thanks for tagging me in seven sentence sunday @jonathan-harks @stuckinanothertimezone @jackiemerrick @aaronsugdens @sugdendeeznuts @thatnervouswreck @livflahertydingle 🥰

am trying to get back into the swing of writing so here’s a wee snippet that might not turn into anything but we shall see

“Endings are my favourite part,” Robert admitted, embarrassment tinging his cheeks as he spoke. It was cute, really - not that Aaron would ever admit it out loud, or God forbid, to Robert himself.

“Why?” Aaron found himself asking, before he could really even think about it.

Robert shrugged, thumbing at the pages of the book. “I like knowing that people get to live happily ever after, I suppose. That the story ends with them getting their happy ending,” he paused, for a second, looking at Aaron. “Do you think we get to have a happy ending?”

Aaron tried to ignore the way tears burned at the corners of his eyes, everything he knew and couldn’t tell Robert clawing at his throat, the truth desperate to escape.

“I think we do,” Aaron managed, his voice hoarse from the effort of holding back his tears. He wished it was the truth.

He still dreamt about him sometimes, prone to nightmares whenever he didn’t take his sleeping pills. The pills dulled everything, made it so he didn’t have to toss and turn for hours and afforded him the kind of dreamless sleep he’d never had before. But sometimes, Aaron got weird about the pills, sometimes he thought about dying too much, about that day his mum took him to the swimming pool when he was six and Aaron dove too deep and got a bit lightheaded, how easy it would’ve been to let go then, how peaceful, how quiet, and so he flushed the pills down the toilet, and then he had to wait the appropriate amount of time to ask the doctor for new ones, so she wouldn’t think Aaron was doing anything weird.

thanks for tagging @sugdendeeznuts :) this came to me in a vision last night, idk if it's going anywhere but the premise delights me

“Relax,” Katie said. “I can’t,” Chas complained. This pub was a great deal fancier than she’d expected. She tugged on her top again, trying to find the appropriate neckline for the occasion. “He goes to Scotland and finds a bloke he actually wants to introduce me to—he’s never wanted to introduce any…” She trailed off as she caught sight of Aaron, leaned against the bar, a big smile on his face all for the fella he was with: tall, with great hair, matching Aaron’s smile and toying with Aaron’s hoodie string. Robert Sugden was pawing at her baby boy. “Robert?!” Katie beat her to it. Robert’s head whipped around. His expression turned from surprise to contempt in a second. Definitely Robert, then. He pulled his hand away from Aaron (good) and said, “What the fuck are you doing here?” Aaron’s smiled dropped. He looked from Robert’s withdrawn hand, to Robert’s turned-away face, to her and Katie, and back to Robert. “How do you know my mum?” “It’s Robert Sugden!” Chas spat. “Katie's Robert!” "Definitely not," Katie and Robert said at the same time, and then scowled at each other. Aaron crossed his arms tight; the movement attracted Robert's attention, and he stared at him. “Chas is your mum. Chas? You didn’t say you were a Dingle!” “Funny that, you didn’t say you were a Sugden.” “I’m not,” Robert said, throwing a caustic look Chas and Katie’s way. “It’s Merrick.”

He comes up behind Aaron. For a moment he thinks about grabbing his hip, but loses his nerve and goes for the shoulder instead, leans in close. “There you are,” he murmurs, lips brushing the shell of Aaron’s ear. He smells like the cheap cologne Chas got him for Christmas, the one in the grey bottle that he keeps in his top drawer and only uses on special occasions. The tacky, noxious, high street scent becomes something else on Aaron's skin. Something richer, almost luxurious. Robert is struck by an image of him, fresh out of the shower, spraying it onto his warm, still damp skin, making an effort. Aaron jumps about a mile. “Fuck,” he says, cringing away and shooting Robert a dark look. "Don't sneak up us."

“Do you remember when Aaron and I blessed our marriage in here?” Diane looked up from polishing a glass. “Of course I do.” She gave him a mock-offended look. “I may be getting on a bit, but I’m not senile.” A smile tugged at Robert’s lips. “You two were so young.” She rested her elbows on the bar, her expression softening. “So hopelessly in love.” Robert stared into the amber liquid. “We were only eighteen.” He let out a quiet, humourless laugh. “We were idiots to think we’d found our forever person at that age.” “No, you weren’t.” He looked up. Diane’s voice was gentle but unwavering. “True love doesn’t care how old or young you are.” Robert looked away again. “True love?” He swirled the whisky around his glass. “Diane… I’m marrying someone else.” “I know.” “I asked Chrissie to spend the rest of her life with me.” “And she’s a wonderful woman.” There wasn’t a hint of insincerity in Diane’s voice. “She’s kind. She’s funny. She clearly adores you.” Robert nodded. “She does.” “And I can see that you love her.” Diane sighed. “But, Robert…she isn’t Aaron.”

It's not like Robert is unused to headaches. You get hit around the head as often as he does, you become accustomed to a bit of pain. He's also gotten good at hiding them, so good in fact that sometimes he doesn't even realise he has a headache until he stops and thinks about it.

This headache is making itself known. As he walks through the farm, moving buckets of feed from one barn to the other, he tries to catalogue it. Tension headache? No, that would be wrapped around his head like a band. Dehydration? Usually hits him right behind the eyes. Sinus? Would be localised to, well, his sinuses. This is everywhere.

It's everywhere and it's sharp, and his head feels heavy with it, and he can't focus on it.

Fourth place is not a bad result, fourth place is not a bad result, fourth place is not a bad result. No matter how many times Robert repeats it, it doesn’t sound true. Nicola is flapping around him, as she is wont to do, and he’s really trying to keep a lid on his anger as he heads for his driver’s room, “Nicola!” he snaps, “Can you, please, leave me alone for like, ten minutes?” “I don’t want you destroying anything,” “I won’t. Promise.”  He smiles sweetly at her and watches her walk away. As soon as he opens the door he hurls his helmet at the wall with a yell. Aaron only just ducks out of the way in time, “Woah! What the fuck?”

He stopped and stared for a while at the crime scene before him, hay bales toppled where Robert had stood. It was just hay. Soft and harmless, shouldn't have been enough to topple a man like Robert, who got knocked about once a month by fists and cars and shovels and hammers–

Aaron clenched his fists. He would be better. He would protect him better.

In the corner of his eye, he saw something move behind the trailer, and he raised his fists by reflex.

“You can take those down, I'm not gonna jump ya.” Serena stepped out from behind the car with her hands raised. “I'm just here to talk.”
