Lashton One-Shots

You Keep Me Safe, You Keep Me Sane

Sorry I didn't post anything last weekend that was because a, I was super busy and b, I was working on this. I hope this can make up for that.

So I got this idea for this one shot off of a prompt post on tumblr by'bellarkemorelikebaellarke'. And I saw that post and fell in love with a few of the ideas, this one especially and I was like hey, I think I can write this. And then the next day at school we had a lockdown practice, so that was obviously a sign from the universe that I should write this.

The title is from Edge of Tonight off of All Time Low's new album Future Hearts, which if you haven't listened to it yet, what are you doing with your life? Edge of Tonight is on the side and it's definitely my fav, I love everything about it, I love how visual it is and the background music is so pretty, and so is Alex's voice ofc. And I just really love this song, it's definitely my fav off the album although I love them all. And I love Edge of Tonight so much I'm including a scene based off of it in my hockey fic 'When We Live Such Fragile Lives'.

Also I got spotify and it's lukeyirwie, no underscore. I haven't made any playlists on there yet but I want to start soon. I want to make a really sad Lashton one to torture myself, and because of what's going on rn. Which I have a tumblr post about that linked in a message on my account so you can check that out if you want. I hope it can kind of restore your faith in Lashton bc people are abandoning the ship and not posting in the tag and I don't like it at all.

But I'll also make a happy one and by 'happy' i mean it won't be sad songs, not that it'll be any less painful. And I'm also making one for when we live such fragile lives because I know a bunch of songs that could go with it. But that won't be until later into that story as I'm just starting it and Lashton haven't even met yet. So yeah if you're interested in those you can follow me.

But anyways onto the fic which is Lashton, it's all Lashton, with no one to interfere, I'm sure you can all appreciate that rn.

Luke always has to pee at the worst times and he is almost certain that his bladder hates him.

Like the many times he went to the movies with his best friends, Calum and Michael, and ended up missing the most important part because he was in the bathroom. Sure Michael always explained what he missed but it's not actually seeing it. It happens so frequently that Luke is almost certain they put something in the $25 popcorn that always makes him have to pee at the worst times, hoping it'll make him want to come back and see the movie again just to see the part he missed. But Luke sees right through their plan and he's not wasting his limited amount of money on that. He'll just find a pirated version online if the movie is that important to him.

Another time it happened on a date, Luke's very first date. Luke was a shy awkward little freshman and he actually managed to get a date with a boy a whole year older than him. Which, at fourteen, was a huge deal for him. And this boy was really attractive and popular and Luke would always hear the girls in his class whisper to each other about this boy. So when the boy asked Luke out of course he said yes, while stuttering and blushing like the awkward loser he is.

And of course he immediately told Calum and Michael who let their inner 'wingman' show and told Luke a bunch of tips for the date. Luke decided not to tell them that he didn't think they were the best people to get dating advice from, as Calum had been on many dates with many different girls and they often didn't talk to him after because he would end up focusing all his attention on the movie rather than the girl he was with or eating all the popcorn, and Michael was as inexperienced as Luke, because good friends don't mention things like that. Besides, Michael and Calum were the only people willing to listen to Luke gush about boys so Luke figured he shouldn't piss them off.
