Bookmark Notes:
There are many things that probably should be said, and still more that could be, and a few that must be, eventually, no matter how daunting the prospect seems at the moment. But Aziraphale is … tired. It’s a relatively new sensation; he’s an angel, after all, ever-vigilant against the forces of evil and so on.
His favorite force of evil is slouching in the window seat beside him, which isn’t unusual in itself — Aziraphale is used to Crowley sprawling his limbs at strange angles across whatever piece of furniture he’s occupying at the time. But Crowley’s sprawl seems less affected than usual, less calculated to look good. It’s the sort of sprawl that comes from not really caring where his limbs end up as long as he doesn’t have to put any effort into getting them there. He’s tired, too.

“And I would love to stay,” he says, watching that light grow brighter with each passing second, “for as long as you’ll have me.”
“That … could be a while,” Crowley warns, the corners of his mouth finally turning up into the grin that Aziraphale has known and treasured for some six thousand years.
“Do you know,” he says, smiling helplessly back, “I rather think we’ve got plenty of time.”
Crowley laughs and pulls him closer, and when his lips touch Aziraphale’s, Aziraphale kisses him back.
