The Student and The Mechanic

I have nothing to do with any TV show

The welcome home banners fluttered in the breeze, the crisp October morning still cold the weak sun in the pale Autumn sky not yet burning the chill off the ground, still inside Sunshine Cottage it was toasty and warm, the Aga had been lit and the heat was pouring off it, the cupboards were stocked and an extra joke the cupboard in the corner of the kitchen even said Bean cupboard and when opened it was full of every kind of bean you could think of both tinned and packets, Pearl had called round with a lemon drizzle cake and Edna had made a casserole that just needed reheating saying that she didn't think that Ben would want to start cooking after driving all the way from London, it reminded Jackson again of what good and kind neighbours they had, he was now anxiously awaiting the arrival of his Godson and was up at the window every time a car went by

"Shouldn't they be here by now?" he was stood looking out of the window

"They'll be here soon"

Anna had rang to say they were about 20 minutes away, that was half an hour ago so it wouldn't be long, right at that moment their car pulled up, Jackson was out of the front door before it had come to a stop

"Just let all the warmth out" Aaron shouted as he too followed making sure the door was closed behind him, he looked at the car, there was Jackson with Bean gently rocking him and whispering words of nonsense to the sleeping child

"What about Me!" Anna walked around the car and was enfolded in Jackson's embrace

"Me Too!" Ben to hugged the builder

Anna turned to Aaron

"How long has he been at the window?"

"Oh, only since you called, he's like an old woman worrying"

"Oi, that's My Godson, I'm allowed to be worried" Jackson was now happy and smiling, his friends were here safe and sound

"Not only yours" Ben corrected "But Aaron's too, if he'll agree"

"ME" Aaron didn't think he'd heard right

"Please Aaron" Anna implored "Bean cannot have enough good male role models"

Aaron didn't know what to say, he'd fallen in love with Bean on sight and although he was getting to know Ben and Anna had never considered that they would also pick him as a godparent, he looked at the couple who were looking back at him

"Well in that case, Hand over My godson" He took the infant off Jackson who reluctantly gave him up and walked up the path with him

"I'll never get My hands on Bean now" Jackson complained

Ben and Anna looked at the cottage with its banners, they both knew they were home, and it was such a great feeling

The days were pretty much uneventful, Jackson had settled into college life he liked all of the other students and when they'd asked him to go for a drink after college one night he'd unfortunately had to refuse as he'd already made arrangements to go out with Aaron and that option had far more appeal to him

"Oh come Jackson" Josh had shouted "Ring the little woman and tell her you are coming to the pub with us"

Jackson had never talked about his personal life but wouldn't deny who he was or the fact that he loved and lived with another man especially when that man was as amazing as Aaron

"Cannot do that Josh" Jackson had walked with the group to his van, he looked at the group "I'd have to ring the boyfriend" he waited for a reaction

"Oh Well" Brian reacted first, ring him then "Just stay for one"

"Sorry Guys, but Aaron and I are going out tonight"

"That the name of your boyfriend then?, Aaron?" Andy the tutor enquired

"Yeah, yeah it is, look I've gotta go, see you tomorrow" Jackson climbed into his van

"Afternoon only, tomorrow, remember" Andy confirmed

"Okay, see you then" and Jackson pulled away

He was late, Aaron checked his watch, he should be home now, the meal was ready, he'd had his shower and was dressed ready for their night out, but where was Jackson?, he picked up his phone and rang his boyfriend

Jackson was sat in the kitchen of Sunshine cottage he had Bean on his knee and Anna was sat across the table drinking tea when Jackson's phone sprang into life, he looked at the display, it was Aaron

"I'm nearly home " he didn't even start with a hello

"Are you at Sunshine cottage?"

"No, No why would you think that?" at that moment Bean chose to have a gurgle

"For goodness sake Jackson, you only saw him yesterday, now put him down and come home, your tea is ready and I thought we were going out"

"Sorry, right I'm on My way now" Jackson ended the call, kissed Bean and put him in his basket, he hugged Anna and made his way to the door

"Jackson" Anna stopped the builder by the door

"Yeah"

"Just ask Aaron where he was this lunch time" she was smiling at her friend

"He was here, wasn't he?" Jackson knew he was right "Wait til see him, Telling Me off for coming round to often" he walked down the path mumbling away to himself as he climbed in the van and made for Dale Head

Aaron and Jackson had a fantastic night out, they loved spending time together, they drank, played pool, joked about the amount of time they were spending at Ben and Anna's visiting Bean, and they spent a lot of the night kissing, being in a Gay club they were so relaxed, nobody cared if two men or two women were kissing, they were a couple in love and part of that was the need to demonstrate that love and how better than with some deep throat and passionate full on searing kissing

What Jackson and Aaron didn't know was that in the darkness someone was watching them, not only watching but was taking photo's when they were at their most passionate.

But Why?
