Transcript:
Ivan: What if Iām just like.. a rebound or somethinā? I doubt he ever processed what happened tāSilas, not properly.
Courtney: I donāt know the guy enough to reassure you, but it sounds like heās pretty fond of you.
Ivan: Maybe Iām biased?
Courtney: Maybe. You trust him though, right?
Ivan: Yeah.
Courtney: Thatāll have to be enough then, we canāt predict the future.
Ivan: True.
Courtney: Iād say trust your gut. Although, that sentiment kinda got me kidnapped so.. pinch of salt and all that.
Ivan: Hm.
Courtney: What?
Ivan: Yādo the same thing as Oscar, make daft jokes about shit so you donāt gotta deal with how yāreally feel.
Courtney: Hah, my bad.
Ivan: Yācan always talk tāme, yāknow? Youāve had tādeal with a fair amount of bullshit recently.
Courtney: [sighs] I hate that Iām so scared to be alone; it feels pathetic needing a babysitter all the time.
Ivan: Fairly understandable, given what happened.
Courtney: Bleh. I try not to think about it.
Ivan: I get that, but it aināt gonna help you get over it... Yāshould talk to a professional. I promise itās worth it, I barely recognise myself since I started seeinā a proper therapist. Iāve been tryna convince Oscar tādo the same for a while.
Courtney: He never liked asking for helpā¦ I suppose heāll have to speak to someone whilst heās in rehab, wonāt he?
Ivan: I assume so, I bet they have a whole team oā folk.
Courtney: I wish I could visit.
Ivan: I doubt heād want yāseeinā what heās goinā through right now.
Courtney: Probably not.
Ivan: Cāmon, letās wander.
Courtney: Is that detective still refusing to talk to you?
Ivan: [sighs] Yeah. I either come across like a wet fuckinā blanket, or an angry prick. Oscarās way more convincinā.
Courtney: His resolve is contagious, especially when heās sober nā full of beans.
Ivan: I donāt think Iāve ever met a fully clean Oscar.
Courtney: Itās been a while. Heās not that much different, more optimistic maybe; he used to laugh a lot more. I know rehabās not gonna instantly fix everything, but itās a step in the right direction. I just hope heās okayā¦

the fake dating au
(which must be actually written properly by me very soon)Ā
~ robert is this really hard working business man who just isnāt given the break by his boss (aka lawrence white) who just hates him for never following through with a proposal with chrissie and basically dumping her arseĀ
~ robās like a free little bird and basically has no real ties, no home (he rents), no family, and itās not good for lawrence because he could up and leave any secondĀ
~ and also robert is robert so builds up a great rapport with clients and it only pisses lawrence off further basicallyĀ
~ anyways so robert has vic and itās her wedding day, he goes alone and everyoneās dishing out the whole āwhen will you settle down loveā talk to him (especially diane) and he just isnāt having any of itĀ
~ then he clocks eyes with the bloke recording the wedding there and itās all awkward because vic is like pressing for them to talk because the camera guy is adamās best mate, is gay and well she is dying for her brother to just settle the hell down with someoneĀ
~ aaron is like ā¦ Charmed and gets all weirdly smitten by robert in the space of like one night and itās all really cute and awkwardĀ
~ robert records a message for vic and adam and says something like āhopefully iāll find an idiot to marry one day tooā and aaron is all cute and tries to ask him out for a drink but robert just doesnāt get the subtleties at all and just thinks aaron is banging on about living in yorkshire and travelling down to london for the wedding
~ and then comes the whole throwing the bouquet thing and vic thinks itās funny to throw it at rob and he catches it, everyone starts laughing and then aaronās like shoved on his knee and itās so Awkward and then someone takes a picture of them looking at each other weirdly loved up
~ anyway so a few days later ā¦ robert wants a higher position (naturally) but soon realises that he wonāt be given one because of his lifestyle and the fact that lawrence canāt guarantee he would stick around for years because itās not like he needs to support a family, or pay off a mortgage or whateverĀ
~ heās like hellllaaaa pissed and then all of a sudden, lawrence is like āfine then, i wonāt judge, you can have the raise and the office and a better titleā
~ Ā robert is like ??? and then it turns out that they all think that heās engaged ā¦ to wedding video guy all because of vic and her big mouth and the fact that she showed lawrence the picture of them looking like they actually liked each otherĀ
~ itās all mad but at least robert has the job and then a girl from the office below them ~ letās say her nameās lola for the lols ~ starts becoming interested in him out of nowhere and he realises itās because heās sort of off limits now and thatās somehow dangerous to her and heās a proper bad boy nowĀ
~ so they start sleeping together, her fully knowing that everyone thinks heās seeing this bloke who heās made out is like some hot shot āfilm makerā and of course everyone just believes him
~ then bang, shit hits the fan because aaron goes and bloody makes himself a hero, heās suddenly on the news because whilst filming a wedding, a fire broke out and he managed to save a little girlās life and everyone is like what!a!hero!
