Hide my darkness from you

Philip was on the bed with Aiden on top, fast asleep. And Philip was glad because, fucking a person takes so much more than just love. Control.

Before Aiden to offer it, he couldn't lie that he was desperate for it but, it was a lot of work and pressure. He didn't love the part where he had to make sure Aiden was enjoying sex.

Aiden looked so peaceful like a child when asleep. All his worries take a back seat and just rest his brain. Philip loved that side of him more but, needed to work.

So, there he was reading and re-reading his lines for the cartoon. The lines were short but full of emotions. Whoever wrote the script knew loneliness.

That was his first voice acting gig after all so, he wanted to do well. It was a very beautiful story, well written, even though it was a one person short film it was sensational. He just had to give the creators that.

"Damn! How long was I out?" Asked Aiden some time later when he woke up. All confused and apologetic. He was supposed to take it up in the ass!

"Not long" Replied Philip caressing Aiden's hair, "Feeling great?"

"I'm just tired" Replied Aiden, stifling a yawn, "Let me go and cook us something, yeah?"

"That'd be amazing!" Supported Philip as he started to feel hungry, "I got lost track of time, sorry"

"You are not Philip the house wife, are you?" Asked Aiden, lessening Philip's guilt.

"I wanted to ask you something" Came Philip's question nervously as he walked to sit on the kitchen chairs.

"What is it?" Replied Aiden, intrigued. Was that Philip's way to ask for a favor? Cute.

"How come you aren't in this project like Grayson?" Asked Philip seriously. He honestly thought that, those two friends worked together.

"Well, for one I'm bad with drawings and two? I have no design bone in me" Replied Aiden opening and closing the fridge for ingredients, "Why? Anything wrong?"

"No. I was just curious" Replied Philip with a shrug further proving his discomfort.

"What are you worried about?" Asked Aiden, hypnotising Philip with his voice and presence.

"I'm not worried, I'm scared. If I do this one well then, I might be a fulltime voice actor. I can hide and still do what I love" Said Philip thoughtfully confusing Aiden. Wasn't that a good thing?.

"I can't say I'm not glad" Said Aiden at last breaking their eye contact.

"Need any help?" Asked Philip anxiously.

"Not really" Replied Aiden before he stopped to assess the situation, "I can't tell what you don't share"

"So, I need to work on this project tomorrow and they specified for the whole of next week in the contract. I won't be here next week!" Explained Philip feeling hopeless.

"Where are you going next week?" Asked Aiden instead, bracing his heart. He's not ready for the distance. Too soon.

"It's a first meeting with the cast, directors, producers... you know, the usual" Informed Philip losing his brain cells.

"And it's important, I presume" Said Aiden thoughtfully before smiling brightly at Philip, "Give me a minute"

Philip didn't like using Aiden like that but, Grayson was a stranger for him to be giving excuses from early on. But, Aiden can.

Aiden took three minutes to end an intense call and walked back to Philip excitedly.

"So?"Asked Philip curiously.

"Good thing the video is ready and that script is the final so, you can go even today to start your work in their studio" Said Aiden excitedly.

"Really?!" Asked Philip not really believing his teeth. It was a gamble using that emotion card on Aiden and it worked! He was so wrong for Aiden.

"Would I lie to you?" Asked Aiden as he placed Philip back on the chair and him cutting up the ingredients.

"That was Grayson?" Asked Philip with a smile, making conversations.

"No. Leon... the director?" Replied Aiden simply, busy being a house husband and it was just so hot.

"...Wait, so you know the whole crew?" Asked Philip as an after thought.

"I'm not sure but, I know enough" Replied Aiden thoughtfully.

"My husband is well connected, ain't he?" Flirted Philip getting a feel of his dick leaking.

"You like it?" Asked Aiden with a chuckle.

"It drives me wild!" Said Philip fervently before his tummy growled, "First, I need to eat"

"On it, monkey" Replied Aiden after a kiss on Philip's forehead.

After Philip left Aiden alone he went back to the bed, looking at his reflection. He wished he could tell it to somebody that he was more than fine this time around. He was happy and in love. Two things he never done for.

Philip wanted to do something for Aiden. Something outside his comfort zone because, Aiden was worth it.

"Food is ready!" Announced Aiden from the kitchen, "And I was sent the video from Leon"

"Great!! Let's eat first" Came Philip's happy voice.

"That hungry, huh?" Asked Aiden, amused.

"Just energised, that's all" Replied Philip taking the plate from Aiden, "Aiden, if there's a way to hide my darkness from you. I'll take it"

"I'm blind anyway so, you are on the clear" Said Aiden assuring Philip with a kiss on the cheek.

After the food there was nothing much to do for Aiden other than throwing himself into work.

The schedule was fucked and he needed to sleep, especially at night .

"Baby, it's past midnight. Let's get you a shut eye" Suggested Philip worriedly and to his surprise, Aiden closed his laptop and followed him.

"You are not gonna put up a fight?" Asked Philip to the giant who just went to hug him silently.

"What's the point when I always love to see you win" Replied Aiden sleepy.

Simple words as they were but, they did things to Philip. Something major and it didn't show but, he was so happy that he could die with a smile.

Aiden was sure surprised by the act of service he was getting from Philip, helping him with his toothbrush, washing him with care and even helped to dry him.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Asked Aiden when he couldn't take it no more.

"Nothing is wrong. I just love how selfless you are" Said Philip before kissing Aiden deep and demanding

"I'm not selfless, Philip" Replied Aiden as he laid Philip on his back, "If I could do everything that's passing through my brain now then, you would know"

"Then why don't you?" Asked Philip taunting Aiden.

"Sleep, monkey" Said Aiden finally, cutting the moment short as he slept on the other side of the bed. Leaving Philip all hot and bothered.
