Aidan laughed at Sinjin¡¯s teasing. ¡°I will appreciate that," he replied. "And I will be sure to return each one of them." He dropped a kiss on Sinjin's hair when his head was on his shoulder. It was thinner than it had been when they met, but neither of them were the men they'd been then. And Aidan wouldn't have it any other way. They had twenty eight years together, marked in every laugh line and grey hair.?
"Mmm, both dishes sound delicious. And Starla will appreciate either, and the company. She's alone entirely too much lately," Aidan observed. He'd worried, but she seemed content enough. Sinjin was good about helping him ensure that Starla got some social interaction.?
He took a bite of his lunch, savoring the flavor and the time with his partner. ¡°Any thoughts for the Equinox? I know I should have realized it was coming up, but we¡¯ve been busy this last few weeks.¡±

Characters:?Sinjin, Aidan Sinjin probably should have felt more chagrined than he
actually did. He merely shrugged with a ¡®what can you do?¡¯ smile which was a
shade too innocent to be sincere.
¡°Remind me which shirt is that? I thought you liked all my
shirts one me, or even better off me,¡± the tone was teasing and accompanied by
a cocked eyebrow and the beginnings of a leer. The leer soon turned to a
genuine smile as Aidan scooted closer and settled against then pressed a soft
kiss to his lips. Sinjin treasured every touch and soft word from his partner
because he knew the love that was behind them.
¡°Ah, an oversight for sure,¡± he pressed the line of his body
tighter into Aidan¡¯s, ducking down a little so he could briefly rest his head
on Aidan¡¯s shoulder, ¡°I will endeavour to wake you each morning with a kiss ¡
in a variety of places.¡± He stayed there for a moment enjoying the closeness
before sitting back up and returning to his lunch.
¡°Shall we invite Starla over for dinner this week? I still
have some minced pork; I could make some meatballs in a mushroom cream sauce,
or a chicken with mushroom and chestnut stuffing?¡±

¡°I thought they¡¯d provide some variety to our table, and Starla¡¯s,¡± Aidan replied. He smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve mending to bring her way, since someone keeps getting caught on odd things and putting holes in shirts or losing buttons.¡±
His tone was teasing. Sinjin truly was no harsher on his wardrobe than Aidan. It just seemed like this week¡¯s mending was all Sinjin¡¯s apparel. Next week, it would be Aidan¡¯s. ¡°That green shirt I like on you ?needs some attention, too.¡±
He shook his head to the offer of sharing the curry and reached under the foraging bounty to bring out his own sealed container, kept secure and warm by being wrapped in a cut of fabric, bento-style. ¡°I brought my own. I thought I¡®d be out this long, even if I wasn¡¯t so fortunate as to catch up with you.¡±
Aidan scooted a little closer, just so that they were pressed together from shoulder to elbow. It wouldn¡¯t stop either of them from eating, but Aidan relished even the smallest displays of physical affection. He¡¯d grown up in a family unit that didn¡¯t value overt displays of affection, so even now he sought it out with Sinjin.
Before unwrapping his lunch, Aidan turned his head and stole a soft kiss from Sinjin. ¡°There,¡± he said with satisfaction. ¡°Since you were out of the house before I was properly awake.¡±

Sinjin was brought out of his thoughts by a familiar voice
calling his name. A fond smile came to his face and he turend his head in the
direction of the voice; there were a handful of people that called him Love and
he knew that particularly voice intimately.
¡°Hello,¡± he called out, watching his partner walk over and
settle himself on the blanket. Curiously he leaned over to look into the basket
and gave an exaggerated sniff, ¡°Mushrooms? A good haul, they look delicious. Are
you hungry? I have some of the leftover curry from last night.¡±

Aidan followed the trail leading to the meadow. He'd been foraging mushrooms and wild fruit and berries that morning, for his and SInjin's table and Starla's. In exchange, she'd take their mending and work her magic. Aidan had no talent whatsoever with needle and thread, and relied on his friend to keep him and Sinjin from looking ragged.?
He found himself smiling as he saw Sinjin in the meadow. Not that there was any surprise to it. This meadow was where his partner tended to drift. "Hello, Love," he called. Though his partner went by Sinjin, Aidan did like to use his proper name when the occasion warranted. This was one of them.
Aidan joined his partner in the middle of meadow, setting down his basket on a corner of the blanket. He also toed off his shoes, and then sat next to Sinjin. "Lunch break?" he asked rhetorically.
