Robron [✔]

Part 1

Aaron's POV

The door knocked and Robert came through a few seconds later, and just seeing him made me feel happier. "Hey. What's up?" I asked, quite curious because he hadn't been around all day.

"Just came to see if you're okay, that's all." He looked like he hadn't been up long, and he was still sleepy.

"You know I'm fine, seriously Robert," I stood up, stretching, before sitting back down. "Um, Robert, we need to talk."

"Okay, what's up?" He asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Listen, I know you've been here for me, and I'm really grateful, but you were right, with the court case, and with everything that's been thrown at us, I think it shows that we should just be mates."

I was mentally kicking myself, because I know that I love Robert, but I was so scared that he would hurt me again and it kept me up at night. His face turned sad, but only for a split second, and if I wasn't looking at his face then I wouldn't have noticed that, nor the pain in his eyes. He covered it up with a smile. I knew Rob, I knew that it was a fake smile, and I felt even worse. There was a lump in my throat.

"Oh, well, if that's what you really want, A, then..." His voice trailed off as he looked down, and then looked up at me. "I'll leave you to it then, I'll talk soon."

I was slapping myself mentally as he turned around and closed the door behind him.

Robert's POV

I smiled at Aaron, but I think he knew it was false. I knew that I'd rejected him one too many times, even though it was the right thing to do, and he's finally given up on me. I only saw one way to forget the pain; get completely wasted. That's my way of solving problems.

I wanted to confess my love for Aaron right there and then, but I don't want to hurt him anymore, I've hurt him too much already. I didn't even get drunk at the pub, I wanted to stay with Aaron but I'd start crying, and I didn't want to be with anyone else, so I went to David's shop and bought as many beers as I could carry.

Victoria and Adam were at the pub, so I was on my own at home. I wish Aaron knew how much I loved him, I just want to cuddle with him. As soon as I got home, I started drinking.

Aaron's POV

I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to tell Robert that I love him but he'd rejected my kiss not long ago, wouldn't he'd reject me again? I'd leave it for a while, and then I'll call round to see if he's okay.

Everyone worries over me, but Robert drinks himself into oblivion when he's sad enough. I just want him to love me, he's got the divorce sorted with Chrissie, so we could openly be together. I thought Robert would have asked me by now, but I guess he just doesn't feel the same anymore.

Robert's POV

I'd drank all of the beer out currently, and I was just a bit drunk, when I heard the doorbell ring. I was confused as to who it was because no one would visit now, and Adam and Vic had keys.

Looking in the mirror, I just saw a mess. I was tripping over myself, my hair was ruffled from where I'd gripped it, and my eyes were red and puffy because I'd just been crying.

I don't cry much.

I heard the doorbell ring again, so I stumbled over to the door, and opened it. I rubbed my eyes, and I looked and it was Aaron. "Aaron, w-why are you h-here?" I slurred, I was surprised if he could understand what I'd just said.

"I came to see if you're okay, and obviously you're not because you stink of booze and you can hardly stand!"

"You're in a right state, Rob, even I don't get this drunk."

He walked in and I fell forwards on him, and he had to kind of carry me into the living room.

Aaron's POV

Robert was so hammered that he fell on me. His words were slurred and clearly he'd been crying, his eyes were still red. "Rob mate, have you been drinking by any chance?" I asked, sarcasm dripping from my words as I picked up one of the many empty cans.

"O-only a bit." he said, uncontrollably giggling for some reason.

"What's so funny?"

"R-remember when I got this drunk b-before, that was really funny!"

I still didn't get it. "It wasn't that funny mate." I replied, starting to giggle too as Robert's laughing became infectious. He looked adorable with his messy hair, even though he was completely pissed.

"A-aaron, can you get me the b-beers out of the fridge?" He asked, looking at me with his eyes half open.

Don't you think you've had enough? I'll have a few, too." Drunken bastard. I hadn't had anything to drink at all today, so why not?

Robert's POV

My head was spinning. Somehow Aaron had got from the sofa, to the fridge and back again without me noticing. "How much did you buy, Robert? Jesus Christ."

"All that I could carry, so a lot!" I was laughing and I didn't know why.

"You drink way too much, I swear down."

Another hour had passed and Aaron had just been talking to Adam and Vic, but they'd gone to bed, I presumed. My head was still spinning.

"W-where's Adam and Vic?"

"They've gone to bed, and I think you should do the same. But first, drink some water or you're not going to get up tomorrow." Aaron said as he passed me a glass of water. I didn't even see him go and get it. Reaching out, I almost spilt the water everywhere. Aaron grabbed the glass to stop it spilling. Our hands touched.

Aaron was only a bit tipsy, and we were both giggling. Neither of us had realised that we were both still holding the glass.

Aarons POV

I was starting to get drunk, so I stopped drinking and practically carried Robert up to his room.

"Why do I have to go to sleep now?" Robert asked.

"Shhhh, because it's late and you'll only fall asleep on the sofa anyway, won't you?" I replied, sitting Robert down on the bed. He was so drunk that he fell onto the floor, with a soft thud. I couldn't help but giggle. He dragged me to the floor too, making me giggle more.

"Aaron, I-I love you, you know? I wish that I could spend the rest of my life with you. We could buy a nice, a nice house and cuddle, and live happily ever a-after!" Robert said, fighting to keep awake.

"I love you too Rob, you're cute and funny and you make my mum go mad and that's pretty funny. I cant put it into words Robert." Maybe Robert wouldn't remember this. I hope he does. I don't just want to be friends.

"Come on Robert, get up" I said, using his bed to help me stand back up.

Robert's POV

Aaron helped me up, and went to go downstairs to leave.

"Robert, did you mean it? Do you love me?"

"Of course I meant it, I love you, Aaron." I replied. I felt so much better now that I'd seen him smile. Now I could go to sleep without the usual nightmares I'd had for a few months.

Aaron's POV

I felt so much better after hearing Robert say that. I stumble down the stairs and slowly pick up the empty cans, one by one, and put them all in recycling. I had no idea what time it was, but I had to get up for work.

I was so tired that I fell asleep on Adam and Vic's sofa. I hadn't even checked my phone in the hours that I'd been here and I could hear it faintly buzzing with notifications. I ignored it, drifting into a heavy sleep.
