Summary
Robert looks away for a moment, takes a sip of his beer, and decides that he might as well be honest with a total stranger, now that he has finally learned how to be honest with himself.
"I'm not really good at it. Not anymore." His therapist would be so proud.
"You? Now, that's hard to believe." The man smiles, a little sexy smirk that feeds the little flames licking at Robert's insides. "I'm Aaron."
There's a short, cold spike of doubt shooting through Robert's skull, a way too familiar fear circling in his veins, his thoughts racing to what happened, what could happen, and–
"Robert."
He's safe. He's abroad and he can't get to him.

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
“You ought to take things more seriously, Mr Sugden. If you applied yourself, you could have prospects. Real ones. I hate to say it, but right now you’re going nowhere.”
“Nowhere,” Robert repeats thoughtfully. “Is nowhere full of geniuses, Sir? ‘Cos if so, I’ll fit right in.”

Summary
Once. Twice. Maybe a couple of times. Aaron came back to himself, suddenly aware of Robert sprawled out on the sidewalk under him only when the blood trickled from the plush pink of Robert’s lips to the back of his pale hand. It clings to his fingertips as he dabs at the skin, broken skin, the ripped tissue of a mouth that’d previously been grinning like the cat that got the cream.

Summary
“A train is an interesting place for a blind date.” the lady chuckles, “Well, for your sake, I hope that this young man that just came in is here for you.”
Robert’s eyes snap open.
“Robert, right?” the man - Aaron, his name is Aaron - gives him a polite half smile before putting his bag on the shelf and sitting down, “Apologies for cutting it close, I had to do something last minute.”
The spicy taste of ginger intensifies, making Robert’s tongue tingle, his mouth feeling numb as he keeps on staring at the man sitting in front of him, who’s now busy connecting his charger to a socket under his seat. They didn’t exchange pictures during their short text exchanges that Robert instigated a couple of days ago, drunk on whiskey and desperation and an overwhelming fear of showing back home alone. He figured that someone in the escort service had to be more or less attractive, good-looking enough to make a couple of gobs shut up.
Good-looking is a ridiculously inadequate word to describe Aaron, and if Robert starts drooling, he can at least blame the ginger burning through his gums.aka
