Sometimes you just need to admire the sheer lunacy of Robert and Aaron’s desire for each other.
2014: Robert lies to a mechanic about car trouble so he can finally kiss him and maybe sleep with him. (Later lies to his fiancé after sex so he can go see the mechanic for more sex.)
2018: Aaron lies to a doctor about being sick so he can think about how close he came to kissing Robert and getting back together. (Later, calls Robert, only he freezes and doesn’t say anything.)