~ robert loses his shit completely because everyone starts asking him questions about his brave hero fiancĆ© and heās just like ā¦ noooo oh my gosh noooo
~ vic is all apoplectic and starts saying that she had no idea it would be so public, that it will die down but then lawrence is all like āthe owners of harding and ryle are really interested in this, theyāve offered to buy you and aaron dinner whenever youāre freeā and robert canāt do anything about itĀ
~ so he ends up meeting up with aaron and aaron is just the same, sort of hates all the attention and pats on the backs he receives from people around, and he is like so happy to see robert again but he suppresses it as best he can and gives robert the chance to say why heās rocked up
~ so robert is all like āwell uh - a lie sort of got out of hand and now i really need you to come down to london with me and pretend that weāre engaged for just like one dinner and then you can break up with me really epically and youāll never have to see me again. please?ā
~ he offers to pay for everything as well and thatās when aaron gets all sad and annoyed about it because heās like āmate, keep your money, i was thinking about going down to london anyway, asking vic for your number and seeing if you want a drink soā¦ donāt worry about itā
~ and robertās all stunned and a little bit flattered by it but ignores that and just thanks aaron for sort of agreeingĀ
~ so then aaron like fully comes down to london, comes right into the office and robert does the whole snog your face off with aaron in front of everyone to prove how much they love each other and even whisper something like āgrab my arse and pull me into the officeā and itās just Insane
~ Ā shows him around his flat, shows him the sofa heāll have to sleep on because itās only a one bedroom flat, and itās all cute and sweet and aaron is like enjoying himself a little too much if heās honestĀ
~ robert is robert and gives him this manual to look over and itās got everything he needs to know about their 'relationshipā andĀ then he leaves for 'workā (lola rings him - booty call basically) and he goes running, but it gets interrupted when aaron shows up out of the blue and sort of makes a show of rob in the middle of the hotelĀ
~ aaronās all like āsheās your girlfriend? why am i even here?ā and rob has to tell him to chill the hell out because itās not a big deal and he needs to stop making out like it is - and aaron hates that he's bloody jealous ??
~ that night rob sort of opens up about what heās written in the lil manual and it gets all deep because he mentions his dad and his mum and the watch he always regretted pawning after he left home because his dad gave it to him
he doesnāt even know why heās telling aaron but itās like so easy and he just starts realising how soft aaron is and itās so fluffyĀ
~ by the next day aaron is like an official member of robertās fan club and he knows all about robertās life, his favourite colour, how he likes his coffee, and literally just everything and he is just fully Ready for this nice little date night dinner theyāre havingĀ
~ Ā robert gets a lil awkward because itās like aaron doesnāt remember whatās happening that night ā¦ the whole breaking up thing and he has to remind aaron before they leaveĀ
~ and aaronās all like āyeah of courseā about it as he just canāt stop making heart eyes at robert and then robertās all like ānice acting there, save it for the table though plsā and aaron has to shrug it off with a laugh when heās really dying inside because the last thing he wants to do is stop seeing robertĀ
~ so they have this nice dinner and everyone is like full of compliments for them and how amazing they look together and everyone LOVES aaron, one client even says āyou can see how much he thinks of youā to robert about aaron and robert is like flawed because he doesnāt want #feelings over aaron at all
~ like the night keeps going on and on and robert is almost waiting for aaron to start banging on about how robert works too much and that he isnāt committed but it just doesnāt happen, aaron keeps shifting the conversation and then theyāre all dancing and aaron feels all tingly when robert holds his waist just ā¦ becauseĀ
~ and so he plucks up the courage to actually say āyou know i donāt mind coming down a few weekends, maybe you donāt need to end this tonight ā¦ā and robert gets all pissed like āthis is why i should have paid you!ā because the last thing he wants right now is to see aaron for any longerĀ
~ they go back to the table and then robert starts really messing with things like saying āoh aaron by the way i canāt come to your family thing because of work sorryā but aaron is just like all smiles and really not letting robert break it off so easilyĀ
~ so robert has to step it up a gear and pretends that someoneās called aaron and itās his 'bit on the sideā suddenly everyone is like tut tut maybe this bloke isnāt amazing anymore and robert says something like āiām sorry but you went against our - commitment to each other, our deal and - if iām honest, youāre not as nice as i first thought you wereā
