Summary: Crowleyâs had a lot of feelings for his co-stars in the past, but none of him have made him feel like this.

Crowley sauntered into the studio with his usual style and stopped dead just as he crossed the soundstage threshold. Without looking away from the vision on the other side of the mocked-up room, Crowley reached out and snared a passing camera operator. âWho,â he demanded, quiet but fervent, âis that?â
âA. Z. Fell,â said Chalky, cooly plucking Crowleyâs hand off their jacket like a piece of trash. âGoes by the rather pretentious stage name Aziraphale.â
Crowley had heard of Aziraphale, of course. Had watched several of his films, quite avidly. But he looked different in person.
Everyone looks different in person, of course, but most people look more mundane away from the soft lights and filtered lenses and makeup. Aziraphale was the opposite. Heâd been gorgeous in the films, soft and sweet and tantalizingly innocent. In the flesh, he was ethereally beautiful, radiating a sense of peace. Of love.
Crowley had reacted to his fellow actors in many ways, ranging from pure indifference to raging lust. Heâd co-starred with one or two guys whoâd made him want to punch them in their insufferable faces. Heâd worked opposite a few whoâd made him want to take them apart in all the best ways.
Heâd never before looked at another porn star and wanted to swaddle them in blankets and bring them cups of hot cocoa.
âHuh.â Crowley slithered through the set and inserted himself into the conversation Aziraphale was having with the costumer, Sable. âHello there,â he purred, offering a hand. âI understand weâll be seeing a lot of each other.â He waggled his eyebrows ridiculously. It was best, heâd found, to break any ice early on.
âOh! Mr. Crowley,â Aziraphale said happily, seizing Crowleyâs hand in a warm, firm grip. âIâm so very delighted to meet you.â He looked looked Crowley over, head to toe, not bothering to disguise the appraisal. âYouâre rather taller than I expected, somehow. But even more devilishly handsome. Iâm sure weâll get on like a house afire.â
Was that a âhotâ joke? It wasnât actually possible for someone to be that sincere, was it? âItâs⌠itâs just Crowley,â he returned, a little lamely. âNo mister needed. Unless youâre into that sort of thing, of course.â There, that had returned him to his usual form.
âSpeaking of fires,â Sable interrupted, âletâs get you to wardrobe, Crowley.â
âYeah? And whatâs this weekâs thin veneer over the fucking, then?â
Aziraphaleâs face lit up, looking delighted. âIt will be ever so fun!â he enthused. âWeâre to be an angel and a demon!â He leaned in quite close, his lips brushing Crowleyâs ear, and whispered. âI canât wait for you to corrupt me.â
Crowley let Sable lead him away, toward the changing rooms, but he kept glancing back over his shoulder at Aziraphale, feeling half-stunned and wondering if, after filming was done for the day, his co-star would welcome an invitation to dinner.
