Robert woke alone, feeling a little annoyed at the empty space next to him. He liked waking up next to Aaron, but Aaron tended to be up early, especially when he was working. With a sigh, Robert got up and got dressed, intending to find him. Downstairs, he found him in the kitchen, standing next to the counter, buttering some toast and already dressed. Shame. He walked over to Aaron and put his hands on his hips, standing right behind him, pulling him close.

"You didn't wake me," he murmured into Aaron's neck before pressing his lips lightly to his skin.

"Didn't want to," he said. The truth was he enjoyed watching Robert sleep far too much to disturb him. It was a luxury he'd never really had the time to appreciate before. Robert moved so one of his hands could run through Aaron's hair, still damp.

"You've had a shower," he said quietly, breathing in the familiar scent of his soap on his skin.

"That all right with you?" Aaron said.

"I'd have preferred it if I'd have joined you," Robert said, making them both laugh. "Please wake me up tomorrow."

"Fine," Aaron said. "Oh God," he added as Robert tightly gripped his hips, pushing himself against Aaron's arse. "Anyone could walk in," Aaron said, not moving an inch away from Robert. His hands and touch were far too welcome on his skin for him to willingly move, despite the fact he could feel himself getting hard. It would be so embarrassing were his mum to come in, but he couldn't quite bring himself to stop.

"I don't care," Robert said, his breath whispering across Aaron's skin as he kissed his neck. "You've no idea how badly I want you."

"Oh, I do," Aaron said, voice low, making Robert smile. His palm cupped Aaron through the front of his jeans and he groaned loudly, head tipping back.

"Careful," Robert whispered into his ear. "Don't want to ask for attention, do we?"

"You know we both have to be at work," Aaron said, swallowing against the lump in his throat. "We don't have time to…"

"No," Robert said. "I know that. But I want you to be thinking of me all day. When you're stuck at work, I want you to remember what my hands can do to you. What'll happen later when I've got you in bed, all to myself." Aaron let out a noise halfway between a sigh and a groan, making Robert smile. He loved getting him worked up like this. The anticipation made it all the sweeter when they finally did have time and could be alone and they both knew that.

Robert made sure to grind himself against Aaron hard, when they heard footsteps on the stairs, hurrying to the kitchen. Robert didn't quite care enough to stop kissing Aaron's neck.

"God, do you two ever keep your hands off each other?" Liv said as she entered the room, scowling at them both as they sprang apart.

"No," Robert said shortly. He was too happy to care what she thought of them. "I'll see you later." Even with company, he kissed Aaron briefly in parting, leaving him smiling in the kitchen as Robert went off to work.

"Is he always here?" Liv asked.

"Yeah," Aaron said firmly. "Because I want him here."

"That's me told then, isn't it?" she said, rolling her eyes at the kitchen table.

"It doesn't mean that I don't want you around, Liv." She caught his eye and said nothing, but nodded slightly in acceptance.
