Part 20

Robert's POV

I woke up to hear clattering downstairs. Aaron was awake before me, as usual, and I got up, ever so slowly putting my pajama pants on, and carefully made my way downstairs. It had been a few weeks now, and I'd gotten used to crutches, and the leg cast of course. I went into the kitchen, to see Aaron getting out ingredients. "Woah, you're cooking?" I asked, and added "Might want to call the fire brigade". Aaron just looked at me, pretending to be hurt. "Kidding! So what you making?" I asked him. "Pancakes, just fancied some you know" he replied, looking in the cupboard. "Looking for something?" I asked, laughing slightly. "Erm, yeah. I can't find the flour" he answered. "That's because its not in that cupboard" I said, laughing as I hobbled over to another cupboard, getting the flour for him. "Well that's what I get for not cooking then innit?" Aaron said as he started mixing. "Well I'll be in the living room if you need me" I said, and I gently pecked his cheek as I went out. I went and sat down, and not long later Aaron came out with some pancakes on a plate. I went and got out sugar and lemon zest ect...and turned the stove off. I smiled as I shook my head, and walked out, putting the things on the table. We ate in a comfortable silence, until Aaron exclaimed "Shit!" And I laughed and said "I turned the stove off don't worry". He calmed down and said "See this is why I shouldn't cook", and I laughed more, nodding at him. I couldn't figure out why, but Aaron seemed on edge this morning.

Aaron's POV

I was forgetting stupid things. Any other time, I'd say I'm being stupid. But I have a reason this time, I couldn't tell Robert though...he'd start shouting, not at me though, and he'd get pissed. He'd go and visit him again, and he'd probably get jailed himself. Why had he even sent this letter to me? I'd have to tell Robert. He'd find out soon enough and the later I leave it, the sadder he'd be. "Aaron? Are you okay?" Robert asked me, looking at ne in confusion. I sighed, before clearing away the plates, and I came and sat on the couch, and Robert sat next to me. "No, I'm not okay. I got a letter this morning, and..." My voice broke as Robert gave me a hug, and I passed him the letter. As Robert read it, I started to cry, and Robert held my shoulder as he continued to read it. "Why does it say urgent?!" He asked, gripping the table to keep calm. "I-I don't know, I never want to see him again, he's s-scum and he can go rot in there, and-" I stopped as Robert hugged me tight, and I clung onto him, crying. "Shhhh, its going to be alright, you don't have to go" he whispered into my ear. Robert let go, and looked at me as he held me by my shoulders, and said "If you really don't want to go, which you have every right not to, then I could ask to see him, or your mum, or Adam, or Cain...". I replied with "C-can you go?", quiet as possible. "Of course I can, I'd do anything for you Aaron you know that" Robert said as he hugged me again. I clung onto him, although I couldn't grip his shirt like I usually do, because he was shirtless. I couldn't stop myself from crying as Robert hugged me, and as I started to calm down, I asked Robert "P-Please can you not tell my mum about this? I know she'd go and d-do something stupid. J-Just don't tell anyone, he can rot in jail after this". I could feel Robert nodding on my shoulder as he hugged me tighter, and I melted into the hug.

Robert's POV

I calmed Aaron down, and he went to the café to get our usual morning coffees. As soon as he went, I requested a meeting for Gordon, saying it was urgent. See how you like it, I thought. As Aaron came back, I said "I've booked it. He won't miss this" as Aaron handed me my Americano. "Thank you" I added, and I got a faint smile. After I'd drank it, I went upstairs to get ready, I'd finally convinced Aaron I'd be alright getting ready myself. I hated how he had to do everything for me. Eventually, I got back downstairs and we went to the pub. As we walked in, Chas came over. "Alright? Want a pint?" She asked. "Er, yeah go on then" Aaron said, and I added "Me too". We sat down in one of the booths and Chas brought them over. "Here you go" she said as she placed our drinks in front of us. "Cheers" I replied, as I passed her the money. Charity came out to work at the bar, so Chas came and sat with us. "Soooo, got any plans or anything?" She asked. "Yeah, we're going out for a meal sometime next week" I answered, nudging Aaron's leg slightly. "Um, yeah. In Hotten" he muttered, sipping his drink. "Oi, what's got you in a mood?" Chas asked, poking his arm. Aaron looked up at her. "Just thinking" he said, staring into his pint. "Are you alright love?" She asked. "I'm fine" he replied. "Are you sure?" She asked him again. "Mum, I'm fine. Now drop it!" He almost shouted, and downed his pint. I did the same, and Aaron stomped out. "He's got a lot going on" I said to a shocked Chas, and I went out after Aaron. "Right. Come on, lets go home" I said to him, and he wiped away his tears with his sleeve and nodded before walking with me.

Aaron's POV

We got inside, and I slumped down on the couch as Robert closed the door, locking it. Obviously, he wanted to know what was wrong. I promised myself I wouldn't shout like I did at the pub, and curled my knees up to my chest, when Robert came in, and sat next to me. "What's wrong? Is it to do with Gordon?" He asked, saying the last bit quieter. I just nodded at him, wiping tears away from my eyes before they could fall. He shuffled over to me, and wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tight. I burrowed my head into his neck, crying silently. "I don't have to go you know" he whispered into my ear. "I know, I-I just want to know w-what he wants from me" I replied, my voice was muffled by Robert's jumper. Robert's hugs instantly made me feel better, and I started to calm down after a while. It hit me that I've been a complete wreck these past few weeks, god I need to get a grip! "I've been a baby, haven't I? Crying all the time" I said, and Robert shook his head. "Not at all! Aaron, you've been stronger than anyone else could be, you have every right to cry, considering what you've been through. Just remember you're my Teddy Bear, and I love you, no matter what happens, okay?" He replied, and I just smiled, and let my legs down so I could hug him back. I hugged Robert tight, and the hug slowly turned into a cuddle. No one could calm me down like this, not even my mum.
