[Good Omens] A Few Things to Say About My Father and Dad

Written during Season One ( )

Plot One:

Crowley pointed at the child still watching the balloon blow away in the wind. The kid was crying and calling for his mother, tears and snot all over his face. I nodded obediently.

"I see."

"Look how happy he is."

"...Father, Dad told me that being happy means smiling, not... this."

"Oh, " Crowley thought for a moment. "Humans are complicated, Via. They often use crying to hide their laughter, and vice versa."

I lowered my head and thought for a while, too. "But Father, do you cry happily when you're with Dad?"

"No... What? Wait, when has Aziraphale ever cried?"

"Last week. I got up for a drink of water at night. I heard you in your room..."

"Oh shit!" He stood up and muttered a curse, cutting me off. Then he looked at me, then at the child, then back at me, then at the balloon.

"All right, sweetheart, listen to me." He somehow found a balloon and began winding its string around his hand.

I wasn't particularly interested in listening to Crowley. The last time he called me "sweetheart," he stuffed a chocolate modeling compound into my mouth.

"Your dad and I, um... the angel was just thinking of something sad."

"What?"

"We were both just homesick."

"..."

Father, do you really think I'd believe that?
