Rating: general
Length: 215 words
Summary: An angel, a devil, and a bottle of brandy...
Note: For swtalmnd, who asked for Crowley/Aziraphale, "spirit".
Crowley had brought a bottle of very fine brandy with him, ostensibly as a gift, but he had then proceeded to imbibe most of the bottle himself as they sat around Aziraphale's kitchen table and discussed philosophy and metaphysics and similar abstruse ideas.
"Haven't you ever wanted a body?" Crowley asked, pouring himself another tot.
"I have a body now. So have you," said Aziraphale, also pouring another glass, because otherwise he suspected he wouldn't get any more.
"You know what I mean. Have a body permanently, and when it dies, go straight up to heaven or down to hell, as the case might be. 'Into thy hands, oh Lord, I commend my spirit,' and all that."
Aziraphale shook his head. "It's always seemed like more trouble than it's worth. Messy. Besides, even if I didn't rather enjoy being an angel, I had no choice in the matter."
"True, true," allowed Crowley, blinking a bit owlishly. "There are definite advantages to an angelic nature."
"You take advantage of my angelic nature," muttered Aziraphale, picking up the brandy and looking mournfully at the quarter inch that remained.
"Tell you what. To make up for that," Crowley nodded at the bottle, "I'll let you take advantage of my angelic nature, and this distinctly non-angelic body, later tonight."
