know, but hey neither did Aziraphale. They were best buds who were in love with each other. Crowley knew how much books meant to Aziraphale and would protect them at all costs. Aziraphale had began to take walks with Crowley, mainly around the block. They would hold hands and be almost romantic. Crowley loved seeing Aziraphale smile as they walked, especially at small things that no other super natural being, heaven or hell bound would notice. He noticed the kids eating ice cream across the street. He noticed the birds softly chirping up in the trees, he noticed the cars soft rumble and he noticed two of the same people with supernatural auros making out every day.
Their first walk, he didn't notice, but after a week of them, he noticed how they had a certain supernatural feel to them. As Aziraphale mentioned it to Crowley he started noticing it as well. They started getting more and more interested in the pair, trying to find something that would point them in the direction as to who the pair was. Aziraphale noticed that the two where often at the same wall at the same spot and Crowley noticed that one was definitely an angle, which didn't give them many leads. After a week total of seeing the pair Crowley was fed up.
"I have a plan angel." Crowley spoke.
"What is your plan," The second of the pair spoke grabbing the demon's hand.
"We are going to do the body swap thing tomorrow before going out on our walk, and then," He paused for the dramatic flair he was good at "We will comfort them,"
"But what if they catch us." Aziraphale worried out loud.
"They won't angel, I promise." Crowley walked closer to Aziraphale "Can I hug you." Aziraphale nodded quickly and Crowley wrapped his arms around Aziraphale. "Everything will be fine Angel."
"Ok, Crowley," Aziraphale said after they finished hugging. "I'll do it." Crowley reached his arm around and patted the angel on the back before going back to holding his hand. Aziraphale although the touch still felt weird, he liked it, he was getting used to it.
The next day Aziraphale got up and proceed with his day like normal. First, he had a small cup of tea, with some toast. Then he walked downstairs and sat down to read while drinking his tea. He read until Crowley showed up down stairs a few hours later having just woken up. He sat down beside the book worm, and Aziraphale set down his tea and grabbed Crowley's hand. He loved holding the demon's hand now.
When it was time for them to switch they went up stairs and closed all the blinds before switching and heading out for their walk. The two walked their normal route. The first time though they didn't see the pair so they decided to loop again and hopefully find them again, only to be sorely disappointed. The two walked the loop a third time with the strangers not showing up before walking back to the apartment. When they arrived Aziraphale stopped.
"Aziraphale they are in the shop." Aziraphale spoke to Crowley
"Let's go in, I'm sure it's fine." The two walked into the shop and saw that no one was in the main lobby and headed back to the back room where two people Aziraphale and Crowley hoped never to see again where sitting in their chairs.
"I can't believe my eyes." Crowley spoke. Raising his eyebrows. "You two!" He stopped not wanting to blow their cover. 
"You two got so upset for us being friends, and now this." Aziraphale picked up where Crowley left off. "I can't believe you Beelzebub, I assumed an angel might be easily tempted, but I never thought you would do it."
"And you Gabriel, What would the almighty have to say." The Two may have been laughing to the point of blowing their cover if they weren't so shocked.
"You two can drop the act, we know about the body switch, but we're the only ones. We made sure of that." Gabriel spoke, Mostly to Aziraphale who was so glad for the sunglasses that where their to hide his eyes.
"We don't know what you're talking about." Aziraphale spoke, trying to sound disgusted at the notion.
"Fine, lets just go and tell the others what we found out and then we can re-do the trial." Gabriel spoke to Beelzebub. Aziraphale looked to Crowley who nodded to tell him that they couldn't lie to the two of them. They switched back, while Beelzebub smirked.
"I told you it would work Gabe."
"Okay you two we want answers." Aziraphale spoke, "But we can do it over tea, if you two could come upstairs." Beelzebub was the first to follow, Gabriel and Crowley following them up stairs to the small dining room table where the four of them could sit.
"I just find it so amusing that you got mad at us for working with the opposition, who might I add, wasn't even for romance before the not Armageddon." Gabriel rolled his eyes at the mention of the Armageddon. "We were just working together for business,"
"Well, we were supposed to but, umh, things happened while we were staking out the book shop, as spending a month straight will do."
"And we need your help." Beezlebub spoke, while Aziraphale placed all the tea down in front of everyone.
"And why would we help you." Aziraphale spoke.
"For two reasons, 1. We will turn you in if you don't 2. We just need help hiding the fact that we are dating." Crowley let out a laugh, before nodding.
"Okay, what do you two need?"
