Aziraphale was about to confess too before Metatron and his coffee came into the bookshop;
Okay, hear me out. In 2x02, when theyāre talking about āhow people fall in loveā, Crowley talks about sudden rainstorms,
which is an obvious reference to how he fell in love, about 6000 years earlier (poor demon thinks everyone falls in love the way he did)
Aziraphale doesnāt get it and answers āseems a bit unlikelyā. He didnāt connect the dots, he doesnāt think Crowley loves him that way. All he knows about falling in love is what he read in books. Of course he fell in love with Crowley too, but Iām pretty sure he did in ā41 when Crowley saved his books from a bomb, and thatās a bit hard to recreate, soā¦ balls.
Thatās his idea, you make two people dance together and they magically fall in love, which is so in-character I want to scream. Now letās get to 2x05. We know Aziraphale always tried to avoid organizing those meetings, but heās suddenly so excited about it he is WILLING TO GIVE AWAY HIS BOOKS. Why would he do something like that? Thereās no way itās actually to make Maggie and Nina fall in love. At that point, Muriel doesnāt even care anymore about it, they all know the truth about the miracle is about to be revealed, so thereās no point in being so persistent about Maggie and Ninaās relationship. Heās an angel; of course he cares about humans being happy, but I donāt think he cares so much about two semi-strangersā love life that heās willing to give away BOOKS for the off chance that the Jane Austen method will actually work on two humans he knows nothing about. So, my conclusion is, heās organizing that night for him and Crowley. They are the ones that he hopes realize theyāre deeply in love with each other, and that is something worth giving away books for. Which explains why heās so excited but also a bit scared when he asks Crowley to dance with him.
It explains why he ignores the fact that Crowley is trying to tell him that something important and dangerous is about to happen, just so they can have a little dance. It also explains this reaction when he sees Gabriel and Beelzebub being in love with each other
and the way he looks at Crowley while theyāre talking about them.
I mean, I know he always stares lovingly at him, but not like that, right? Thatās a face that screams āIām so going to tell you I love you when all this is overā.
