Aaron knew what day it was. Christmas with Ted had always involved waffles with frozen blueberries and some really irritating present like socks with frolicking moose on it, plus something really amazing, like an old compass. Ted always made him buy his own video games, especially the army ones. Aaron wsn't an idiot, and he knew he wasn't getting any of those things today. He was trying not to be petty and pissed about it, but he couldn't tell how much of his irritation was leftover from the police station and the cab, and how much was his own... and Trenton's guilt had sunk in pretty deep.
"How come you're not upset?" he asked, not moving from the couch where he sat down the moment he got in the room. "You just got arrested and some guy who isn't even sure he likes you had to come get you out. How come you're not upset?"
