I'm not sure what I expected when I requested this prompt, but it was nothing this awesome.
"Simon?"
"He's just a bit of a bastard in general."
I do not know why I laughed so much at that line. Possibly because everyone knows a Simon. And Crowley justified adultery so WELL.
"Why do you even care?" Crowley snapped, wincing at how the words came out. "Not that it - oh for - I don't care. I don't care about why you care. I don't know why I asked. You're a silly angel and you should go flutter off and leave me to be drunk and pissed off at you."
Aziraphale was quiet for a long moment before snorting with laughter, and Crowley felt most put out. Bloody angels. "Well, for one, it would be terribly boring without you," Aziraphale admitted. "And for another, I've seen what happens to demons when they burn in holy fire. Remember Ilkael?"
Crowley had to admit, he didn't.
"Tried sneaking up on Michael during the Fall?"
Oh, that Ilkael. Yeah, that had been - that had been really unpleasant. "That's what would happen, huh?"

This whole bit was wonderful.
