[And for a good long while, Aidan goes with it, giving pretty much as good as he gets (only less messily). It's easy here, he didn't grow up with any of these people and so it's no big deal to be all out and proud in public. It's very un-complicated.
Of course, after a while it's getting a little too heated for being in public and just to be on the safe side Aidan eases up on the kiss. He tugs Helix closer, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and buries his face into the other boy's neck.]
