“I’ll show you. You could’ve come with me. We could’ve been happy. This is your fault, Crowley. I’ll show you” I don't believe that part for a second. Azi knows Crowley would be miserable in heaven and the way he was acting previous to the kiss made me think he was trying to ward him off.
Hey let me break your heart over that lip touch just a little bit more
Because at first Aziraphale is clearly devastated that Crowley is gone. He brings up his trembling hands and touches his lips tenderly like how Crowley had kissed him. He’s trying to push that feeling of Crowley’s lips into his so he won’t forget. He didn’t pull away. Crowley did. He wanted that kiss to last as long as possible
But then we see his face harden, and he takes his hand away almost violently. He doesn’t just take it away, he wipes Crowley’s kiss off his lips
That look of anger on his face right after. “How dare you do this now, Crowley. How dare you come to me like this. How dare you do this to me.”
He has to have resolve, this has to work because he just gave up Crowley for it. And by god it has to be worth it. That anger on his face is saying “I’ll show you. You could’ve come with me. We could’ve been happy. This is your fault, Crowley. I’ll show you”
All the while Crowley waits for him and gives him every chance to turn around. He waits for him until the elevator leaves the ground. Only then does he drive off.
“It’s too late. It’s always too late”

I believe I have seen it all
questions in heaven led me to fall
no answers for me only wrath
who would believe?
fire and brimstone my hands and knees
burned into the demon you see
you've loved me both ways
my heart lept when you said
you without your sword
so generous to share, oh lord!
we think for ourselves
who could want anything more?
oh, angel I believe we know
you will be heaven's final blow

drunken demon
time is my enemy
I can no longer bear eternity
what was a dangerous path
in our not distant past
makes no more difference
unless you decide to come back
angel, if you were to ask
I only see you
at the bottom of my glass

So canonically Crowley doesn’t like changing into a snake because he’s afraid he’ll forget how to change back. I wondered for a long time where this kind of fear would even come from, I mean, it seems very specific? Why would he be able to change one way and then not the other? What would make him just forget? What would make him think it could happen? Like, is there something about being snake-shaped that makes him, well, not want to, but feel compelled to stay this way for just a little while longer?
I have no idea how it would work, but as for the why he’d think it’s a thing that could happen, well. In the show, the animals on the “demons’” heads are supposed to be the real demons riding on human puppets, right? I’m not sure if Crowley is unique in not being like that or if it’s just something some demons are and some aren’t (I’d have to watch the show again, more carefully), but regardless, this gives us another question - why isn’t he stuck like that?
And, again, I have no idea. But all of this gives us a few points:
1. Crowley is afraid of being stuck in a snake form. More importantly, for some reason, Crowley believes he could get stuck in a snake form.
2. Some, most, or all of the demons except for Crowley (and Satan?) are stuck in animal forms.
3. It seems unlikely that after the Fall they all just hit the ground (or boiling sulfur, as it may be) animal-shaped, and there Crowley was, being special for some ineffable reason, either in not being a snake at the moment or in being able to change shapes.
Based on this I headcanon that what happened is that none of the demons were stuck in animal forms from the beginning. I think at first they had whatever forms they had (perhaps they already walked around looking human, perhaps they had new forms, or perhaps they retained whatever forms they had in Heaven - seeing as angels and demons are supposed to be not all that different I don’t think the Fall had to change them all that much). Getting stuck in animal forms happened later, gradually, though I have no idea as to how or why.
And Crowley? If he watched it all happen to the other demons, one by one, it’d make sense he’d expect it to happen to him too at some point. If he also had no idea how and why it happened, it’d make sense that he’d be afraid to shapeshift into a snake at all.

Sex, Lies, and Videotape
Aziraphale: "Good Lord Crowley, it seems the tape we made together has gone missing!" The angel's cheeks are flushed and he has a look of panic on his face.
Crowley: "Well, where did you last leave it? Don't even tell me you never watch it." The demon folded his arms, not caring it was lost. They could always make another.
Aziraphale: "ME? I though you had it in the glove box in in Bentely!"
Crowley: "No place to watch it there, besides you don't work for Heaven and I don't work for Hell anymore. If they have seen it it can educate them." Crowley let out a stifled laugh. He could not help it, though the angel was distressed.
Aziraphale: There are parts of me I never intended for anyone to see but you, and it took 6 millennia to get there."
Crowley: Throwing back a gulp of wine, Crowley could not resist leaving the tape where it was easily found. Never an evil demon, but always a mischievous one.
Crowley: We could always make a new one, since the other is lost?

How are you Neil? Is everything okay?
Life is good if very quiet right now. I'm holed up in a hotel and writing Good Omens Season 3.

six thousand years under the sun
I had your back
you were ever my only one
a kiss that should have been bliss
you and I leaving all this
my heart thoroughly severed
when you told me "nothing lasts forever"
immortality runs through our veins
as well as endless emotions, overwhelming pain
I'd prefer if you'd plucked out my feathers
one at a time for good measure
for at least you'd be here
and I could watch in the mirror
how you'd torn me apart
my star no longer shines here

On the road to Season 3 - Day 20
It's a shame we don't get a better view of Crowley's expression when he smiles so fondly at Aziraphale's delight at being praised.

All the times Crowley calls Aziraphale "Angel" - Chronological order
Of course the first time he calls him "angel" it comes from Bildad the Shuhite.
It couldn't be more perfect.
Oh, the last one hurts.

not so long ago terms like "friends" "roommates" and such were used by another group of people, for fear of persecution.
I've seen a number of posts taking Aziraphale to task for hesitating over the word "friends" in 1941 and here's my take.
Neither of them names their relationship before 1941. It's always The Arrangement, and they deny anything else because Heaven and Hell are always listening/watching (many many great metas on their coded language elsewhere so I won't get into it here).
But then this happens in 1941:
"It would take a real miracle for my friend and I to survive it."
Crowley just SAYS it. (Code again, always, but said out loud.) Then the books. The touch. The "oh."
It's not JUST the books. It is that Crowley has NAMED them, named this. Admitted what they had to deny in 1601.
So not a half hour later Aziraphale says this. In public!
He takes the very next possible opportunity to communicate to Crowley - "I heard you. I understood you. I feel the same."
AND JUST TO BE SURE, he says it again, in private, with softness in his look and his voice.
Look at the way he glances away just before the word friends. He wants to use another word, but can't. So he will say it again, in code, but again so Crowley understands.
"I see you. I understood. I understand. I feel the same."
