I Do (Like You)

Summary:

Aziraphale smiles. “I do like you, you know.”

“You do?” Crowley raises a teasing eyebrow.

Apparently he misses the mark; Aziraphale’s tone remains utterly serious. “Yes, I do. Quite a bit.”

(One year later, they're back at the bandstand. Fluff heals all wounds.)

Notes:

One last drabble! While this originated as an outtake from my Guess the Author ficlet, and is probably best read along with the others in this series, it can also easily stand on its own.

Tiny though this one is, I admit to being rather fond of it. :) I hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Aziraphale smiles. “I do like you, you know.”

“You do?” Crowley raises a teasing eyebrow.

Apparently he misses the mark; Aziraphale’s tone remains utterly serious. “Yes, I do. Quite a bit.”

And it’s not like Crowley didn’t already know it. It’s not like Aziraphale hasn’t told him, even, multiple times. The Ritz, the bookshop, the park…

But still, hearing it here, bandstand arching overhead, apocalypse behind them and the future ahead, he has to remember how to blink.

Then, dismayingly, he realizes he didn’t respond. “I like you too!”

Aziraphale rolls his eyes, and presses Crowley’s hand. “I know, dear.”

Notes:

Thanks for reading, have a nice day, and as always do please feel free to comment if you have anything to share!
