I don't own Emmerdale or any of it's characters...I just wish I did...they belong to ITV

Adam was fed up, fed up of hearing about Jackson. He loved Aaron cos he was his best mate but he just wished that they would get there acts together. It was clear to see that they both still clearly wanted each other so why not just stop beating around the bush and speak to one another about it. He had arranged this BBQ for this Friday more than anything to get Aaron off of his back but he was looking forward to it. It would mean that he gets to see Flynn for more than an hour. They had both been busy lately and not really had much time for one another and he was missing him. He wasn't sure if things between them were ok or not. The last time they had spoken things had been a little awkward between them and he was just hoping it was because they hadn't really seen each other and not sumat else. This was possibly the main reason it was bugging him about Aaron, it just seemed like it was always Aaron going on about Jackson and even though the mechanic had asked him about Flynn he felt like he couldn't really talk to him about it so he said that everything was fine between them.

'Wow! I mean...Wow!. Its only been what like a few months, are you serious and sure that this is what you want?'

Flynn just shook his head. He really did want his.

'Again wow! Who'd av thought eh little Flynn falling in love and so quickly too. I'm sure once upon a time you told me I was stupid for falling too hard and fast.

'Yeah, yeah' he said rolling his eyes. 'it's just a shame you're not walking in my footsteps this time eh. I mean come on Jackson you and Aaron have been beating around the bush long enough now, don't you think it's about time you both stopped playing these silly games. If you want him then get him. And it's clear that you do.'

'And again wow! There is no stopping you tonight is there. First you tell me that you are madly in love with Adam, then you tell me you want to ask him to move in with you and Then you tell me how to run my own love life. No seriously though I am happy for you and I hope everything works out for you two, he is a really nice guy and as for me and the hot headed mechanic. Well it's my fault we are like we are, I was the one to end it. If I hadn't been so stubborn and actually listened to him then we would be ok now but nope not me not Jackson Walsh. I had to do I my way.'

'you know that's not true Jackson. Aaron was the one that used his fists. Yeah I agree you should have listened to him but it's too late now ain't it all you can do is try and fix it. If it's what you really want.'

'It is Flynn, I miss him. I know we weren't together long but we were together long enough for me to realise that he was special. I can see a real future with him. I just don't know how to get it back and I don't even know if he wants me back!'

'well there is only one way to find out ain't there' Flynn said picking up his phone. He had just received a text message. 'Adam is having a BBQ this Friday, you should come.'

'Yeah maybe, we will see.'

Jackson had decided to go back to work, he had nothing better to do and he needed to get Dale Head finished. Declan had another job lined up for him just as soon as this one was done. That wasn't the only reason he went back to work though. He liked it in the village, the more time he spent there the more he wanted to be there. Most of the locals were nice enough, yeah some of them were nosey busy bodies but you got that anywhere you went but the main reason he wanted to spend more time there was because it housed Aaron and it would seem like apart from the odd occasion in town this would be the only place to track the mechanic down. Not that he had planned on speaking to him, he still wasn't sure where the ground stood with them but he got to see him and that would just have to be enough for now.

He was happy, he had finally got Adam to decide when he was having this BBQ now he just needed to find a way to invite Jackson. Did he text him or ask him in person, he wasn't sure. He had decided that instead of playing silly games with the builder he was just going to be his friend, he couldn't decide on the best way to win him back so he thought that if they could start off with being friends and spending time with each other then maybe just maybe it would lead to something else. He really didn't;t want to mess up this time with the builder he really liked him. He would even go as far as saying he had feelings for him. He didn't know what them feelings were but they were feelings.

He was just heading to the pub when he saw Jackson pull up outside Dale Head. That was it he thought, perfect timing. He would just go ask him in person

'Hi mate. I was just err...guna see if you maybe...if you wanted to...' just spit it out he thought, why couldn't he just ask one simple question. 'Do you wanna come to err...Adam is having a get together on Friday...would...would you like to come ?'

Jackson thought it was cute the way that the mechanic was tripping over his words, he'd not seen this side to Aaron for a while.'Err yeah...yeah I'd like that' he said with a smile.

'Yeah' the mechanic couldn't help but smile at that. He thought the builder would have turned him down straight away. 'cool well I'll text you later on about the time and stuff yeah?'

'Yeah, make sure you do, you never know maybe we could even go at the same time. Maybe together like, I'll pick you up and drive us up there'. Not sure if Aaron would want this but he had asked him if he wanted to go so he thought he would give it a try.

'Yeah...I'd like that...I'd like that a lot.' and with that Aaron turned on his heels and walked of to the pub.
