It didn't actually take as long as Alcuin thought it might, to search Hannibal's office and find... exactly the kind of thing that he'd feared he would find. He almost took it with it. It should be in his care. But he knew that would be stupid. So he took photos, and then carefully closed up and left. Even though he knew that Kersen was keeping Hannibal occupied this evening, he didn't want to press his luck by taking any more time than he needed.

He went straight to Aaron's.

When Aaron opened the door, Alcuin just sighed, looking sad, as he went inside.

It was entirely inappropriate, and the wrong time, but there it was. "I told him I love you as well."

Surprise registered on Kersen's face. "Oh... oh, I - "

Alcuin had stepped back into the room, and before Kersen saw him he said, "He told you, did he? I'm glad."

Kersen glanced back at Alcuin, and then back at Aaron. "I don't think I've allowed myself to think too hard on my feelings for you," he said softly. "Though I certainly knew they were there."

That made Aaron's heart warm. "I've never felt more happy than when we were together. I don't know if that's foolish of me, and I don't want to push anyone into anything, but... it's the truth and I should speak it." He looked at Alcuin who was the one who'd taught him to speak his feelings.

Alcuin moved closer to both of them. He looked at Kersen. “I told him we slept together.”

Kersen looked like he was trying to wrap his head around this. “I ah… I was going to offer to make up the guest room for the two of you, but…”

Aaron daren't think it. "Only if Alcuin wants to," he said. It was the young man, after all, who was distraught. He felt bad for getting horny thinking about another night with them.
