   Summary

   “Are you an angel?” Simon blurts before immediately regretting it. It must think he’s stupid, asking something so obvious. 

   The angel pauses, caught off guard, before managing a sputtering response. “What? No. Of course not.” It insists, looking a little flustered. 

   Simon stares at it for a moment before he realizes. “Oh. Sorry.” He says. He’s not supposed to know that, it seems. That’s fine. He can keep a secret.

   OR,
   My take on the "Simon thinks he died and that Grace is an angel" trope, but with the twist that everything Grace does just convinces Simon more that he's right lmao
