What can he say, indeed. Although he clearly doesn't need to say too much about it, because he's getting no complaints from the angel.
Maybe it's selfish of him, but Aziraphale has always been good at taking what the demon offered. Little gestures, or some of bigger meaning - that moment in the war, oh, that moment stuck with him and downright terrified him at times -, moments, glances, encouragement, understanding. He doesn't believe he was always that deserving of that level of appreciation and dedication, quite the contrary, but he appreciated it all the same.
And he sure is appreciating this, by how vibrant and muddled - a contradiction, to be sure, but he's made of them - his shared feelings and his thoughts begin to get.
how do I type this while threading that 'ok this is smut but thats not what it means here BUT'
