At eight o'clock Aaron and Robert walked into the Woolpack, Aaron was wearing his green t-shirt and dark blue jeans. Robert was wearing his red shirt, his leather jack and blue jeans. They walked up to the bar and sat down, they ordered their drinks and Robert moved his stool slightly so that he was closer to Aaron. Chas noticed that they were sitting so that their arms were touching, she realised that they were trying to stay as close as they could, because they had nearly been separated.

"I'm gonna close up now. The others should be arriving soon" Chas explained.

"Okay. Mum, can you try not to mention what happened today please?" Aaron asked as he looked up from his drink.

"Sure, sweetheart. I've told Cain not to mention it" Chas smiled kindly at her son.

A few moments later the door opened... Robert' and Aaron's family walked in with smiles on their faces. Victoria walked up to Aaron and Robert and she hugged them as Chas poured everyone a drink and Charity started to play some music.

"Are you two ok?" Victoria asked as she pulled back from the hug.

"Yeah. The shock is still wearing off really" Robert answered as he put an arm around Aaron and hugged him.

"Adam said that you were hurt" Victoria looked at Aaron.

"I was burnt when I was trying to get Robert out of the barn. I'll be okay though" Aaron answered as he pulled his wrist to his chest.

Victoria noticed Aaron's actions. She realised that he was hurt a lot, but that he was not letting the pain show "Okay. I'm just glad that you're both safe.

As soon as Adam walked into the pub he made a B-line towards the bar and grabbed a drink before he sat next to Aaron. "Hey mate" he smiled.

"Hiya Adam. I saw that you went to get a drink as soon as you walked in her. You've got a problem mate" Aaron smirked.

"I've been working all day. I deserve a drink or two" Adam said in his defence.

"That's until two turns into eight shots, again" Robert said sarcastically.

"I'm only gonna have two. I'm not getting drunk tonight" Adam said as he sipped his drink.

Aaron and Robert looked at each other "How much do you wanna bet that he ends up dancing on a table again?" Aaron asked.

"I don't think he will". Robert answered.

"Ten quid that he starts to dance on a table after three drinks" Aaron betted.

"Okay, you're on" Robert shook Aaron's hand before they went back to talking to people.

After everyone had a few drinks Aaron and Robert sat at one of the booths as they continued to stay close to each other.

"This is my jam!" Adam shouted when Happy by Pherrel Williams started to play.

Aaron smirked as Adam climbed up onto a table "How many drinks has he had?" he asked.

"He's had three drinks" Cain answered.

Robert sighed as Aaron held out his hand. "Okay you win" he pulled out his wallet and put a ten pound note in his husband's hand.

"Thank you, handsome" Aaron put the money in his wallet and smiled at Robert.

"Are you gonna get drunk?" Robert asked as he put his arm around Aaron again.

"Nah, you can if you want to though" Aaron looked at Robert.

"Are you gonna carry me home?" Robert smirked.

"Only if I have to" Aaron smirked.

After a few hours Robert had joined Adam because he was now very drunk and singing along to Let it go with Adam. Aaron was sat in one of the booths, watching his husband and laughing at his drunken singing. Robert was a pretty good singer and he was hitting most of the right notes. However, Adam sounded like a very drunk cat in a blender as he screeched the high notes of the song whilst doing all of the actions from the movie.

"Looking good Robert!" Aaron yelled to his husband.

"Thanks, beautiful" Robert walked and sat next to Aaron.

"You drunk yet?" Aaron asked.

"Yep. I'm completely wasted" Robert said as he leaned against Aaron.

Aaron looked at Robert and smiled "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Going to sleep" Robert answered.

"Do you want to go home then? It's been a long day" Aaron asked.

"Okay" Robert said in a sleepy voice.

"Alright. Let me stand up a sec" Aaron smiled.

Robert moved and Aaron stood up. However Aaron noticed that Robert was unsteady on his feet and that he was stumbling a bit whilst standing.

"Right, come on. I'll carry you home" Aaron walked over to Robert. "Put your arms around my neck" Aaron instructed and Robert obliged "Three, two, one jump" Aaron said before Robert jumped, he grabbed his husband's legs and held them up. But then he felt Robert snuggle into him "You okay back there, handsome?" Aaron smiled.

"Yeah, you have a very comfy back" Robert answered.

"With the amount of stuff that we get up to... thank god" Aaron then walked over to the door "I'm gonna call it a night, mum. This one's shattered" Aaron smiled at Chas.

"Okay, sweetheart. See ya soon" Chas smiled "Robert and Aaron everybody!" Chas shouted over the music and everyone started to clap and cheer.

Aaron walked out of the Woolpack carrying Robert. They had just got back to their house when Aaron heard Lawrence behind him.

"You're not going to get away with making up lies about my daughter" Lawrence said.

Aaron opened the front door and walked in, he laid Robert down on the sofa before he walked back to the door and he saw Lawrence. "I haven't made up any lies about anyone" Aaron stated.

"You know perfectly well that she would not do any of the things that you have lied about. She would never stoop that low" Lawrence raised his voice.

"I have the scars to prove it" Aaron rolled up his sleeve and showed Lawrence the scar that he had gotten from being cut by the leader of his and now Robert's attackers.

"You could've done that yourself. You have form for mutilating you body. You have no proof against Chrissie" Lawrence scoffed.

"Cain and Moira arrived at the scrapyard when me Robert were being attacked. Two men held Robert back as their leader touched me and kissed my neck. He also bit my neck but I didn't say anything because it would've made Robert feel bad. He also pressed himself against me but Cain chased them away. Robert actually blamed himself because of what happened. I had to pull my husband out of a burning building because of your daughter" Aaron stated as he glared at Lawrence.

"Oh so justice has been served then? Good" Aaron shut the door and smirked.

"I promise you that I will get the best lawyer money can buy, and that you will get what you deserve for ruining Chrissie's life!" Lawrence snapped at Aaron and prodded him in the chest.

Aaron scoffed "You can throw ever last penny you have at the jury. Chrissie has more lies stacked against her then I have scars. I have all the proof that I need for Chrissie to go to prison for a long time after everything that she has put me and Robert through over the past year. She almost got me killed twice and I could've been raped if my uncle hadn't have saved me and Robert. She held a gun to my head and told me to shut up whilst I was having a panic attack and then she turned it on Robert. I hope that the judge throws the god damn book at her!" Aaron then opened the front door and walked in. He slammed the door shut in Lawrence's face before he walked over to the sofa and picked Robert up. He carried his husband upstairs and laid him on the bed: Aaron took off Robert's shoes, his socks, his jacket, he unbuttoned his shirt and pulled off his jeans before he pulled the duvet over Robert. Aaron then put his pyjamas on and climbed into bed beside his husband. He turned the bedside lamp of and cuddled Robert to him "I love you, my little solider" Aaron kissed Robert's head and then closed his eyes to go to sleep.
