Afterwards the couple just lay in bed;Robert had one arm around his sleeping boyfriend and the other holding Aaron's hand. He just watched Aaron sleep and he smiled "I love you so much Aaron" he kissed Aaron on the forehead and Aaron groaned in his sleep "I will never let you down again, I promise you. I will protect you for as long as I live". That night Aaron slept peacefully withouy having any nightmares and Robert fell asleep with a smile on his face as he held Aaron . At 8 o'clock Robert woke up, he kissed Aaron on the head ,Aaron smiled and opened his eyes "Sorry, did I wake you up? I couldn't help lt; you look so beautiful when you sleep". Robert Said in a soft voice.
Aaron smiled "I don't mind, i love waking up and seeing you beside me."
"You look happy" Robert said when he saw the smile on Aaron's face.
"I am happy, I had no nightmares and I have you" Aaron said in a tired voice.
"That's good. I was watching you sleep last night and you looked so sweet" Robert caressed Aaron's cheek.
"I needed that sleep, it's been a long few days" Aaron placed his hand on the scar that Robert had got from being shot.
"What is it?" Robert with a concerned tone in his voice .
"Were you scared when you were shot?" Aaron looked up at Robert.
"Yeah, I was scared. But I very scared when you collapsed at the scrapyard, I thought that I had lost you." Robert ran his fingers along the scars on Aaron's chest.
"You don't need to worry about me, Robert. I've managed to look after myself for years." Aaron placed his hand on Robert's and held it to his chest.
"I worry about you because I love you Aaron. You're everything to me." Robert pulled Aaron close and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you too Rob, thank you" Aaron snuggled into Robert.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm good a throwing cash around" Robert joked.
"You're great at something else" Aaron caressed Robert's chest.
"Yeah?" Robert smirked.
"Yeah" Aaron gave Robert a cheeky smile that Robert found very alluring.
"Well if that's true, I better do it again so that the feeling doesn't wear off" Robert rolled on top of Aaron "It's now my turn to be in control" Robert grabbed Aaron's wrists and moved them up so that they were at the same level as Aaron's head "If you don't want this just tell me" Robert looked down at Aaron.
"I want you, so you better hurry up before I lose interest" Aaron smirked.
"You don't need to tell me twice" Robert smiled and started to kiss Aaron's neck.
A few hours later Aaron and Robert walked back into the pub and they saw Chas talking to someone at the bar. Chas then turned to Aaron "Hiya love, are you two ok?".
"Hi mum. Yeah we're, but what's going on?" Aaron walked over and sat at the bar.
"Liv has gone missing. She came here last night looking for you" Sandra looked at Aaron with a worried look on her face "Where were you?"
"I was out all night with Robert. Anyway why is it my fault? Your her mum, it's not my job to keep tabs on her at all times"
"I thought that you would be here, I didn't think that you had anything else to do." Sandra was panicking that Liv was in trouble.
"Me and Robert will go and have a look around the village." Aaron and Robert walked out the door and started to search for Liv.
"Aaron!" Liv shouted as she ran up and hugged her brother.
Aaron grunted when he felt Liv crash into him and hug him "Liv where have you been? Your mum is worried" Aaron stroked the back of Liv's hair and he then looked at Robert.
"I was just walking around. I found some interesting graffiti over there" Liv pointed at a old shack and then she looked up at Aaron "Aaron was here."
"I was sixteen, give me a break." Aaron saw a smile on Robert's face "I did far worse then spray a wall with paint".
"I know I've heard the stories" Robert laughed.
They walked back into the pub with Liv and Sandra ran towards Liv and hugged her "She wasn't far but I'm going to need a new spine if you hug me like that again" Aaron sat at the Bar with Robert.
"Liv where have you been? I've going out of my head with worry" Sandra said.
"I was taking a walk around the village" Liv rolled her eyes and looked at Aaron for help.
"What are you even doing here? Why didn't you call to say that you were coming?" Aaron asked.
"I didn't think I had to. Where were you?" Liv looked at Aaron.
"err, I was on a date with Robert" Aaron looked at Robert and whispered "A little help please?"
"Am I not allowed to take my boyfriend on a night out?" Robert looked at Liv.
"And up comes my breakfast" Liv made a face at Robert.
"Sort your face out, or else I will go into detail" Aaron kissed Robert on the cheek and Robert put his arm over Aaron's shoulder.
"ew, I don't want to hear about my brother's love life" Liv took out her phone.
"Liv has been skipping school, and she has been talking back a lot" Sandra crossed her arms.
"Have people been bullying you?" Aaron placed one hand on Liv's shoulder.
"How do you know that people have been bullying me?" Liv looked at Aaron.
"Because I have been in lots of fights with people when they have said something that I didn't like" Aaron looked at Robert "Just ask Robert here."
"I used to be a bully to people especially Aaron I was a right ass to him two years ago. But he knows that I love him, I changed my ways for him" Robert put his arm around Aaron's back.
"What have they been saying?" Aaron asked.
Liv handed Aaron her phone and he scrolled through all of the messages "How long has this been going on for?"
"A few weeks." Liv started to cry.
"Right I'll sort this out" Aaron put Liv's phone in his pocket "I know who's number that is".
"Who is it?" Robert asked.
"Find Charity, I have a bone to pick with Noah" Aaron stood up. He and Robert both turned around when they heard the door open. And Charity walked in with Noah.
"Why do you look so miserable? Aaron you look like you are about to punch a door again" Charity laughed.
"What the hell were you playing at Noah?" Aaron was fuming.
