Summary
Don't be a coward of pain, Crowley would tell himself. It was what Satan scold him, one time Crowley got sloppy and took Aziraphale out to crêpes in Paris. Crowley was flogged and whipped as a consequence. Crowley could not bring himself close to Aziraphale again. Not even after the two of them stopped Armageddon.
Aziraphale may never see Crowley in that way, but Crowley understood. They raised Warlock. They stopped Armageddon. They retired from Heaven and Hell with their body-swapping ruse. And yet everything was just like before but petrified. Aziraphale did not want a cosmic bond. He wanted to go feed pigeons at the park and be bribed by cake at the Ritz. Aziraphale thought there was nothing else more to it, and frankly, Crowley should stop pushing. Eventually, Crowley would have to accept that he would always be just a hereditary enemy to Aziraphale. Crowley shouldn't be so gentle towards Aziraphale, either.
In a chance encounter, Crowley was taken by two servants of Hell. And so, Aziraphale must descend in order to find him.
