This swell of emotion in Aziraphale's chest, for the first time today, is a comforting kind, and that's no small relief in itself. A little balm over what's been scraped raw and left empty.
He lets out a breath. He makes himself not think about the tendril of anxiety already trying to creep back in-- don't look at me differently after this, don't think of me differently after this. ]
I can do tea. [ It's fine. He knows how to live in a body. He knows how to do behaviors. ] Lots of options if you'd like something, too. Of course.
[ Aziraphale doesn't even need to worry about how Crowley looks at him, because he can't bring himself to look Crowley in the face as he pulls away. He focuses on smoothing out the wrinkles he put into Crowley's jacket instead. The trick to life is that an angel can avoid almost anything if he really, really wants to. ]
