1D AND 5SOS One Shots

Hashton - Park

Harry slowly makes his way to the park. He just got back from University. He's on a short break and is overwhelmed with all the people that texted him when they found out he was home. He didn't reply though. He just wants to see one person before he's has to leave again. Ashton.

Harry steps onto the grass of the familiar park from his childhood. He looks around and he gaze lands on his curly haired friend. Ashton is sitting on top of the monkey bars, his long legs slowly swinging back and forth. One mistake Harry made with going away to University was not to saying goodbye to Ashton. He was confused and stupid, completely ignoring Ashton's calls and texts until he was gone. Causing Ashton to become quite pissed.

Harry steps forward and a twig snaps under his weight echoing through the air. Ashton's head whips around and his hazel eyes land on Harry. Harry sends him a sheepish smile causing Ashton to roll his eyes and go back to staring at the swings in front of him.

Damn, he didn't want Ashton to know he was there yet. He was still mentally preparing himself.

Harry picks up his pace, until he's standing next to the ladder to the monkey bars. The wind picks up and he wraps his jacket tighter around himself before climbing the ladder. He settles himself down next to Ashton and pulls his hood over his head.

This reminds Harry of all the times him and Ashton met up here after school when Ashton got picked on or when Harry's parents were fighting and he couldn't stand the screaming anymore.

Harry sighs and glances at Ashton out of the corner of his eye, Ashton's jaw is clenched and his grip on the monkey bars is causing his knuckles to turn white. "Hi." Harry finally says and Ashton's head snaps over to look at Harry. Ashton's hazel eyes burning with rage.

"Hi? You leave for four months to University without saying goodbye and all you say is hi?" Ashton snaps causing Harry to flinch.

"I'm sorry, I was confused and being stupid. I should have talked to you." Harry groans running a hand over his face.

"Damn right you were being stupid." Ashton says studying in side of Harry's face. Harry turns to look at Ashton to boy he's come to love, he reaches up to touch Ashton's cheek. Ashton is quick to react and shoves Harry off the monkeys bars before Harry can touch him.

Harry groans and rolls onto his back clutching his knee. Ashton stares at Harry groaning in pain on the ground and slowly starts to feel bad. He came here to tell Harry how he feels, not shove he off the monkey bars. No matter how great it made him feel.

Ashton sighs and jumps down from the monkey bars. Ashton walks over to Harry and hold out his hand. Harry's green eyes scan Ashton's face for any trace of anger then grabs Ashton's hand. Ashton pulls Harry in his feet and into a hug. Harry quickly wraps his arms around Ashton's waist and pulls him close. Burying his face in Ashton's neck Harry breathes in the familiar scent of he's best friend and love.

Ashton giggles causing Harry to perk up.

"Did you just giggle?" Harry asks leaning back to look Ashton in the eye's.

"That tickled." Ashton says giggling again. Harry smiles.

"I love you Ashton." Harry says then he waits. It just kind of slipped out. Ashton smiles.

"I love you too Harry." Ashton says, Harry's heart skips a beat then he pauses. Ashton probably doesn't mean it the same way Harry does. Ashton's smile turns into a frown when he sees Harry's facial expression. Harry lets Ashton go, running a hand through his chocolate curls, he turns away.

"What's wrong Harry?" Ashton questions the older boy.

"What do you mean when you say 'I love you'?" Harry asks. 

"Huh?" Ashton replies, clearly confused. He means 'I love you'. Does that have more than one meaning?

"Do you mean is as friends or something else?" Harry asks trailing off at the end. Ashton just smiles and shakes his head causing Harry to raise an eyebrow. Ashton takes a step closer to Harry and then presses his lips to Harry's briefly before pulling away.

"Does that answer your question?" Ashton asks grabbing Harry's hand linking their fingers together.

"If I said no, will you kiss me again?" Harry asks smirking.
