Aaron was in the bathroom and he was looking at the marks and the scars on his body. He turned around and he looked over his shoulder, he saw the scars on his back and he touched one of them. He instantly had flashbacks of what he and Robert had been put through, it brought tears to his eyes and then he looked at the scar on his arm. The only thing left from the tattoo that Ed's friends gave him.
Robert heard the sound of faint crying and he knocked on the bathroom door. "Aaron? What's wrong, Baby?"
"Robert, I need you" Aaron said through his tears.
Robert opened the door and he saw that Aaron was looking at his scars. He walked over to Aaron and he placed his hands on his husband's shoulders "What are you thinking about?"
"I look horrible. I'm scarred and damaged, I got away from one abuser and then I was taken by another. What's wrong with me?" Aaron cried.
Robert kissed Aaron's shoulder "You're absolutely beautiful and you're so amazing. These just prove how strong you are and how brilliant you are. It's not your fault that Gordon and Ed were sick in the head, you've done nothing wrong and there's nothing wrong with you. You're my gorgeous husband and nobody and nothing will take you away from me".
"How can stand the sight of me? How could you want someone like me?" Aaron asked.
"I look at you and I see the most beautiful angel in heaven. I want you because I love you and nothing will ever change that." Robert said in a soft voice.
Aaron lifted his arms and he held onto Robert's hands "I love you too".
Once Aaron had calmed down, he and Robert talked about what they were going to do for the day. The decided to go canoeing, and it just so happened that Robert felt very mischievous that day.
Aaron and Robert had been on the water for only ten minutes, when Robert had an idea and decided to tease Aaron. Robert put his paddle down and smirked as he grabbed either side of the canoe, shaking it from side to side.
"Robert! Cut it out!" Aaron exclaimed as he stopped paddling and he looked back at Robert. "I mean it".
Robert just laughed and shouted, "EARTHQUAKE!" He began to tilt the boat.
The boat ended up toppling over onto it's side. Robert swam to the surface and met Aaron's angry face. Though Aaron could not stifle the laugh, as Robert bore his puppy dog eyes.
"Idiot!" Aaron exclaimed.
Robert was closer to Aaron and he laughed "I'm you're idiot".
Aaron rolled his eyes and he splashed Robert "You got that right".
Robert smiled and he grabbed Aaron, he pulled his husband close and he kissed him. He looked worried when their lips parted "Can you help me get back into the canoe?"
Aaron rolled his eyes and he flipped the canoe back up. He helped Robert back into the small boat, and then he got back into the canoe. They paddled back to shore after half an hour and they ignored the strange looks from the locals, they got back to the villa and Aaron went for a shower.
Aaron was in the shower and he was washing his hair when he heard the door open. He looked up and Robert walked in "I'll be out in a few minutes, Rob".
"You look very sexy." Robert pouted at the sight of his naked husband.
Aaron scoffed "If you say so. You're fit as well".
"Just watching you shower turns me on" Robert smirked.
"I'm turned on too. This shower's big enough for two people" Aaron hinted.
Robert took his shoes and socks off, he then stepped into the shower and he placed his hands on Aaron's hips. "You're a sight for sore eyes".
Aaron smiled and he put his arms around Robert's neck "You've got your eye on something that I have. And I've got my eye on something that you have."
Robert kissed Aaron and his husband unfastened his jeans and shirt. They passionately kissed as Robert pushed Aaron up against a wall.
After a few minutes, Robert stepped out of the shower and he wrapped a towel around his waist. Aaron turned the shower off and he stepped out, he wrapped a towel around his waist and he smiled at Robert.
"You look happy" Aaron stated.
Robert smiled and he walked over to Aaron, he wrapped his arms around his husband's waist and he kissed him "I am. You make me very happy".
Aaron smiled and he kissed Robert "You make me happy".
Later that day, Robert was stood next to the pool after he had just been swimming. Aaron saw an opportunity and he snuck up behind Robert.
"Bbaaaaahhhhhh!" Aaron shouted.
Robert jumped and Aaron pushed him into the pool, when he came up for air he looked up and he saw that Aaron was laughing "Aaron!"
Aaron jumped into the pool and he laughed "That was so good".
Robert swam up to Aaron and he sighed "Sneaky little grease monkey". He could not stay mad at Aaron, his husband was happy and he was laughing his head off. Robert could no help but laugh and he picked Aaron up.
Aaron wrapped his arms around Robert's neck and he smiled "Are you okay?"
Robert kissed Aaron "I'm okay. I love seeing you smile and I adore your laugh. My gorgeous Prince."
Aaron rested his head on Robert's shoulder "My knight in shining armour".
"How is it that you can always make my heart dance?" Robert asked and he cradled Aaron in his arms.
Aaron smiled "Because I love you so much. How is it that you can always cheer me up?"
"Because I love you so much" Robert said in a soft voice before he kissed Aaron's head.
The rest of the night consisted of Robert and Aaron having a romantic swim around the pool. They watched the sun set and they kissed a few times, they made each other laugh and they splashed each other. The joy on both of their faces could warm the heart of the toughest person alive.
