Aidan sighs softly when he slowly woke up, his body clock being used to waking up in the extremely early morning hours but he was surprised to see he had slept a little later than usual when he checked his phone. He looks over at (y/n) and smiles at how she had kicked her blanket away from how hot it was, still draped over her middle as her legs were a tangled mess in the sheets.

She had turned in her sleep to face him, her cheeks squished against his arm that lay under her head and he melts from her softness. He holds his breath when she turns to her left and off his arm to wrap her legs around her pillow, holding it tightly and curling around it. He chuckles lightly and slowly gets up from bed to get dressed for the day, deciding to go to the gym today before dropping his girl back home.

"Aidan...?" he freezes when she blinks her eyes tiredly and looks at him, glancing at the sun just starting to replace the night outside the window. "So early..." she huffs out and he walks back to her to brush her hair back to try and relieve her of the heat.

"I know baby. I'm sorry for waking you up. I'm just heading out to the gym and I'll be back." she simply nods and turns around to lay face down against her pillow which makes the brunette just smile.

"Have fun..." she mumbles out and he kisses the top of her head before waking out to use the other bathroom to not disturb his girl who went back to sleep. He freshened up and changed to head to the gym, the new day quickly replacing the night as people started waking up.

Aidan gets back home a couple hours later, creeping back into his room to see (y/n) still asleep but looking more uncomfortable from the heat. His face turns red seeing how one of her legs was kicked up against the bed, the flannel shirt ridden up to reveal her waist and her shorts folding in itself to reveal more of her plush thighs. He quickly walks over to pull her shirt down, draping the blanket over her legs but she cries out in frustration as she kicks them away.

She runs her hands down her face and slowly sits up. "It's so fucking hot!" she hisses out, blinking ins surprise to see her boyfriend looking at her in surprise. "Oh, how was the gym?" she mumbled out sleepily, yawning as she grabbed her hair tie to tie up her hair.

"It was good. I'm guessing your sleep wasn't...?"

"No... what time is it?"

"Just past nine."

"Fucking hell..." she groans out while the brunette went to get a change of clothes after his shower. "Aidan..."

"Yeah?" He calls out from the bathroom.

"How far is the gym?"

"It's a ten-minute walk from here."

"Ok!" He chuckles lightly and finishes his shower, dressed in some grey sweatpants and walking out into his bedroom to find a shirt. Aidan doesn't realise that (y/n) walking into his bedroom after freshening up and brushing her teeth, her eyes wide in shock when she sees him stand back up straight with a shirt in hand.

Holy shit he has abs...

She tries to look away but he was fucking mesmerising, blinking away and moving to creep back out of his bedroom but she bumps against the doorway. "Shit-" she hisses softly and that catches her boyfriend's attention who smirks at her seeing how red her face was.

"You ok?" He muses as he stretches up to put his shirt on, catching how she glances at him but quickly looks away.

"Yeah... Robert said breakfast is downstairs..." she clears her throat, still looking flustered as she moves to pack her bag.

"Hey, you're not staying?" The brunette pouts as he pulls his girl away, holding her hands.

"Mums expecting me home Aidan..."

"A little longer?" He brushes his thumb against his girl's jaw to sway her to stay and she leans into his touch but shakes her head.

"I can't keep using my friend and sleeping over at her place as an excuse. Mums getting suspicious."

"What if you introduced me to your mum...? Let her know that it's me you're staying with...?" Aidan nervously suggests and (y/n) looks up at him in surprise.

"You... want to meet my family?"

"I mean-maybe it's too soon-"

"I wouldn't mind but... maybe a little later in the future?" His girl asks and he nods, smiling. He was happy to wait, to give them a bit more time and not rush his girl.

"Let's go down to eat then." He says, holding her bag for her and taking her downstairs to the cast who were smiling widely knowing the two slept in the same room together.

"How was your sleep (y/n)?" Emmy and Ritu grinned as the younger girl sat in her seat.

