Robert slowly cracked his eyes open, the sleep making his vision sore. With the quietest of yawns, Robert realised where he was. He smiled upon realising that Aaron was spooned against him. He sent his fingers through the man's hair and kissed his head ever so lightly. Content with himself, Robert slowly drifted back off to sleep, unaware that his lover was having a nightmare.

Aaron winced as an unknown, shadowed man grasped his wrist roughly and dragged him to some unknown place. Aaron didn't know what was going on nor where they were going but he knew that it was bad. "No! Stop! Please!", Aaron cried out only to feel himself being jerked.

The shadowed man turned to speak but the words that came out was not his own but that of one close to him. "Aaron? Babe, wake up! It's just a dream!"

Aaron woke up and coughed on his own tears as Robert embraced him. "It's okay, I'm here", Robert soothed Aaron who began to calm down. "Want to talk about it?", the older man asked.

Aaron shook his head, "No, I don't really know how to explain it right now".

Robert sighed and nodded, feeling a bit useless, "Alright but I am here if you need me".

Aaron smiled and kissed Robert on the cheek, "I know and thank you".

7 am, After the two were changed and ready for the day, they progressed down the stairs. Chas was busy in the kitchen and Aaron was more than keen to help, however, as he reached the said room.

Liv came rushing down the stairs with anger written on her face. "Oh goody! The lazy bones is finally awake!" she then turned and she glared at Robert "Don't mind the game reference, old people like you won't get it".

'I'm only in my early thirties, I'm still able to fuck my boyfriend like there's no tomorrow' Robert thought as he raised an eyebrow at Liv "What?"

Liv rolled her eyes and began to march back up the stairs, "I need help with my homework, Lazy Bones!"

Aaron scoffed and left his original goal of helping his mother to deal with his little sister, "Coming, you little soul killer!", he hissed in a jokingly manner.

Robert cast a confused glare on Aaron only to be ignored.

Chas walked out of the kitchen drying her hands on a towel as Aaron trudged up the stairs. "It's a computer game, old people wouldn't know about it", she said in a monotone before going out to get something from the shop.

"What?!", Robert shouted at the door as it slammed shut, leaving him to sulk by himself. "I'm not old!"

A few seconds passed before Robert's phone went off, signalling that he had received a text. He sighed as he reached I to his pocket and he pulled his phone out, he smiled when he saw that Aaron had sent him a text and he opened the message.

'Aaron: Sorry about ignoring you, I'll give a kiss or two in a bit as an apology.

Robert: Looking forward to it. Do you think that I'm old though?

Aaron: Nah, you're fit. You also too good at fucking me to even be considered as old x.

Robert: I love you so much x

Aaron: I love you more x'

Robert put his phone into his pocket and he picked up his wallet and keys before he grabbed his jacket and he walked to the back door "I love you the most!" he yelled up the stairs to Aaron.

A few seconds passed before Aaron yelled back to Robert...

"Impossible! I love you more than anything!" Aaron yelled.

"Nothing and no one comes close to how I feel about you!" Robert smiled as he waited for Aaron to reply.

"You are it for me! Now get to work before I Nicola barges in and has a go at us!" Aaron joked, he chuckled as he ignored the glare that Liv was giving him.

Robert chuckled "Fine, see ya later!" he then opened the back door and he went to work with a happy grin and a loved-up heart.
