"What do you mean, dear?"
"I always thought you had hated my eyes. That they would only reminded you of what I am. That's why I had always tried to make them as human as possible..." Crowley sniffed. "No, Crowley. I love your eyes. They remind me of you, they are so uniquely yours. They remind me of the being I fell in love with all those millennia ago." Aziraphale held his hand on Crowley's head, rubbing his back with the other. Crowley was silent, a sniff or hic every so often. "I love you.... so much." Crowley spoke into his Angel's chest. "I love you too, Crow." And just like that, Crowley was asleep. Aziraphale following shortly afterwards.

Muriel finished the book they picked up on their way to the back, looking out to the lobby and seeing the two were gone. Hm. Must've gone upstairs. They walked out, spotting the forgotten coco. Ew. They picked the mugs up, bringing them to the sink and putting some water in them. How do I do this? They decided to just miracle them clean. That'll do! They left to go chat with their newly found friends across the street- Nina and Maggie.

A couple hours had passed when Crowley woke up, he grabbed his phone, opening it and finding the selfie Muriel had taken. He smiled at the picture as he set his phone back down, kissing Aziraphale on the forehead. "Hey, Angel, you awake?" Aziraphale laid still. "If I wake up does that mean you stop kissing me?"
"I'll only kiss you more if you do."
Aziraphale opened his eyes, smiling at Crowley before grabbing his cheeks and looking into his eyes. Aziraphale teared up, "Crow... your eyes- they're completely golden! Just as they were in-"
"Eden." Crowley cut him off. Aziraphale kissed him, he wanted more, but he knew Crowley was right, that he needed to heal first. "You want some breakfast?"
"Do you count? You taste better than any breakfast I could imagine."
"Very cute, Angel, but we don't know how your corporation works anymore. I think we should treat your healing process like that of a human body." Crowley smiled. "And the first step for today is a good breakfast." He helped the angel out of bed, hugging him and kissing his cheek. "Whatever you want, dear."

The two of them made their way to Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death. They knew it was an hour before opening, but Nina had invited Crowley to come over for breakfast before opening whenever he didn't feel like making himself presentable to the general public. Crowley knocked, surprised to see Muriel open the door. "Oh- I didn't know you were-" Muriel was staring at their hands, interlinked. "Are you two-" Aziraphale nodded, his cheeks pink and the goofiest smile on his face. Maggie was shaking Nina behind Muriel, practically jumping for joy. "Can we get my Angel some breakfast?"
"Absolutely." Nina walked to the back to prepare some food as Muriel led the couple to a table in the middle of the cafe. Maggie was so unbelievably happy for them.
