may i offer
that the first time they spend the night together, aziraphale wakes to find crowley making breakfast in an apron and glasses and nothing else, calling out “angel! you’re up! good, come and and try these crepes, love, i think i nailed ‘em” and aziraphale turns bright red and his wings just fling right out and knock over everything in the vicinity
