One morning Robert woke up one morning and looked at Aaron. He smiled when he saw that his husband was still fast asleep, he had the urge to kiss him but Aaron did have a peaceful night's sleep in a long time. So he slowly lifted the covers and got out of bed and pulled some jeans on before he opened the door. However when he opened the door it creaked, Robert froze in his spot and looked over his shoulder.
"Robert" Aaron groaned in his sleep as he turned onto his front.
Robert let out the breathe that he had been holding in and he slipped through the gap in the doorway and slowly shut it. He then tiptoed to the staircase and walked down them. He walked into the living room and opened his laptop. The wallpaper on the front of his laptop screen made him smile because it was a picture of him and Aaron on their wedding day. Robert had his arms around Aaron's chest and his chin resting on Aaron's shoulder with a smile on his face. Aaron was holding Robert's wrists with both hands and his head was tilted slightly so that it was touching Robert's head. Robert could remember everything about that day and how he was terrified that he would never be able to marry the man he loved because of the terrible car crash that they had only two years ago. He could remember the fear in Aaron's eyes when he woke up in the submerged car, he could hear the terror in Aaron's voice when he discovered that he was trapped under the steering collar. Robert thought back to when he was struggling to free Aaron from the sinking car, after what felt like hours Robert had managed to free Aaron and he swam up to the surface of the lake with Aaron's lifeless body in his arms. He could see Aaron's eyes closing in his mind's eye and he could hear the loud beeping of the heart monitor in his ears. He forced the thought of Aaron dying out of his mind and he checked his email.
Robert sighed when he received an email from his ex wife, he opened the email "Dear Robert. How dare you take our house, you are a piece of work to sink this low. I could bring your whole world crashing down with just a click of my fingers. I could make you lose everything with just one phone call. Like what happened to Andy. Watch your back" Robert read as he cupped his hands over his mouth before he slammed the lid shut.
"What's up with you?" Asked a tired voice.
Robert looked over his shoulder and saw Aaron "Hey babe, how'd you sleep?"
Aaron walked over to Robert "I slept alright for once. You did kick me a bit last night though, that woke me up. I have " He said before he lowered his head and kissed Robert. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Another email from Chrissie, don't worry about it" Robert answered.
"What has she said this time?" Aaron asked as he sat down next to Robert.
"Just that she could take away everything I love" Robert looked worried.
"Well I'm defiantly not going anywhere, I can promise you that. You'll always have me" Aaron smiled reassuringly as he held Robert's hand.
"What would I do without you?" Robert smiled as he stroked his husband's hand with his thumb.
"I've been asking myself the same question about you for two years" Aaron smiled softly.
"Sorry for kicking you last night, I had a bad dream" Robert frowned.
"Was it about the crash?" Aaron asked.
"Yeah, you scared the life out of me that day. I couldn't bear it if I'd lost you" Robert kissed Aaron's hand and held it to his lips.
"You'll never lose me, I'm staying here with you" Aaron said with a kind look in his eyes as he pulled Robert into a hug.
They hugged for a moment until they made some breakfast and they went to work. They got to the scrap yard Aaron started getting to work on scrapping a car and Robert was on the phone to some new clients. After a few minutes Robert stepped out of the portercabin and saw Aaron working.
"That's a very nice sit to see at 11 o'clock in the morning" Robert pouted at the sight of Aaron bent over a car.
Aaron looked over his shoulder and saw that Robert was looking at him "Only you would say that" Aaron said as he got back to work.
"For once in my life actually I'm telling the truth" Robert walked over and placed his hands on Aaron's hips "Though... I was telling the truth when I said that I loved you".
Aaron straightened up "You're in a good mood aren't you?" Aaron smirked.
"I am when I see you in one of my favourite positions" Robert said as he pressed himself against Aaron.
Aaron groaned when he felt Robert's hard on "We can't do this here" Aaron let his head fall back.
Robert started to kiss Aaron's neck "Are you complaining?" Robert asked as he pressed harder against Aaron.
Aaron swallowed against the lump in his throat "No, I'm not complaining" he groaned.
Just then they heard a car and Robert quickly moved away from his husband. Aaron sighed because he did not want Robert to pull away from him. He craved Robert's touch and his body pressed against his own.
"Hey you two. How are you?" Victoria asked as she got out of her van.
Robert put his hands in his pockets and walked off in a sulk. "Robert!" Aaron called but Robert just walked into the portercabin and shut the door.
"What's up with him?" Victoria asked as she approached Aaron.
"He had a bad dream last night, it's affected him a lot today" Aaron took his gloves off and sat down on a pile of tyres.
"Was it about when you two crashed into the lake?" Victoria asked.
"Yeah, that crash still haunts him" Aaron frowned.
