Something Important

They'd been together for two years, in fact today was their anniversary, both men sometimes couldn't believe that they were still a couple it was fair to say that it hadn't all been a bed of roses or if it had it was a really thorny rose.

After their first time together they'd gone clubbing, confronted Craig a mate of Jackson's and let him know he didn't stand a chance with Aaron, they knew they hadn't been as nice as they could have been but Craig had really started to get to the builder in those previous weeks so to be able to show him and everyone else in Bar West that they were together made it all the more sweet.

The builder and the mechanic had basically not spent a night apart, the first few nights at Jackson's flat, and then, after an embarrassing conversation with Paddy the vet who Aaron lived with they alternated between the two properties, that was until Jackson's flat was flooded, he'd moved in Smithy cottage full time.

The two young men found living together a challenge at times, but found sleeping without the other one beside them impossible, it was true to say though that in those first few heady weeks it had consisted of little or no sleep as they continued their journey of discovery around each others bodies.

Sex with Jackson was like a drug to Aaron, He was addicted to it and couldn't wait for more he'd never felt like this before, for Jackson too who'd had previous partners it was something new and exciting, if you were to ask the older man about his previous partners he'd struggle to remember any of them his mind now was so full of Aaron.

Aaron also found that Jackson was very sensitive and vulnerable in his own unique way, they hadn't been together long when they'd had an almighty row, the mechanic couldn't tell you how it started but it ended with the younger man stalking off to bed, many hours later he realised that the builder wasn't joining him, it was late, he crept down the stairs and spotted the builder sat at the kitchen table with his head in his hands, the creak of the stair gave the mechanic away and the builder looked up at him they decided there and then to never let the sun set on an argument.

There had been plenty of fall outs and lots of make up sex with the two learning about each others bodies during those first few months.

Jackson during one of their sessions had bit down on the nape of Aarons neck, they had been enjoying leisurely love making with the mechanic grinding his hips into the mattress as the older man slowly entered his partner he wanted to cry out but was aware that they weren't alone there was a possibility that the vet may hear them so he'd sank his teeth in the younger mans neck, the reaction had been electric the mechanic reached his arms out and grasped the bed post, he wasn't quiet as he groaned his approval at what the builder was doing to his body, the mark on his neck a reminder for the next few days of their shared passion.

Several months into their relationship they had found a piece of land just on the out skirts of the village where Jackson had built their house, their own piece of heaven, their haven against the world, this was where the two now meant to spend the rest of their lives.

So today being their Anniversary the two had plans for each other, neither had told the other what they had in store.

Aaron had never been a good cook but over time had mastered the art of a few dishes, He'd already asked for time off work and had suffered a few good natured remarks from Ryan and Cain about how he was well and truly under the thumb, he didn't mind because it was true and no one could be happier than him.

The smell of dinner cooking put a smile on the builders face as he walked through the house and into the kitchen-diner what greeted him took his breath away, the table was laid, there were flowers, candles and soft music was playing in the background, wine was chilling that made the builder smile again as he knew the mechanic hated wine beside the wine in their own cooler 4 cans of lager, that's more like it the smiled, he'd started to walk over to the mechanic that tell tale look in his eyes, he'd been stopped in his tracks and told to go take a bath, he went upstairs and again was greeted by subtle candle light in the bathroom and a nice warm bubble bath awaiting him as he slid under the bubbles he'd thought, now this is nice.

Fresh from his bath he'd dressed and gone back downstairs to join his partner who had put the finishing touches to what turned out to be an absolutely delicious meal, the plates and pans forgotten as the two made their way into their sitting room, this room although not very big managed to house a flat screen TV and all the gizzmo's that the boys had collected over time, the main feature of this room was the sofa with it's big, squishy, comfy cushions and that's where the two men headed.

There had been a long drawn out not so quiet make out session on this sofa the builder had claimed Aarons lips as soon as they were seated and it appeared that he wasn't going to release them any time soon, he'd licked and nibbled at the mechanics upper lip earning himself a muffled groan from the younger man who'd tried to progress the session into deeper more sensual pleasures only to be denied what he was wanting, he'd pulled back from his partner wondering what was wrong to see Jackson move from the sofa to kneel on the floor in front of him

"Will you marry me?" the builder softly asked

A/N One shot or could it be more?
