Summary
The gold ring glints in the sliver of sunlight that peeks through the gap in the curtains in Aaron’s hotel room the next morning, sitting innocuously on the floor in the pile of clothes Robert had shirked off with haste the second the door slammed shut behind them. A glittering reminder that Aaron should give up on romance and join a convent or somethin’ because the universe clearly has it in for him.
Jackson, dead. Ed, a canvas of bruises from other (rugby, but still) lads. Ben, terminally boring. Marco, the only Italian in history to not like pasta. Robert, married.
About sums up his luck.

Summary
“Bit warm in here for a jumper, innit?”
“Says the one wearing a hoodie.”
“Yeah, well, I’ve got precious cargo to carry ‘round.” Aaron unzips his jacket and pulls one side open, reaches into a hidden inner pocket to pull out one of the small plastic bags Robert’s come to know so well.
“Tonight is business then, is it?”
Aaron makes a grand show of looking Robert up and down. “I could be open to some pleasure,” he murmurs, acting all coy like he hasn’t just short-circuited every wire in Robert’s brain.

Summary
When the story’s almost over, Max’s eyes are wide with wonder. “Pretty eyes and an impressive tolerance for your psychosexual daddy issues? Jesus, you’re so screwed.”
It’s a testament to the gravity of the situation that Robert lets that blatant blasphemy go, though not without vowing to himself to remember to piss in Max’s coffee in the morning.
“And the worst part,” Robert starts, mouth dry as he realises he’s finally going to voice aloud the illicit secret he can barely admit to himself, “is that he’s my soulmate.”
“Oh shit!”
Oh shit indeed.

Summary
Aaron has only seen Robert wear overalls once before, a decade ago, and the sight of him was enough to have Aaron kickstarting their tumultuous affair all over again, falling back into a cycle that he’d never thought would end.
He’s ten years older now, more mature and settled and a master of self-restraint but fuck.
He wants Robert.
And nothing good ever comes from that.

Summary
There's quiet again before Vic speaks up, gripping the back of the couch behind Andy's head. "I can't believe you never told me…"
Robert scoffs, "You were 7, Vic. What were you gonna do?" Vic doesn't seem much placated by that, and she roughly wipes her eyes.
"You could've told me," Andy pipes up from the couch, still watching Robert like it's the first time he's ever seen him clearly.
"Would you have believed me?"
Vic and Andy learn something about their brother

Summary
Seb’s hair is a bright orange just like Aaron remembers it, neatly combed in a way Aaron never seen on an eight years old before. The freckles are new, or maybe just more pronounced now, scattered across his nose and cheeks. The square glasses perched on his face make him look older, like someone had taken the scrappy toddler Aaron knew and pressed him into the shape of a miniature academic.
And Aaron is about to cry because that's his son.
Aaron has no legal right to him and they share no DNA, but that's his son.
-
It might have taken six years, but Aaron finally sees his son again.

Summary
Robert is forty years old, when he starts taking anti-depressants for the first time in his life. It’s not much of a birthday present - not what he’d imagined he might gift himself for turning forty, Robert of old dreaming of fancy holidays, and flash cars - but it’s the best gift he can come up with.
The anti-depressants come with a long list of side effects, and it's just Robert's luck he seems to experience them all.

Summary
“I'm dating…”
There aren't many people around them. He finds with his eyes a few women that seem to be his age, but none that seems like his type. The one person who does somewhat resembles his type is-
Him!” Robert shrieks and points at a stranger with piercing eyes and a sharp jawline that came straight out of Robert's dirtiest dreams, who's just walking behind Rebecca, scrolling through his phone. He's wearing a dark faded hoodie, and a pair of black jeans that look like they’ve seen better days but fit him with a precision that should be illegal, and he has headphones sitting on his neck. He looks like the polar opposite of Robert. He looks exactly like the type of guy he'll pick up at a pub for a quick shag, and never talk to again. He looks like the last person Robert will ever be in a serious relationship with.
-
In an attempt to avoid his sort of ex, Robert claims the first guy he sees as his boyfriend. He expects it to be a one and done sort of deal, except he seems to be running into Aaron everywhere he goes.
