After spending most of the morning with Aidan in the library we’d gone back to our apartment and both found notes from the Titan. He was asking us to meet him back at the training room later in order to work on our one-on-one skills. “Frankly, I think it’s a bit weird Atlas wants to watch. But I could be into voyeurism.” Aidan had said immediately after, eliciting a laugh and a roll of the eyes from me. After a couple more kisses I finally managed to tear myself away long enough to go and change into something more appropriate for training. In the matter of a single morning, things had changed so quickly. Aidan was more relaxed than I had ever seen him, letting his guard down around me and being more of himself. We had a lot more in common than I had ever really imagined. We were both deeply insecure, though perhaps for vastly different reasons. We both had a mortal past we were ashamed of and both of us were trying to use this opportunity to redefine ourselves without that cloud lingering overhead.Aidan was very thoughtful too, for someone who had perfected the façade of a vain, powerful asshole he also had a very sensitive side to him that calculated everything he did right down to how it would affect him in the long term.
