*Warlock joins the hug*

group hug time!

That's a very reasonable approach, actually....can't make him feel any worse.

Please don’t

The difficulty of not biting anyone who gets within 10 feet of Aziraphale right now is immense…

*Warlock shakes his head, his hair swishing a little as he tries to find the right words*

You basically just lost your best friend, I have every reason to be looking after you.

*hug*

*He takes the hug wordlessly and shivers into the boy's hair. This might actually be his breaking point, as the tears begin to fall finally. What an unfair thing, to worry a child.*

*He hugs tighter when he feels the angel shiver and cry, then he gently rubs Aziraphale's back*

It's gonna be alright, Dad.  We can fix this.   *He says it very softly, as if he’s afraid the Angel will break*

*hug*

*heavy sigh*.

OK, how can I help?

ABIGAIL WHAT THE FUCKING HELL HAPPENED TO DAD

I DON'T KNOW, OKAY? THE BOOKSHOP BLEW UP, WE'RE WORKING ON IT!

*Warlock’s smile changes to one of simple happiness as he melts into the hug*. Thanks, Mom. I…Really, thank you for everything.

Ok, everyone please quit picking in Mom. He’s a very scary demon with the reputation to prove it.

We’ve been over this: I’m not your mother, she just paid me to take care of you because she’s…a busy woman.

*He nods and smiles. It’s not the teasing grin from earlier but more of an unsure smile like he’s thinking of doing something that might embarrass himself*

Ok. Just between you, me, and Dad.

We’ve been over this: I’m not your mother, she just paid me to take care of you because she’s…a busy woman.

I do consider you a parent, though. You were there for my life way more than my biological parents were. You made me feel important and wanted and loved.

We’ve been over this: I’m not your mother, she just paid me to take care of you because she’s…a busy woman.

Wait, so you do like being called Mom then?

We’ve been over this: I’m not your mother, she just paid me to take care of you because she’s…a busy woman.

*He thinks for many minute.* Ok. Simple solution is just to very aggressively tell anyone who questions my calling you Mom that it’s not your fault humans are like ducks.

We’ve been over this: I’m not your mother, she just paid me to take care of you because she’s…a busy woman.

In that case, why are you opposed to being called Mom?

Hey, you’re the one who taught me reject authority.

*He grins and shrugs*

Not really, no.

Sooo, does that mean I can call you Mom?

We’ve been over this: I’m not your mother, she just paid me to take care of you because she’s…a busy woman.

I…that wasn’t even the point. But I guess since we’re talking about it, you were more of a mother than she ever was.

oi warlock you should play warhammer

I mean it looks really cool, I’ll definitely check it out. ….

Wait.

Or were you you just taking a poke at my name?

At the sound of Crowley’s voice, Warlock’s eyes snap open and he jumps a little in surprise. The remote drops at the break in concentration. The boy nods at Crowley’s comment. “Sorry…” is all he manages to get out.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

He nods. “That sounds good.” He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, trying to think of something and bitting his lip when he finally settled on a memory. He takes another breath and holds his hand out, like he’s reaching for something, and tries to pull. He still has his eyes closed, but he can feel something coming.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

He stands and thinks for a moment, then nods, smiling back. That actually makes a lot of sense. But…“How do I figure out how to do it on purpose? I-I mean it’s always just… boom or bam without me thinking about it.”

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

He took a deep breath, thinking. Crowley had said it wasn’t a problem if he could learn control. “I guess just figure out how not to break stuff…and how to do stuff without being upset?”

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

The boy thinks for a minute. “It started after my eleventh birthday, so a little over 2 years ago…and no one else knows. I’ve been trying to work on it since it started, but I can’t seem to control it at all.” He bites his lip, but is now looking expectantly at Nanny, leaning into the touch. If anyone can help, it would be Crowley.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

”Things…move. Or float…or explode. Some lightbulbs in blew when I failed my history final…the study door slammed last time I tried talking to Father and he ignored me…weird stuff like that…I feel the stuff, I know it’s not just accidents……” he trailed off, feeling like he was explaining badly. His hair was floating a little now.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

He looked at Crowley, making eye contact now, looking desperate but also a bit surprised by his Nanny’s gentleness. “If I can keep myself calm, I’m fine…or just run away from whatever is bugging me…”

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

The boy sighed…of course Nanny was right, he’d never been able to keep anything from him. May as well get it over with. “I…after the last time I saw you, weird things started happening. Something would move or break…usually when I got upset about something or worried. Mother and Father don’t know about it. I-I have it under control! Well, sort of anyway…”. He kept looking down, waiting for Crowley’s reaction.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

He shakes his head, now refusing to look him in the eye. “I-it’s nothing, just practicing some stuff…” Warlock’s hair rustles a little as he tries to calm himself down.

This is going to take some real pushing.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

Before I get ahead of myself—

The reason Crowley & Aziraphale don’t know about Warlock’s telekinesis is because pre-Apocanope it was blocked, but when Adam named dog, whatever had locked it was broken.

Warlock makes a face at the mention of a haircut ( he likes his hair long, thank you very much) but knows better than to argue with Nanny.

He shrugs at the question. “School mostly…” And trying to teach himself control of his telekinesis, but he didn’t think Nanny knew about that.

*tackle hugs from behind then buries face in Crowley’s wings*

Wh—?! Oh, it’s you! Hello little lad.

He actually smiles at that, and fully relaxes. “I think we might. You had a Nanny too?”

Ahh, the fake child! Hello, Warlock. I'm your not-father.

Warlock looks warily at Lucifer, crossing his arms. “Hi… Can I ask what you’re doing here?”

He pauses

“And don’t you mean WRONG child? Not fake. It was an accident.”

Warlock nods, giggling a little, before letting go to come around front and hug Crowley the normal way.
