Third person point of view
The next morning, Aaron was the first one to wake up. He picked up his phone and it said 9:59. He put it away and sat up. He cracked his neck and turned to the side. Cecil was still sleeping soundly. The both of them slept rather happily. And they were not people who rolled around a lot, so their night was peaceful.
Aaron got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He finished everything and walked out dressed up. He rubbed his hair as he walked out. He noticed Cecil was sitting on the bed with closed eyes and looking drowsy. " Good morning ". Aaron greeted and Cecil opened only half of one eye. He closed it again and ducked his head.
" Morning ". He greeted in a sleep laced voice. Aaron smiled and picked up his phone. " You can sleep more ". Cecil nodded and fell back on the bed. " No one will question you anyway ". Cecil opened his eyes to look at Aaron and saw his smirk. He also understood the implication. He picked a handful of the petals and threw it at Aaron.
Aaron chuckled dodging but a few still fell on him. He brushed them away with a smile. " While coming out, open the window and also just scatter the petals ". Cecil nodded. Aaron walked out of the room. Cecil went back to sleep. Aaron went to the table for breakfast. He saw Ethan and his father were having it.
The both of them greeted him and Aaron replied to them. " Cecil... ? " Ethan asked hesitantly. " He is still sleeping ". Aaron replied without hesitance. The both of them nodded and didn't ask anything else. Aaron just chilled for the rest of the time. Cecil woke up again and checked the time. It showed 12:27.
He took a few seconds to wake up completely. He groaned and got out of bed. He slept really well and the bed was super comfortable. He then did as Aaron asked him. He picked up the petals and scattered them around the mattress and also some around the bed. Next he went and open the windows.
He walked to go to the bathroom but stopped. He went to the bin near Aaron's table. He looked around and found some tissues on the table. He crumpled a few and threw them in it. He was satisfied with what he did and went to the bathroom. He just showered with the things in the bathroom without thinking much.
He then walked out in a bathrobe and remembered he didn't have any clothes with him. He didn't know what to do. He looked for his phone to see if he can call someone but it didn't turn on. He groaned in frustration. He wondered if he should just walk out like that. He definitely would have if it was his house, but that was not the case.
He looked around and his eyes landed on Aaron's wardrobe. He walked in and looked for something he could wear. He picked up a hoodie and sweatpants. He also found some underwear too. He chuckled and put them on. The pants were a little long. He rolled them up at the waist. The hoodie was also loose but it was fine. It felt comfortable.
He walked out of the room and went to the living room. He saw they were all gathered there. He silently made a beeline to sit beside Aaron. Aaron noticed his dress. He leaned a little closer and he could smell his own products on Cecil. He didn't know how to think of it, but his lips curved into a smile. " What is with your dress ? " He asked in a whisper.
Cecil also leaned towards Aaron. " I wanted to ask someone to get mine, but my phone was dead. Don't worry, I will wash them and return to you safely ". " I never said it was a problem ". Aaron said and moved away. Cecil rolled his eyes and turned to Aaron to find him smiling. Cecil shook his head looking away and smiled too.
" So, when will you be moving in ? " Grandfather asked. " I have most of the things packed. I will check once tomorrow and be moving them tomorrow itself if possible. If not, the day after. It shouldn't be later than that ". Cecil explained and they all nodded. They had lunch together and Cecil went to Aaron's room.
He picked up his phone and looked for a plug point. Ethan gave the charger to him and Cecil finally found it. He put it for charging and went back to sit in the living room. Grandfather was resting. Besides him, all others were there. " Do you need any help with moving ? " Aaron asked. Cecil shook his head.
" Just tell me the password of your house. I am not sure about what time I will do it ". " Sure ? " " Positive ". Aaron nodded. Cecil looked at his father and Aaron's father laughing and chatting. Ethan also joined in and they were chatting away happily. Even the mothers were talking to Lara about something animatedly.
" Looks like they are more than happy to be in laws ". Cecil heard Aaron say and chuckled. That was his exact thought too. Somehow they ended looking like one big family and like they knew each other for a long time. " I guess so ". Cecil said and Aaron shook his head with a smile. Cecil turned to Aaron. Aaron also did.
Cecil narrowed his eyes. Aaron raised an eyebrow wondering what Cecil was thinking about now. " Do you not have work today ? I thought you would leave in the morning itself ". Aaron smiled. " How can I leave you, my dear husband, all alone on the first day and go to work ? I rescheduled all the things for later ".
He leaned in closer. " I am very nice guy, you know ? " Cecil snickered. " Like I would believe that. You are just slacking off in the name of this marriage, aren't you ? " " I would say resting ". Aaron said shamelessly. Cecil shook his head with a small laugh finding it ridiculous. Aaron also smiled. They all left after a while and Cecil went back to his house.
He sighed as soon as he entered looking at all the boxes. He did a rough check of all the things he packed. He then went to pack the remaining things. He ordered dinner and had it quickly before getting back to work again. He was finally done with everything. He took a shower and went to sleep.
