5SOS One Shots

Daddys approval - Ashton Irwin

Me and Ashton were on our way to my dads house, who he was meeting for the first time and I was feeling sick to my stomach. Ash had tattoos, piercings, dyed hair and huge ass muscles, which I loved, but I know my dad wouldn't be fond of anything, at all, okay maybe the dimples, everyone loved the dimples. We arrived and I knocked on the door, Ashton's hand in mine, his thumb stroking my knuckles to try and soothe me, which was kind of working. My dad answered the door, an arm around his new wife, Kate, who I hated with a burning passion. This is the woman that tore my family apart and I would forever hate her for that.

I glared at her before introducing Ashton to my dad and her.

"Hi Zoë, how are you?" It asked me with a fake ass smile. I growled and Ashton squeezed my hand firmly. I looked up at him and he gave me a stern look, which I understood. We walked into the house and dinner was about to be served, so we sat next to each other, opposite my dad and Kate.

"So Ashton," my dad started. Oh fuck. "What do you do for a living?" My dad started off easy, but I knew he wouldn't like Ash's answer.

"I'm in a band." Ashton said confidently, looking at me and smiling, which I returned.

"You're what?" My dad choked.

"Ummm... Yeah I'm in a band called 5 seconds of summer with my three best friends and we're-" Ashton tried to explain, but my dad cut him off.

"No." He stated bluntly.

"Dad-" I tried to say something but he cut me off too.

"No buts Zoë, he can't support you financially and he wouldn't be there most of the time even if it did go somewhere." My dad told me with a straight face.

"Dad, this boy saved my life, I was a fan of the band before we met, he saved me from my depression, which in fact, you weren't even aware of, and his band has millions of fans already and I don't care about money, I just want Ashton, I love him!" I stood up, shouting at my dad.

"Zoë..." My dad warned.

"No dad, I'm sick of you doing this to every boyfriend I ever have, I'm sick of all the disapproval and the snide comments, I love him dad, Ashton isn't like the others, he is the one, and I know I've said that before, but this time I mean it!" Tears were falling down my face as I screamed at my dad, Ashton and Kate had matching looks of shock on their faces and my dad was getting even angrier.

"Love? Ha! You don't know a fucking thing about love!" He shouted, standing up.

"And you do! You don't look at Kate the way I look at Ashton, you don't laugh, you don't play, you don't touch her, you don't know the meaning of the world and you still wouldn't understand it if it hit you in the face!" I screamed, tears falling even faster.

Ashton stood up and hugged me, kissing my cheek and letting me burry my face in his chest.
"Zoë, baby, let me talk to him..." Ashton said, sitting me back down.

"Taylor..." Ashton started, but my dad cut him off.

"That's Mr. McKenzie to you." He stated bluntly, glaring at Ashton.

"Mr. McKenzie, I don't care what you say, I love your daughter, and you don't think that I will support her, then go ahead, but I have money, my band is touring all around the world and I won't forget her, I'm not leaving her behind, she's coming with me and I don't care what you say in all honesty, because I know Zoë and she's been through so much, so much shit that you put her through. Don't tell her who she can and can't love, because that's just like telling someone you can only breathe this type of air. I want Zoë, I want her to be mine for the rest of my life and I'm willing to fight for her, I'll do whatever it for her to be mine, I just want to make her happy, to see her beautiful smile and to wake up to it every morning." Ashton looked at my dad with hope in his eyes, I was still crying and my dad was trying not to.

"You have my blessings." My dad smiled at Ashton and I stood up, shock all over my face.

"What?" I asked, Ashton's arms wrapped around my waist as I was standing in front of him.

"You're the only one who has ever stood up to me like that, just to have my little girl. Not boy has ever done that before and that's what I needed for her, I needed the guy that would put up a fight for her, who was so desperate not to lose her that he would fight for her, and that's why you're perfect together. I see the way you look at her, it's not just puppy love, it's meant to be." My dad said, tears in his eyes.

"Thanks daddy" I said, walking round the table to hug my dad. I laughed as Ashton's head snapped towards my direction when I said daddy.

My dad let go of the hug and walked around the table to Ashton, shaking his hand and pulling him in for a hug, patting him in the back.

"You're her world Kid, don't let her down."
-_-_-_-_-_-

We were finishing our meals when I realised that my glass was empty.

"Hey daddy, can you get me another drink please." I asked politely.

"Of course," I heard two voices reply and I looked up to see that ashton and my dad were now both sanding up. I choked and Kate looked at me, trying to hold back her laughs. Ashton gulped as my dad's stone cold gaze was locked on Ashton.

"IRWIN!" My dad shouted, as Ashton quickly bent down to kiss me and grabbing his jacket before sprinting across the dining room, through the lounge, where he ran up an armchair and jumped off the back of it as it toppled backward, just because, and ran out of the door, my dad chasing him down the street, me and Kate laughing and struggling to breathe, clutching our stomachs.
