"Who is this then?" Robert asked as he walked into the kitchen and saw a stout looking dog eating from a shiny metal bowl
"This is buddy he is our dog" he smiled proudly as he gave the dog a rub on the back of the neck
"Where did buddie come from?" He asked surprised Aaron stepped back shocked
"Paddy took him from a family who couldn't look after him anymore
"Oh okay" he said and smiled at Aaron and began laughing
"I love him nearly as much as I love you, you daft bugger" he laughed and kissed Aaron on the forehead and picked the dog up
"You need a much better name! I mean you're not a buddy! I think your a Charlie" he smiled snuggling the dog to his chest
"I love the name buddy I always wanted a dog named buddy" Aaron moaned and Robert rolled his eyes
"You know one day that look will wear off and I shan't just give in" he said as the pup in his arms began to yap And Aaron carried on making a cup of tea
"You know we should offer to buy this place off of Chrissie" Robert said and Aaron looked at him shocked And was silent
"A dog is one thing but a house? Are you sure? I mean do you really want to be stuck with me like that because I mean I wouldn't want to be and then there's my mood swings and my family" he explained and he began to breathe deeply and he knew he was starting a panic attack Robert sat next to him and put his hand on Aaron's knee
"Hey listen to me, I love you and all of your quirks and I want to live with you and love you and my new life" he smiled and Aaron's breathing levelled out
"Are you sure? I mean I'm still talking to the counsellor I've still got demons" he said admitting sadly and Robert lifted his hand gently to Aaron's chin and smiled at him
"You deserve a nice life, a good life, I understand the pain you've have endured in your life and I know that you love Jackson still but wouldn't he want you to be happy?" Robert asked instantly regretting what he had said about Jackson knowing that it was a sore subject, less sore than when they had both only just started being together And Aaron gently smiled at Robert
"It's okay, I think he would want me to have a happy ending" he smiled and kissed him passionately.
