yeah yeah girlcock this girlcock that, but are you sitting next to her on the couch when you dont want to fuck her? are you holding her in platonic comfort when shes sad? are you grabbing her by the wrist at the function so she doesnt get separated from the rest of the girls? are you helping her zip up her dress? is she invited to girls night?
“It’s a nice idea,” Crowley chirped, grinning a little wider and making the butterflies in Aziraphale’s stomach flutter a little harder. “Except for the part where, you know, monsters aren’t real.”
