Punks Meet Flower Crowns >> Lashton AU ✔️

49. ~ At Least

Note: Updating because it's 2:40 in the morning, I have class at 9:30 and finals are slowly sending me into a spiraling vortex of helplessness and depression.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END!

Time: 11:00 pm.
Setting: Hallway Outside Luke's Room.

Luke: (sees Ashton sleeping outside his room) Oh, koala. (bends down, shaking Ashton's shoulders) Ashton, wake up. Ashton. (Ashton shrugs him off, covers his face with his hands)

Alex: (standing behind Luke, worried) Is he drunk? Need help carrying him in?

Luke: (shakes head) No, I just need help opening the door. (hands Alex his room key) I got him. (picks Ashton up, stumbles slightly) Ugh-shit.

Alex: (opens door, steps in) You sure you don't need help, dude? You look like you're gonna fall over.

Luke: (adjusts Ashton) I'm fine. Sometimes, I forget that he's 6 feet tall and not the tiny child he pretends to be. (walks in) I'm going to put him in my room. You're free to raid the fridge. I have bottled water and some soda, I think. (heads towards his room, mumbling) Need to go shopping.

Alex: (calls out) Holler if you need anything! (pauses) Or if he wakes up and goes all Incredible Hulk on your ass.

Luke: (chuckles, struggles to slide the bedroom door open) Ah, shit. (stumbles)

Ashton: (stirs, wakes up, blinking wildly) Huh? (voice cracking) Lukey?

Luke: (smiles at him, gets door open) Hey, there, koala bear. (slow, so as not to startle Ashton) You alright? Need anything?

Ashton: (shakes head, buries face in Luke's shoulder) Sleepy...

Luke: (sets him down on his bed) I'll just help you undress so you can sleep.

Ashton: (sleepy giggle) Don't touch me too much. (teasing) I just might like it.

Luke: (laughs, starts pulling off Ashton's shoes, socks, then pants, leaves his shirt) Just rest, Ashton. I'll go get you some water before you sleep, aye?

Ashton: (snuggling into the pillow) Okey.

Luke: (pats his hair, walks out the door to the kitchen, sees Alex standing there) Hey, mate. Sorry about that.

Alex: (kindly) It's fine. (pauses) So, that's him?

Luke: (grabs bottled water from the refrigerator) Yeah. Ashton Fletcher Irwin. Straight, flower-wearing man-child with mood swings and an ex-wife to boot. (chuckles) Did I mention he was studying Biology?

Alex: (laughs) At least, he's cute.

Luke: (snorts) At least, there's that.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (PLEASE READ)

So, throughout the end of the semester and all through summer, I will be working on a new book. It will be a collection of various Lashton oneshots that I will be writing myself (or co-write, if anyone is up for it). I'm looking forward to this project as all the oneshots will be more for stress relief and will consist of both non-mature and mature content.

THAT BEING SAID!

I ask that you, as readers, send me various prompts that you would like to see featured in this book. I am looking for, AT LEAST, ten different prompts. These can be a kink, AU, etc. and you can tell me if you want it to be mature or not. If this oneshot collection goes well, I may decide to do more Lashton fics/oneshots as I honestly feel that there are not enough of them on Wattpad (not enough good ones, anyway).

So, please! Send me a DM or comment a prompt down below. I will be giving credit/dedicating each oneshot to those whose prompts I use. Thank you!

Comment 'llamas' if you actually read til the end. Hah.
