ACTION • (852) GOLDBERG STREET.

[ You might notice, if you were to walk around the street, an angel asleep in the sunshine. He's gotten better at the whole 'sleeping for energy' thing, but it's warm and bright outside and he's settled down to enjoy himself. The only thing is that he's not exactly asleep outside his own home - rather, he's outside Crowley's. He really only spends one night every now and then in his own house these days, just so he doesn't upset the balance and get himself killed. Besides, the tree by Crowley's house is much nicer - the demon was probably scaring it in to it's brilliant growth. ]

PHONE • (OPEN, HOURS LATER)

[ Aziraphale still sounds a little tired and worn down, but at least he's trying to be social! He's just not very good at this sort of thing. ]

I don't suppose anyone could tell me what they do for... Fun here? For pleasure, I mean. I'm rather fond of reading myself, but the library here is somewhat lacking - I've found myself a little at a loss, now, you see.

I have some books from home I'm willing to lend, and I know some other people do too. The library is useless unless you're looking for things about car mechanics or golf, sadly.

[mydear]

That sounds wonderful, thank you so much. I'm afraid I've perused the library and come to the same conclusion, and it's rather unsettling.

phone

[perfectsymmetry]

Sure. Considering how long I've been here, I know how having a lack of things to read can be a terrible thing.

phone

[mydear]

It is quite awful. I've never found myself disliking a library, but...

phone

[perfectsymmetry]

Same here. And not that it doesn't have its uses. Learning to repair a car is handy... A-And I've gotten some female friends to check out some cooking books for me.

[mydear]

I suppose it can still be used to educate oneself on things that are unfamiliar, that's true.

[perfectsymmetry]

Well, if you'd ever like to borrow some books, my name's Crowe, and I live at 1247 Williams. So long as you treat them well, I don't mind lending them out. Ah, also, I hope you like classic fiction.

phone

[mydear]

I will take you up on that offer - and you can be assured that I would never do anything to harm a book. I used to own a rare book store, before I came here.

[perfectsymmetry]

Ah, really? That must be a great job. [/nerding out all over]

Action

[eyesofaserpent]

[Crowley pulls into the garage in the Bentley. As he gets out and swings around to the front door, he spots the sleeping angel. He can't help the smirk on his face as he strides over and crouches next to him. He reaches behind him and plucks a feather from his wing. He then uses it to brush against the angel's face and neck.]

[mydear]

[ Aziraphale twitches as the feather brushes across his skin, eyes flickering a little as he pulls away. Eventually, he awakes with a snorted laugh, twisting a little. ]

What...?

[eyesofaserpent]

[He continues to brush the feather on his face.]

Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.

[mydear]

[ The angel shakes his head and reaches up to touch Crowley's hand, stopping the movement as he smiles. ]

Good morning. I hadn't realised I'd fallen asleep.

[eyesofaserpent]

Well, you did.

[He looks around to see if they are alone before leaning in for a sweet little kiss.]

[mydear]

[ He smiles softly, tilting his head up and leaning into the kiss. ]

Thank you for waking me.

[eyesofaserpent]

I couldn't help it. You're too peaceful dozing under my tree.

Have you ever thought about taking up cheerleading?! It's super fun, promotes good spelling and as an added bonus, you totally look good while you do it!

phone

[mydear]

... Cheerleading?

phone

[cutesy]

Yeah! Like, you know! Pom-poms, and backflips and spelling words out and making everyone feel good! It's a great hobby to take up!

phone

[mydear]

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, my dear.

[cutesy]

You don't know what cheerleading is?! How could high school ever be the best four years of your life if you don't know what cheerleading is?! [ She sounds very very offended. ]

What happened to our wondrous plans for inappropriate literature distribution?

phone

[mydear]

I was hoping that was still in the works.

phone

[werewolfoflondon]

I've been trying, though I'm sensing that I lack the necessary literary prowess to create an engaging story. Pads says I have no imagination. Perhaps he's right.
