Aaron's POV

Robert finally let me down, and I ordered a pint. "So how was work?" Robert asked. "Alright, except Adam wouldn't shut up for one second about how I need to do this, need to do that. He's really getting on my nerves I swear" I said as I gave Vic the pint money and she passed the pint to me. "Trust me, Aaron, you're not the only one that he's been nagging about it. Won't shut up!" She said, and Robert laughed. "Rob you don't know how annoying he is" I said, and we all just laughed. We were still laughing when Adam walked in. "Alright?" He said, and we just turned round to face him and nodded our heads, trying not to laugh. "Why do you all look like that?" He asked, tilting hid head slightly, in confusion. "Like what?" Robert asked, supressing his giggles. "Like you're in pain or something" he replied. "We're erm, trying not laugh, that's all" Vic said. "Well...why?" He asked again. "Oh, just an old inside joke. Anyway, how was work?" Vic asked, smiling at him. Wrong question. "Alright, someone actually showed up today!" He said, looking at me. We all just burst into laughter, and Adam looked more confused than before. "What?!" He asked, getting frustrated with us. My mum walked in, and Vic said "Oh, I've gotta gooooo..". My mum stopped her, and said "No you don't, your shifts ended", confused. "Oh I know, but Marlon has asked me to help him in the kitchen" Vic said again, widening her eyes. My mum looked at me, and i nodded slowly. Vic walked off, and me and Robert both said at the same time "We gotta go too". I looked at Robert, and he said "Yeah, we've gotta sort some stuff out, bills, you know? Boring but we gotta do it, bye Adam". I helped him off the bar stool, and we walked outside. As soon as we got out, the pair of us burst out laughing. After we calmed down, Robert asked "Do you reckon he bought that?". "Yeah, but it doesn't matter about that, we got out before we told him and he got in a mood with the three of us" i said, and we started laughing again.

Robert's POV

We walked home, and Aaron opened the door so we could get in. I sat down on the couch, and Aaron came and sat with me. "Ugh, I feel bad now" I said, and Aaron looked at me and said "Robert Sugden? Feel bad about something simple like that?" And laughed. I pretended to be hurt, and then joined in laughing. "Stop making me be a softy!" I said, still laughing, and Aaron gently punched me on the arm. "I haven't made you a softy, you just love me so much" he said, and I smiled. "Yeah, I do, but you love me so much as well" i said, and Aaron smiled too. "Yeah, I do" he said, and wrapped his arms around my waist. I put my arms around his too, and after cuddling for a while, Aaron's stomach rumbled. "I take it you're hungry, then" I said, chuckling slightly. "Yeah, I'll go make something. What is there?" He asked, getting up. "Erm...salad?" I said/-asked, confused because I had no idea what was in the fridge. Aaron walked into the kitchen, checking the freezer. "There's chicken, that's the easiest thing to cook in here" he said. "Alright, lets have chicken then" I said. "But we're not having that every night!" I added. No way! "I know, I'm not that bad!" Aaron protested from the kitchen. I got up, and grabbed my crutches and went to the kitchen, to see Aaron reading the box. "It's not that hard you know" I said, chuckling. "Alright, you do it then!" Aaron replied, laughing to himself as he passed me the box and went into the living room. I looked at the oven, it was a gas mark. I followed the instructions, and a short while later, it was done. I got out the plates, and put the chicken on them. Aaron came in and took the plates to the table because, obviously, I couldn't. We sat down, and I said "See, not that hard", laughing quietly. "Alright Mr Smugden" Aaron said, laughing too. We ate our dinner and then Aaron took the plates out and washed them up. It was pretty late, so we went to bed. Again, Aaron helped me up the stairs, helped me get changed, and got changed himself. "Thank youuuuu" I said. "For what?" He asked. "For helping me about" I answered. "Well, I have to, don't I? He asked. "I know, but still, thanks" I replied. "You know, Vic's right, you are a big softy really" Aaron said, giggling. "What? No I'm not" I replied, before pulling Aaron into a hug and whispering into hid ear "Okay, maybe I am. Tell no one". He started giggling again, and said "Its fine, I won't" before hugging me back, and we fell asleep in each others arms, and in a good mood.