"He was terrified that he'd lost you that day, you could see it in his eyes. A actually went back to the lake and dived back in just to find that ring" Victoria pointed at Aaron's wedding ring.
Aaron looked at his ring and smiled "He told me. He got it engraved before we got married".
"I just came to drop this off" Victoria handed Aaron a box of chocolates.
"Cheers Vic, but why?" Aaron asked.
"Because Adam owes you for going off in a strop yesterday" Victoria rolled her eyes.
"Good point" Aaron smiled.
"Oh uh, just to warn you... Chas was watching One born every minute yesterday and she had a bit of a cry" Victoria gritted her teeth.
"What? Why? Is she ok?" Aaron became concerned for his mum.
"She got slightly drunk and started singing that she wanted to be a grandmother" Victoria answered.
"To be fair... I always wanted to be a dad, but I didn't grow up with a good role model to show me how. I wouldn't know how to look after a child when my childhood was stolen from me" Aaron said with sadness in his voice.
"You'd be a great dad. Does Robert know?" Victoria asked.
"He'd run a mile, he won't want to adopt a child" Aaron said as he stood up.
"How do you know if you don't ask him?" Victoria crossed her arms.
"Because I'm afraid that I wouldn't be a good dad and that our marriage wouldn't last, the crash almost ripped us apart" Aaron admitted.
"Just ask him. You might be surprised" Victoria smiled before she walked back to her van and drove off.
Aaron walked to the portercabin and opened the door, he walked in and found Robert sat at his desk looking very grumpy and sorry for himself. "Any reason why you're sat at my desk?" Aaron asked.
Robert looked up "I just needed to sit down. I hate being interrupted when I'm with you" he huffed.
"Likewise, Vic just came to drop these off" Aaron put the chocolates down on the desk.
"Well at least I get something out of my misery" Robert huffed as he opened the box and started to eat the chocolates.
Aaron smirked "Alright, take it easy on the chocolates" he said as he sat on the edge of his desk and slowly pulled them away from Robert.
"But I'm comfort eating" Robert said in a pouty voice.
"Well stop, because I want to eat some of these" Aaron smiled.
"I feel miserable. Only chocolate can make me feel better" Robert slouched in his seat.
"Oh really?" Aaron stood up and crouched down in front of Robert "So even my puppy dog eyes won't help?" Aaron made puppy dog eyes at Robert.
"Nope, not looking" Robert closed his eyes tightly.
"Oh come one. You know that you want to look" Aaron smirked.
"Nope, no. You're not gonna get me this time" Robert shook his head.
"Please be happy. Pretty please" Aaron stuck out his bottom lip out.
Robert smiled and opened one eye. His heart melted when he saw Aaron's pouty face "Why does that face always get me?" Robert sighed.
"Because I'm adorable?" Aaron smiled.
"Too adorable" Robert rolled his eyes.
"You love it really" Aaron stood up.
Robert stood up and grabbed Aaron's hoodie. He pulled him closer and wrapped his arms around Aaron's waist "I just love you. But your eyes just make me melt".
"Well at least I can do something right" Aaron scoffed.
"You do something else right in my book" Robert smirked.
"Is that so?" Aaron smiled.
"Mmmm" Robert leaned in and kissed Aaron passionately.
They did a few hours of work before they drove back to the village. They walked into the Woolpack and saw Chas at the bar. They walked over and sat at the bar. "Hiya mum, can we get two pints please?"Aaron asked.
Chas looked up and immediately burst into tears before she ran into the backroom. Aaron and Robert both looked at each other in confusion and Marlon looked very confused as he walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates.
"Here we go again" Marlon rolled his eyes.
"What just happened?" Robert asked.
"I'll be back in a few minutes" Aaron said as he stood up.
Robert loosely grabbed hold of his husband's wrist "You're forgetting something" he hinted.
Aaron smirked as he kissed Robert and then walked around the bar and into the backroom. He opened the door and found Chas sat at the dining room table. He walked over and sat next to her "What's wrong mum?" he asked.
"It's stupid but I want to be and grandma" Chas sobbed.
"It's not stupid. Because I want to be a dad" Aaron said in a calm voice.
Chas looked at her son "Does Robert know?"
"He'd run for the hills if I said that I wanted to adopt" Aaron sighed.
"I can ask him if you want" Chas became excited.
"That would just make it worse. He'd think that I'm afraid of him or something" Aaron stubbornly said.
"But you do understand my point, right?" Chas nodded.
"Yes I get your point. You want to be a grandma but I can't have kids with Robert" Aaron rolled his eyes.
Just then Robert walked in "Is everything alright?" he asked as he walked over to the table.
"Yeah we're alright now" Aaron answered as Chas stood up and walked back to the bar.
Aaron stood up and he stood next to Robert "She's been having a rough couple of days, she'll be okay though" he said in a soft voice.
