Crowley hasn't spent millennia watching Aziraphale like a starving man watches a bloody buffet to miss that distress. He waits for a half-second, watching the angel let go of his hand, wondering if he's going to say anything, but... clearly Crowley has to be the adult here.
He's grateful for the last few months of practice he's had being vulnerable and talking about his feelings, even if it's been in very small doses, and never as terrifying as this. Still, he asked Aziraphale to run away with him and that was one of the scariest things that he's ever done. Crowley can manage this. It's worth it.]
Aziraphale. [Careful, but firm, and he tucks his fingers gently under Aziraphale jaw to make him meet Crowley's gaze.] I want everything, alright? Everything you'd like to do, everything you'd like to give me, I want it. I know neither of our lot much go for any of this, the — the touching and all that business, so I'm telling you that I do. I want it. But it's alright if you don't, or if you're not sure yet, and I don't wanna presume everything's changed just 'cause some things have. The ball's in your court on this one, just talk to me. Ask me if you want me to stay.
