[Crowley's awe is matched by the serenity in Aziraphale's voice, his expression one of pure joy. Aziraphale may not have protested as vocally about the control Heaven had over them, but in his heart, he had longed for the opportunity to simply be with Crowley without putting either of them in jeopardy.
When Crowley admits to a bit of nerves, he gives him another kiss and strokes his side reassuringly.]
It is strange that I'm not? We've spent nearly every day together since the Apocalypse was averted, and all it's done is make me love you more. Sharing a home will only add to that, I'm sure of it.
[ Crowley gives a soft chuckle. No, he thinks, it's not entirely strange. It always strikes him how, in so many regards, they're very similar, and Aziraphale wanting to be the one to dive in head first while Crowley is still wrapping his head around things only highlights that.
And there is nothing that quite reassures his many anxieties like Aziraphale's kiss and touch. Crowley visibly relaxes, exhaling his tension into the crook of Aziraphale's neck. ]
You're right - known each other for six thousand years - if we haven't driven each other up the wall yet, I don't think it's going to happen.
[Aziraphale laughs quietly, placing his hand on the crown of Crowley's head and gently scratching at his scalp, mindful of his braid.]
As I told you that first night we were together, I'm all caught up to you now. I can't imagine anything changing that.
[The angel may need some time (like, say, over a century) to come around on an idea, but once he puts his mind to something, he really does give it his all.]
But it's all right to be a little nervous, too. It takes time to settle into new routines.
