Exclusive Friends

Aiden waits nervously for Guy- the guy he's been chatting to online- to arrive at his apartment for their first real date. His nerves quickly pass when Guy shows up with wine. They relax and hang out talking as if they had known each other for years. Aiden was delighted to find that they had the same humour. They spent the better half of the wine bottle watching Youtube videos like Madea and Kathy Griffin.

Flash forward two months later and, although the spark was fast to happen, the sex was slow to take place. Actually, it didn't.
They were doing the whole dating thing but it wasn't intimate in that way. Sure they had fooled around on occasion but with no "dink in the stink" action. Aiden began to think that they were just friends. Even when Aiden tried to discuss what the relationship was, Guy became elusive.
There comes a time in every relationship where the two parties come to a mutual agreement on where they stand and what exactly they are; they define their relationship. Aiden intended to do just that.
It's the day before Aiden is flying to visit Toronto, and he is agitated because they hadn't defined anything. Guy drove Aiden to the airport and while waiting in the terminal it got to the point where Aiden just confronted Guy.
"OK, what's going on here? I need to know what my limits are in Toronto, if I even have limits?"
After a tug-of-war to get any sort of feeling out of Guy, he finally said: "Fine, if you need a title then we can be exclusive friends."
Did this guy think that shit would work on him? After a momentary pause and enough time to relax the screwed up look on his face, Aiden replies.
"Number one, I ain't no damn fool. Number two, I'm Googling on my iPhone right now ... what the fuck that means because I've never in my life heard of exclusive friends! Exclusive friends? That doesn't even make sense because you know I have other friends. I was worried that screwing some twink in Toronto would be unfaithful to you, but apparently all I have to do to cheat is make a new friend."

Guy wouldn't say anything and was clearly upset. Aiden boarded his plane. Ten minutes later he gets a text from Guy reading: "I like you and I don't want you to do anything with other guys. I can't wait until you get back."
Aiden admits that this should have been too little, too late, but it was a step in the right direction, so he remained committed to making it work with Guy.
When Aiden returns, Guy picks him up from the airport and Aiden hopes they'd have missed-you-so-much sex that night, but instead Guy went home after dropping Aiden off.
Guy clearly wanted to be EFF (Exclusive Friends Forever) so Aiden pulled his own EFF (Effectively Freakin' Fleeing) to get away from this ... I don't know? Guy's not a comittment-phobe because he doesn't want them to be open, and he doesn't only see Aiden as a friend because they've fooled around thus proving sexual attraction.
I can't peg Guy down. Like Aiden, I can't put a label on him, which is probably making Guy smile right now as he reads this.
