Gabriel does not know what Beelzebub’s favorite song is. he literally does not even know a secondsong. he heard them say “I like this one” and was like “ok this is the only song forever now bb” he really is THE himbo of all time
You know how aziraphale can sense love? How he has to stop for a moment in the nunnery in s1, how he grabs on to crowley when Gabriel and Beelzebub reunite? The way he smiles when he sees nina and Maggie dance?
Imagine how shocking the kiss would be, to feel all this love directed at -him-. With no one to grab on to except for crowley. Could he feel it fade away as he left crowley?
I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud

no but y’all don’t get it crowley and aziraphale are literally the queer dichotomy of assimilation vs resistance
aziraphale doesn’t like being an outcast from heaven, he doesn’t like the powers above him and knows heaven is broken but believes it to be a case of poor management, instead of being the nature of heaven itself, he believes he can change it from the inside, he wants to be holy and good and believes that doing heaven’s work is the way to do that, he wants to carve out a spot within the system for himself and crowley and fundamentally doesn’t understand that crowley does not want or believe in quietly abiding to the rules of oppressors
crowley, a demon working for neither hell nor heaven but for himself and what he sees fit, actively chooses to be an outcast, unpalatable to any power that be, he embraces it and revels in it, especially when he’s being an outcast *alone together with aziraphale* two celestial beings not built to fit into boxes or follow orders, an absolute refusal to stand down or change one’s self as to not aggravate the system, aziraphale fundamentally believes assimilation into heaven to be the ideal outcome failing to take into account the sheer insult that notion is to someone who embraces their offputting and queer nature.
crowley has long liberated himself from the notion of belonging to any system, made easier by his critical nature and literal plunge into hell, aziraphale “on the side of good and light” is so so well intentioned but has not been forced to examine his fundamental beliefs and where they come from, he still believes heaven is better than hell he still believes he’s better than a demon, he still believes in heaven. Crowley however is entirely disillusioned with those ideals and is absolutely dumbstruck that the one person he thought held similar ideals on authority, his fellow outcast, immediately buys back into the system the moment it isn’t actively hostile to him
God, the fact that when Crowley said “You can’t leave this bookshop” he really meant “You can’t leave me.” And so when Aziraphale, who didn’t understand that was what he meant, replied with “Nothing lasts forever.” All Crowley heard was “We were never going to last forever.” Even though that was NOT what Aziraphale meant. Those two real are the gold medalists of miscommunication.
