5SOS IMAGINES

long day - ashton (bf)

you have had the worst day at work, there was no particular reason why, only it had been stressful and tiring. at this point the only thing you wanted to do was get home, cuddle up with your boyfriend and watch a movie.

the whole drive home from work was a blur and before you know it you are sliding your key into the front door of your shared home, swinging it open with a sigh. you look around for ashton, but he is no where to be seen.

looking down as you take off your shoes, you see his in their usual spot. assuming he is in the basement, you make your way down to his studio, stopping as you hear the beautiful sound of his voice accompanied by a guitar. it had only been a week since the release of 5sos5 and he couldn't help himself, singing your favourite song - older, whenever he had the chance.

you smile slightly, the biggest one today and leant yourself against the railing just listening to his voice and guitar drift up the stairs.

after the song ends, you hear him shuffling around, considering the time, most likely packing up and about to head up to bed. this signals you to straighten your self from the railing, feeling your bones click and the ache in your lower back arise once again.

you make your way to the ensuite of the master bedroom and have a shower.

walking out, dressed in one of ashton's shirts and a pair of shorts, you spot his face dimly lit by the lamp on his side table.

he smiles at you. it immediately turns more sympathetic when he takes in your appearance.

"hey, sweetheart! come cuddle". he beckons you over, opening up the blanket as you slide in and rest your head on his chest. he brings his arms around you, one playing with your hair, the other rubbing up and down your arm.

"long day?" he questions, you nod. "you okay?" you nod once again.

ashton has known you long enough to recognise that when you get overwhelmed you shut down. especially speaking. in the beginning of getting to know him, you were never very talkative, not until he proved to you that he was trustworthy. even sometimes after that you would shut down, this was one of those days. you had been completely drained of all your energy, but he understood.

as he held you in his arms, he started humming songs in an attempt to distract you from your mind.

you snuggle deeper into him and he leaves a kiss on your temple. "you want me to talk? or just lay here? we could put a movie on?". you tap his arm once signalling option one. he smiles at you and squeezes you tighter into his chest.

"ok, well, today me and the guys had a couple interviews, we got to talk heaps about the album." he rambles on and on about his day, about what him and the guys got up to, little things that had made him laugh throughout the day, anything imaginable. all while you just lay there in his arms, letting his voice bring a new level of comfort and safety.

as he finishes his rant, he looks down at you, smiling as he sees you looking back up at him, a small closed lipped smile resting on your face.

"did something happen today? or are you just tired?" you tap once and he immediately brings you closer. "did someone do something or anxiety?" you tap twice. he plants a long kiss on your head, turning on his side to properly hug you into his chest.

"it's okay, im here now, nothings gonna happen to you." you snuggle closer. "we can stay here as long as you want." he says. "we can listen to music or watch a movie or just lay here, which one sounds the best, love?" you move your hand from being flat on his back to tracing letters.

"sing?" he questions, and you nod. he smiles and starts softly singing to you, rubbing your back in attempt to lull you to sleep.

just before drifting off to sleep you lift your head from his chest, connecting both yours lips and whisper a small 'i love you', before snuggling back down into him.

"i love you, baby." is the last thing you hear before sleep overcomes you.
