Aziraphale has never much cared for apples.


Crowley, of course, likes them well enough, and if Aziraphale has yet to see him eat one, he
knows better than to imagine a connection to anything which happened thousands of years
ago—certainly not anything involving a tomato. 


“Don’t see why you always spend so much time on produce,” says Crowley mildly, handing
him an innocent piece of fruit. “We both know what it is you want.”


Aziraphale looks down at the apple, savouring the moment. 


Time has not been kind to them; it’s only fair that they should take something back.

Heh. *Imagines Aziraphale making a grudging beeline for the biscuit tins.*

Actually, the apple is exactly what he came for, but now that you mention it, yours is a much more logical interpretation. So much for conveying a message in 100 words!

Still, I'm happy you liked it - thanks for taking the time to review.

Nice drabble. I liked how Aziraphale was kind of waiting for Crowley to pick out the apple.

Wonderful! The closing line is particularly nice -- it fits in with the whole "gone native" bag quite well.

They should take something back. Well, take each other back, that is. Er. Anyway, nice drabble. Loved the symbolism. ^__^;
