Well, many things happening wasn't exactly false. At one point it had felt like they'd only just gotten themselves out of one mess only to step right into the next. He didn't think there was any time he'd been particularly distressed though. Of course he was a fairly poor judge of his own moods most of the time, responding to violence with violence, sometimes in excess. He had always been rather volatile, especially when hurt or even just threatened. Changing that habit was... Something he was working on.
He supposed it made Vector the better judge though- more easily able to see when he was genuinely distressed or not.
"I guess you're not wrong-" He said, looking thoughtful, "Still... I would have made an effort to make sure there was the right time for romance, had I known."
How often had he disappeared off with a fling, too. Vector didn't strike him as the jealous type, but he knew that he wouldn't have been able to watch someone he liked wander off with someone else (or multiple someones, even) without at least feeling a little bitter and also maybe feeling like putting poison in said someone else's drink.
He wouldn't, of course. But he'd feel like doing it.
No real use in dwelling in the past though, he supposed. After all, they were being open about their feelings now. And there was just them and the droid. Being open about these feelings without a certain someone there to make a fuss about it was probably better.
He smiled then, looking up into Vector's eyes as he reached to put a hand on his cheek, gently brushing his thumb over his skin, "But I suppose there is no time like the present?"
If being more than his friend was something Vector wanted now... Aden would be more than happy to oblige. If he merely wanted the feelings out in the open... He could live with that too. He just wanted Vector to be happy, that was all. It was why he was trying to be careful- to not push. Vector's happiness was more important to him than his own- and it wasn't often Aden felt that way about a person.
