aidan

he doesn't remember how they got back to aidan's dorm room, but here they sit, cross-legged on a twin bed with tinted lips.

he's holding a box, narrow and rectangular, one that he's had for awhile. he holds it out to everett, "this was your christmas gift..."

everett hasn't said anything for at least five minutes. aidan is starting to think that he's made a mistake. a bead of nervous sweat rolls down his back.
