Aziraphale's POV:
I was in my book shop reading romeo and juliet and thinking how Crowley and I have a similar friendship. Two people from opposite sides want to spent time with each other but could be severely punished of they do so. Obviously I'm NOT in love with crowley but I suppose I would die if he did. He's my best friend, I couldn't live here without him. I know love means to go without so your romantic interest can have the world, crowley and I have both done that for each other but that doesn't mean we're in love...does it? No, absolutely not. I, Aziraphale am NOT in love with crowley!
Crowley's POV:
Recently I've found myself reading a bunch of sappy romance books which is weird for a bunch of reasons. I hate books and I can't stand the thought of love but I'm addicted to these fucking things. I read Romeo and Juliet recently, I don't know why. I went to see it with Aziraphale the first time it was shown. He looked almost adorable, gazing at the stage with a bright smile on his face. Wait...what the hell am I saying? Just because he's adorable doesn't mean I should give a fuck. Besides, even if I did fancy him he wouldn't go out with me. If I was an angel he'd be all over me! I'd probably let him.
3rd person:
Aziraphale couldn't stop thinking about crowley so he decided to call him. Crowley heard his phone ring and picked it up "hey Aziraphale" he smiled. The angel smiled brightly "hello, crowley! I was wondering if you would like to go out for lunch" he hoped the demon would say yes, he missed him for the entire day they were apart. Crowley smiled although that was only because nobody could see "sure" he acted casual despite being insanely excited "Where do you wanna eat?" They decided on a cute café that was nearby because neither of them really wanted a full meal.
Crowley played 'somebody to love' as he sped to the café at God knows what speed and saw Aziraphale outside. The angel looked really nervous, Crowley was nervous too but he was better at hiding it.
Aziraphale's POV:
I was standing outside the café waiting for Crowley and getting more nervous by the minute. Reading Romeo and really set me off on another lovey-dovey mood. Gosh...last time this happened I was watching the play myself with crowley and I kept glancing at him, wondering if he could ever love me. But it's not like I love him, I was just curious. I would never have a romantic with a demon! I'm an angel...I'm not allowed to.
3rd person:
When Aziraphale saw crowley pull up in his Bentley, he mumbled a quote from Romeo and Juliet "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" he watched the demon walk over "aww, thanks angel" Crowley smirked. Aziraphale's cheeks went bright red "I-it wasn't about you! I was just trying to remember the lines!" He quickly walked inside. Crowley looked down at Aziraphale's ass as he walked but only a little so he wouldn't get caught.
They sat down at a table for two by a window and looked at the small menu. There was a short silence for a while before Aziraphale finally spoke "so...how have you been?" He asked, not looking at the Male. Crowley smiled "I've been alright. Just...reading" he didn't look either. Aziraphale's head shot up "Reading, you!? Wow...you must be bored out of your mind" he couldn't believe Crowley would even touch a book. Crowley looked up at him "Oh definitely, I'm so bored I keep reading Romance novels and books and all that shit." It felt weird saying that out loud. Aziraphale gasped "romance!? Oh, you poor thing! You really should socialise more so you don't go down the romantic path. We both know what happened last time I was hooked" he blushed. Crowley laughed "oh yeah! Didn't you propose to me?" He smiled. Aziraphale adjusted his bowtie "I um...Yes" he blushed. The waiter walked over "yeah...I'll have the angel cake" he ordered it purely to tease Aziraphale and it worked "I um...I'll have um...a cup of tea" he was really flustered.
A few minutes later, they were both chatting and laughing. Crowley was even flirting a little but Aziraphale pretended not to notice, mainly because he wasn't sure if it was real "I know this cake is pretty good but I bet a real angel tastes so much better" he purred. Aziraphale almost choked on his tea "w-what!? I wouldn't suggest eating me, crowley" he looked down. Crowley chuckled at the angel's innocence and finished his cake.
When they were done, they went to the bookshop because neither of them wanted to be apart. Crowley walked in and saw Romeo and Juliet on the table. He laughed and turned to Aziraphale "you're going all romantic again" he smirked. Aziraphale went red "I most certainly am not! I was just reading!" He went to the back room. Crowley saw a small white leather book with no title. He picked it up and opened it. He laughed "he has a diary!? Oh, this is gonna be good" he started reading it. There was a whole page dedicated to crowley and it said 'dear diary, I understand that I'm not allowed to be in a relationship with a demon but surely having feelings for one
is okay. I mean....nothing is going to happen between us so I suppose it really is okay. Oh, I do wish it wasn't against the rules to be with Crowley...it would be amazing. He's just so beautiful and kind, there's nothing I wouldn't do to be able to kiss him at least once. His lips look so soft and cute...I should really think about something else before I start mentally undressing him again' the entry ended there. Crowley was shocked, tore that page out for...personal use and put it in his pocket. Aziraphale walked out with tea and have crowley a cup. Crowley smirked "I must say, angel, your lips look so soft and cute". Aziraphale choked on his tea "You read my diary!?" He shrieked. Crowley giggled "You should write about your lusts for me. Now that would be a great book" he walked over to the angel. Aziraphale blushed "these fucking books! They always find a way to reveal some sort of secret about me!" He was stressing out. Crowley walked over and cupped his cheek with his hand "it's okay, Angel" he gently kissed him. Aziraphale quickly kissed back and held him close. This is why he loves books so much
