Aiden sighs as he watches Rafa go, then he remembers he should totally be calling Ash right now. He runs outside to the back and dials Ash's cell.

Ash is at a concert though, so he doesn't know his cellphone is going off, and doesn't answer.

Aiden freaks out right about then, and leaves a very confusing voice message telling Ash to call him ASAP because he did something really really bad. Instead of sticking around at his own party, Aiden decides that he needs to talk to Rafa, so he goes out looking for the other boy.

Rafael didn't bring his car, because it was a drinking party (as far as he was concerned, at least), so he's waiting at the bus stop for the next bus. Which won't be there for a while, really, but he hasn't anything better to do but wait.

Aiden comes across him and shyly approaches the bus stop.

He hears the footsteps coming near, and looks up to see Aiden there, "Uh. Hi."

"Hey." Aiden says quietly. "You didn;t have to leave..."

Raf shrugs, "I don't usually feel all that comfortable at your place, let alone after.. well, something awkward like that."

"It was my fault for not telling you." Aiden replies, leaning against the rock wall behind the bus stop.

"You aren't the only one who didn't tell me." Rafael replies, because he doesn't want Aiden to feel all guilty about it.

"I thought Ash would have, since you guys seem close and everything. I tried calling, but your cell was off." Aiden says. "And it's not like I didn't make out with you every other party we've been to together."

"But it's not like you specifically did anything today... and you did the right thing, pushing me away right away... telling me not to.."

"But I don't want you to feel bad about it though." Aiden replies, "Because it was my fault too." he says. "And I like you too much to let this screw up our friendship." And Aiden blurts out what he's really afraid of.

Rafael blinks, because he hadn't really been expecting that. He stand up from the curb, goes over to Aiden and gives him a big, friendly hug, "I don't think that's going to be a problem. I just feel really awkward now."

"Oh." Aiden replies, definitely hugging back. "I thought... Well never mind, I obviously came to a conclusion that I shouldn't have."
