Brother
Crowley and Aziraphale were dinning at the Ritz when a man sat down next to the demon.
"We need to talk" said the mystery man
"What are you doing here?" asked Crowley
The man nodded behind them, Crowley looked over his shoulder to see a man standing there in a cardigan and slacks. The man waved at Crowley and smiled, Crowley looked back at the man in the tailored suit.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I wish I was brother"
"Brother?" questioned Aziraphale
"Long story" said the demon
The man in the cardigan and slacks came over and sat down at the table.
"Hello Raphael"
"DON'T call me that" exclaimed Crowley as he got up and left the restaurant.
Crowley walked across the road, to the park and sat on a bench.
"So you're..." said Aziraphale who sat down next to him
"In another life"
"And that was...?"
"God and Lucifer, my brother"
"You should talk to him"
"Excuse me? After everything Heaven has done to us, you want me to talk to him?"
"Just hear what he has to say, if you want to walk away then walk away"
Crowley looked over his shoulder to see God and Lucifer standing there. He sighed and looked back at his Angel.
"Why do I listen to you?"
"Because I'm right" he said getting up "Bookshop later?"
"Yeah"
Aziraphale walked away and God sat next to Crowley.
"I did not mean to upset you Raphael"
"My name is not Raphael...Not anymore"
"You will always be Raphael to me...My star creator"
"Don't...Just don't"
"You made such beautiful things son"
"I am not your son! Not anymore!"
Crowley got up to leave but God grabbed his shoulder.
"Wait...Please"
"Why?" replied the demon who turned around to face his father.
"I am dying and I want to make things right with my children"
"How can you be dying?"
"Everybody dies son, even me"
"If you want to make things right, do something about Gabriel, he's a prick and a nutcase"
"I am aware" he said with a sigh
"You knew...did you know what he was going to do to Aziraphale?"
"Yes"
Crowley punched god in the face "I hope you rot in hell!" Crowley walked away, he walked past lucifer who had a smile on his face.
Crowley walked in to the bookshop and screamed.
"What's wrong dear?" said a worried Aziraphale
"I punched him...I punched god"
"Oh my"
"He's dying" said the demon sitting down on the sofa in the back.
"Who will replace him?"
"I don't know?"
Suddenly the door opened and in came Lucifer.
"Oh goodness what now?"
"We are having a gathering in the park, you have been invited Crowley"
"A gathering?"
"Of Archangels"
"Won't we, you know, stick out?"
"We're angels Crowley"
"Fine"
The next day Crowley and Lucifer walked to the park to see what looked like a barbeque, with god at the grill.
"This will be a disaster" said Lucifer
"Oh yeah defiantly"
Lucifer and Crowley walked towards the angels.
"Who invited the fallen?" asked a Angel who looked like he had a stick up his arse.
"Ah Zadkiel, what a lovely surprise" said Lucifer sarcastically
"Zadkiel they were invited by me, both are still my children" said God walking up behind the archangel.
A shiver ran down Crowley's spine when god said that, he hadn't considered himself god's child since he fell.
"Raphael! You came!"
Azrael came walking over to Crowley and hugged him.
"Nice to see you too Azrael"
"Crowley"
"Gabriel"
"How is Aziraphale?"
Crowley was about to lunge for Gabriel when Lucifer stopped him.
"Now is not the time brother" he whispered into Crowley's ear
"Now is the time to celebrate!" exclaimed God
All the Angels erupted into cheers.
Crowley was sitting on a bench alone watching his siblings have fun.
"You seem lost son"
"They don't want me here"
"I do...When I said I want to make things right, I wanted to say I...I'm sorry"
"What?" Crowley looked at god he was being genuine
"I know what I did was unfair, I made you fall for the simplest act of asking questions and that is something I will always regret"
"I thought it was because you hated me"
"Never, you are my son and I...I love you. I always have and I am so proud of the man you've become"
Crowley had tears running down his cheeks, he took off his shades and wiped them away.
"Why do you hide them?"
"Because they are horrid"
"I believe you are the only one who thinks that, I think they are beautiful"
"Thanks...I'm sorry for punching you"
"I understand why, you care for the principality and he cares for you"
"We're friends, have been for millennia"
"When I am gone I wish you to restore your relationships with your brothers and sisters"
"I can't, they all hate me"
"No we don't"
Crowley looked up and saw Azrael, Raziel, Uriel and Zadkiel standing in front of him.
"Your not all bad" said Zadkiel
"Thanks I guess"
"I for one missed you Raphy" said Azrael who sat next to him and hugged him.
"I still hate that nickname" chuckled Crowley
"We all missed you brother" said Uriel
"I appreciate it...I have to go, I have someplace to be"
Crowley got up and started to walk away when God stopped him. Crowley turned around to face god.
"You are my son and I am so proud of you, you saved to world. You are what an Angel should be Raphael. I always knew you would make me proud"
"Thanks...Dad"
God hugged Crowley and he hugged his father back.
"And I love you too, never stopped"
God pulled away and put his hand on Raphael's cheek, they both smiled.
"Will I see you again before...?"
"I hope so son, but If not..."
"Bye dad" said Crowley with tears running down his cheeks.
"Do not cry for me son, I am not deserving of your tears"
"You are now...I forgive you, for everything"
"Thank you, you have no idea what that means to me"
"Perhaps Lucifer would like to hear this as well"
"Yes I suppose he would...Goodbye son"
"Goodbye dad"
They hugged and Crowley walked away, he knew that was the last time he would see his father, he just didn't want to accept it. He said everything he needed to and so did god, he also fulfilled his promise, he fixed his relationships with his siblings, all but one, Gabriel. He was thrown into heavens jail for basically being an arse. All was right with the world.
