( that's right. there had been a bonded pair in the looking glass house who had been giving everyone an overview during that first day here. unfortunately, aziraphale hadn't exactly been in the right state of mind to give the proper attention to their explanations. he had picked up a decent amount from it, of course, but much of it felt like noise against the growing panic in his chest.
much like the panic he feels now. but, the hand against his back does help. quite a lot.
he lets out a soft sigh against crowley's neck. )
Mr. Ainsley? I suppose he wouldn't—
( —be against sharing his expertise.
that's what he had intended to say, but all he manages is a choked noise as pain rockets down his spine. all at once, he feels like he's being pulled apart and he immediately reaches for the only thing within reach: crowley.
his claw-like nails bite into him harshly, digging into the skin underneath crowley's clothes as he clutches at him like crowley is the only thing that could possibly keep him steady. his body is shifting again, tailbone elongating into a proper tail and aziraphale thinks he might scream.
he can't. he shouldn't. crowley is too close.
so he bites, sinking his sharp teeth into crowley's flesh. )
