Wouldn't be annoying, not if we're in this together, he thought. Not if we're friends. Best not to say, however. It sounded dangerously sentimental, and 4am phone-calls to a friend with a crush on you was not something one should make a habit of doing when one had a girlfriend.
And Anakin didn't need to deal with any of that anyway.
Memories, right... Wasn't that whole business with unearned feelings half the problem? Certainly there was a connection. What had been muddled by dread (it was kind of hard to let go of the whole murder aspect the first time) and attraction was this underlying feeling of togetherness. Of being tethered to each other, maybe even dangerously, excitingly so. And given the nature of Aziraphale's first memory, a sentiment of we can't tell anyone else, so we only have each other.
"I think we were, yes," he agreed warmly. "I won't say it was instantaneous affection, but it was there. Especially that second time. A bit scary, really, to have no context for any of it."
