Summary
The first time he picked up his telephone and didn't hear Joan or one of the other ladies greet him, he just rolled his eyes, assumed they were cross with him, and firmly asked for the shop he was trying to connect to into the receiver like normal. He even said please! And the thing about being a being of considerable occult power with a history of shaping parts of the universe is that, sometimes, the world bends to oblige you.
So, the only thing that surprised him about Fell answering the line in response to his demand for "an expert on ancient greek and roman preparations of oysters" was that they'd made long-distance calls considerably less bothersome at some point.
OR
Crowley is a big fan of technology but has zero idea how it works, which leads to him developing an unlikely friendship with a fussy bookseller who happens to be an expert on a miraculous number of subjects.

Summary
6,000-odd years is a long time to evolve a romantic relationship, but as a near-immortal being, Crowley had patience. True, they had lost momentum right around reaching the Speaking Looks and Meaningful Gestures stage, but at the time Crowley had been more or less content to let things idle.
Now, he was determined to shift things back into gear, and that gear was Explicitly Romantic Physical Expressions of Affection.

Summary
"It'll be great! I know allll the tricksss," he insisted. "I'll get you sorted. You'll be counting celestial sheep in no time. My gift to you, now that we're retired. Retirement's made for a lie-in."
While it would be a stretch to say that Aziraphale's good sense caught up with him in that moment, some amount of higher brain function kicked in and started frantically underlining possibilities.
OR
Crowley offers to teach Aziraphale how to sleep. Shenanigans and a whole heap of unaddressed anxieties ensue.

most human romantic relationships—starting with the very first—also eventually involve a far more carnal, far more frantic and breathless and sweatier comingling of bodies. This is where our ineffable partners are floundering.
OR
Our ace ineffables both want more physical (though not necessarily sexual) intimacy out of their romantic relationship. Of course, things would go a lot smoother if they were at all competent...
