over the years, there has always been a steady line between the two of them. a proper divide for individuals who were supposed to be divided. an unfortunate, but necessary thing. requirements for their safety, for their continued ability to exist, and for their own sake. still, gradually that line has been steadily chipped away at. like the waves of the ocean eroding the rock and earth, slowly shaping it into something new.
an arrangement. 'their side'. an anxious clasp of their hands on a bus.
it's felt like something of a rapid freefall since, a frequent testing of each other's boundaries. pushing, pushing, pushing for just a little more.
this one, this push, knocks something loose.
cool, elegant fingers wrap around his, tugging their joined hands across the bedsheet. it's a mirror of what aziraphale had done earlier, an echo of the warm affection he feels for the other. that they feel for each other. it's almost dizzying.
aziraphale smiles, bright and warm. )
I suppose that's a "yes".
( he answers for him, words tightly wrapped in love. his expression seems to brighten further, almost radiant. )
