Robert's POV

It had been a week since my leg had been fractured, and now I had to go and get my cast changed. 5 more times I have to go to the hospital, I thought. Fun. "...or you'll be late" I heard Aaron say. "Sorry? I just got lost in my thoughts" I said. "Oh, I just said that we should hurry up and go to the hospital or you'll be late" Aaron repeated, and I nodded before he helped me up. We got into Aaron's car and he drove off. We went and sat down in the waiting room, and Aaron went off to buy some coffee. I looked around, and started to get nervous. What if something happens to my leg? What if something's wrong with me that they didn't find before? What if Aaron has to spend the rest of his life helping me about? The thoughts got worse and worse until I heard someone saying "Robert....they've called you out". It was Aaron. I looked up and nodded with a smile, and got up and went over to the room. The nurses instructed me on what to do, and once I'd done it, they cut off the cast, and plastered on a new one, wrapping the coloured bandage around it. "Next week we'll x-ray your leg to see if the bone is mending" the nurse said, and I nodded. She left me in the room alone for a few minutes, and I started to cry. I didn't want to waste Aaron's tine by helping me around 24/7! Aaron walked in and I quickly dried my tears. "Why you crying?" He asked, looking at me. "Uh...my leg hurts" I said, smiling slightly. You could tell straight away he didn't believe me. "Yeah I'm not buying that, you were shot and you never cried then, why would you cry now? Now tell me what's up" he said, and I just looked at him. "I'm just sad" I mumbled, I'm surprised he heard me.

Aaron's POV

Robert didn't want to admit his feelings. That was pretty obvious. I couldn't make him, so instead I just gave him a hug. Once his cast had set properly, we went home. When we got in, I said "Can I ask you something though, Robert?". "Okay" he replied, sitting down. "Are you alright?" I asked, sitting next to him. "Yeah, just stressed that's all" he answered. I went to ask him again, but my phone rang. "It's Adam" I said, before answering. Aaron-Alright? Adam-Yeah, but you gotta get down to the scrapyard, you need to see the deal I got! Aaron-It's kinda late, innit? Adam-Yeah, but you need to see this now, aw man you're gonna be so excited! Aaron-Alright, I'll be there. But I cant be there long! Adam-Aw cheers mate, you're gonna love this! Adam hung up, and I looked at Robert. "I've gotta go the scrapyard, Adam's made a really good deal that he couldn't wait to tell me tomorrow, for some reason" I said, and he nodded. "Okay, tell me who's invested when you get back!" He replied. "I will, might be a while though, you know what Adam's like" I said, and Robert nodded before I kissed him ob the cheek and went out.

Robert's POV

The second Aaron closed the door, I went to the shop. I know I was being stupid, I shouldn't have to drink all of my problems away! This made me feel worse, and I bought red and white wine, different cans of beer, vodka, anything really. "Are you gonna be alright to carry that, Robert?" David asked. "Um, yeah, only one leg in a cast!" I said, laughing a bit. David smiled and laughed a bit too, before scanning the items, and I paid. I walked out, and got back home, struggling a tiny bit because the bag was quite heavy. I got in, and I put the bag on the couch. I locked the door, and grabbed a can of beer.

Aaron's POV

"Awww nice one Adam!" I exclaimed as I sat down. "What you don't expect this of me anyway?" Adam asked, pretending to be hurt. I just laughed at him. "So what do they plan to do?" I asked. "Not much, just fund us, help us progress blah blah blah, pretty much like our other investors, except for the annoying blonde one who keeps popping around every day to see you, most of the time not even the scrapyard" Adam answered, laughing. "Oi mate that's my boyfriend you're on about there" I replied, laughing too. "How's he doing by the way?" He asked. "Alright, the painkillers numbed his leg the other day, aww it was dead funny you know" I said. "He's been quite sad, today though" I added. It hit me. Robert gets really drunk when he's sad. Today, Robert was sad. Very sad. "...Aaron?" I heard Adam. "What?" I asked. "Are you alright?" He answered. "Yeah. But I need to go. Now. Talk to you later mate" I said, walking out of the scrapyard. Why did I choose to walk this time? After about 10 minutes I got back, and the door was locked. I hadn't locked it when I went out. Robert must have been out, I thought. I unlocked the door, and I walked in. I must have been pretty quiet, because Robert never heard me. I walked into the living room, to see bottles, and cans, and Robert drinking out of a bottle of vodka. I waited until he'd put it down because I didn't want him to choke. "Aww Robert!" I said, running over to him. "Oh, heyyyy" he slurred, looking at me and smiling. I think he knew he was in the wrong. "Why did you have to go and get drunk?" I asked, clearing away the cans and bottles. I put them on the side, and came and sat next to a drunk Robert. "I'm sorry, I-I just felt bad" he said, and I looked at him. "Why did you feel bad?" I asked him. "I feel bad because you have to h-help me around all the t-time and I j-just" Robert broke off as he started to cry. He put his head on my lap and I stroked his hair as I said "I don't need to help you around all the time, I mean you managed to carry all of this here without any help, didn't you? That must have been quite hard because of the weight". Robert smiled, and I smiled back before planting a small kiss on his lips. That made Robert smile more, and me too.

Robert's POV

Aaron kissed me, and I smiled, more than I was before. I sound like a 14 year old, but Aaron is perfect to me. Obviously, he's not perfect, but he is to ME. Aaron cares about me, and he's willing to help me, and its like for the first time I know what it's like to be loved. Sometimes I wonder if Aaron knows he's loved, that he believes me when I tell him I love him. He's been through so much, he's had so much hurt that I wonder. I do love Aaron. Its like part of me's missing when Aaron's not around. Even in my drunk state, I still think like this. "I love you, Aaron" I said, smiling at him, looking in his eyes. Aaron smiled back at me and said "I love you too, Rob". I held Aarons hand and entwined our fingers, stroking my thumb over his. He smiled again, and I could tell that it was a happy, genuine smile. I sat up, and cuddled Aaron, and he laid his head on my chest. I smiled and I knew that Aaron was happy, away from all of the hurt in his life, just for now.
