Summary
Aaron works as a barista at Brew & Bite, a cosy, slightly scruffy coffee shop in the next town over from Emmerdale.
Robert moved away as a teenager, made a life elsewhere, and returned in his late twenties. Now he’s 40, sharply dressed, confident, a bit posh (or at least acting like it), and definitely hiding the fact he’s bisexual.
None of this stops him from immediately developing a crush on the grumpy barista who annoys him, challenges him, and calls him out on his stupid coffee orders.
And definitely none of it stops him from flirting.
Aaron pretends to hate it.
He does not hate it.Bookmarked by butyouknowiknow

Summary
AU. It's the end of 2010. Almost a year before, after a long relationship with Victoria Sugden, Aaron came out. Their relationship had dissolved into an awkward state and then she discovered his internet history and everything made sense. His acceptance of it, after much confusion, anger and upset, was aided by the support of her and best friend Adam. Aaron's starting to think about the future and his sexuality but Victoria is driving everyone crazy with her excitement of one thing - her brother Robert is returning home after more than five years away. When Robert crosses paths with Aaron, the attraction and antagonism is immediate, but it's not long before Aaron finds out Robert's biggest secret and that might just change everything between them.

Summary
For as long as Aaron can remember he’s had this itch between his shoulder blades. It's a constant hum and tingle along his spine, sometimes ebbing and flowing, but always there. Recently the pain has come with nightmares.
