Summary
“Is my nose…”
“Not broken. Just… just a little nosebleed. Not a bad one either.” He confirmed. Aziraphale carefully withdrew the tissue – and really, there were only a few drops of blood. “Let me see?” The other man said, carefully tilting his head, only to snatch his hands back a moment later. “Erm, sorry. I shouldn’t have – sorry. You’re fine, it’s stopped.”
He blinked at the stranger, wondering how he’d ended up in the situation he was in. “You’re… not very cool, are you?” He asked, only to realise how rude that was a moment later.
Uncomfortable silence reigned between them for several moments, then the other man burst into laughter. He howled with it – and to Aziraphale’s relief, he didn’t seem offended at all, not even when he stopped with a final giggle a minute later.
“Wow! Bit of a bastard, aren’t you?” The older man asked with a huge grin.
“Am I? I’m not the one who hit you with a door.”
The other man’s smile turned to a grimace. “Yes, I am sorry – you’re kidding, aren’t you?” He asked in a defeated tone.
Aziraphale grinned at him. “Yeah, mostly. I feel better now.”“Good, that’s good. Listen, I… can I buy you lunch? To say sorry?” The other man offered.

Summary
That sealed the deal – Crowley didn’t even care what the man looked like, he wanted him. He wasn’t too bothered about whether or not his advance might be unwelcome – his gaydar pinged rather heavily at the man in his tartan bowtie. Of course, there was every chance Crowley wasn’t his type, but that didn’t always matter either – and he really was quite… keen. It had been a while.
“What are you reading?” He asked, doing his best to sound seductive, and feeling oddly weird about it, like he didn’t quite hit the right tone. The stranger straightened up and turned around to look at him – and just like that, Crowley’s fantasies popped like a balloon.
The other man was beautiful, yes, a cute button nose, almost criminally blue eyes, an innocent and yet very attractive expression on his face… but he was young. Crowley had assumed the other man to be his age, maybe a few years older – this man was at minimum ten years younger than him. He tried not to cringe, suddenly feeling quite sleazy about his previous thoughts.
“Oscar Wilde, Salome.” The other man replied, fingers still stroking the page.
Well, DAMN.
