Rare Pair Week - Day 7: Free Space

this is a new fic i'm working on, set in an alternate universe where supernatural creatures run rampant and it's up to our beloved emmerdale characters to... "take care" of them.

“Sorry, I-” he stops.

As soon as Robert sees his face he’s taken back to heavy nights, filled with nursing wounds and cheap whisky and hands covering every inch of skin available.

“Aaron?” Robert looks around as if on instinct. As if this is some kind of joke thought of by someone more powerful than him.

10 Things I Hate About You - AU

A/N: So what started as a post I made in 2 minutes is now a multi chapter fic (or will be). Just a short first chapter because I don’t have the time and energy for more right now but I still wanted to post something tonight...

I want to get the whole thing done soon-ish because of the 50 thousand other projects I have on the go, so I think you can expect quick updates.

Let me know what you think!

“Bro, I need your help.” Aaron jumped when Adam clapped him on the shoulder.

“Need my help with what?”

“You know Victoria Sugden, right?”

“The girl you’ve been crushing on since the beginning of time? Sure. When are you finally going to grow a pair and ask her out?” Aaron asked but then realised something. “No. I’m not asking her out for you. We’re not in primary school anymore.”

“No, no, I asked her out myself.” Adam sat down next to him.

“And she turned you down?” Aaron guess. “I’m not talking her into going out with you either. You’re not that special.”

“Cheers, bro. Way to make me feel loved.” Adam said pretending to be hurt. “But no, she didn’t turn me down so I don’t need you to convince her.” He continued.

“Then what do you need my help for?”

“Well, you see, her dad has this weird old fashioned rule… about his daughter dating anyone.”

“Hmm… and he doesn’t approve of you?”

“No. Yes. I don’t know. Maybe?” Adam paused, temporarily distracted. “No, he has this rule, that Vic can’t date anyone unless her older brother is.”

“What kind of stupid rule is that?”

“I don’t know mate, I don’t know. But it is what it is, so that’s where you come in.”

“Me?”

“Yes. You.”

Aaron gave him a confused look.

“I need you to hook up with Robert so I can take Vic out!” Adam said happily, like he’d just solved the world’s mysteries.

“You what?”

“You don’t have to marry the guy. Just seduce him so I can take Vic out.”

“Just seduce him? How? Is he even into blokes?”

“Yeah, yeah, he’s bi. You’ll be fine. You’re just his type.”
