Chapter Text
Sasha was sitting on her bed in the cell her and Robert share as Robert came back from his visit with John. With one look she could tell that he was in a sour mood.
"Did the visit with your dear brother not go smothly?", she asked innocently trying to lift the mood.
Robert sat down on his bed and stared at her. She tried not to wince at the look of his black eye and the obvious tension that now filled to room. Her try had definetly failed. But before Sasha could retract her sentence Robert opened his mouth.
"First of all that bastard is my step-brother and secondly no, talking with the new husband of my ex-husband was not exactly heaven on earth."
"Well tell me at least what he said", she told him looking up from her book and placing it next to her on the mattress.
"Ugh he told me that he was Aarons future bla, bla, bla what a load of bullshit and I am sure he knows it, if his two braincells allow him to think"
"He also has this weird fucking vibe about him, truly sinister that man."
"Yeah no you are right he really is odd. Just looking at him from where I was sitting was enough to give me the ick. I don't know how you could talk to him that long.", she said honestly.
"Honestly I also don't know why I did. All he did was hold his oh so wonderful life with my husb- ehm ex-husband under my nose and telling me again and again that I would never have Aaron back.", he said with a huff. His shoulders slumping.
"Maybe he was trying to convince himself more than you", Sasha told him with a laugh.
"Yeah maybe. But he also brought up Harry and.."
"The fuck he did? Unbelievable! That is uncalled for! What the fuck is wrong with him?"
That got a real laugh out of Robert and Sasha was glad he was back to his old spirit.
"If I am being honest a lot!", he now said with a smile on his lips.
"I am glad your smiling again", Sasha told Robert a moment later.
Because eventhough they were both being released in the following week and that is a reason for celebration in itself. Robert wasn't in the best of moods after he found out that Aaron rang the cops on him to send him back to prison. Yes to reason being that Aaron would have come after him on his wedding day was enough to massivly inflate Roberts ego but also knowing that Aaron activly chose to send Robert away was hurting him more than he would ever let on.
"Well John wasn't smiling anymore after I revealed to him that his dear husband kissed me before their big ceremony!"
Roberts smile grew wider at the memory of kissing Aaron on the bridge.
"You should have seen his face! It was priceless!"
"So that was why you were singing that wedding tune!" Sasha laughed. "I thought you were going mental."
"Truth be told I will probably be going mental when I have to go back to the village and see Aaron and John be all lovey-dovey with eachother. I'd rather claw my eyes out than see them kiss!"
Robert let himself fall back on his bed at the thought that this would be inevitable and that he could do nothing about it. He sighed and stared up at the ceiling. Just thinking about his step-brother and Aaron being together and now being actually married made his stomache turn.
Sasha got up from her matress with a sigh and let herself fall next to Robert onto his matress. She patted his shoulder in hopes of comforting him, she was never good at comforting people but hoped it worked anyway.
"Lucky for you, you won't have to go back to Emmerdale alone if you don't want to. You know I am also not exactly eager to return to my 'normal' life, if it even exists anymore.
So I am more than happy take a little trip to your wonderfull village and get to experiance your family drama firsthand!"
Sasha said it primarily to cheer Robert up but looking into his thankful eyes, she knew she wouldn't have it in her to not go through with her promise.
After three years of sharing a cell, one grows close to their cellmate if they want to or not. Sasha and Robert didn't klicked instantly but were basiclay attached at the hip by the second week living together. They were able to open up to eachother about their time before prison, their hopes after getting back out but also their fears.
Sasha told him a lot about her girlfriend, Amy who promptly brocke up with her the moment she heard that Sasha was going to prison. Their life together before they were riped apart over dumb mistake Sasha did years ago.
Robert in return told her all about Aaron, sometimes so much that she believed she met the man herself. And if she thought her live was complicated he always had a story to match hers with.
Eventhough their initial meeting was a bit rocky to say the least, now they were close friends, listend to the other complaine and helped eachother out where they could.
"Are you sure you want to have first row seats for the drama show that is Emmerdale?" Robert asked with a grimace on his face. "I mean you are more than welcome to! I won't object!"
"Like you almost did at their wedding", Sasha laughed
"Ouch too soon!" Robert winced jokingly with a smile on his face.
"Yeah well you will have to get over that!"
"Your the one to talk! I am not the one crying my ears of about Amy this and Amy that!", Robert countered. Now it was Sashas turn to hit him in the arm.
"Yeah, yeah whatever but if we really are going to Emmerdale together we need a plan!"
Sashas eyes sparkled maliciously. That can't be something good.
Robert hoped that the plan at least wouldn't involve them going back to prison because of manslaughter of a special someone.
