-----
Crowley had a thing with cats. They were obnoxious and loud and they shed all over his clothes. They jumped up on his lap and butted their heads in his face when he was in the middle of a conversation.
In fact, the only kind he even remotely liked were the black ones with green or yellow eyes, because most people thought they were evil and Crowley appreciated that in an animal.
This one was a white-and-gray tabby, with blue eyes. It was almost the size of his two fists.
Aziraphale cooed to it, which he could excuse because Aziraphale was an angel, after all, and they did inexplicable things all the time. No, what bothered him was that Aziraphale expected him to pet the darned thing. Cuddle it, while he was in his nice, clean, cat fur-free black clothes. And when it mewed at him, which it undoubtedly would, because every cat did that to him, Aziraphale would expect him to feed it, too. Probably by hand.
Aziraphale deposited the kitten in Crowley's lap. Crowley's hand rose practically of its own will to stroke down the tiny spine. The kitten mewed.
"...You're a bastard, Zira."
"I know," Aziraphale responded brightly. "But I also know that you can't resist a kitten."
"...Shut up and get the milk."