"Good. Why?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"Feel alright this morning?" Elliot smiles and (y/n) nods as she eats her toast.

"Yeah perfectly fine." She remembers back to when she saw her boyfriend shirtless and blushes pink, the cast picking up on it and looking at each cheekily.

Even Aidan saw and leans down to (y/n) to whisper in her ear. "You can look at me all you want lovely. I don't mind." This made her choke lightly in surprise, quickly sipping her tea and the brunette grins mischievously.

"You alright there kid?" David asks, chuckling softly as she nods.

"Yeah. Fine..." (y/n) jumps lightly when Aidan moves his hand down on her thigh, rubbing his thumb up against her skin. "I'm gonna go-uh get dressed-yeah." She quickly excuses herself, scrambling back upstairs to change into fitting clothes for the gym in the bathroom. The brunette heads up as well to see his girl all dressed as she ties up her hair, leaning against the doorway.

"Are you going to the gym?" she nods and he leans off the doorway. "Alright, I'm coming with you." that made her freeze quickly.

"Uh no, that's ok-"

"-I have to take you to the station as well. I can't have my baby getting lost, now can I?" he muses as he squeezes her waist and moves past her to get to his wardrobe.

"B-but you just went-" Aidan simply goes to his bathroom to change and (y/n) ruffles her hair in embarrassment. She didn't like anyone she knew at the gym, plus it would be more embarrassing if her own boyfriend saw her sweating while working out so much.

"Let's go baby." the brunette comes out dressed in a shirt and sweatpants, leading his girl out of the house and towards his gym. He carried her bag for her, seeing her fiddle with his flannel she was still wearing over her shirt and he smiles knowing she took a liking to it. They arrive at the gym and he goes to put her bag away as she went to do her workout. Treadmill first and then the weights after. "Can I touch you?" he asks her softly and she nods, letting him fix her posture as she did her weight workout. His girl was a blushing mess the entire time as he praised her for her hard work since she added more weights for this session. "That's it, baby. Doing fantastic for me." she had to admit his encouragement helped her to push to finish her work.

"Thanks for the help..." she flushes as he smiles at her.

"Is there anything else you want help with?"

"Uh, what's that one workout that's supposed to improve bad knees? Bulgarian deadlifts?"

"That's the one, do you want me to help you?"

"Please..." 

Aidan nods and helps (y/n) get the right form, handing her some weights and gently holding her still by her waist when she becomes unstable. "Just take it easy baby. Slow and steady." he had noticed her slight limp in her left knee when she walked up steps and was happy to help her but it seemed more urgent. "Are you sure just working out might help your knees? Have you checked with a doctor?"

"No... not really? I didn't think it was that bad. I thought if I keep working out it might improve..."

"Just have it checked out for me just in case (y/n)."

"I will." she smiles at him, wincing from the slight ache and he helps her up to take a break before switching legs.

"Easy, easy..." the brunette holds his girl tightly as she wobbles, finishing up the final rep and carefully taking the weights away as she stretched her legs. He grabbed her back and walked out of the gym with her, holding her hand as he lead her to the train station.

"Thank you, again..." she mumbles out shyly and he smiles happily as he kisses the top of her head.

"You know I would do anything for you. Now get home safe ok." Aidan says as he and (y/n) stop once they arrived at the station. "Text me when you get home."

"But aren't you working today?"

"I am but I need to make my sweet girl gets back safe. I'll text you back straight away no matter what." he taps her chin up affectionately, pecking her lips sweetly which makes her flush.

"Ok... I'll text you when I get home." she leans up to kiss his cheek and now it was his turn to blush, his ears turning pink. His girl giggles as she walks away, waving goodbye before dashing into the station while he stands outside with a loopy smile on his face.

Aidan walks home blissfully as he holds his cheek, (y/n) getting in the train and realising she was still wearing her boyfriend's flannel but it was too late to give it back since the doors shut.

She pulls up the collar and breathes in the cologne, blushing as it smelt like her boyfriend.
