#whether or not the Metatron actually verbally threatened them is up for debate

the thing is their whole relationship they have been choosing death(or at least the act of losing everything they hold dear) - every time they meet up, do something for each other, the arrangement - just everything has that risk attached to it if they were ever caught
1941 scared the crap out of Aziraphale - they were moving too fast and getting sloppy with their precautions - Crowley could have been taken away from him because Hell had just a single piece of evidence - and he makes damn sure that this is not going to happen
fast forward to Armageddon and somehow Heaven now has this information about their relationship, not from physically going to Earth and finding them like the demons did, but from somewhere within Heaven.
But it wasn’t until the Metatron said something in season two that Aziraphale realized Heaven actually still had the physical evidence of their entire relationship since the beginning - everything - they were still relevant to care about and maybe still being watched
and the only way to get access to it is going back to Heaven - throwing himself back into the game of Life or Death - He is very much choosing to live any way he can because there is no hiding anymore and he is going to make sure it is safe whatever it may take - for Crowley, for them
and it just so happens that choosing this is what tears them apart
