Aziraphale can't promise he won't die. Just like Crowley can't promise he can save him. And when the angels start showing up, Aziraphale will be weak against them, the way that Crowley was against Hastur. They're stronger together, Crowley knows this, but he also knows that Aziraphale has a greater chance of escape right now. Right now, with the black mark across his chest and a discorporated Duke who probably thinks he won.
And here is Aziraphale, promising not to leave. Surely, Crowley can promise that, too. Promise that the moment they are in different rooms, he won't make himself disappear elsewhere. Promise that he'll stay, because they deserve to be together. Every scenario in his mind where he was fleeing, Aziraphale was always there. He doesn't want to do this alone, but more than that he doesn't want to be without Aziraphale.
There is just so much he wants to say right now.
He leans up, pressing his lips against Aziraphale's.
