I agree that S1 is also pretty blatant about showing the love in their actions, but since they don't directly admit it (to paraphrase Crowley, they've spent their entire existence pretending it's not there) I do not consider the ship itself canon in S1. The history of TV is rife with pairings, queer and otherwise, that audiences see and the actors leaned into, but which were never officially canon.

I considered Aziracrow to be one of those until proven otherwise, partially because in the 30 years between the book and the TV show, I never heard Pratchett or Gaiman outright endorse a romantic reading. I know Gaiman's been calling Aziraphale and Crowley a love story since S1, but as seen in the show, they haven't fully admitted it even to themselves until the end of S2.

As for the Destiel bit, I'm not saying it's as satisfying, or even as well written. The memes seem well deserved, and Spanish dub nonwithstanding, Dean's feelings are much more ambiguous than Aziraphale's. I still feel there's something comparable in two long-running fandoms bringing a fan favorite ship into the canon in some capacity.
