the ring on his ring finger. It was a black band, with a white diamond in the middle.

"I forgive you."

Crowley groans a bit. He really couldn't let go, could he?

He really was a fucking idiot.

"How is Brian already dirty!?" Pepper asked, looking at their friend who seemed to be covered in mud. Wensleydale and Adam shrugged as the group walked up to the table to find out where they're cabins are.

Brian (They weren't sure what his last name was, honestly.) was always dirty, somehow. The friends no longer questioned it, but it doesn't mean they aren't sometimes surprised. Brian was about to respond until they got to the table. "Name?" A lady with flowers in her braids asked, not bothering to look up.

Adam frowned, how rude. "Uhm. Adam Fell,"

"Uh huh. You're in Cabin B, down there and turn to the right." She said, looking up and directing him. "Next!"

Adam moved to the side, gripping on his bag as he waited as each of his friends were told their cabins. "Looks like all of us got Cabin B!" Wensleydale said, cheering. "Well, almost all of us."

Pepper glared at Wensleydale, "Don't remind me. I don't wanna share a room with a bunch of girls who only talk about boys or squeal at the first sign of dirt!"

"Come on Pep! I doubt that they're gonna be like that-" Adam started but then Pepper points to a group of girls heading to Peppers cabin, which was Cabin D, who were all wearing clothes that weren't appropriate for summer camp. The boys grimace.

"That's what I mean." Pepper exclaimed, drooping a bit. Brian patted her shoulder, "It'll be fine Pep, if you want we can do the thing we did last year."

"Last year?" Adam asked at the same time Pep smiled mischievously at the suggestion. The 3 turned to Adam with newfound excitement.

"There is a lot we gotta teach you!" Wensleydale said. Adam couldn't help but feel excited.

This summer is gonna be awesome!
