Wow, what an awesome story! I really loved the mental image of Adam and Death eating popcorn and watching Crowley and Aziraphale like a movie.
"Look, Aziraphale. You had your chance and you didn't want me. End of story. You get no more say in my behaviour."
Aziraphale looked hurt. "I never said…" He broke off and stared at the floor. "No. This is wrong. I have to go." Standing, he started walking toward the door, intending to leave, but there was suddenly a demon in his path.
"You never said what?" he asked, yellow eyes flashing. "Never said you didn't want me?"
Love love love this scene. The hesitation, and hurt, but also the momentum like you know it will all resolve itself. Just lovely.
