Aidan is enjoying a rare day off, one where he can actually relax lean into the couch, and read the newspaper. Josh, however, almost never has a day off the same day as Aidan and is reports to work as per usual. Sally being the ghost she is decides to stay around and pester Aidan as she would if he were Josh, which often entails forcing him to dig around and find one of her romance novels and turn the pages when she can't manage it on her own, or changing the television until it lands on something relatively interesting for both parties involved. Aidan doesn't complain, he merely enjoys the pleasant company and the free time to do whatever he will, even if that means just relaxing on the couch.
Sally's eyes are glued to the screen, Aidan being the person he is has managed to come across an old black and white mystery movie and it comes without saying that Sally is engrossed, so engrossed that she doesn't even notice that Aidan had abandoned his spot on the couch for a seat in the kitchen. When the movie ends and the credits roll she finally realizes he's gone and trails after him.
"Something wrong?" Sally plops down into one of the chairs that Josh has gotten into the habit of leaving pulled out for her.
"No, it's just that it's quiet and peaceful, which is a complete 180 from the hospital." Aidan grabs his mug from the table and takes a swig. Sally has to glance away, there's something about Aidan drinking blood at the table that bothers her, just a tad.
The rest of the day moves similarly, Sally watching the television and reading while Aidan goes about what he normally does reading, and then typing away at his computer. By the time Josh returns, it's almost midnight and both Sally and Aidan are ready to see him home.
They both expect Josh to go about his normal routine, shower, food, and then sleep with nothing in between. Instead, of immediately rushing upstairs, he falls face first into the couch and snuggles into the cushions, as if determined for someone to just try and move him.
"Josh, what happened? Are you okay?" Sally questions as she moves to see his face.
"Mmmregh." Josh groans as he burrows himself deeper into the cushions. Aidan sighs as he shuts his laptop and gently places it atop the kitchen table, and slowly brings himself into the living room. Josh has ungracefully plopped down on the couch face first, and despite Sally's protests stays right where he is. Aidan looks at his roommate for a moment, before getting on the couch himself and straddling Josh's hips. Josh lets out a squeak of surprise and opens his mouth to protest only to be stopped when Aidan begins to dig his fingers into the knots in his back. Aidan can't help but smirk, at the long drawn out moan he gets in reply.
"Why so stressed?" Aidan continues his ministrations, and Josh barely registers the question but still manages to form a somewhat coherent statement.
"Vomit…everywhere…three times…wheel chair…flights of stairs…" Aidan doesn't quite understand but still nods his head with every comment. Sally chuckles slightly at Josh before returning to her the book she had Aidan retrieve for her earlier. Josh eventually gives up and the only noises he makes are pleased groans.
When the sound of Josh's groans slowly fade away, Aidan finds himself rubbing the back of a very much asleep werewolf. Aidan moves to avoid waking him and carries him up the stairs into his room. Josh curls up into a ball the moment he comes in contact with the cool sheets. Aidan isn't sure whether he should be pleased to see Josh so relaxed and calm, very much unlike him when he is awake, or if he should be dismayed considering all he'll hear tomorrow is Josh ranting about washing the sheets and disinfecting the couch.
Aidan decides it's the former, as he leans down and kisses the others forehead. Josh stirs slightly but otherwise ignores the close contact, Aidan clicks off the light from the bedside table, and clicks on Josh's alarm. Not before he sneaks another glance at Josh, though.
A/N: Another short fluffy one, the next one however should contain smut…That is if I can find it in myself to write it. As always thanks for all the reviews, favorites, alerts, they all mean a lot to me. I hope to have the next installation out soon, as well as a one-shot. Bye for now. :D
