they do, sometimes, spend time apart. Azripahle is rpetty sure it will gor to be longer eventually - they've just got six htousadn years of having to be sneaky to counter the suddenness of no longer having to pretend. What used to be a few hours here, a few hours there several years later had been lost while they where under the empoy of the dowlings, and since then, parting has felt strange. na now - now azirpahle no longer has to turn corlwey out, who in turn no long has to word each visit as some scheme.

still, they have existed essentally alone sine the garden, and azirpahle does enjoy reading, loosing himself in the pafes of a belove story for days at a time, and crowley gets the itch to be a general neasence to the larger london population. so they drift apart for a few days. it won't last long, and there is something wonderful about holding corlwey's hand in full veiw of anyone bothering to look. and not worring in the slightest what anyone things about it.

he doesn't even worry about hte scales really. he's accepted them. there's even brown sneaking in among the vein of this feathers, a drty dust colour that will eventually stain into the barbs. azirpahle desn't even know if he cares so much as he worries about crowley. azirpahle expected to fall when he told off the quatermaster nad return to earth against orders. the fact that it didn't happen then, but was happening now didn't suprise him - but he was dissapointed that he Almighty decidede vocalizing his love for crolwey was the last straw. of all the things he's done in six thousand years - that was what would damn him.

no, whta worried azirpahle was how crolwey would react. wither the dmeon realised it or not - he did put azirpahle up on a pedistal of sorts. and azirpahle had found soloice int at for a long time. the only angel worht knowing. crowely put alont of faith in azriahle, and the fact that azirpahle remained an angel both vexed and comforted the demon. he had vocalized many a times that looking at he archangels, he wasn't sure what mad them any better than the dark council. he was ready to write off all of angeldom as bieng hypocrites of the hightest order - until azirpahle. azirplahe, in corlwey's mind, said that maybe there was a reason he fell and suffered like he did , that it wasn't just polotics. that there where 'good' angel still, despide heaven's sharp turn into bullshit.

azirpahel wasn't worried corlwey's affectios wuld change, now that he was falling. no azripahle was worried aout how it would impace the demon's mental (health). how was cowley going to react unpon the eventual discovery that loving him is what had ultimatle damned azirpahle?

he was too smart for azirpahle to hid this forever; no the plan was still to never let the demon know, but to hopefullt hide it until the fall was complete. make it seem like a once and done thing, inevably and ineffable.

crowley could never find out that azirpahle could have stopped it anytime. he simply choose not too - choosing crolwey over god

he knows something is wrong - knew the moment the words left his mouth.

He said them anyway. Six thousand years of denial, he would say them as many times as he had to until it no longer hurt to recall each previous lie. He didn't dare think there would be no consiquences, but he had haoped. he had hoped so hard, when each of his recent infractions merrired no responce.

crolwely still sleeps at his side; the unease at how quickly htey'd been ushered away at he park - even if it had been the plan - has them both nervious about being aprt at the time. azirpahle, while nejoying a chance to simply exist, curcled up next to his dearest fiend, doens't sleep often, though his mind quiets in a way he's never been able to find solance in before.

feeling bold last night, azirpahle had cuddled inclose to crowley, holding the demon as he settled in for a nap. they'd gotten better about vocalizing their freindship, ad azirpahle had been quite open about how dear her concidered crolwey over thew ages. but there was one thing left he'd nver allowed himself to say - barely allowed himself to entetain, even in the privacy of his own mind.

"i love you," it had been more matter of fact than a state ment of affection, one he would had raged at himself at if he'd not been distracted by the open wonder in croley's face, and the tingling manifesting in the elbow wedged under the demon at the time.

"Do you now?" crolwey had grinned, face looseing that sauve, cool look he'd tried so hard to prefect. the smile on his face now more more goofy and shy, "Good thing that, then.'

"really?"

crowley hid his face in azirpahles curls, a soft chuckle, "I lov eyou too, you rediculas angel."

that been all - the night before. now, with crolwey breathing softly at his side, azirahle is acutly awae of the tingling still on his arm. almost an itch. when he'd rubbs at it, the fabic of his shirt had caught oddly.

he'd slipped away fromt he slumbering demon to make himself some tea, idaly unbottoning his sleave to see better. there, painted across hte soft veneable skin of his inner elbow, was a patch of warm tan scales.

it wasn't terribly big, concidering. the size of a large coin perhaps. he'd get a mathcing on on the other arm soon enough, rippling into existance when corlwey made an appreache later that day, and azirpahle greated him with, 'goodmorning, love.'

he felt them immediatly; as soon as the word left his lips. a tingle, skin feeling alittle raw, follwing into an itch an hour or so later.

he kept his face calm - never one of his better skills, but it managed to stay in place well enough becuase corlwey gave no sign he'd notcied something amise. and, to be fair, that was one of crolwey's beter skills.

but the message was clear; he'd been allowed to remain an angel, been allowed his firendhsip with crolwey. but even that had it's limits. he was allowed to cherish corlwey, was allowed to hold him dear.

but he was not allowed to love him.

/well/, he thought idally, later that night as he picked at the ptch stating on the back of his knee, it was small, only a couple of scales, but ther enone the less, /in for a penny, in for a pound/

the only concern on his mind was how long he could keep it form crowley. the demon had spent six htousand years helping azirpahle toee the party line nad keep from falling. this... this mihgt break him.
