Summary
“And then I fell in love,” Athos continues, “With a woman,” he adds hastily, as if it is important to clarify. “It went about as badly as it is possible for such things to go.”
“She died?” Aramis asks, carefully.
“She no longer lives,” Athos replies after a while, as though choosing his words carefully. He sighs again, huge and tired. “I confess I did not think I was capable of love any longer. This- ” he waves his hand vaguely between himself and Aramis in a way that seems to convey some measure of annoyance “- Has been most surprising.”
Athos shifts as though uncomfortable suddenly, “Not least because you are…well, a man.” He clears his throat. “As am I.”
Aramis cannot help the small smile that sneaks across his face. He schools it, nods seriously. “Yes. I had noticed that too.”

In which Athos tries to court Aramis while Aramis labours under the assumption that Athos does not fuck.