"Do you know what cures my rough days?" Robert asked as he stepped behind Aaron. He wrapped his arms around his husband's waist as he spoke.
"An expensive bottle of vodka?" Aaron smiled.
"That just makes me wimpy. But no, the thing that cheers me up is..." Robert started.
"Sex with me" Aaron interrupted.
"Well yes, that does help a lot" Robert rolled his eyes. "But I was going to say... annoying the hell out of you!" he picked Aaron up and started to walk to the bar.
"Robert!" Aaron laughed as he playfully kicked. He then noticed that Robert was carrying him to the bar "Nooo! Robert put me down!"
"We need to cheer Chas up, so in other words. No" Robert smiled.
"SUGDEN!" Aaron shouted.
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards where the shouting was coming from. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Aaron with his arms crossed as he is being carried by Robert. Chas cupped her hands over her mouth as she laughed. Robert stopped in front of Chas and he put Aaron down.
"Did that help?" Robert chuckled.
Chas nodded "Yeah. Aww, look at his cute little embarrassed face".
Aaron turned around and hid his face in Robert's chest. "At least it worked" Aaron murmured into his husband's chest.
"Are you shy?" Robert asked as he put one arm around Aaron's shoulders.
"I don't look good today, and yes I am shy" Aaron answered.
"You look beautiful" Robert smiled as he wrapped his other arm around Aaron "Aww, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" Robert kissed the top of Aaron's head.
"I'll forgive you. But I'm gonna get you back at some point" Aaron lifted his head and looked at Robert.
After they had their drinks they drove home. They walked into their house and Aaron went into the living room. Robert walked in and stood in the doorway.
"Am I still in the doghouse?" He asked when he saw Aaron sat on the couch.
"Yeah, you are" Aaron answered.
Robert smirked as he got down on all fours and slowly crawled over to Aaron "Even now?" he asked.
"You're unbelievable" Aaron smirked.
"So is what you do to me" Robert kissed Aaron on the lips. As their kiss grew more passionate Aaron pushed himself off of the couch and he sat on the floor. Robert placed his hand on the top of Aaron's thigh and his other hand on the back of his husband's head. Robert gently guided Aaron to the side so that he was lying down on the floor. Robert put on leg over his husband and straddled him "Gggrrr" Robert growled as well as showing teeth.
Aaron laughed as he unbuttoned Robert's shirt and tore at his belt. "You're in a very playful mood today".
"You bring out the animal in me" Robert smirked before he kissed Aaron again. Robert broke the kiss and he unfastened Aaron's belt and pulled down his jeans. Robert lowered his head again and their lips met, Robert smoothed his hand under his husband's shirt and caressed his skin, he rolled up his husband's shirt and began to plant soft kissed on his chest and stomach. Aaron moaned when he felt Robert's soft, wet lips on his skin, he pushed down his boxers and bent his knees either side of Robert. His husband noticed that Aaron had given his consent so he placed his hands either side of Aaron's head to balance himself and he let his husband push down his underwear. Once he had been stripped of his clothes Robert moved forward and pushed himself into Aaron.
Aaron gasped when he felt Robert enter him. He closed his eyes tight as Robert started to thrust. "Uunngghh" Aaron groaned.
Robert stopped and looked down at Aaron "You okay babe?" he asked.
Aaron nodded "Yeah, please don't stop" he opened his eyes.
"No problem" Robert smiled as he lowered his head and kissed Aaron. He then started to thrust in and out of Aaron again. He loved to give Aaron pleasure and to make him feel good, he had realised a long time ago that his purpose in life was to make Aaron happy, to keep him warm at night and to love him.
Afterwards Aaron and Robert were lying on the floor with a blanket covering them. Robert had one arm around Aaron and was gazing into his eyes. Aaron was lying on his side and stoking Robert's chest with his hand whilst he had his other hand under his head. Their legs were tangled together as their naked bodies pressed together. Robert sighed as he became entranced by his husband's big blue eyes.
"What's wrong?" Aaron asked.
"Hhmm, nothing's wrong" Robert answered as he was knocked out of his trance.
"What were you looking at?" Aaron asked in a soft voice.
"I was just looking into your gorgeous eyes" Robert smiled.
Aaron smiled and blushed at Robert's compliment "We finally managed to get our alone time today".
"Yeah, my animal instinct was getting very frustrated" Robert stated.
"So basically... you've been turned on all day because of me" Aaron raised one eyebrow.
"Why do you think I was comfort eating earlier?" Robert asked in a joking manner.
"Aww, you went off in a strop when we didn't have sex" Aaron laughed.
"I can't help the fact that you get me all worked up when I'm around you" Robert smiled at his husband.
"I love you" Aaron smiled.
"I love you too" Robert said as he placed one hand on the side of Aaron's face and kissed him.
