and now for something stupid

“Come on, angel!”

“No, Crowley! Absolutely not.”

“You’re being unreasonable.”

“You’rethe one who’s being unreasonable!”

“Youare! You’re thwarting me. We’re on our own side now. You don’t need to do that anymore.”

“Thwart! I’m not thwarting you! If I’m thwarting you, you’ll bloody well know it.”

“Are.”

“Are not.”

“Crowley.Lions do not eat peanuts! And there are signs,” Aziraphale gestured broadly, “posted all about forbidding people from feeding the animals.”

Crowleywas not pouting. “Well where’s the fun in that.”

“Oh.” Aziraphale gave Crowley a fond look and cupped the demon’s face in his hands. “The poor demon. Are you lacking enrichment, dear? Do I not take you out enough, too busy with my studies?”

“Am a bit neglected.”

Aziraphale clucked his tongue. “Poor thing. Shall I make it up to you then?”

Crowley brightened. “You’ll let me feed the lions?”

“Of course not. I’ll let you feed an angel though.”

Crowley wrinkled his nose. “You want the peanuts?”

“No, Crowley,” Aziraphale said with exasperation. “But there’s a new café that opened up round the corner from the shop that I hear has a sinfully decadent cheesecake.”

“Sinful, you say?”

“Mmm. You can have an espresso and watch me eat it.”

“Right! Off we go then.” Crowley snapped his fingers, and the spot in front of the lion enclosure at the zoo was suddenly empty, peanuts scattered across the ground.
