    "Hello, Aaron," she says, as congenially as possible.

    "H-hello, hi, Mrs Brearly," he stumbles, still wide-eyed and blinking at her.

    After nearly a minute of a staring contest, she prompts him, "What can I do for you today?"

    Aaron stares at her, mouth opening and closing not unlike a fish, before he finally blurts out, "Have you seen Robert recently?"

    Summary

    Aaron now knows that his life without Robert is just empty, a void. He'd always know it, really, ever since he'd first fallen in love with the man. Aaron didn't need to lose Robert to know it to be the truth, but he had. And if Aaron had anything to do with it, he wasn't ever going to lose him again.

    Summary

    There are moments when Aaron will look at Robert and wonder how much of him actually came back from prison. Robert keeps a routine, strict and unyielding, nowadays. Aaron will blink awake to Robert slipping out of the bedroom door, he’ll come home from the scrapyard to catch Robert washing up his dishes and heading out again. They have vast fields and herds of cattle to tend to so it’s easy for Robert to get lost out there. Lost to Aaron, at least, looking out of the back-facing window to try and get a glimpse of his husband who always seems to be on his way out when Aaron enters.

    after prison, and John, and Kev, Aaron and Robert should be happy and excited and ready to get on with the rest of their lives but things have never been made easy for them

    Summary

    "That's not true," Aaron rebuffs, voice sterner than he'd like it to be. "He's here— we're here because we're both very bothered about ya."

    Seb rolls his eyes. "Is that what you tell yourself? Neither of you give a toss about me, you're just here so he can make himself feel better about being a deadbeat."
