"Aidan..." he hums softly as he wakes up, rubbing his eyes with one hand while the other runs over (y/n)'s back as she lays on his chest. They lost track of time and dozed off in bed, her yawning against his neck and he coos softly as she looks up at him sleepily. "Are we not going...?" she nestles in his arms as he pulls her closer, pulling down his shirt she was wearing to kiss her neck as she played with his hair.

"Five more minutes. I want to hold you a little longer..." he grumbles softly, running his fingers over her thigh that rested over his waist as he plays with her hair.

"You've said that over six times now." She smiles and he chuckles, squeezing his loves waist and snapping the band of her underwear against her hips. "Aidan!" she scolds him as she leans up but he just smiles at her, pulling her close by her cheeks to kiss her lips sweetly. "We. Should. Go. Before-" he cuts her off between her words with kisses and she melts against him.

"Alright baby, let's go." he taps her chin up affectionately as she leans to sit back on her knees, watching as he got up from bed to start picking up their clothes again. He winks at his pretty girl who flushes when he struts in only his boxers, admiring her wearing his shirt and sitting so lovely on the bed while waiting for him. He couldn't help but drop their clothes on the bed and grab the back of her neck to kiss her deeply, looming over her as he revels in her sweet gasps when he slowly leans he back down on the bedsheets.

"Aidan-" the couple jump when they hear loud thuds and people talking outside, them looking at each other with wide eyes before scrambling to put their clothes back on-not without a few stolen kisses here and there.

"Here." the brunette helps his love put her mask on after he puts his one, double checking that they both looked alright and kisses her forehead before holding her hand tightly. He slowly opens the door and peers down the hallway that was empty, pulling his girlfriend with him as they ran down the stairs into the still dancing crowd and out of the house. They giggle and laugh happily as they ran away, dashing past the few stragglers on the street until they stopped at a park to catch their breath.

"I still can't believe people are partying this late! It's like 4 in the morning!" (y/n) gasps, blushing red when she realised that she and Aidan got to the party some time after midnight. He chuckles seeing her flushes cheeks, holding her waist against the tree she was leaning on to kiss her softly. His heart jumps feeling her smile in this while she runs her fingers through his hair, his own hands pawing at her waist and trying to pull her back with a pout when she breaks the kiss. She chuckles and bumps her nose against his, moving back when he tries to kiss her again and she grins.

"(y/n)..."

"Let's go home," she whispers, running a hand down her boyfriends chest. "then you can kiss me all you want." his eyes widen but he smiles soon after, pulling back and the both of them running down the road.

~~~~~~~~

(y/n) and Aidan had thought that the day they came back to work was going to be normal, just full of filming and and the usual chaos with the cast. They did not expect to be scolded in the office by Steve and Jeff.

"What were you two thinking!? Going off in public like that!"

"And you went to a frat party!?"

Aidan looks over to (y/n) who had become closed off, holding her arms to her chest and looking down at her lap since she couldn't face the producers. He felt so bad for her and he never wanted her to go through this again.

"Someone took pictures of you two at the party!" the couple flinches as they see the photographs thrown on the table in front of them. It was the two of them dancing on the dance floor, hanging out at the pool and them two sneaking up to the bedrooms. The last picture looked just as bad as the actual context behind it, since they did exactly what the image intended.

"Do you know who?" the brunette asks and the producers shake their head.

"We just got these mailed to us with no sender address. We can ignore it for now since it looks like two people in costumes."

"We can even deny that it's you Aidan if it gets out but if someone decides to investigate further... they will be able to pinpoint that it's you."

"We just hope that your fans decides to ignore this and think it's someone dressed as you."

"As for (y/n), lucky for her she looks like every other Halloween cosplayer but she will be dragged into some heat as the mystery girl if people realise you're out with someone.

"What do we do?" Aidan asks, praying that his producers don't tell them to break up.

"Wait I suppose."

"You two no funny business. Keep your privacy indoors and not out at strangers houses!"

"Just continue to act professionally here and be a couple at the hotel."

"I think it would be wise to not go out in public for a while either."

"We'll get your PR's to contact you when they deem it safe for you to go out again, but please follow their instructions strictly. We don't know who took these photos and we suspect they know Aidan is dating."

"I suggest you two take the day off today, shake this scare off and relax before coming to work tomorrow again.

"Alright..." the couple nods slowly and they get up to leave when the meeting was done.

(y/n) hated being yelled at, she didn't like the feeling of her just turning off. It let a sick feeling on her mind and her body and it was hard to shake off. Aidan quickly holds her hand and pulls her towards his trailer, settling down on his bed and pulling her down on his lap to hug her.

"Are you ok?" he whispers, rocking her softly as she relaxes in his arms, her frigidness melting away and she sighs heavily.

"I don't know... I'm sorry-"

"-you have nothing to apologise for. It was my idea to take you out-"

"-but it was me who asked to go to a party." the brunette frowns at his loves words, her blaming herself and he shakes his head as he holds her tight.

"It's none of our fault. We were acting just like others our age. It's this person that ruined that. You have nothing to apologise for. You hear me?" he looks down at her, waiting for her to comply and she nods, leaning back to croon under his chin. He pulls them down to lay on the bed, letting her curl against his chest as he rubs her back.

"I'm worried..." her voice muffles against his shirt as she holds him tightly. "What if this isn't the last time, what if this person is dangerous... What do they want? How do they know it's you? Did they follow us or were they just there?"

"I don't know (y/n)... but if it does come to it... would you come out as my girlfriend to the public...?"

"...I don't know... I don't want people to see me as someone going after your fame-"

"-and you're not. Trust me, you never have once." Aidan frowns as he leans back to look at (y/n). "Everyone knows how hard working you are, everyone who knows you, understands that you never dated me for my title. I know that. You prove to me everyday. I'm the one who's worried. Your peace would be taken away, your life, your privacy... I don't want that to happen to you... I don't want people forcing themselves into your life, harassing you, hurting you..."

"Aidan, I'm stronger than I look." his girl chuckles softly with a smile but he shakes his head.

"Doesn't matter, I don't want you going through that ever..."

"We'll see in the future. If we're both ok with it and if it comes to it as a last resort..."

"Only as a last resort. I want to keep you in my life only for as long as I can. I don't want anyone else knowing about you."

"I don't know if that's sweet or creepy Aidan."

"Shut up, you know what I mean." The couple laugh together softly, the brunette leaning his forehead on his love's as he pecks her nose, making her scrunch at the ticklish feeling and he just adores her. "Do you want to go to the hotel?"

"Not yet. I'm not ready to quarantine yet. Once we head back, your producers are gonna make us stay indoors to avoid the public."

"You like staying indoors though." Aidan muses, cuddling with (y/n). "You hardly go out unless I take you somewhere with me."

"Don't need to call me out like that... but true. What if we want to go somewhere?"

"We can always sneak out." he grins, his love raising a brow at him.

"That's how we got in trouble in the first place."

"They can't stop two rebellious young adults."

"Boi you're not legal age here yet to be called an adult." his girlfriend mocks playfully and he rolls his eyes, tickling her and she squeals out in laughter. "Ok! Sorry!" he laughs and pauses his tickling to just hold her waist, kissing her jaw.

"You may be older than me, but you're my baby." his girl rolls her eyes playfully with flushed cheeks and his chuckles softly as he kisses them before dropping down on her body to sleep on her.

"Aidan!" he cuddles his love tightly and nuzzles her chest before crooning his head beneath her chin, wrapping his arms around her tightly like a koala.

"Look who's the baby now." she muses and he smiles when she combs her fingers through his hair, the couple dozing off to sleep together.
