Prometheus

[theangelfell]

Aziraphale had heard a rumor, about a book. At a shop other than his, which was rather vexxing. So he made inquiries about the location, and appeared there the next day after putting out the "closed indefinitely" sign on his own shop. (The sign had two sides; the other said "open temporarily.")

He walked in, hearing a little bell chime, and looked around. "Hello?"

"Perhaps," said Aziraphale, with a little smile. "Yes, I think that's true. And do you have a soulmate?"

"I have my dove, Robin," Prometheus nodded. "I've known Goodfellow for a very long time, and our paths have crossed many times. At some point it became clear our timelines were woven together, and I am thankful for it."

Aziraphale's smile widened. "Oh, wonderful," he said. "It is a marvelous thing, love, isn't it. And all that comes with it."

"It is," Prometheus nodded. "I've been well, of late, so I've been able to enjoy it for a while. Though I do worry I'm due another turn," he confessed, tapping the side of his head.

"How long have you been with your partner?" he asked.

"Since the garden of eden," said Aziraphale. "Or about a year. Depending on how you count."

"I see," the titan nodded. "A very long time then. ...Or no time at all, I suppose."
