Never really dating, other than just a night with a puck bunny here or there. Aaron has started hanging out at Black Jack's bar more and more ever since Briar has started working there. He likes her, but, hasn't ever asked her out.

They both agree that its just a romance for the vacation and not to bring it back to Riverside U when they go back in a few days.
