Summary
Robert's only managed shallow breaths, shaking hands, hollow smiles, and empty words since Kev threatened them and left like the coward he is.
Aaron swallows harshly – Kev stole Robert's breath, his peace of mind, and ran away, and Aaron would stop breathing entirely if that meant Robert could take one complete breath again.
Or: A look inside Aaron's mind the night of Kev's attack. Everything about them has changed, but their love is the one thing that's stayed the same.

Summary
“Ya know,” Kev starts conversationally, arms still behind his back, “I knew blokes like ya inside.”
It's a strange segue, but John refuses to let this man throw him off anymore. John watches as Kev crosses the room, seemingly without a care in the world, but he can see the tension in Kev's shoulders, the tick of his jaw, his eyes hard even as his tone is light. He's a weathered string pulled taut, full of tension, or like – John's eyes flick down to Kev's wrist – a rubber band waiting to snap.
John hums, inclining his head, “I doubt that.”
Kev turns to John, eyes widening just a bit, a ghost of a grin on his face. “Nah, it's true,” He waves his hand over his eyes, “got the beady little eyes an' everythin'.”
Or: John's never found out and is still around when Kev comes to Emmerdale. He observes, plots, and realizes Kev is an obstacle he never could've foreseen in his pursuits to bring Robert down

Summary
Aaron swallows hard, biting his lower lip. Everything between them – every word, every shared look, every breath – has a history. It's too much right now. Aaron called Robert, needed to see him, wanted to see him, but it feels like there's a gulf between them, and Aaron doesn't know how to bridge the gap—two marriages, kids, a divorce, a new husband, and now a murderer between them.
This – them – feels too big for Aaron, feels like too much.
“Maybe this was a mistake.” Aaron croaks out finally, after a long silence.
“Why?” Robert challenges, that haughty tone in his voice. It's familiar, yet ill-placed on this soft, well-worn version of Robert. Aaron finds himself charmed by it.
Or: Aaron keeps his promise to a friend, Robert breaks his promise to Chas.

Summary
“So basically, you've been having sex with Aaron and Robert.” Matty summarizes without a hint of judgment. If Mack's not mistaken, Matty sounds a bit impressed by it. Which he should, being honest. Not only did Mack pull one fit bloke, he pulled two, at the same damn time.
Mack nods. “Right, but it's not just that.” He sighs, making sure he meets Matty's eyes head-on. “I want more.”
Matty blinks, looking bewildered. “More sex?” He practically squeaks.
“What? No, well –“ A pause. “Yeah, I definitely want more sex, but I also want more with them. I want a proper relationship with both of them.”
Or: Mack struggles with wanting more out of his relationship with Aaron and Robert, seeks advice from a surprising source, and finds that sometimes the things most worth having are the easiest to get
