After the movie had finished Aaron turned the TV off, helped Robert up and they both walked up stairs to bed. That night Aaron had a nightmare, but this time it was about Robert.

At 2am in the morning Aaron woke up. "Robert!" Aaron screamed.

"Aaron. What is it?" Robert sat up to see what the matter was.

"Nightmare." Aaron was breathing hard and he turned to look at Robert.

"Was it worst then last night's Robert stroked Aaron's cheek.

"Yeah. I dreamt that you and I were in a room with… him; I was chained to the wall. You were on the floor and Gordon was beating you up, i was yelling at him to stop, I yelled leave him alone, take me, let him go you can have me."

Robert held Aaron's hand "What happened?"

Aaron took a deep breath and looked into Robert's eyes "he carried on kicking and punching you, until you stopped moving."

Aaron gulped "he stopped, and then he walked towards me". A tear rolled down Aaron's cheek "I was screaming, you opened your eyes and you looked at me and you shouted at him to stop." Robert brushed away the tears rolling down Aarons cheeks. "He turned around, looked at you grinned and then he shot you. And that's when I woke up."

"Aaron it was just a dream."

"But it felt so real, if anything like that ever happened to you, it would kill me Robert.

"Aaron, in a few hours he is going to face justice, and you will be safe from him"

"But what if he is found not guilty? What if he comes back?"

"Aaron. He will be found guilty and he will never come near you or me and this village ever again. Now we have a long day ahead, so just go back to sleep. I am here to protect you"

Aaron nodded "ok". For hours he tried to fall back asleep but, he could not get the image of Robert on the floor in a pool of blood and Gordon laughing out of his head. He hated the thought of his Robert being put at risk when he was protecting him, he could not bear to think about how much Robert had been hurt, the bruises and cuts on his face and chest stood out like a sore thumb. Aaron lay awake for hours just staring at Robert; he desperately tried not to take his eyes off of Robert terrified that something anything could happen at any time. At 7:00am Robert opened his eyes to see Aaron staring at him "morning babe." Robert said as he yawned.

"Morning, how are you feeling?"

"Robert lifted the duvet and looked at where the large bruise was on his stomach, "it still hurts a bit but I feel a lot better." Robert noticed the dark circles underneath Aaron's eyes and the fact that he looked pale, "hey, are you ok Aaron?" The young man noticed the concern in Roberts's voice and he shook his head.

"Is it that obvious?" I couldn't sleep"

"Did you have a nightmare?" Robert asked

"No, I was just too afraid to close my eyes"

"Why?"

"I couldn't get that image of you lying on the floor. Out of my head"

"Hey, nothing like that will ever happen to me or you" Robert held Aaron's hand and stroked it with his thumb.

"It already has"

"Aaron we are both alive and the only chains that we will see today are the handcuffs they put on Gordon when they take him to Prison" Robert kissed Aaron on the lips "right we better get dressed, before Chas comes up here and sees me without a shirt"

Aaron chuckled "I think you look fine without a shirt"

"Not as good as you"

Aaron helped Robert get out of bed and he helped him get dressed because Robert was still in a lot of pain from the bruises. Aaron then got dressed and he put some gel in his hair.

"Can you even live without putting gel in your hair?" Robert laughed

Aaron smiled and looked at Robert "nope. Why would I when it makes me look good"

"I think that you look great no matter what"

After Aaron and Robert were both dressed they walked down stair's to breakfast, though Robert had to walk with his arm over Aaron so that he would not fall over.
