I'll always pick Angel Neil, but if it isn't behaving go with anything else you'd like. Take care of yourself <3

WIP Wednesday (8/21) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 226)

“The other night, when you were talking about... Nathan. You started coming up with funny names for other criminals. And you were right. A lot of them have stupid monikers like that. Like…” Neil sticks his tongue out for a moment, clearly thinking. “Off the top of my head, Sherry Whittaker— fake name, most likely— she’s the Dentist. Wanna guess where she lives?”

“Not particularly.”

“Denver.”

Andrew blinks. “Seriously?”

“Mhmm. And I know what you’re thinking: that doesn’t seem too scary. Wrong. Queen of torture, that one. She was my mom’s go-to for information. Pulls people’s teeth right out of their heads until they tell her what she wants to know. Starts with the front ones and works her way back.” Neil places both index fingers over his lips before sliding them towards his ears, to the back of his jaw. Andrew’d like to trace that path with his tongue. 

With a start, he remembers the conversation. “Unpleasant.”

“Severely.”

“They should call her the tooth fairy,” Andrew says, recalling how that fable used to freak him the fuck out. Of course, growing up in foster homes, he was never visited by the horrid creature. But his classmates used to get excited about it, coming to school talking about finding a few bucks under their pillows. Andrew didn’t like the idea of someone coming into his bedroom like that. (Still doesn’t.)

“Catchy,” Neil says with an appreciative nod. “But, no alliteration. They love their alliteration. Makes them easy to remember, I guess.”

Andrew allows a snort and realizes that the rain has stopped, for real this time. Even outside of Neil’s little insulated bubble around them. Everything is wet still, drenched really. But Andrew's not and Neil isn't. The angel smiles at him warmly, then he sits back and looks up at the sky. Andrew joins him in watching the sun finally start to peak through the clouds.
