I woke up the next morning to the sound of groaning.

My eyes opened and I sat up. I turned my to the source of the noise which was most obviously Aaron. My eyes automatically narrowed, I stood up from the bed and walked over to his.

Aaron noticed me walk over, his eyes connected with my narrowed ones.

He gave me a weak smile.

"Good morning Jord-" He started to say before I punched him in the shoulder.

"Ow!" He squeaked and held his now wounded arm.

"What was that for?!"

"That was for last night." I said sternly.

Aaron's face twisted in confusion and then looked down grabbing the back of his neck rubbing it worriedly.

"What did happen last night?" He questioned still looking at his feet.

I smirked.

"You'll never know." I told him.

He gave a exasperated sigh, "Can you at least tell me why my head is pounding so much? I drank something in the safe and .... I don't remember much after that."

His nose twitched.

"Nope."

He heaved another groan mixed with a sigh.

"So you won't tell me anything?" He asked.

"Well..." I put my pointer finger on my chin mockingly, before throwing it up in the air announcing I had a idea. "You smoked weed!" I practically shouted in his face, he winced at the shouting and brought his hands to his head.

"I hate you." He told me, while rubbing his temples.

I pull away from his face and grinned triumphantly.

Soon after though I wrinkled my nose, "You still smell like drugs and alcohol though.", I told him. "Go take a long shower."

He grunted but did as I said.

I smiled as I heard the water in the bathroom turn on, despite what I say I like having Aaron around. In a way he brings a little light into my otherwise dark life.

I am kinda glad Aaron forced me to bring him with me on this wild adventure most people call life.

"Oi! Does this place have any body soap? I haven't seen body soap since that motel in Kansas!", I suddenly heard Aaron shout, pulling me from my thoughts.

I laughed out loud before yelling in response, "If it's not in the bathroom there's probably no soap!"

I heard a muffled grunt echo through the walls separating the two rooms and a quick, yet disappointed 'ok' soon after.

I heard the shower cut off and after a minute the door to the bathroom open. I stood up in thought of going in the shower myself.

Aaron walked out with a towel hanging low on his hips, his defined abs on full display for all to see.
I gaped at the sight and my cheek were tinted pink.

Jeez, I never knew he was so muscled.

I realized I was staring and quickly looked away, the heat still burning my cheeks.

Holy shit.

Seeing me do this, Aaron cocked an eyebrow and grinned mischievously.
