I Very Much Agree. Robert Meant, I’m Certain, He Missed Their Intimate Connexion. He Has Never Felt

I SO love this. It’s perfect!!!

Robron are in the pub; Chrissie and Andy are sitting across the way and she can’t stop throwing looks at them and showing off with Andy by kissing him, laughing at his jokes really loudly and pushing her hand into his shirt. Robert finds himself feeling like crap and Aaron notices. Suddenly he gets a call and has to run out, he squeezes Rob’s shoulder and leaves. Robert can feel Chrissie’s eyes on him and he doesn’t even wanna look up. He’s about to order another beer when his head is suddenly being turned and Aaron is kissing him; a long, deep, tender kiss- one hand in his hair and the other cupping his chin. Aaron pulls away slowly; pressing a few small kisses to his lips before smiling, “See you later.” Robert can’t speak, only nod, and Aaron grins before standing straight and throwing a smug look at Chrissie as he heads out again. Robert sits, slightly stunned, before grinning and ordering another beer.

I totally agree with you! It was a BEAUTIFUL sight! That’s how real couples are...very much like my partner & me. You can see the “coupleness” of their just being together. And Robert saying, “You’re okay then?” You look at Robert’s eyes when he looks at Aaron...His eyes tell us “I LOVE this man to bits! I’d move heaven & earth for him” and we see the concern in Robert’s look & in his voice. Aaron Sees & hears all that as well. Can you imagine how that must make Aaron feel inside? Then I think of Robert, how deeply Robert feels such joy and happiness to be with the man he loves and adores and who loves and adores him back. AND Charity...COLD, HATEFUL Charity, letting her guard down (I think there’s an awful lot of good in Charity Dingle. She is AFRAID someone MIGHT catch on to it!). Charity standing there, smiling, truly touched by the love shared by these two wonderful men!  It was marvellous!!!!!

i just can’t get over the shift in robron tonight. and yes, i probably am over-analysing because i’ve missed them so every second of their scenes is now extremely important, but they just seemed so comfortable around each other.

even the way they sauntered into the pub, chatting quietly to each other, robert glancing back at aaron… and then you had the whole teddy bear exchange (as i’m calling it) and aaron letting his hand slide down robert’s arm as he gets a pint. it’s just a tiny physical display of… not even affection, but just that reassurance that he can touch robert, that they can do this now, that they’re not hiding. and he probably doesn’t even question it now, or not as much, which is even more special really because this has all become so normal to them.

and robert being included in the family discussion in the backroom, and aaron not freaking out because his mum’s in hospital because robert is there as the voice of reason, telling him chas did the right think seeking help

and then you had the most incredibly sarky banter - “any time i’m feeling down i just look at you and think ‘it could be worse, i could be robert’” AND THAT LAUGH THAT IS SO INFECTIOUS IT MAKES ROBERT LAUGH

and i know they were such small scenes and not exactly romantic but they weren’t mate-y either. they looked settled, happy, content in each other’s company and comfortable to show it even around others.

i don’t even know where i’m going with this i was just really happy to see them so relaxed and at ease with each other it’s literally made my heart hurt

Totally agree with you. He’s protecting Aaron just like Aaron thinks he’s protect Liv, by not letting her go to Gordon’s sentencing.

I need to say this before everyone starts having a go at Robert tonight about him getting rid of the letter to Aaron from Gordon. And you know what? I totally get why he does it.

Remember how badly Aaron reacted to getting a birthday card from Gordon? That was “only” a birthday card. This is no doubt going to be a letter to Aaron that has no other purpose than for Gordon to torment Aaron even from inside a prison cell. That no matter what Aaron will never be rid of Gordon. And even if it turns out to be a suicide note how do you think Aaron will react to that? Not well that’s for sure! Despite everything he’ll probably feel guilty on some level knowing what he’s like.

And keep in mind that Robert nearly watched Aaron die bc he couldn’t deal with having Gordon back in his life. Robert’s bound to be scared that this will trigger Aaron and make him start self-harming again as he’s stressed enough as it is atm trying to be a parental figure to Liv without this on top of everything.

Aaron is only just trying to get his life back on track and doing his best to move on and live with what happened to him as a child at the hands of Gordon. He’s following Robert’s advice and giving happiness a chance. Aaron’s been smiling a lot more lately…I mean when has Aaron ever smiled as much as he’s doing right now?!

So hasn’t Gordon ruined enough for Aaron already? Why should Gordon be allowed to still torture Aaron and make him feel constantly unsafe even when Aaron has gotten justice? Robert’s only trying to protect Aaron from anymore harm from Gordon the same way Aaron is trying to protect Liv by refusing to let her go to Gordon’s sentencing.

And can you really blame Robert for not wanting to see his boyfriend collaps and nearly die in his arms bc he’s cut himself too deep again bc Gordon was taunting Aaron once more?! I don’t think so! And it’s not even like it’s a rash decision Robert makes. He actually talks it through with Adam and weighs up the pros and cons of giving Aaron the letter. Something the old Robert wouldn’t have done. So cut Robert some slack and just think about how he’s actually doing this out of love and nothing else.
