Summary
Robert tilts his head slightly. “Fair point. So… aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Aaron shrugs. “I’m going home now.”
Robert moves closer so the two of them are practically toe-to-toe. A tingle spreads from Aaron’s neck to his hip.
“Invite me there instead, then,” Robert says smoothly.Aaron instinctively steps backwards, his back hitting the portacabin door. He can’t deal with this right now; it’s not how they work. They don’t do flirting in broad daylight. They barely interact when there isn’t some sort of event (and booze) dragging them together.

Summary
The audience all begin to clap like seals in some kind of waterpark show in Tenerife, and Aaron rolls his eyes and joins in too when Mack elbows him in the ribs and nods in the direction of Nicola from HR, who is frowning at him from across the room with beady eyes. Aaron sighs through his nose and turns his gaze back towards the front, raises an eyebrow in curiosity when he sees the twitch of unease in Robert’s almost photoshoot perfect grin as he takes Lawrence’s hand and squeezes tight.
“I give it six months before he’s caught shagging one of the salesgirls over his desk.” Mack murmurs to him from the corner of his mouth; Aaron snorts and tilts his head in further towards him.
“Bet you a tenner it’s five.”

Until it does.AKA Season three of Skam but it's Robron. You don't have to be familiar with (either of) the series to follow this story.

Summary
“What’s your name then, Bartender?”
“Who’s asking?”
Aaron smiles. “Well, me, I guess, the bloke you keep pouring pints for?”
“Robert,” he provides.
“Robert,” Aaron enunciates, liking the sound of the name on his tongue. “Tell me, since you’re a bartender and all, what is the meaning of life?”
“You adhering to stereotypes now?” Robert questions with a sly look in his eye. “You know bartenders aren’t qualified to be actual therapists?”
___
Or: Aaron meets Robert one day behind the bar at The Lonely Badger, and the connection between them is practically instant. For a man who prefers to let people go rather than let them in, it's utterly terrifying, but still, he can't stop pursuing him. When he finds out who Robert really is, and that their connection goes even deeper than they ever thought possible, what started as a drink across a bar forces them to break free from the ghosts they've both kept hidden away.
