Monday, 12 November 2018 20:19Aramis has been living with the monks for two whole months before Porthos decides to do something about it.
The war has been going on and occupying his attention, but while Athos' friendship is good and d'Artagnan keeps him hellishly busy, he can't ignore the missing piece and no matter how much he tries to stay angry with Aramis, he finds himself faltering and unable to do anything but miss him. It's why he accepts the job running a message back to Paris just so that when he's done, he can head out to where Aramis is at prayers.
At first, he tells himself that he's only going to watch and check in on him to make sure he's fine. Then he sees Aramis and the way his heart plummets to his stomach makes him realize how very much he's not over Aramis and that persistent voice in his head that tells him to do something more.
He always has been a dumb and impulsive brute at times, and he can even be sneaky at the best of times. It's why he's able to get inside the monastery and follow Aramis until he sees which room appears to be his (and it's not shared, maybe a sign from God). Lingering in the dark of the hallway, Porthos slips into the room when Aramis is out for dinner, roaming and snooping before making a home for himself, sprawled on the bed with his chin against his palm, waiting for Aramis to return.
He should be angrier. He should be cross at being abandoned, and yet, how can he be? All he'd needed to do was come here and force Aramis not to abandon him by forcing himself back into the man's life.
How could a plan like that go wrong?
