In his hotel room, Aaron sat down on the edge of the bed, his back facing toward the door. He had one hand up, rubbing at his nose between his eyes to try and stave off the headache that was building while his other hand held the phone to his ear. He listened to the voice on the other end and had to resist the urge to sigh. It was the same thing, every time. No matter what the argument started with it always ended up back in the same place.
When the voice on the other end paused, he tried once again to end this stupid fight before it could go further. “I’m sorry that you see a problem with this. I didn’t foresee that it would be an issue or I would have handled the situation differently. But it is what it is and I can’t go back and change it.”
“You don’t see a problem here?” Hayley demanded. She sounded absolutely livid.
They’d had this conversation earlier before Garcia had brought him the case that would take them to Chester. Sitting in his office, Aaron had been arguing with Hayley on the phone, badly enough that he’d actually been grateful that Garcia had brought him a case. Anything to get him off the phone. But now he was stuck once again in the same argument.
All of this had started when Hayley found out that Jack had stayed at the house with Morgan and Spencer while Aaron had run to the grocery store to pick up items for dinner. Why that was a problem, he couldn’t really understand. The two were grown men and fully capable of watching Jack for one single hour on their own. The boy had enjoyed his time with his ‘Uncles’. When Aaron had returned home, Jack had been excited to show him the new magic trick Uncle Spencer had taught him.
Apparently he’d also showed the trick to his mother once he’d been back with her and had told her about spending time with his Uncles while Daddy was at the store. That was the whole reason Hayley was mad at him now; because he’d left their son with the two men for an hour. Aaron knew she hated the relationship he was in almost as much as she hated his job. She’d told him what she thought of the ‘perversion’ of being with not just one man, but with two. But to get upset over leaving Jack with them? That was beyond Aaron’s understanding. It wasn’t like the two were pedophiles or anything like that. They’d entertained the boy and everyone had had a good time!
Aaron continued to rub at the bridge of his nose. His headache was slowly growing. “No, Hayley, I don’t. Jack wasn’t injured in any way. He had a good time with them, learned a new magic trick, and was completely unharmed when I got home.”
“You should have taken him with you! Bad enough he has to be subjected to your…relationship. He doesn’t need to be left alone with those two!”
“I understand you’re upset about this, but there’s nothing I can do to change the past, Hayley. I’m sorry you’re upset. What more do you want me to say?”
“Nothing. Absolutely nothing, Aaron.” With that last remark, she hung up on him. He looked down at his phone and sighed before closing it. For just a moment he sat there, holding the phone in his hands, staring at it. How had they reached the point that they fought over something so simple? At one point in time there had been love between them. Now, they could barely stand being in the same room with one another for more than a few minutes. Any visit, any phone call, ended up in a fight if Jack wasn’t with them. That was one thing they made sure of; Jack never saw them fight.
A light rap at his door drew Aaron from his thoughts. He sighed before setting his phone down and rising to go answer the door. When he opened it, Spencer was on the other side. Instantly concern filled those hazel depths. Without a word Spencer stepped in, shutting the door behind him and then moving right to Aaron. The older man opened his arms automatically, letting Spencer cuddle in against him. Their cheeks pressed together, a soothing gesture all on its own. Spencer said nothing, just held him, giving a silent message of love and support.
They stood that way until there was another rap on the door. Spencer shifted away from Aaron to peek through the peephole. Then, one arm still around Aaron, he opened the door and let Morgan in. Their dark lover walked in, letting the door close while his eyes took in the scene before him. Compassion was written on his face when he moved forward to take Spencer’s place, embracing Aaron.
Hugs with Spencer were always supportive and loving. Aaron cradled the young man to him, holding him tight, feeling a little stronger from knowing that someone was in his arms that trusted him to care for him. By showing weakness, Spencer made Aaron feel stronger. Hugs with Morgan were different. Instead of hugging, he was the one being hugged. The strength in Morgan’s arms and the love that was there gave Aaron strength in turn. He knew Morgan would always be there to hold him up when he couldn’t hold himself up anymore. Morgan would be a rock for him when he couldn’t be one for himself. Together, the two were exactly what Aaron needed at any given time.
Some of Aaron’s tension dissipated as it always did when they were together. He relaxed in Morgan’s arms, feeling Spencer slide up behind him, sandwiching him between them.
When the two pulled apart from him, they didn’t leave him standing there. Aaron found himself led toward the bed and sat down on the edge of it with them on either side of him. Morgan kept an arm around his shoulders while Spencer curled a hand over his thigh. “Talk to us, Aaron.” Spencer said gently. His hand rubbed lightly at Aaron’s thigh. “Tell us what’s been bothering you today.”
How was he supposed to tell them what Hayley had said? Both of them would hurt for him. Morgan would get angry and slightly offended that Hayley didn’t trust them alone with Jack while Spencer would be hurt by the accusations. He didn’t want to upset either one of them. Maybe he could word it carefully enough to avoid the anger and hurt. “I’ve been arguing with Hayley today. First was this morning, right before we got this case. Then, just moments before you came in, Spencer.”
“Do you need to talk about the fight?” Morgan asked him.
Vehemently Aaron shook his head. “It’s over something small and juvenile. I’ve said my piece and if she can’t accept it, then the problem is hers. There’s nothing I can do now.” He realized it was true. There was nothing at all that he could do at the moment. Stressing over it wouldn’t do him any good.
Spencer offered him a sweet smile. “Why don’t I give you that backrub, then? If you’d still like, that is.”
Looking first at one and then at the other, Aaron let go of his stress. Right at that moment there was really only one thing he wanted; one thing he knew would help him relax like nothing else. Here, with these two, he knew he was free to say it, free to feel it. There would be no judgment from them. He lowered the tough façade he wore around others and didn’t try to hide the exhaustion in his eyes or behind his smile. “Actually, I’d rather just lie down for a while, if you two don’t mind. I’m tense and tired and I’ve been wishing all day to just curl up with you two.”
With the ease of time often spent together, the three prepared themselves for bed, working perfectly around each other. Soon they made their way toward the bed, each dressed down to only their boxers. It had taken the combined effort of Morgan and Aaron and quite a bit of time before they’d gotten Spencer to the point where he was comfortable sleeping in such little clothing. With the insecurities he held about his body, he’d slept before in boxers and a t-shirt, trying to hide his body behind the clothes. Now he was still shy on occasion, but he had become a little more comfortable in his skin.
Aaron pulled the covers back, making room for Spencer to climb in. The younger man moved directly to the center of the bed as he always did. While Aaron slid in on one side, Morgan slid in on the other. The two older men grabbed the blankets and pulled them up and over before Morgan reached over to turn off the lamp, leaving them mostly in the dark. The bathroom light was on and the door just barely cracked in concession to Spencer’s fear of the dark.
Reaching forward, Aaron hooked his arm around Spencer’s waist, pulling his back flush with Aaron’s front, spooning into him. Spencer mimicked the same move with Morgan so that Spencer was held firmly between the two. Aaron’s hand reached over Spencer, curling into Morgan’s hip, allowing him to touch the both of them. He let out a soft little sigh. Yes, this was what he had needed. This was what he’d been craving all day long. The contact between the three of them that reassured him and strengthened him. Though none of them said a word, they all felt a little more at peace.
