Robert's POV

Adam drove us all home, dropping me and Aaron off at our house. Aaron helped me out, and handed me my crutches. "So how long do I have to be in this?" I asked, as we got inside. "Erm, about 6 weeks" Aaron replied, and he laughed at the reaction on my face. "I'll bloody forget how to walk!" I said, sitting on the couch. "Do you want a cup of tea?" Aaron asked, his head peeping out of the kitchen door to look at me. "Er yeah go on then" I answered, as I looked for something to watch on TV. "Doesn't having a fractured leg mean you have to take care of me?" I asked, smiling as innocently as I could whilst Aaron laughed. "Only a little bit, you're not paralyzed, you have to tie a bag over your leg when you get in the shower, to protect the cast, and you might need help getting up and down the stairs" Aaron replied. "Ooh, listen to you, Mr smarty pants" I said in a high pitched voice, and I started laughing. "Shut up King Smugden" Aaron retorted."You know what this means? I can steal the duvet and you can't do shit" he said, and we both started laughing. "It also means I cant get bear hugged" I said, and Aaron just looked at me and said "Yes you can, I'll bear hug you whenever I want". Before I could reply, Aaron had wrapped his arms around me.

Aaron's POV

I'd wrapped my arms around Robert, and we started laughing again. In about 5 minutes, the hug had turned into a cuddle. My head was on Roberts chest, and he was resting his head on top of mine, and he'd wrapped his arms around me too. Robert had tuned on the TV, and we were watching a random TV show, when I felt his head lift off of mine. I looked up, and saw him smiling at me. "What?" I asked, curious. "Just moments like this, you know? I love spending time with you, watching something, cuddling, I love-" I cut him off as I kissed him, and Robert hugged mw tighter as he kissed me back. I broke off, and said "I love spending time with you too, Rob", smiling at him as I put my head on my chest. My phone went off, and as I went to see what it was, I saw the time. 01:43. "Shit, Robert its nearly 2 in the morning!" I said, getting him up. I helped Robert up the stairs, like a 3 legged man. I helped him into the bedroom, and into his pajamas, and then into bed. I went and got his crutches and brought them up the stairs, propping them against the wall near Robert's side of the bed. I got changed myself, and got into bed. "So, for 6 weeks you have to help me up the stairs and change me into my clothes? I feel like a 3 year old" Robert said, and I laughed. "Nah, its not that bad really. Also, I have to help you into the shower" I replied, and we both giggled like a pair of school girls. We practically just giggled until we fell asleep!

Robert's POV

I woke up next to Aaron. It was early, and he wasn't awake yet. He always went and got coffee, so I decided to it instead. I left him a note, and I got changed and went out. I looked before crossing the road, and I was in the middle of it. I saw a car, a large black one. It was revving. It came straight at me. Before it hit me, I saw the driver. Time stood still, I couldn't move. I saw Chrissie in the driver's seat. In my head, I was screaming at her. "You bitch! I never loved you! I only married you because I was scared of my sexuality! It was me who went after Aaron, stop blaming him! Fuck you!". I finished screaming in my head, and it was like someone pressed a button. Time started again. I had a second and then I was hit. I hit my head and the world went black.

I woke up, and immediately sat up in bed, and screamed, surprisingly low pitched. I was gripping the duvet covers, and Aaron woke up too, saw me, and said "Robert! What's wrong?!". Before I could answer, I turned around, and hugged Aaron, clinging to his shirt. He hugged me, and stroked my head. "I had a really fucked up dream. I was going to get the coffee when I was hit. But everything was like...frozen, and I saw Chrissie driving her car and I was screaming and shouting things at her, like 'fuck you!' And then everything unfroze, and then I was hit, and then I woke up" I explained, clinging tighter to Aaron's shirt, and he hugged me tighter, so I started to calm down. "M-maybe it was Chrissie?" Aaron asked, looking at me. "M-maybe, yeah" I replied, still clinging to Aaron's shirt. I realised, and I let go, and hugged him properly, resting my head in his shoulder as he rested his head on mine. I glanced over at the alarm clock, and saw that it was nearly morning. 5:48. "You know its nearly 6?" I asked, looking at Aaron. "Yeah, oh well" he replied, and I smiled. "Are you alright now?" Aaron asked, holding my shoulders as he looked at me. "Yeah, just a bad dream, isn't it?" I replied, and we both smiled. I was really anxious though, what if it was Chrissie? She had every reason to, I'd paid Ross to fake a burglary, and he'd got Aaron involved. I'd had an affair, I'd broken her heart. But to be honest, I wasn't bothered about that. Aaron was all that mattered. "I'm gonna get a shower" I said, and went to get up, not thinking about my leg. Aaron realised and grabbed my shirt before I stood up.

