Plus He Put Down The Boundary And Told Him To Change It Back - Tumblr Posts
YES ABSOLUTELY
Like it makes me think of how Crowley had said "We're a team- a group! Group of the two of us. And we've spent our entire existence pretending that we're not..." and was very correct.
BUT THESE MOMENTS
- When Aziraphale kind of casually is like "Our Car"
- When he says "- technically my bookshop...but we both get PLENTY of use out of it, don't we?"
- When Aziraphale hands off the responsibility of watching the bookshop- which his now been established as THEIR BOOKSHOP- over to Crowley
- Crowley making sure to sort the books and not sell a single one and actually watch over Jim
-PROBABLY MORE IM FORGETTING
In these very moments it's an unspoken establishment of them going from separate entities who "fraternize" to a proper pair. Aziraphale feels comfortable enough to change the physical characteristics and inner workings of the Bentley because it's not just Crowley's Bentley. It's THEIR BENTLEY. Crowley is comfortable enough to just toss around Aziraphales' books willy nilly because it's not just Aziraphales books to tidy up. It's THEIR books to tidy up (or maybe it's just a little mischief). AZIRAPHALE BONDS WITH THE BENTLEY AND THE BENTLEY WANTED TO FOLLOW HIM AROUND! CROWLEY GETS ALL SNUG ON AZIRAPHALES CHAIR WHEN TALKING TO MURIEL!! AZIRAPHALE CALLS CROWLEY WHEN HES BORED, OR TO TELL HIM HOS GOOD DEEDS, OR WHEN SOMETHING IS WROONNG! CROWLEY KNOWS HIS DIFFERENT TONES OF VOICE!
Obviously we know based on the timeline they both fell in love with each other AGES ago. But after Armegedidnt, they felt comfortable enough to be within each other's space. To take up each others time. To slowly and silently converge as one instead of doing the whole opposite sides shtick.
But that scene outside when they talk of the car and the bookshop, they're finally properly acknowledging it OUT LOUD! It's absolutely a huge step for them. An ASTRONOMICAL step for them!
Phew. My brains buzzing.
Crowley stops arguing with Aziraphale about driving the car when Aziraphale tells Crowley he’ll be taking care of the bookshop. He realizes it’s a big step for them.
