TW: mentions of abuse

Both Jawn and Otto don't want to leave the hotel until the early afternoon comes and Geoff and Lucas have gone elsewhere together for food, so that leaves Awsten and Hope with each other. 

"Awsten, hurry up, I want to leave soon!" Hope calls to Awsten. He's still in the bathroom getting ready by himself, Hope wonders what he's doing and walk in the room, Awsten is just finishing buttoning his shirt. He's wearing a yellow floral shirt and black skinny jeans.

Awsten hears the door open and his eyes find hers. "Y-you look amazing." Awsten says shyly. After what he had talked about with her earlier, he's not sure of what to say anymore. "Now I wish I dressed a little better."

Hope walks up to help Awsten with the last few buttons of his shirt, as she notices he's struggling.

"Hey, you look so much better than what you say you look like." She assures him.

Awsten's mind goes on autopilot and gives Hope a quick kiss. He can't help it, though. Awsten notices blush rising on Hope's face, and she turns away, embarrassed. 

"Don't get embarrassed now." Awsten grabs her hand and gently tugs her back to him in a hug. "Thank you again, for everything." He whispers in her ear.

Hope feels shivers being sent down her spine at just the small things he does. 

She pulls away slowly, completely flustered, Awsten giggles (why do I not like this word anymore) and leads Hope out the bathroom door. "Now let's go, after all, you do want to leave soon. And did I say that you look amazing? Y'know, it doesn't matter if I did already, you look amazing.

"Well maybe one day I can wear one of your florals, hm?" Hope nudges his shoulder with her fist.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Awsten smiles.

Hope grabs her bag and pulls it over her shoulder, then the two walk out of the door together. 

Hope knows they're going to be seen together and things are going to be spread around about them, but as long as none of what the say is true, there's really nothing to worry about. Awsten isn't ready for a relationship and with everything that's going on with Malaki, Hope has to clear all that up with them.

For now they have to keep it clear to the public that they are nothing more than just friends, even if they've done some stuff, which they're only going to keep between the two of them.

The two of them decide just to walk together and find anywhere they can get a place to eat. Of course there are paparazzi and other people taking pictures, Hope doesn't mind until her phone goes off with notifications from Twitter she's been tagged in.