"What are you on about?" Noah looked at Aaron with a confused expression.
"I know it was you" Aaron kneeled down so that Noah was looking to his eyes "You have been sending some mean messages to my sister".
"No I haven't." Noah avoided making eye contact with Aaron.
"Oh really, you won't mind if I have a look through your phone then" Aaron kept his voice low to intimidate Noah. Aaron then snatched Noah's phone out of his hand and he began to look through the messages "I would of thought that you would have been smart enough to delete them" Aaron showed the messages to Charity.
"It was just a bit of fun" Noah looked at Aaron with guilty eyes.
"Well it wasn't very fun for my little sister. Just look at her, she isn't laughing." Aaron pointed at Liv and then he turned back to Noah.
"What are you going to do?" Noah looked around at everyone.
"Well, we could let your mum sort you out. She's scary enough isn't she" Robert kneeled down in front of Noah "But she has nothing on me and Aaron, does she. I look after Aaron and his family and he looks after me and mine, you have heard the rumours about me. You also know that we are both fighters and that we always get our own way." Robert looked at the messages and then back at Noah "Now you are going to be nice to Liv and you are going to apologise to her" Robert straightened up and stood beside Aaron.
"Sorry Liv" Noah stared at the floor.
"Like you mean it, Noah" Robert looked at Aaron.
"I'm sorry for being mean to you. It won't happen again" Noah huffed.
"Good, because I don't think my brother is very happy with you" Liv nodded at Aaron.
Charity walked with Noah to the back room, Aaron and Robert sat at a booth with Liv "So what did you used to do to get into trouble for?"
"Spray painting houses, steeling, skipping school, getting into fights, deliver drugs to people, going to prison and meeting Robert" Aaron shook his head "I drove my mum and Paddy to breaking point".
"You were a right little rebel, weren't you. Robert smiled and put on arm around Aaron.
"What did you do?" Liv asked Robert.
"People just hate me. I was a right ass to a lot of people" Robert replied.
"How were you a bully?" Liv sat up to listen.
"I made fun of who Aaron was, and I did break his heart a lot." Robert looked at Aaron.
"Why did you go back to him then?" Liv asked Aaron.
"Because I love him. I just had to put up with him being a muppet" Aaron smiled at Robert "He still is a bit of a muppet".
"I have my uses" Robert smirked.
"Very true, but lets keep that between you and me. Because my sister won't want to know anything like that" Aaron whispered in Robert's ear.
"Tomorrow lets go to the theme park, just us three." Robert looked at Liv and then back at Aaron.
"Ok but I'm going on the teacups with you" Liv laughed.
"I bet that I will smash you at the dodgems" Aaron turned to Robert.
"I'm in trouble now, I'm a bit scared now" Robert smiled and kissed Aaron on the forehead "Aaron, can you hold my hand on the ghost train please?"
"Ok Rob, but we are going on the rollercoasters" Aaron laughed.
"Do monsters scare you?" Liv chuckled.
"Horror movies scare me altogether." Robert sighed.
"Why do you watch them then?" Liv raised one eyebrow.
"Because He finds it cute when I grab his hand, and he holds me tight when I'm scared" Robert kissed Aaron's hand "Plus I like it when he hugs me so I calm down".
"Your a big softy really, aren't ya Gorgeous" Aaron smiled at Robert.
"You just have a beautiful heart" Robert hugged Aaron. Marlon brought over their meals and they began to eat whilst Liv continued to make fun of how much horror movies scare Robert.
After they had eaten Sandra walked over to the table "Come one then" Sandra looked at Liv.
"I'm not moving to Dublin?" Liv stubbornly said.
"Liv. You're my daughter, and I know what's best for you" Sandra said.
"Please mum" Liv pleaded "Aaron" Liv looked at Aaron.
"She can stay here. I'll make sure that she goes to school and that she does all of her work" Aaron said "Mum can she stay?" Aaron looked at Chas.
"Of coarse she can stay" Chas sighed.
"Is this what you really want? I wont be angry with you if it is." Sandra looked from Chas to Liv.
Liv nodded and then she stood up and Hugged Sandra. Aaron then turned to Robert "Try and get on with each other, please?"
"I'll try, but we may need to have our fun in that barn again. Because it will be a bit awkward if she walks into the living room and I have you pressed up against the wall or you have me bent over the arm of the sofa" Robert whispered in Aaron's ear.
"Just remember to call me if you breakdown again. Because I may not be a mechanic anymore but that doesn't mean you won't get a freebie if the engine on your car cuts out again" Aaron whispered to Robert and then he winked at Robert.
Sandra then looked at Aaron "Aaron love. You don't know what you're letting yourself in for". Aaron then looked at her with a confused expression.
That night Aaron and Robert both lay in bed "What are you thinking about?" Robert asked.
"Just that I'm going to have to start being sort of a parent to Liv, if she is going to be living here" Aaron turned his head to the side to face Robert.
"As long as it doesn't come between us." Robert turned onto his side and he looked at Aaron.
"It won't. But you will have to put up with Liv being difficult" Aaron also turned onto his side to face Robert.
"I'd put up with anything for you" Robert held Aaron's hand.
"I'll probably start sounding like my mum" Aaron chuckled.
"As long as I still get those extras from time to time, then I'll manage" Robert smirked.
"You'll just have to breakdown more often" Aaron smiled.
Robert smiled and kissed Aaron of the forehead "Good night my Sexy grease monkey" Robert reached over and turned the bedside lamp off.
"Night, Gorgeous" Aaron said as he closed his eyes to go to sleep.
