Dedicated to @veinlou. Sorry for making you choke on your 'Reese nut bar'. :3
Also, new book cover. Yay.

Time: 3:45 pm.
Setting: Luke's Room. Room 343.
Ashton: (hears knocking on the door, runs over, yelling) Coming! (swings door open, blanches) Um. Hi.
Troye: (stares at Ashton who is wearing Luke's 'YOU COMPLETE MEss' shirt, unsure) Hi...Is Luke here?
Ashton: He's at work. (tries to smile) Troye, right?
Troye: (surprise) You know me?
Ashton: Luke's told me about you a few times. (holds hand out, kindly) I'm Ashton.
Troye: (stares at Ashton's hand, starts to tear up)
Ashton: (pulls hand away, panicking) Or not. You don't have to call me 'Ashton'. You can call me 'sweetheart', 'baby', 'Ashy', 'weirdo', whatever you want! (clasps hands to his chest, worried) Please don't cry.
Troye: (sniffles, wipes tears with his sleeve) I-I'm sorry. I'm such a baby. I didn't mean to cry. (wet laugh) Must be strange having your boyfriend's ex showing up at his doorstep crying.
Ashton: Technically, this is a doorway. It's a hallway, so there aren't any steps. (Troye starts tearing up again, holds hands out, shaking his head) But you can call it whatever you want! (lost) Just don't cry.
Troye: (bawling) I'm sorry!
Ashton: (playing with his fingers, unsure) Do you...(holds arms out) Do you want a hug? (smiles) I'm good with hugs. Calum says I give the best cuddles.
Troye: (sniffling, nods, baby-voice) Who's Calum? (moves forward to hug Ashton) Is he your boyfriend?
Ashton: You don't give up, do you? (chuckles) I'm Ashton Irwin. I'm single. Let's go cuddle.
QOTD: Impression of Troye?
