Mine and Aaron's naked hang-out had gotten me feeling so much more comfortable with him and with us being closer. I guess being covered in each other's load does that. But it was also that kiss. It felt so passionate, so intense. Like he wanted all of me as much as I wanted him. And I really wanted him.
Which made it a lot more disappointing when we started moving Aaron's things back into Nate's room. He laughed as I tried to haul some of his weights out, but it just made the room feel bare without all his stuff clogging it up. Like there was too much space now. Especially going to bed that night; there was too much space, and it was too quiet.

The next morning wasn't much better. In the cool dawn sunlight of a Friday, I got up and got dressed ready to go to work. I wasn't a morning person, but I usually had the kitchen to myself to sit and eat some breakfast and slowly wake up.
I almost walked straight into Aaron in the kitchen. He was bustling around as I turned the corner and had to stop myself quickly. He just smiled at me and went in for a hug anyway. I hadn't woken up pinned down by his big arms this morning, but now they pulled me in close. I actually kind of missed it.
"Morning bro. Sleep well?"
"Yeah, was nice having some space to myself for once." I laughed as I lied.
"True. Didn't get woke up by you clambering over me, which was nice." He laughed back.
He was entirely too loud for this time of morning.
"Well, I got some breakfast ready if you want some?"
"Yeah sure... where did you find that apron?"
As he'd turned away I saw that Aaron was basically just wearing some shorts and had thrown an apron on top. That left his arms and back uncovered like some sexy chef outfit.
"Found it in the cupboard, dunno who's it is."
"Yeah I think Mom had it but years ago. Probably hasn't been used in ages."
We both sat down as Aaron brought over some plates of food. Toast, eggs, bacon, etc.
"Are you off to the gym this morning then?" I asked.
"Yeah for sure. Gym this morning, some running later. You wanna come with?"
"Nah Aaron. I'll only slow you down. And I've got work anyway."
"Fair enough."
We chatted a bit as we ate, and then Aaron went back upstairs, changed, and was out the door. I followed suit not too much later.
..................................................
It was pretty uneventful day at work. I was on the tills, chatting with some customers as they went through. One old lady told me I looked like her grandson who'd run away from home. Typical random weird things.
It was afternoon by the time I could pack up and head home. As I walked home I wondered what it would be like once Aaron left. It would be back to just me and my parents; a quiet house where nothing happened. Aaron had definitely brought some much needed life into the house.
As I contemplated, I could see a figure running down a side street towards me. He was shirtless in some running shorts and a backwards cap, speak of the devil.
I stopped at the corner to wait for him and watched as he got closer. I could see a shirt that was tucked into the waistband of his black shorts, swinging around with each stride. As he got nearer, I couldn't help but notice how his pecs bounced around with each step too. Like every step sent shockwaves of force rippling through him. He slowed down and stopped next to me.
"Miles, really gotta stop meeting like this." He smirked.
"You've got to stop stalking me then." I smiled back.
He was sweating and breathing pretty hard, he must have been out for some time by now.
"Are you done for the day then?" I nodded back. "Sweet. I'm heading back too, I'll walk you."
We weren't very far from the house at the time and started to head back quietly. As we walked past the park, Aaron steered us in.
"You er, you mind if we talk for a sec?"
