The Student and The Mechanic

Disclaimer applies

Aaron stood in the doorway he could smell Jackson's aftershave and shower gel his boyfriend was definitely back at home, he felt his body respond just the mere thought of seeing his beautiful brown eyes had him walking forward as he shouted

"Jackson"

The door to the kitchen swung open and then there he was looking just as fit and as gorgeous as the Mechanic remembered, it may only have been three days but in Aaron's opinion it was three days too many

"Hi"

The builder sounded almost shy, he looked at Aaron and he melted

"Get over here" Aaron grinned as he opened his arms to greet his boyfriend

"No way, you're covered in oil"

He shook his head but at the same time approached the mechanic welcoming the feel of his arms around him and his lips as they captured his in a sweet kiss

"God I've missed you" Jackson sighed as he rested his forehead to Aaron's

"Have you?"

"Oh, only a little bit more than a lot" the builder smiled at his partner at last content to have his man back in his arms

"Can't say I'd noticed, have you been away?" Aaron smirked before swooping in to kiss his boyfriend with all the passion that he'd been missing these last three nights, with his lips still attached to Jackson's he whispered "I think we should go to bed" not giving Jackson time to think he deepened the kiss and manoeuvred them to the stairs before taking his hand and climbing them to spend precious time in his partners embrace.

With college finished for the term, Premier Refurbishments shut down until the end of January and the Garage closed for the holidays both men had time to spend together they had arranged to go into Leeds shopping and Aaron was impatiently waiting for Jackson who was still in their bedroom getting dressed

"C'mon Jackson, if we don't hurry the shops will be shut" Aaron shouted up the stairs

"Alright I'm coming" the reply was shouted back

When Jackson eventually walked into their kitchen Aaron looked at him and wolf whistled

"Wow, you look good enough to eat" the mechanic had a wicked gleam in his eye

"Don't start with that Livesy, I thought you wanted to go Christmas shopping"

"I did, but then you come in here looking like that and all I can think about is you in bed, naked, legs apart, wanting Me"

"Oh don't or we'll never get out of here and then you won't have any presents to unwrap on the big day" the builder at that moment wanted nothing more than to just climb back into their bed and spend the day making love with his lover

"Speak for yourself, I've already got most of yours!" the mechanic winked, picked up the van keys and headed for the door

"What you got Me? Jackson started to rush around Aaron, tickling him and nudging his arms "Come on tell Me, tell Me"

"Won't, you'll just have to wait until Santa has been" Aaron gave a sickly sweet smile and walked out

Leeds was heaving with shoppers, the two had separated arranging to meet up again under the clock at 6pm Jackson had rang Ben asking if there was a table free at the Restaurant so He and Aaron could have a meal before returning to Emmerdale, Ben had been a bit hesitant after all "Chambers" is where Jackson had been shot but the builder had insisted that it was fine and there was nowhere else in the City that they would want to eat.

Jackson wandered around the shops looking at all the gifts on display with the colourful ribbons and glittery paper all meant to draw shoppers into parting with their hard earn wages, looking at the toys Jackson could easily guess how some parents got out of their depths trying to give their children everything that they'd asked for, He picked up some toys for Bean before spotting a train set, He just had to get it for his Godson or more probably for Ben, Aaron and himself, poor Bean wouldn't get a look in good job He's only a few months old

Aaron had picked up some stuff for his Mam including a bottle of her favourite perfume and some new earrings large hoopy ones just the kind his Mam really liked, he spotted a Jumper that would suit Jackson, cream and brown with huge pockets and buttons he could see Jackson in it so bought it without checking the price it was expensive but his boyfriend was more than worth it, before 6pm he was ready to call it a day as he walked up to the rendezvous point he could see Jackson already there waiting

"Been waiting long?" he asked as he stopped in front of his partner

"Hello to you too"

"Sorry, Hello" the mechanic dropped a quick kiss on his boyfriends lips not caring who was watching or what they thought, no body else mattered only Jackson and he knew that he enjoyed PDA'S, it made him happy and that made Aaron happy, infact he was so happy he kissed the builder again this time lingering a little longer over the kiss before eventually releasing his lips taking hold of his hand and walking off

Jackson loved the feel of Aaron's hand in his, He loved that Aaron was walking through the centre of Leeds holding his hand not hiding the fact that they were a couple

"You hungry?" he stopped and looked at his Boyfriend "Silly question really isn't it you're always hungry"

"Yeah, but not always for food" the mechanic winked and then smiled as he noticed the blush creeping across the builders cheeks "Oh that's so cute, have I embarrassed you?" he pulled Jackson towards him

"No"

"Why you blushing then?"

"I'm not"

"Yes you are"

"Am not, must be the cold"

"Okay….If you say so, where are we going to eat everywhere will be jam packed this time of night"

"Good job I rang Ben earlier then isn't it, He's reserved us a table at Chambers" Jackson went to start walking again until he came to the end of their combined arms "Aaron?"

"You sure you want to go back there?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Jackson!"

"That's all in the past, lets leave it there, besides "Chambers" serves the best food in town I'm starving and I know nothing and no one is ever going to hurt me there again"

Aaron moved forward walking quickly almost dragging Jackson behind him

"C'mon then lets get there, I hope that Ben has steak pie on the menu, coz I'm definitely having that followed by Lemon drizzle cake, Umm I can taste it now"

Jackson stood watching his boyfriend walking up the road, he had to smile, he loved Aaron so much it was going to be a great Christmas he hadn't looked forward to anything so much in a really long time

"Hey, Aaron wait up!"
