Summary
It is incredibly unlikely that Crowley and Aziraphale would be listening to the radio tuned to the station that happens to play Hozier's "From Eden." But the Almighty works in mysterious ways. (Or maybe it was just an ordinary cock-up.)
Either way, Big Feelings ensue.

“So I—I felt just as broken as a demon as I had felt as an angel. Like I was so bad at being both that there was nothing in the universe I could be good at. Nowhere I’d really fit.
“And then they finally sent me to Earth to tempt the humans, and the first real conversation I had was with an angel. Y’know”—he fixed his gaze downward—“you were the first angel I’d seen since the Fall. Looking at you was like looking into my own past and—and seeing what I could have been.” He forced the last few words out before tears began to run down his face in earnest. “I’m so lucky it—it was you they sent,” he faltered, “and not s—some other angel.”
Aziraphale knitted his brow. “But—but you seemed so nonchalant when we met all those years ago.”
“Of course I didn’t show you all this, angel. I wanted you to like me.”
Aziraphale’s heart ached. He wondered how long Crowley had deemed himself unlikeable—and unloveable, he would venture.
