Crowley stood at the pond and watched the ducks.
“Here we go,” Aziraphale said form behind, Crowley could hear the childlike joy in Aziraphale’s voice, and he looked to the ground, trying to hide his own smile.
“Oh, indeed I am.” Aziraphale said, licking around the cone, where the ice cream threatened to drop to his fingers. “Who isn’t happy eating ice cream?” Crowley smirked and took the popsicle Aziraphale has brought him. Their fingers touched. Crowley left his hand there, just for a second, soaking in the feeling of the angel's skin on his. Sunbeams, it felt like. For a second he wondered if his own touch felt like hellfire to Aziraphale. He certainly did not hope so.
Quietly they stood by the little pond in Regents Park and ate their ice cream. It was a comfortable silence. Both their eyes laid on the ducks who swam in the pond pretty peacefully.
“Kraaah!” Gone was all the peace when a big swan landed amid the ducks. The smaller birds flew up, while quacking, as if to complain.
Crowley quickly turned around and saw a duck trying to get to Aziraphale’s ice cream cone. “Off, you silly goose!”
Crowley shifted his weight to one leg and smirked. “Actually, it’s a duck, Angel.”
“Oh, just- Get OFF.” Aziraphale waved with the arm, which wasn’t holding the cone. Then his tone turned panicked „No, wait! Come back, you badly behaved goo- duck!” But the duck had already landed on the water, only the cone left in its beak.
Crowley shoved his popsicle in Aziraphale’s hand, “Hold this!” Then he jumped into the water after the duck.
“Crowley, what are you-!” But the demon had ducked underwater and now appeared right in front of the duck, growling. The duck dropped the cone and right afterwards Crowley miracled himself next to Aziraphale.
“Thanks, Crowley.” Aziraphale shook his head, incredulously. “You know you could have used your miracle to get me some new ice cream.” Aziraphale looked miserably at his ice cream cone, half soaked through with pond water and one dark spot where his chocolate mint ice cream used to be.
Crowley shrugged, “This screamed for a very heroic rescue.”
Aziraphale giggled, "You lost your glasses by the way.“
