Summary
"So, can you just tell me why you hate me?” the demanding prick urges, and Aaron opens his mouth to list all the reasons, but suddenly, he can’t.
Robert looks at him like a bird thrown out of its nest and Aaron’s tongue doesn’t cooperate, because what exactly could he say? I’ve watched you kiss a dozen girls, and it pissed me off for some reason, then once you looked at me like I was an eight wonder of the world AND THEN you fucked off for three years. Now you’re back all gorgeous and talking about your grand life like nothing happened, and I, I-

Summary
Really, he should just be grateful he’s not been kicked to the curb yet. He’s more than aware of how many of Aaron’s family members are campaigning for exactly that.
The conversation moves on while Robert’s spiralling, and he makes his excuses to get out of there while Adam is midway through a spiel about who-knows-what, neither of them paying him much mind because why would they?
It’s not like it’s his fucking birthday or anything.
aka robert turns 30. it's just a shame nobody else remembers.

Summary
Robert swallows and turns away, sitting down on the bed and putting his head in his hands. “Seriously, though,” he says. He’s angry, and he wants – somehow he wants to hold onto that anger, doesn’t want to have to think about anything except how angry he is. “Is this some kind of Pokemon thing? Gotta catch em all?”
Aaron shakes his head. “You what? Poke a what?”

Summary

A secret affair, a looming wedding, and a web of lies that’s starting to choke. As the village prepares for the wedding of the century, Robert has to face the reality that he can't have both the crown and the heart.

Summary
Robert tilts his head slightly. “Fair point. So… aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Aaron shrugs. “I’m going home now.”
Robert moves closer so the two of them are practically toe-to-toe. A tingle spreads from Aaron’s neck to his hip.
“Invite me there instead, then,” Robert says smoothly.Aaron instinctively steps backwards, his back hitting the portacabin door. He can’t deal with this right now; it’s not how they work. They don’t do flirting in broad daylight. They barely interact when there isn’t some sort of event (and booze) dragging them together.
aka A (very loosely based) Gavin & Stacey AU (but Robert & Aaron aren't Gavin and Stacey)

Summary
The audience all begin to clap like seals in some kind of waterpark show in Tenerife, and Aaron rolls his eyes and joins in too when Mack elbows him in the ribs and nods in the direction of Nicola from HR, who is frowning at him from across the room with beady eyes. Aaron sighs through his nose and turns his gaze back towards the front, raises an eyebrow in curiosity when he sees the twitch of unease in Robert’s almost photoshoot perfect grin as he takes Lawrence’s hand and squeezes tight.
“I give it six months before he’s caught shagging one of the salesgirls over his desk.” Mack murmurs to him from the corner of his mouth; Aaron snorts and tilts his head in further towards him.
“Bet you a tenner it’s five.”
