#how doesn't aziraphale know about these you may ask?? uhhh *runs away*

[p4nishers]

hc that every time (which was a lot. like a Lot) crowley missed aziraphale through the centuries but couldn't seek him out cause there wasn't really reason for him to he would just go to any event or place (like aziraphale's fav museum or play) he knew azi would be there at and just like stare at him from across the room. oh everyone's watching shakespeare's new play? crowley is right there at the very back (aziraphale is in the first row of course) doing nothing but staring a hole on aziraphale's head then walking out few minutes before the play ends so he wouldn't be seen. a new restaurant with aziraphale's favorite foods just opened? crowley is right there, hiding behind a piano and silently pining over the angel who's absolutely beaming and spreading love by just existence in a room with all his joy. a book signing by victor hugo or smth? crowley is behind a magazine watching the joy on aziraphale's face as he gets to shake the writers hand. crowley is dangerously close to melting to the floor. and this goes on and on until crowley is basically in every single place aziraphale is when he's not doing evil shit. just lurking lurkily. aziraphale never notices any of it.
