Robron [✔]

Part 6

Roberts POV

I woke up to find Aaron clinging on to me like a koala bear, smiling in his sleep. It was good to know that a heavy weight had been lifted off of his shoulders, that he could he happy again. I started smiling too. He woke up briefly, hardly opening his eyes, and cuddled me tighter. How did I get so lucky? Aaron smiled at me, and said "Because I love you". " I didn't know I said that out loud, but I love you too" I replied, laughing a bit. Aaron joined in, and we were both laughing at god knows what hour.

Aarons POV

I loved how Robert thinks he's lucky to have me. I'm not exactly great, am I? He understands that I have issues, but he stands by me, and Robert's the only person I know who can actually make me feel better. The fact that he will go to any length to help me, even if it isn't the right way, makes me happy because someone cares. I just hated how I was letting Rob down because I'm not special like he thinks, I'm not a great person like he thinks. I'm nowhere near as good as Robert thinks I am. Once these thoughts started, they wouldn't stop, they would continue and make me really depressed about myself. I let go of the hug, and turned around 'in my sleep", and waited for Robert to fall asleep (or so I thought). I snuck out of bed, and went to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror, hating myself. Why do I feel like this? Why do I hate myself so much? I screamed at myself in my head.

Robert's POV

Aaron must have thought I was asleep, because he snuck off to the bathroom, with his head down. I looked up, concerned. He could just he going to the toilet.Aaron was strong. I know he was. He just didn't know, and that's what frightened me. I slowly got up, careful not to make any noise.I crept to the bathroom, and I heard Aaron crying, saying "Stop doing this to yourself, please stop doing this to yourself" in such a quiet voice I barely heard it. My heart sank. I thought Aaron was happy, obviously not. I came in, to find Aaron with a blade, and his torso in shreds. I actually broke down in tears, and to stop myself from whimpering, I put my hand over my mouth. I closed the bathroom door behind me, and slid down to the floor, ny hand still over my mouth. "A-Aaron, why?" I said, not saying anymore as I didn't trust my voice. Aaron was crying, too. There was a pool of blood on the bathroom floor. I slowly stood up, and walked over to him, and hugged him carefully, so I wouldn't sting his cuts.

Aaron's POV

Robert came over and hugged me, ever so gently, and I fell into it, sobbing, almost as much as he was. He looked at me, tears streaming down his face like two rivers, and asked me again. "Why? Why do this? I-is it me?". I cried more, and told him. "I'm not as great as you think, you're not lucky, are you? Look at me, I'm a mess!" I was crying so much, and I was beginning to feel faint. Robert pulled back, with his shirtless torso covered in MY blood, and looked at me. "You are great, and really strong, you just don't know it. I am lucky, I'm the luckiest guy in the world because I have you, Aaron!" He said, and looked at me pale face with concern. "We need to bandage these up, before you faint" he said again, and grabbed a roll of bandages from a cabinet. Robert wrapped the bandage around my torso, again and again until the bleeding stopped, and cleaned the blood off of the floor. "R-Robert, look down" I said, I could see his crimson chest through my blurred vision. I was feeling more faint. "Oh, right" he replied, but his words seemed far away, distant.

Robert's POV

I turned round, to the sink, and washed Aaron's blood off of my chest, and dried myself with a towel. Before I turned round, I heard a soft thud on the floor. "Aaron!" I said, a bit louder, hoping Chas wouldn't hear. Thankfully, she didn't, and I carried Aaron to his bed in a bridal position, and lay him down gently. I locked his bedroom door so that no one could come in and see the bandages. I couldn't do much, really, except stroke Aarons head and hope that he'd wake up soon.

Aaron's POV

I woke up, and the first thing I saw were bandages, wrapped all around my chest. Was I in hospital? I looked around a bit, and saw that I was in my room, and Robert was sat on the bed, next to me. I remembered what had happened, what Robert had saw and I nearly broke down. "You're awake then" Robert said, with a weak smile. "Yeah. Um, Robert, I'm sorry...for what you saw" I said, really sad. "Hey, its okay, at least I was there because you'd left the door unlocked, imagine if your mum saw!" Said Robert, and I smiled a bit. Even in serious times like this, he could always put a smile on my face. I went to get up, and winced in pain. Robert heard, and helped me up, making sure to be careful. He got me a shirt, and helped me into it, because he knew how painful it would be. "Are you in work today?" He asked. "In a bit, yeah, why?" I asked, confused. "There's no way you can go into work" said Robert. "I'll be fine!" I replied, going to sit on the bed and wincing. "Okay, fine. I'll call in sick" I said, and Robs face looked less concerned.
