I will never ever as long as I live get over the sadness in Crowley's voice when he says "I understand. I think I understand a whole lot better than you do."
It's why I will never believe that Crowley walked away from this argument thinking that Aziraphale didn't love him or whatever. He knows exactly what's happening here, that Heaven did what they're best at and manipulated the fuck out of this whole situation and got their hooks back into Aziraphale. He knows.

Devotion
Max swore an oath of the crown a few sessions ago, becoming Raji's first knight and paladin. They are the only aasimar existing in Orios, a descendant of Valkron, who gives them their holy power, making Max not only a paladin of Valkron, but of Raji as well.

Oh. My. GOD!
LOOK AT THIS!
The manhole cover is melting and about to give way, so he knows he's running out of time, and what does he do?
HE LOOKS BACK TO SEE IF MARIO’S RUNNING FOR THE STAR, KNOWING HE'S ABOUT TO DIE!
AND THEN HE SEES
AND WE SEE
THAT'S the look of realizing the big brother he's always looked up to is trusting him the way he'd always dreamed of, but never dared to hope would ever happen.

I know that this has probably been said to death atp, but the most heartbreaking part of The Final Fifteen (™️) is that THEY WERE BOTH RIGHT.
All Crowley has ever wanted is to run away with his angel, whether it's to Alpha Centuries or just Aziraphale's bookshop. He was RIGHT to say that heaven and hell are toxic. He was RIGHT to say that they don't need them. He was RIGHT to say that he's better than that, that THEY'RE better than that. Crowley's a demon for a reason; he doesn't have faith in innate goodness, he knows that heaven and hell will break their promises. He's suffered SO FUCKING MUCH at the hands of both, and watched Aziraphale suffer for heaven's sake, and he's RIGHT to know that they deserve better.
But as much as he loves Crowley, Aziraphale could never give up on something without at least trying to fix it. There's no way that he could've just left, because that's not who he is and that's not the Angel Crowley loves. He believes SO DEEPLY in the good in the world, in the potential for change, so he could never pass up the opportunity to 'fix the system' - to make heaven a place where no one has to feel like he did again. Whether or not it works (and it will, in small, seemingly insignificant ways like the scriveners getting new offices, and the rules on who can go to earth loosening, and that little bit of rebounding kindness cycling around and around even the most toxic place), he had to try because THAT'S WHO HE IS. He's an angel in the best sense of the word, and he was RIGHT that he could make a difference. And, as much as we all hate to admit it, the metratron was RIGHT. Aziraphale will be a wonderful leader.
So I like to think that, once they get past the initial anger, despite the heartbreak they're both feeling, they understand each other.
And they're proud.
Aziraphale is proud of Crowley for acknowledging his worth and, in a smaller, guiltier way, for telling Hell exactly where to shove their job offer. He's proud of him for knowing that, even alone, he's better than that.
Crowley is proud of Aziraphale for still being the angel he fell in love with, and he's praying to someone other than God that Aziraphale is making the Metatron's life HELL (pun intended). He's proud of him for his kindness, and selflessness. He's proud of his determination to break the cycle.
