The Mistake And Her Temptation (Good Omens, Crowley x Reader)

Chapter 9

We all went back to Crowley's apartment after realizing the bookshop was burned down. Aziraphale is going to have to stay with us for a bit.

I brought out glasses of whiskey for them and a couple of shots of tequila for me.

"To the rest of our lives." Crowley smiled, raising his glass.

I downed my shot, the burn going down my tongue to my chest making me feel alive.

I was suddenly pulled from sitting beside Crowley to being in his lap, a giggle escaping my throat.

"I'm genuinely happy for the both of you." Aziraphale smiled, drinking a few sips.

Two bottles of whiskey, a little over three fourths of a bottle of tequila, and twelve jello shots later we were drunk off our asses.

I listened as the two of them talked about dolphin brains. I laughed, knowing they don't know half of what I know.

They then began talking about what animal has the largest brain. Crowley said the blue whale, Aziraphale said the Kraken.

"Actually, the animal with the largest brain has yet to be discovered by scientists." I interrupted.

Crowley smiled and kissed my neck, making me giggle more. "Y'know, we're all wrong. (Y/n) has the biggest brain of them all."

I laughed again, pushing his shoulder playfully. He just grinned at me, his serpentine eyes catching mine.

"C-Crowley," Aziraphale interrupted our moment, "I actually need to talk to you. And we might need to sober up for this."

I cocked my head at him and we all sobered up, the aftertaste of tequila still on my tongue.

"There's a prophecy that fell out of Agnes Nutter's book. It says, 'Choose your faces wisely.' What could that mean?" Aziraphale asked.

"No way. Her prophecy was that simple?" I asked, taking the little slip from him.

"Do you think it means us?" Crowley asked, looking at it from over my shoulder.

"I do believe it does. There's another one, but I think only (y/n) should see it." Aziraphale stated slowly.

I tensed but stood, grabbing the other prophecy from his hand. I read it as Aziraphale kept his eyes on me.

'Half and half as angel and demon, the mare you got will tell the future. To death you shall be sent, along with thine lover and friend. By the holiest of holies and the eternal flame.'

I paled, now knowing Aziraphale knows what I am. And we both know we're going to die.

"The prophecy, um... the one about choosing your face... I know what it means." I stated softly. "And you both need to do it quickly. You need to change into each other."

My nightmare flashed inside my head again.

"You'll both be held against Heaven and Hell. You two stopped Armageddon and everyone is angry. Crowley, if you go as you..." I stopped for a second, a tear going down my cheek, "they'll use holy water. Aziraphale, they'll use hellfire."

They both nodded and looked at each other. "Might as well. Wouldn't want to lose Earth to Heaven or Hell, right?" Crowley stated.

As they shook hands, they slowly changed into each other, making me stare in slight amazement.

"What about you, love? You played a part in Armaggedon." Crowley stated in Aziraphale's voice.

"They won't hurt me." I smiled, hoping the lie would stay hidden. I know they'll do much worse...
