This has been said to death but not only was this reaction completely unwarranted from Aziraphales response, but Crowley was so unnecessarily close to him
He pressed his entire body against Aziraphale and STAYED LIKE THAT, he didn't just push him to the wall, he PINNED him
And Aziraphale didn't even attempt to struggle or push Crowley away, even when he was distracted
So there’s only one logical explanation for this
They were both into it and everything about this interaction was intentional
1941
Do you think they might be just a little scared of losing each other?

I've been thinking about Aziraphale's sleep patterns or the lack of it
From what I gathered, it's a fanon consensus that Aziraphale straight up just doesn't sleep and I agree. The bed in the flat over the bookshop has never seen even a wink of Aziraphale unless he entered the room to deposit more books there
HOWEVER
I like to think he snoozes in the armchair in the bookshop. Like, he's reading, and he leans back a bit. He's so relaxed that he lets his head fall back and his eyes close, just to rest.
He doesn't sleep, no. He is still alert and paying attention to his surroundings but he is on that state between awake and asleep that's low-key kinda uncomfortable but that's the closest he ever came to be voluntarily unconcious so he doesn't know better and somehow kinda likes it
Crowley has never caught him like that cause as soon as the bell jingles over the door, Aziraphale springs back to motion
The first time he witnesses it is in the cottage. Crowley gets spooked and thinks Aziraphale passed out, running to him all alarmed, but even before he gets near, Aziraphale opens his eyes and looks up at him.
"Everything alright, dear?"
"You-! You were-! Ngk!" He takes a step closer, leaning over the angel. "Since when do you sleep?! I've never seen you sleep! Not in 6000 years!"
"Oh I wasn't asleep. I was just resting my eyes." He smiles, closing the book that was resting on his chest. "It's relaxing. I used to do it all the time back in the bookshop." Crowley deflates, sitting on the sofa near the armchair. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. 'M fine. Just...thought you passed out or something." He runs a hand through his hair before looking back at the angel. "How have I never seen you like this?"
"You've never lived with me before." Crowley rolls his eyes and playfully slaps Aziraphale's arm, the angel chuckles in return. "I would open my eyes as soon as I heard the Bentley outside or felt your presence before you entered the bookshop."
"Myeah, makes sense. Just could have given me a heads up."
"I'm sorry, dear boy. I'll make you a list of all my peculiarities just so you're not caught by surprise next time."
"You're ridiculous."

Moving in together has its challenges (don't worry, the books are fine. Crowley isn't a bastard)
When the lady who sells you coffee mentions a naked man at your bookshop and now your husband thinks you're stepping out on him:
dear maggots i know for a FACT that it is past midnight for a lot of you fuckers, I've been going through my notifs and even I got sleepy enough that i'm taking a break and I'm going to nap and it's 3 in the afternoon where I am. if im sleeping im going to yell at you all to sleep too, because sometimes the crazy adopted child must take care of his internet family.
IF IT'S PAST 11 PM WHERE YOU LIVE CLOSE TUMBLR AND GO TO SLEEP YOU BEAUTIFUL IDIOTS I KNOW HOW SLEEP DEPRIVED YOU ARE. NOPE SHUSH-SHUSH-SHUSH NO EXCUSES GOODNIGHT. IF YOU HAVE INSOMNIA GO CUDDLE WITH A PILLOW OR SOMETHING GET OFF THE INTERNET IT'S GOODNIGHT BYEBYE TIME, AS I TELL MY DOGGY SISTER. Here's a photo of her sleeping. Are you inspired? GOOD. GO TO SLEEP. DREAM OF FLUFFY CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE THINGS. NIGHT NIGHT.
