Just watching Aiden puts Josh more even more at ease, and forces him to exhale just a little bit more stress that had been stored in his back and shoulder muscles.

He leans in and nuzzles at the werewolf's hand with his nose a little, dotting a kiss there before propping himself on his elbow.

"I was gone all night. I didn't expect you to stay up." Josh continues to randomly stroke his boyfriend's side. "Yeah, it was just a Klaus thing, and it got more bloody than I hoped it would." Another sigh.
