How it should be! Just lovely!

Robert & Aaron cuddling. Am I the only one who dreams about this? { literally like, it's happened multiple times now}

honestly i wanted to write you about 8k worth of cuddling situations but i hope you enjoy this little scene!

Robert woke to the familiar feeling of Aaron pressed close to him, one of his husband’s legs shoved between his own, and arm slung over Robert’s middle as they slept. They didn’t often fall asleep tangled up in each other, it was too hot and impractical to cuddle every single night, but Robert loved that they gravitated to each other in the night.

That even subconsciously, they wanted to be close to each other.

Aaron shifted in his sleep, pressing his chin into the groove of Robert’s neck, Robert instantly uncomfortable. He hated when Aaron did that, his husband’s chin all scruffy and pointy, digging into his shoulder in the worst kind of way.

“Move,” Robert elbowed Aaron, earning himself a sleepy grumble from his other half.

“S’early.”

“And you’re giving my neck beard burn again, move it.” Robert rolled his eyes, trying to wiggle from Aaron’s grasp, Aaron’s grip on Robert’s t-shirt only getting tighter the more Robert tried to move. “Aaron, come on.”

“I’m comfortable!” Aaron protested, more awake now, scratching his beard against the sensitive skin of Robert’s neck, purposely trying to annoy him now.

“Don’t be a dick, Aaron.”

“You love me,” Aaron smirked, but shifted so his face was pressed to Robert’s back, his hand bunching up the hem of Robert’s t-shirt, so he could press the palm of his hand to the warm skin of Robert’s stomach.

It took Robert a second or two to get settled against, linking his fingers with Aaron’s, the familiar sensation of their ring’s clinking together making his heart race. It was one of the reasons he loved when Aaron wanted to be the one to cuddle him, their left hands always finding each other, wedding rings always glinting together as they lay close, blocking out the rest of the world.

Robert never knew how much he liked being cuddled until Aaron, if he was honest. Something about Aaron, having Aaron’s arms around him made him feel safe, and loved, in ways he’d never known before.

It was nice.

It was always nice to have Aaron hold him, feel the length of Aaron’s body pressed to his back, feel Aaron’s breath ghost across the back of his neck. Robert could stay here forever, he really could.

In an hour or so, their alarm would go off, and the usual morning routine would start. Robert would be the first to get up, and shower, Aaron half asleep on Robert’s side of the bed when he’d finish, Robert kissing his husband awake, damp hair against Aaron’s skin, making him laugh, eventually coercing him out of bed with the promise of breakfast.

Aaron didn’t mind mornings, most of the time, but Robert figured he just liked being woken up the way Robert always did on those early mornings, and he was always happy to indulge his husband.

“I love you,” Robert breathed softly, letting his eyes flutter shut, surrounded by the warmth of their thick duvet, the warmth Aaron always radiated, his body temperature always running high.

It was like having his own personal radiator in bed, at times.

Aaron pressed a kiss to Robert’s clothed shoulder, his response soft, more of a sleepy mumble than it was anything else. “Love you more.”

This is just excellent!

happy 30th birthday robert sugden!

Sometimes pictures say a whole lot with no caption whatsoever. This is one.

I’m with you!!! In spades!!! I am still fuming!!!!

please GOD write a fix-it for the latest episode(s) because i can't take it

You read my mind, I’m writing one as we speak anon. I’m so upset, I need to take matters into my own hands and bash their fucking heads together.

That sofa is for Aaron & Robert to cuddle & snog on!!! Get off!!!

I agree. That’s why despite every bad thing that Robert did, like Victoria & Diane, I understood the “why”. I didn’t condone it. Jack really let Robert down when he prefered Andy to Robert. Robert was the INNOCENT party! Jack was wrong. Andy bullied Robert to impress his mates, even though it his friendship with Robert that got him his new home with Jack & family. I FULLY understand Robert’s feelings against Andy, too.

“You should go and see him. In the mortuary. (…) I’ve robbed you of your last chance to see him alive. You should go see for yourself that he’s gone. Say what needs saying and…I dunno know. It might help close stuff down for you. Draw a line under things.”

It broke my heart when Robert said those words. Not bc of Gordon. But bc of Robert and his troubled past with his dad Jack. Robert sort of got this sad, distant look in his eyes as he said those words to Aaron. Like, Robert was reminded of his own dad and how he too had been robbed of the chance to say goodbye to his father when he had been banished from the village.

Robert telling Aaron to go see Gordon in the mortuary, to say what he needed to get off his chest, it was as if Robert was drawing from his own experience when he went to Jack’s funeral. It was Robert’s way of trying to close down his issues with Jack, to draw a line under it - even if it deep down didn’t fully help bc he never got the chance to make amends with his dad, which in ways are still hunting him today. But he tried at least and to some extend it helped. And it was as if Robert was thinking of that when he tried to advice Aaron on what he should do. That he hoped in some way it would help Aaron to go see his dad one last time and it would bring some form closure to him like it did Robert.

To me it was such a precious moment and I really hope one day Robert feels comfortable enough to open up completely to Aaron and tell him all about his and Jack’s relationship and share that part of his life with his boyfriend too.
