Day 304 - closed action to Sougo
[ Despite the long sleeves, Aidan was painfully aware of the blue band on his wrist.

It had seemed like such a good idea at the time, to just go with it and be selfish for once. It wasn't like he was actually dating anyone and Rebecca made everything feel so easy, like you could just hook up with a friend and that was it. It reminded him of when he was eighteen and new to the city and how Tessa taught him the same thing — you don't have to be madly in love with someone to bone. It's fine if it's just for fun. It's fine if it's not serious.

Now, of course, back in the apartment where he stayed most nights, he couldn't help but wonder if it really was so easy. There's always other people involved and even though he couldn't care less about what most of the dome thought of him by now, it wasn't that long ago that he broke things off with Euphie. For damn good reasons, at that! Good, emotional, mature reasons but he knows what this must look like from the outside and the last thing he ever wanted was to hurt her. It was just... he needed good things too. He needed some intimacy and warmth because heaven knows when he'd get that next, if ever.

He sighs, head leaned against his arms where he sits by the kitchen table. Boy wouldn't it be nice if he had a best friend somewhere around here who could help him straighten this mess out? ]
