The close friendship between the 260 year old vampire Aidan and reluctant werewolf Josh is one of the most important things in their lives. Despite their wide range of differences, the two are bests friends and support each other in coping with being supernatural creatures. When one of them needs the other they always help each other, even when dealing with their own issues. They first met when Aidan saved Josh from being beaten from vampires and even helped Josh get a job at the hospital, with the plan to have Josh help him control his bloodlust. Over time the two developed a strong bond of trust the surprises, confuses and at times disgusts nearly every other vampire and werewolf, as the two species have never gotten along.

Their relationship is built on the fact that both need the other and desire the other to be happy. From Aidan's point of view, Josh serves as his anchor to humanity while being the only person who truly believes Aidan is a good person despite what he has done. From Josh's point of view, Aidan saved his life and helped him find a sightly better life, while constantly pushing him to better himself. Nearly every form of happiness the two achieve was only possible due to their friendship, and is what made the group form. For instance, Josh would never have tolerated Sally without Aidan while Nora would never have learned to accept Aidan without Josh showing the vampire's good nature.

While the two have had falling outs from time to time, mainly due to Aidan's actions while involved with vampires and the secrets he keeps, the two have always forgiven each other. This is shown by their biggest argument, when the two showed opposing views on Kenny, Mark's werewolf pack, vampires in general and each other's decisions over the last few years. However, Aidan quickly lied to Kenny to protect Josh after the werewolf had accidently killed Kenny's girlfriend and both forgave each other for what they had said.
