{ he's fully expecting Aiden's bed to be unoccupied when he comes home from a night out with Katherine --- which means, he's inexplicably surprised to see that it isn't when he walks past. he even pauses to open the door a little more, to make sure that's /Aiden/ in the bed and not someone else - and when that's confirmed, he doesn't hesitate to slip in, pulling his shirt off and kicking off his shoes before climbing into bed and curling against his brother's side. fuck, he really missed him. }
[ there's a grumbling when a depression in the bed is made, and for a quick moment---- he almost turns away from the figure. now, that's only because he doesn't realize who it is until the sleepy haze stops blocking his sense, and he can literally smell his brother.
aiden would like to say that he isn't big on cuddling but a lot of things that he'd like to say that he isn't bug on normally gets turned on it's head when he's around his brother.
being sort of gay, for instance, is one. ]
What took you so long, you fuck?
[ it's murmured aggressively, but, lacks any actual conviction of venom as he moves an arm to swing to hook around ethan's hip and keep him close. he's not allowed to go anywhere.
he can smell katherine on him which causes his nose to scrunch. if ethan wasn't almost totally gay (and, mostly for him---- he supposed there was a part of his brother that was also gay for, ugh, danny), there would be romantic jealousy there, but, it's mostly just jealousy that she takes up so much of his time.
it was dumb, he didn't like it. ]