~ aaron sees through it and like internally just says 'fineā and starts letting rip, banging on about how he doesnāt give a toss about him, how robert never even tried to understand him just a little because all he cares about is work ā¦ robert thinks heās just acting and then he says something like āto think i was actually fallen in -ā and aaron turns so red that he has to just run out of the restaurant because heās so embarrassedĀ
~ robert finds him later and tries joking about it all, saying that aaron deserves an oscar for his performance and aaron tries to laugh it off but itās so clear that he meant what he said
~ robās all like āmaybe i could buy you a drink before you leave ā¦ā but when aaron actually goes to actually accept suddenly lola parks up and robertās all like āiāll see ya back at the flat later yeah?"Ā
~ robās with lola and proper trying to get into it but then heās like ā¦ "i need to go, sorryā because he feels so bad ?? because heās made aaron look like a dick in front of important people and itās not fair at all
~ when he gets back, aaron is like already packing his things away and when robert tries to explain to him that heās sorry, aaronās all cut off and reservedĀ
~ Ā then the phone rings and itās diane who is dying to have a word with aaron, robert tries to make an excuse and then aaron actually speaks to her and heās so soft and warm with her and robert is like Charmed and it takes him by surpriseĀ
~ heās all like ā¦ ālisten maybe you were right about ā¦ about you know, you coming down a few weekendsā and aaron gets this hopeful look in his eyes and promises to sleep on itĀ
~ robertāsĀ all happy, almost giddy about it and he tells vic that maybe aaronās actually going to stick around for a lil longer ā¦ lawrence overhears and heās all like - āiāve checked into this aaron and itās not pretty, he might be a hero but he wasnāt always like that trust me, if you carry on with him then - thereās the doorā
~ and robert is like crushed ??? because he doesnāt know what to do but then heās robert so he blocks out his feelings and sort of lets aaron know that lawrence knows about his criminal charges and doesnāt want someone from his business with someone like that and he can see how hurt aaron looks
~ but aaron just shakes it off and goes like āwell we werenāt really dating so it doesnāt matter, look iām going now okay?ā
~ and then things get all Emotional and robert blocks the door all like āyou were always just supposed to go away ā¦ donāt make it hard now"Ā and aaron just pushes past him, wonāt accept the money and leavesĀ
~ robert is the definition of a #kicked puppyā¢ and he goes around acting like one until he has to present this new business venture idea in front of a new client and then he finds that aaron found the watch his dad gave him - the one he pawned when he left home and itās like the most Sweetest thing anyone has ever done for him and he is just blown awayĀ
~ so he goes up on stage and is just like "i canāt present today ā¦ because - because of aaron, i lied about everythingā and everyone is so shocked about it and lola is like wtf but he doesnāt even care because he just knows that heās going to be sacked so he starts collecting all his stuff but lawrence actually stops him!!
~ lawrence is all like āitāll take a few days to smooth this over ā¦ why donāt you go up to yorkshire and sort things outā
~ and robert actually goes because he canāt stop thinking about aaron and he finds out where he leaves and itās so damn dainty and cute and he doesnāt know what else to say but āthanks for the watch"Ā
~ and aaron tries telling him to leave him alone because he doesnāt like being messed about but robertās all like pls just listen but aaron just won'tĀ
~ in comes chas who lets robert know that aaronās working in the local church that night and that he should go and see him because "he hasnāt stopped banging on about investment banking and it must have something to do with you judging from your suitā
~ so robert is like all awkward, standing behind aaron who is filming this wedding and he wonāt leave his side until the reception and he explains himselfĀ
~ cue mushy shit like: āyeah iām an idiot, and iām manipulative and i donāt care about anyoneās feelings but my own and iām - iām so stupid for letting you go like that. but i miss you, i miss seeing you sleeping on my sofa and - well i donāt want you on my sofa anymore if you know what i meanā
~ and aaronās all shy suddenly and doesnāt know what to say but, āi really really like ya, so this - i canāt do this iām sorryā and he knows it doesnāt make sense but robert seems to get it because he says āi wouldnāt hurt you"Ā
~ aaron doesnāt say anything, just looks away and then robert sighs and says "okay yeah i probably would, more than once if iām honest, but - but you make me want to be good and - maybe youāll be the idiot i want to marry one dayā
~ that makes aaron look up, eyes all watery and then he just marches towards robert and snogs the lights out of him and robert pulls away and says āi could love youā and then aaron just shrugs like āmaybe i already doā and robert is just like stunned completely because someone might love him, someone good might love him and itās everything he needs to knowĀ
~ Ā and then it finishes and we DIE
