[More than a minute is acknowledged with a quiet hum; saying more than that puts him at risk of having to admit for a second time that he wants Aziraphale to stick around, and having to say that out loud once was more than enough.
The important part is that Aziraphale is staying, and that he didn't stiffen up when Crowley touched up, which he'll take as a net win and something like permission to stay where he is. It's not, actually, the most comfortable spot in the world, since he has to lean at a slightly awkward angle, but it's more than worth the crick he'll likely have in his neck later.
That's a problem for Crowley in the future. Crowley right now is just — trying to relax and not feel like shit. Easier said than done, but Aziraphale being warm and soft next to him is exceedingly helpful.]
I know it's easier said than done, but try not t'feel too guilty.
[Saying it out loud might not help, but maybe it will, just for Aziraphale to hear it.]
