Yes, Aziraphale and Crowley finally kiss at the very end of Good Omens Season 2, in a desperate, long-awaited moment where Crowley tries to convince Aziraphale to stay with him by professing his love, leading to a heartbreaking but pivotal kiss before Aziraphale ultimately leaves for Heaven.
But the long road to that kiss did not take the angel and demon to the same place. Although Crowley and Aziraphale did kiss, they didn't exactly get together at the end of Good Omens season two… at least not yet.
Yes, actors generally do kiss for real in kissing scenes, as it's part of the job, but directors use camera tricks (angles, distance) or choreography to create the illusion when needed, especially for more intense intimacy or to hide lack of genuine lip contact, with actors often using breath mints and establishing boundaries beforehand. Real kisses add authenticity, but techniques like angling heads away, focusing on the chin/cheek area, or using stunt doubles can create the effect without full lip contact, all managed with consent and coordination.

The most prominent actor known for refusing on-screen kisses is Neal McDonough, who honors his wife by having a "no kissing" clause in his contracts, leading to him being blacklisted from Hollywood for a time but later working in projects like Yellowstone and Tulsa King, sometimes even kissing his actual wife on screen. Other actors, like Kirk Cameron, Fawad Khan, and some Bollywood stars, have also refused kisses for religious or personal reasons, while some actresses like Tisha Campbell refused due to workplace issues.

Intimacy coordinators/choreographers for film and TV have a lot of tricks to make it look like spicy stuff is happening when usually the actors are wearing padding so they can't actually feel each other or sometimes not even touching.
Tries to show him that he loves him and show him what they could be because his words clearly aren't working. Aziraphale is shocked and angry. He wants to kiss Crowley of course.

Crowley's been calling Aziraphale angel since the dawn of time. I totally believe that one day someone overheard the obviously human Crowley address the obviously human Aziraphale in this way and decided it was a sweet term of endearment, not a literal statement.
In 1967, Aziraphale discovered Crowley was planning to rob a church to get Holy Water after Aziraphale had refused to give him any. Worried Crowley would get hurt, Aziraphale gave him Holy Water in a thermos and suggested that in the future they go on a picnic or have lunch at the Ritz.
