Aaron's POV

Robert had taken care of me all day, telling anyone who asked that I had the flu, and so only my mum came up to talk, and I had my shirt on so my mum didn't get suspicious. I actually was really warm, because of the duvet, so I did have a temperature. She seemed to believe that I was ill, so she left me in peace for the rest of the day, for Robert to take care of me. That was a big step for my mum, she despised Robert. "Aaron, you're actually sweating" Robert said, laughing, but slightly concerned. "That's because I've got bandages on, and a thick shirt, and I'm covered by a really cozy duvet!" I replied, laughing too. "Well throw off the duvet, you're sweating, seriously" He said, laughing still. I did, gently as I was still in pain. ""Robert, get us a drink, pleaseeeee" I said, as I smiled innocently as I could. "Okay" Robert said, chuckling, as he went to get me one. As soon as he closed the door, I lifted up my shirt, and peeped through the bandages, wincing at what I saw. God, I had to go and do that! Why cant I just talk to Robert? He understands! I heard footsteps becoming louder so I pulled my shirt back down, just before Robert came back in with a glass of water.

Robert's POV

I came in, and gave Aaron his drink, and he said "cheers" as he drank it. He went to sit up properly, and winced again. "Aaron, we need to change those bandages soon you know, and clean up y-your wounds" I said, looking at Aaron. "Um, okay, just wait a minute, it's going to sting, innit?" He asked, obviously not wanting to be in any more pain. "Yeah, it will, but it's better than hospital, that's worse" I said, I didn't want to hurt Aaron, but if he didn't have them cleaned then they'd get infected, which would hurt him more. I went to the bathroom, and got some warm water, and a cloth. I came back in, and locked the door because Chas could walk in at any moment. "Right, if you're in pain whilst I'm cleaning your cuts, don't make any noise because your mum will hear, and she'll be worried" I said, looking at Aaron. "I know, I know" He replied, slightly worried. I brought over the water and the cloth.

Aaron's POV

Robert sat down on the bed next to me, and I lay down. He wet the cloth and ever so gently wiped my cuts with them, and it was so painful, my hands were in fists, I was trying not to yell. I could see pain on Robert's face, and I didn't know why. He was still cleaning the cuts, and I was digging my nails into my other hand. Robert had finally finished cleaning my cuts and he had to wrap a fresh bandage around my torso, covering all of the cuts. "There" he said, looking at me. "Thank you" I said, and I hugged him, and Robert hugged me back. I loved Robert's hugs. They made me feel safe. There was a knock at the door. "Are you alright, love?" I heard my mum ask. Me and Robert both panicked. Robert hid the water bowl and the cloth under my bed, and I quickly pulled on my shirt and got under the duvet, just before Robert unlocked the door. My mum walked in, to see me under the duvet still, and Robert going to sit on the bed. "Yeah, I still feel ill, though" I said. "Aw love, do you want me to call a doctor? See if you're okay?" My mum asked. "Erm no, I'm sure I'll be alright" I said, looking at Robert. "Yeah, its just the flu, it'll be gone in a few days" Robert added, with a smile. She looked at us for a minute, then walked out and went back downstairs.

Robert's POV

I turned around, and looked at Aaron. "Well, that was close" I said. "Yeah, it was. You might want to get rid of the bloody water and bandages, though" he replied, with a slight smile. I smiled back at him, before I went and got rid of the bloody water and the bandages. As I went to go back to Aaron's room, Chas stopped me. "Is Aaron actually alright?" She asked. "Well no, he's got the flu, but other than that, yeah..." I answered. "Alright, I was just asking" she said. "Well, he is fine, so..." I replied, walking back into Aaron's room. I put my finger to my lip, to tell him to be quiet, before I said "Your mums asking me if you're alright, she worries too much" I said, with my eyes wide. "I know she does, I've just got the flu, I'm not dying" he replied. After a few seconds, we heard Chas walking across the landing, and down the stairs. "She's suspicious" I said, looking down at my feet. "Really? Well as long as she doesn't find out about...well, you know...then she hasn't got much to be suspicious about"Aaron said, deep in thought. I sat on the bed next to him, and he gave me another hug, and I hugged him back. I loved hugging Aaron. I felt like I could protect him from anything whilst I was hugging him. He looked up at me, and kissed me, just a peck, and put his head on my shoulder as we hugged each other.

Hi guys! I know I've posted this the same day as the last chapter, nearly the next day, but I was bored and couldn't sleep. Will Chas accept that Aaron just has the flu? You'll probably find out tomorrow
