Much like everything else, he sees it. He remembers that day, out in the garden, worried about so many other things. Conversing with his adversary, not entirely too worried about airs then, but everything else.
Back then, he didn't see it or hear it. But, back then, Crowley noticed him. He did. And Aziraphale's heart flutters.
He pulls back from the kiss to look at him, a gentle look of surprised, subdued by all the simultaneous emotions. Those times he's quiet and frozen, because it's all too much.
Oh, thank you, he said then, responding to a joke he didn't understand,taking in the comfort of someone who would spend centuries giving him the kind of understanding and patience he didn't realize he never had.
"--all the way back then?" Said softly, quietly, incredulously.
