[There's a fair bit of relief washing through his system as Helix agrees, followed by a fair bit of color washing up over his cheeks as the other clarifies the situation. A significant part of him wants to ask, but he promised time and time again that he wouldn't and so he bites his tongue. In a way, Helix is telling him what happened. It's just in bits and pieces, small clues that he can't really put together into a full picture just yet - all he knows is that something happened that made the other squirm under his touch, that made him scared and wild and even more defensive than before, that made him not even want to----
And then it hits him. He can't believe it, doesn't want to, but he could only go so long before that possibility sinks in. It... can't be anything else, can it? Well, it could but Helix is tough as nails and Aidan is having a tough time even thinking of anything that would put him in this state. Except that.
Still he doesn't say anything, just swallows and manages a smile. He promised that Helix could take his time and come clean whenever he's ready, and even if Aidan's managed to figure out parts of the truth on his own that's no reason to break that promise. ]
Alright.
[And then that other realization hits, the one that was half-buried in the ice-cold suspicion - Acumen doesn't like when inmates fool around? What does that even mean? It couldn't mean... solo excursions, he's pretty sure about that, what with him being a healthy young man. Surely he would've been in trouble already if you weren't allowed to do anything and with all the kissing that went around during the day he might just need some clarification here. ]
