Seventh Apple (in which we meet Aziracat and Lulziel --I mean, Laluziel. /blames Lemon)

[If Crowley remembered going to bed, he would be highly confused as to why there is an enormous fluffy white cat curled up next to him instead of a pudgy angel. As it is, Crowley doesn't remember being Crowley. He does, however, remember being Laluziel.

Laluziel likes cats. He scritches this one behind the ears.]

Hullo.

aziraphale, crowley

[Aziraphale does not know why he has woken up as a rather enormous cat.

This cat business distracts him momentarily from the significant lack of demonic presence next to him. And mm, ear-scritching.]

Er. Er?

[Laluziel kisses the cat on the top of its head. Cats! So adorable and fluffy! Really, what will God come up with next?]

Hullo. What's your name?

[Aziraphale blinks. He tries to resist the sudden urge to nuzzle against- er, this fellow. He might be Crowley? But he is remarkably not-Crowley.

He is going to pretend this is a dream and that this not-Crowley in his bed apparently does not recognize him, cat-shaped or no.]

Aziraphale.

[Laluziel tilts his head. The cat is talking! How odd. Perhaps, he is a demon. That would be rather bad as the cat seems quite sweet and Laluziel would have to smite it.]

Do you know, I know an angel with that name!

[Aziraphale thinks he understands what is going on here. He hopes he is wrong because he's very used to not-this. And for some reason, he is unable to change form and be comfortably human-shaped again. Oh, dear.]

Do you?

[Laluziel cuddles the cat, stroking it. How delightful! He has always wanted a pet, and cats are such sweethearts. Mm. Its paws smell so lovely. Like freshly cut grass. He smiles at it and waves its paw around a bit before kissing it on the nose.]

I do. I don't think he likes me very much, though. But you like me, don't you?

[Aziraphale cannot help but enjoy the affection. He does, however, feel a tremendous wave of guilt at that particular comment. He remembers how he used to act in Heaven. He is very Against perpetuating this facade of being a cat and very much not himself, but. The face.

He cannot bring himself to upset Laluziel.]

Oh, yes. [He nuzzles more affectionately for effect.]

Of course I do.

I know.

[He holds the cat close. What is he doing in bed? He doesn't sleep. People sleep; angels don't. It's a bit silly. Wait- wait, where is he? This isn't Heaven or at least it doesn't look like Heaven. Is this His great creation? Laluziel is exciting about that.]

Do you live here?

[Aziraphale considers. Well, only so much lying can he handle.]

Er, yes.

Then, why are there clothes in here?

[Laluziel is confused. It is beginning to sound more and more like his kitty friend isn't exactly telling the truth. Oh dear.]

Have you got an owner?

["If you would pick up after yourself once in a while, there wouldn't be clothes all over the place!" is something Aziraphale decides is best not to say.]

Yes. Not exactly an owner. Er.

[He pauses. This is what a cat looks like when thinking.]

You wouldn't like him.

[Laluziel hopes they aren't having some sort of a fight. He wouldn't like that, wouldn't like it at all. He scritches the cat behind the ears again.]

Oh. Well, that's too bad. I like most people, but-

[He bites his lip.]

[Aziraphale hopes the second wave of feeling utterly terrible for Laluziel does not show on his kitty-face. He nuzzles comfortingly. There really isn't anything to say and besides, he is a cute fuzzy cat. They cheer people up, right?]

[Mm. Laluziel quite likes this cat. It doesn't remind him of the Aziraphale he knows at all, which is funny because names are important, you know. Aziracat isn't arrogant or brusque or short with him. Besides, Aziracat is rather fat, which is something that Aziraphale the angel definitely isn't. He makes sure that the cat has its head on the pillow.]

Are you hungry?

[If Aziraphale were privy to Laluziel's thoughts, they would probably break his heart.]

A tad, I suppose.

[Laluziel would be sad about that, too. He rubs the cat on the head.]

Let's get you something, then.

[He stands up, scooping the cat up in his arms. Oof. It's heavy.]

Come on. Do you fancy some fish?
