Chapter Text
It was a warm July afternoon, which is always surprising when in England, Muriel had just closed up A.Z. Fell and co for lunch. It was an odd store, it was a bookshop but it didn't sell book, instead it sold pre annotated poems, pre analysed GCSE and A level texts along with Shakespeare's plays in modern English. All of which were big hits amongst the younger Soho crowd. They were in the back of the store making a sandwich and a cup of tea when there was a knock on the door. "That's odd," they murmured under their breath before going to open the door. When they opened the door a tall boy, around 14 years old, with curly brown hair was stood their with no more then a duffle bag over his left shoulder. "Hello, do you know where Mr Aziriphale is?" he said. "He's not here and he won't be here for a long time, he's left for a promotion," they said beaming up at them. "What do you mean promotion, he'd never," he said taken aback. "You seem shocked. Would you like to come back for a cup of tea? I find that helps calm my nerves," they said standing to one side so he could come in. "Yeah, thanks, I'm Adam by the way. Adam young," he said walking in and going towards the back of the store. That name rang a bell for Muriel, but that would have to wait.
"So, let me get this straight, Gabriel, THE supreme archangel of heaven fell in love with Beelzebub, prince or duke or whatever doesn't matter, and they got him to stop a second Armageddon ,which got him sent down to earth and he wound up at Aziriphales door, so to hide him they casted a miracle that was so powerful alarms went off in heaven and to hide it they said it was to get the lesbians across the street together. Am I right so far?" said Adam young in disbelief while grasping a cup of tea. "So far yes," said Muriel making another cup of tea. "Then uh something happens like a battle to get Gabriel back, Beelzebub and Gabriel meet again they run of to alpha centuri, Aziriphale gets promoted by a talking head who's gods representative tells Crowley, he's pissed cause Aziriphale said something about them being bad guys. No nightingales, make up kiss, doesn't work, Aziriphale is up and off and crowley has just been driving around and you haven't seen him since," he said after taking a long sip from his mug. "Yeah, I believe humans say, you hit the nail on the head," said Muriel sitting down opposite him at the kitchen table. "I don't bloody believe it, I just can't bloody believe it, They've known each other for what 6000, 7000 years. And he just... I can't believe it," he said. "Well when you put it like that it sounds very unbelievable," they said taking a long sip from their mug. "Well we have one option, get them back together. You have contact with Aziriphale and I can find Crowley, Once we've done that we get them together in a room, force them to communicate bobs your uncle," he said getting up from the table. They nodded grabbing both mugs and taking them over to the sink.
"Can I stay here while we do the plan? I live in Lower tadfield and no one knows I'm gone," Adam said grabbing his bag. "Of course there's a room upstairs. Make yourself comfortable," said Muriel smiling