Aaron's POV

"Your leg is in two, I wouldn't stand on it" I said, letting go of Roberts shirt to get up and pass him his crutches. "Thanks, would have had to go to the hospital before next week!" He replied, chuckling nervously. I helped him get out of his clothes, grabbed him a towel and put the protective bag around his cast. I turned the shower on, adjusted the heat, and helped Robert get in. "Are you alright to stand like that?" I asked. "Er yeah, I should be fine" Robert replied. I pulled over the curtain and said "If you need anything just shout". Robert smiled at me, and I walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind me. The sleeves of my shirt were soaked, and I went to get changed but Robert would be out of the shower soon anyway, so it was best to just wait. Soon enough, Robert called me, and I went and helped him out of the shower. I put his towel around him, and helped him into the bedroom. Robert dried himself, and I helped him into his clothes. "There you go" I said, handing him his crutches. "Thank youuuuuuu" He said, and he walked to the landing before I helped him down the stairs. "Thank you, I can't wait to get out of this cast, it feels like I can't do anything for myself" Robert said, looking down at the visible part of the cast. Most of it was covered my his trouser leg. "It's alright, not like it's your fault, is it?" I answered, looking at him. "I guess not...do you want to go to the café or something?" Robert asked me. "Yeah, I've got to go to work later though, Adam'll be furious I haven't been in a while" I said. "There's not that much to do actually, so I should be done soon enough" I added.

Robert's POV

We got to the café and Aaron went and ordered a coffee and an Americano whilst I sat down. He came over and gave me an Americano. "Thanks" I said, smiling. "I might go the pub later, whilst you're at work" I added. "Yeah, that's alright, I can come after work and meet you" Aaron suggested. "Yeah, alright then, I get to spend quality time with your mum! Yay!" I said unenthusiastically, punching my fist up in the air. Aaron just looked at me and laughed. "Shit, is that the time? I gotta go" Aaron said, and he helped me up, we downed our coffee's and Aaron kissed me, handed me my crutches and said bye before running to the scrapyard. I walked out, and went to the pub. I walked in, and went and sat on one of the barstools, propping my crutches against the bar. "Hi, Robert" Chas said. "Hi, can I have a pint?" I asked, as she poured me one I gave her the money. "Thanks" I said. "So, how's your leg?" She asked, unusually chatty. "Numb, really. Aaron's had to help me with loads" I replied. "Alright" She said, looking at me. What was her problem? Soon enough, Vic came to work in the front. "Hiya Rob" she said, and I answered "Hi Vic, is there something wrong with Chas? She's being weird" . "Not that I know of...Where's Aaron?" She asked. "At the scrapyard, Adams not happy about him not being in" I replied. "Oh he wont shut up about it! Ooh Aaron needs to help out! Aaron needs to do this, Aaron needs to do that! Anyway, hows your leg?" Vic asked. "Its alright, numb though, Aaron has to help me do basic things" I said, looking down into my pint. "Well at least you know he cares" Vic said, looking at me. "Well yeah, but I already knew that" I said, and Vic smiled at me. "Awwwww" She said, jeering at me. "What?" I asked, confused. "Nothing, just that Aaron says similar things" Vic answered, and I smiled. "What? No insult? Aww you've gone all soft!" She said, laughing. "What? No I haven't, shut up!" I retorted. "And there he is" she said, laughing more.

Aaron's POV

I walked into the pub to see Robert scowling slightly and Vic laughing. "Helloooo, what've I missed?" I asked. "Robert's gone soft and I told him and he doesn't like it" Vic said, still laughing. "No I haven't, Vic seriously shut up" Robert said, scowling at her. I just laughed and hugged him, saying "You're not that soft". "Thank you" he said, and hugged me back. "See? You have got a soft spot, just for Aaron though" Vic said, smiling and laughing slightly again. "Fine. MAYBE I have!" Robert said as he started laughing with her. "There's one good bit about you having a fractured leg" I said, smiling smugly. "There is?" Robert asked, completely confused. "Yeah, you cant pick me up anymore" I said, and Robert smiled. "Are you sure?" He asked, before picking me up and sitting me on his lap. "Alright...maybe you can" I said, and Robert was the one smiling smugly. "You've got bird bones I swear!" He said, laughing. "No I haven't, shut up Mr Smugden" I said, and he laughed more. "I thought he was king Smugden?" Vic asked, laughing. "Nah, its not as good as Mr Smugden" I replied, smiling. "I am not a Smugden!" Robert said. "Yes you are, Mr Smugden!" I replied, smiling still. Robert kissed me, and my smile got bigger. "Alright Mr Smugden, you win" I said, and we both just started laughing. "Awwwwwwwwww look at you two!" Vic said, and we both laughed and shook our heads.
