Fruit

HC: Crowley smells like fruit. Okay, it sounds a little weird but here me out...

So Crowley was the serpent in the Garden of Eden, he was the one who tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, right? So I, oddly, think that he was 'cursed' to smell of fruit ever since because I also believe that that was his first "demonic deed" so he now possesses the smell of the fruit to remind him of it. 

The Garden of Eden

The beginning

"Take a bite," The hypnotizing sound of the serpent's voice echoed through Eve's mind. And with that, she bit into the fruit. 

*     *     *

  On the wall of the garden, an angel and a demon stood together. The two sparked a simple conversation between each other, no disagreements, no unreasonable mentions of pure evil or pure good, just a conversation. 

Rain began to fall onto the earth, the first rainfall. Aziraphale's wing raised in an offer of shelter for the surprisingly likable demon. He accepted the offer and stepped underneath the wing making them a little closer together.

"...uhm, thank you," The demon said a little uncertain of how to respond to the kind gesture. 

Aziraphale smiled, "You're welcome, Cr-uhm...Cra-"

"Crawley," 

"Ah, yes. My apologizes," 

"You're alright," Crawley said.

They stood together in silence for a few moments. 

Aziraphale admired his surroundings, the feeling of the rain, the looks of the garden and the vast sand covering the land, the sound of the breeze and rain against the leaves and stone, and the strong smell of- fruit...? 

"Huh," He sighed

Crawley turned and looked at him with an expression of question. "Pardon?"

Aziraphale looked back, "It's nothing really, just the smell of something," He said, "It smells like fruit from down there," He motioned to the garden, specifically to the fruit tree that was deemed forbidden. 

"Well, that would make sense. We're literally surrounded by fruit,"  Crawley said, pointing out the obvious.

"Well, yes, but it's stronger. We're way up here and the fruit is down there, it just seems a bit unrealistic that the sent is this strong," 

"Who knows?"

Present time

"AH HA!" Azirphale blurted as he stood up from the couch suddenly, making Crowley jump a bit. 

"What? What is it?" Crowley said.

"I finally figured it out!" 

"What!? Angel what are you talking ab-"

"It's you! You're the reason I'm always smelling fruit, or at least whenever I'm with you. But that's why!" Aziraphale exclaimed. 

"Uhm... Okay...?" Crowley said, still a little confused.

"Don't you sound like that! I've been trying to figure this out since Eden! This is an important moment for me,"

"Since Eden!?" 

"YES!" The angel said, "Every time I have ever been with you, I can always smell the strong scent of fruit and I've always wondered why, well that's because the smell is from you."
