Rated T: For a kiss and a peeping ghost

It takes a lot to bother Aidan, being alive for centuries and seeing the horrors of all humanity has to offer has made him more tolerable to horrific things. That's one reason he's a nurse, he can tolerate all wounds, and treat them efficiently. So he goes to work and deals with it all, memories, the blood hunger, and anything else that's thrown at him, and all its all dealt with by the same cool calm demeanor.

However, when he comes home one day to see Josh curled up on the hardwood floor, with the scent of blood thick in the air it takes all of his control to not go out and kill whoever is responsible. Aidan bites back the anger, and finds enough of his inner calm to help Josh.

It takes a moment for it to sink in when he flips Josh over on his back he sees the extent of his injuries. Josh's face is littered with multiple gashes, and purpling bruises. Aidan takes note of everything, including the fact that the full moon is only days away and Josh could have taken out anyone he wanted to if he needed to avoid injury. Aidan does his best to bandage him up, but there are things he can't do. Taking Josh is out of the question, the moon is too close to being full, which will heal him up to quickly to be considered normal.

"Josh?" Aidan reaches out and allows his fingers to brush across Josh's cheek bones in a soothing gesture, in a vain hope to allow Josh to feel human.

"Aidan?" Josh answers back, quiver in his voice evident. Aidan can hear someone upstairs, and it trying to decide if he should rush up to look, or stay with Josh. Before Aidan can get up, Sally is appearing next to Josh with the first aid kit.

"Aidan, I didn't know you were home." Sally seems surprised but hands the kit to Aidan and grabs Josh's hand. "See I told you, you're such a worry wart." Josh chuckles slightly at Sally, which makes Aidan feel better about the state of the werewolf in front of him.

It doesn't take long for Aidan to bandage up Josh, who does his best to sit up, and bite back his hisses of pain at the disinfectant and the pressure of the bandages.

"Do you think I could get some coffee?" Josh asks meekly eyeing Aidan with his doe eyes. Aidan shakes his head slightly amused by Josh's childish expression. Sally, however, quickly pops up and rushes to the kitchen before Aidan can.

"I can do it!" Sally yells with excitement, which causes the boys to erupt with laughter.

"I don't doubt it, Sally." Aidan declares, obviously amused despite the situation. "Come on." Josh squeaks as Aidan hauls him into his arms as if he was a blushing bride. Soon enough the term fits him as Sally pokes her head out the door frame to see Josh turning his head away and covering his face with his hands out of embarrassment, and Aidan smiling affectionately at him.

Josh keeps his head hidden until he is being placed on his bed. Only then does he lift his hands to sneak a peek at his proverbial "White Knight."

Aidan seizes the moment to bring his mouth to Josh's. The kiss is short, and it takes Josh a moment to register that Aidan has kissed him. Despite being in a relationship, Aidan is much more reserved with his emotions than Josh, and intimate gestures are few and far between. Josh leans in and allows Aidan to reclaim his mouth.

Josh pulls Aidan closer, and they fall backwards on to the bed. Josh whimpers as Aidan's hands wander over his wounded torso.

"You worry me, I hate to come home and find you hurt, but somehow you manage to do that rather well." Aidan mutters between kisses.

"Boys, when were you going to tell me about his?" Josh eyes widen as he glances at the door frame to see Sally leaning against the wall holding a cup of coffee.

"Eventually, I suppose." Aidan replies as he ducks forward to kiss Josh's forehead.

"If you're going to do this often, I would suggest a sign. A do not disturb would be perfect, right Josh?" Sally's grinning from ear to ear, and lets out a laugh as Josh hides his face into Aidan's shoulder.

"Sounds like a great idea." Josh mutters his face still hidden in Aidan's shoulder in a vain attempt to hide his shame.

Aidan can't find himself to be agitated with Josh burrowing his head into his shoulder. When the werewolf finally lets go, Aidan's first order of business is to get that sign.
