Summary
the one where connor catches aaron and robert.
or,
“What’s going on?” A voice asks. Sounds dejected and angry all at the same time. Robert shifts off of Aaron so fast he nearly falls off the bed but his boyfriend’s (is he? Is Aaron his boyfriend?) fingers curl into his sleeve to catch him.
Connor. Fuck.
“Connor, wait-“ He says, but Connor doesn’t wait for an explanation – just turns on his heel and slams the door behind him, the windows rattling from the force. “Fuck!”
“Rob,” Aaron murmurs. His voice is soothing, calm and gentle. Robert doesn’t understand how he’s like this right now. “Come here.” He smooths a hand over Robert’s shoulder blade and pulls him in at the same time, until they’re chest-to-chest, the older man’s face tucked into Aaron’s shoulder.

Summary
aaron and robert decide to make a go of it, despite connor hanging over their heads.
or,
"How've you been?" He says instead, taking in the younger man's face. He looks exhausted, dark smudges under his eyes and his beard growing longer like a shadow under his cheekbones. He wants to know - wants to know everything.
Aaron shrugs one shoulder - he looks exactly like Robert's feeling. "Here and there," He mutters, taking a sip of his coffee. "Connor won't stop calling, but that's to be expected when you end a year-long relationship with out a decent explanation," His tone is self-deprecating, and Robert hates it, hates that it was him, hates that he had to be the one to ruin it all. But it's like Aaron can read his mind because he covers the older man's hand with his own and leans forward, whispering, "It's not your fault."Series
