 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!

Finally someone who see Andy exactly for what he is. Thank you Cain!

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.

I really liked this! Very, very good!

a night at the pub

because apparently i’ve jumped on the ‘must protect robert sugden at all costs’ train and i wanted to see FLUFF and happiness for this poor soul. but robert getting happiness is basically au so here have this *~*

Robert smiled as he walked into the pub, greeted by Chas behind the bar already waving a pint glass in his direction with a cheeky smile on her face. 

“You on the beer tonight, Rob? Or is tonight one of your sophisticated nights? Chardonnay will it be?” She cackled. There was a time when Robert found Chas’ laugh one of the most annoying sounds in the world Now, he laughed with her and shook his head at the teasing he endured, daily he might add.

“Oh just get me a beer, would ya? Please, m’ bar lady?” This had become somewhat of a routine between them, since Rob was always early to his and Aaron’s dates and Aaron was always categorically late. Usually because of Liv. Sometimes because of Adam, or Paddy. It used to annoy him, but now he couldn’t help but smile as he scanned the pub to see who was in tonight.

Made me smile. :)

AARON:  Let’s take it slow. (3 days later) ROBERT:  (Wakes up with Aaron)  Did you sleep great?  Did I kick you?  We should get a bigger bed.  Where should I keep my clothes?  I need more closet space.  I booked our hotel room in Italy…Then, I booked us a hotel room in Vegas…When we get married, which do you prefer, Dingle-Sugden or Sugden- Dingle?  We’ll have two children, you can name our son, if we have a girl, her name will be Roberta.

This is perfect!

i genuinely think the hug afterwards is what broke me. their faces. ugh.
