A Harmful Lie

Hard Decisions

Gabriel and Beelzebub stood in Crowley's room; Gabe's knees bent slightly to be level with Beelzebub. Crowley sat on his chair, twiddling his thumbs, processing the news he had just heard.

"You know I can't just leave Angel without a reason!" He mumbled, frustrated.

"Well if you don't, his immortal life will come to an end" Gabriel replied with a look that is a combination of smug and sympathy.

"Are you fucking serious?!" Crowley growled, standing up quickly.

"Yes we are Crawley. Leave him or else he will disappear forever and it'll all be your fault" Beelzebub said with a mysterious tone like he was hiding something.

"First of all, its Crowley. Second of all, if you fucking touch him after I leave I'm hunting you both down, got it?!" Crowley yelled, the leaves of his plants beginning to tremble.

Beelzebub nodded understandably then disappeared with Gabriel. Crowley couldn't believe what he has to do. Tell Aziraphale, his beloved angel, that he cannot be in his life anymore.. it hurt him deeply and he knew he wouldn't get over what he has to do.

Crowley meets up with Aziraphale at the band stand and his legs shake with nervousness. He has to, he doesn't want his lover to die! Zira walks into view and smiles at him.

"Good evening dear. What's the matter?" Aziraphale questioned, stopping at the other side.

"I uh.. got word that.. you'll die if... if I stay with you.." Crowley mumbled.

"That's absurd! If it was true, and I highly doubt it, I'd have been told the same thing by now. Listen dear, its alright. Whoever said it lied to you,"

"Beelzebub and Gabriel told me this morning. I'm sorry angel but I can't risk it! I have to go!" Crowley turned his back towards the angel.

"Crowley, wait!" Aziraphale yelled, but Crowley flew away.

Aziraphale stook there in shock. Was it true? Why wasn't he told about it? He had to find out soon.

Crowley sat in his room, his head on the desk. He couldn't believe he did that. Break up with his soul mate. He had planned to propose at the end of the armageddon business but he never found the right time to do it. He buried the ring in the soil of one plant.

"Keep this safe for me alright?" Crowley muttered whilst gently watering the plant.

He watered the rest then started to drink a lot of expensive whiskey. Aziraphale on the other hand, sat in bed all day. He didn't sell books. He didn't even bother opening the book shop today for he was depressed. He deeply loved Crowley and he didn't think he'd be gullible enough to believe lies..
