But Who?

Laying in their bed in their house Aaron couldn't believe he was still here with Jackson, he really was incredible the mechanic thought as he gathered the sleeping builder closer to him, he just refused to give up on the younger man and for that Aaron would be eternally grateful, with thoughts of their conversation earlier swirling in his brain he immediately closed his arms more firmly around his slumbering partner.

The bedroom door closed quietly and Aaron heard Jackson say "You are not going anywhere"

The tension crackled but you could hear pin drop as the two men looked at each other, or rather Jackson stared at Aaron but Aaron refused to look at Jackson

"Why are you doing this?" the builder voice wobbled as he tried to keep his emotions in check "Why are you running away?"

Aaron continued to look at the floor as he shrugged his shoulders

"C'mon I deserve more than that!"

The younger man finally looked up, looked into the eyes of the man he loved, saw the hurt in those beautiful brown eyes and he cursed himself

"Guess I just got scared so I decided to run, it's what I do after all, so didn't want to disappoint"

"Aaron"

"Sorry" the young mechanic gave a small smile as he sighed " I just want this to stop, someone definately has it in for us and I don't think I can cope with this anymore"

Jackson moved forward and gently to cupped his hand on Aaron's cheek "Don't you understand you moron that as long as we are together we can face anything"

Aaron had started to cry as he listened to Jackson once again reassure him that everything would be okay, he just couldn't believe that Jackson still wanted him even with all the drama he caused

"You know something Jackson?"

"What?"

"I fell in love with you, knowing that we would never be together, knowing that you are too good for Me and that was really okay right up until the time you chose Me, well, when you chose Me that wrecked Me and ever since you chose Me I've just been waiting for you to realise and go and find someone better, someone who deserves someone as awsome as you"

"Wow!"

"What?"

"You don't say much but when you do, it's complete rubbish, gorgeous most of it, but waiting for me to realise that there is someone better out there when I don't even go looking well that part is complete rubbish" the builder was smiling as he said the last part "So what are we going to do?"

"I have no idea" Aaron wiped his eyes and sniffed

Jackson reached for a tissue "Come here"

The mechanic walked forward, Jackson held the tissue to his nose

"Blow"

As Aaron blew his nose, Jackson rubbed his back, then Aaron gave the builder the used tissue back which he accepted as he held it said "Now that's true love" he leaned in and softly kissed his boyfriend

Climbing into bed the two men wrapped their arms around each other, giving and receiving comfort and reassurance that they were together and nothing was going to change that.

Jackson was drifting off to sleep warm and safe in his partners arms silently he had said a prayer sending those thoughts out into the great unknown that somehow, someway, he was going to find out who was doing this and he was going to make them pay, he didn't know how, but whoever this was were going to be sorry.

Warm soft lips caressing his neck, teeth gently nipping then words of love being whispered against his neck had Jackson drifting further into a dream like state, he was enjoying having Aaron lavishing all his love and attention on him that he almost missed something that the younger man had whispered, his sleepy brain taking a while before his eyes shot open

"What did you just say?"

"Hmm" Aaron was still nuzzling his neck

"Aaron"

The mechanic looked up and into the eyes of the man who held his heart

"What did you just say?"

Aaron blushed pink but continued to look into Jackson eyes "I said a few things but I think I said will you marry Me!"

Jackson smiled at Aaron He'd just heard four words that he'd been waiting to hear for what seemed like forever

"Yes, I will"

Tender loving, hours of passion had left the builder exhausted and he'd eventually given in to sleep but Aaron just couldn't get his mind off whoever was campaigning against him and Jackson, he had a renewed sense of what is right and him and Jackson were definately right so whoever this was had better watch out because if they thought they were winning they couldn't be more wrong!
