Notes:

Hey! Hope you enjoy this, please leave a comment if you did. Thanks lovelies!

As the bell above the door to the bookshop rang, closing behind the last customer, Ashton could feel the smile appear on his face. He loved working at the old bookshop that was a little out of the way of the busiest streets in the city but popular enough that business was doing well. And tonight, that bell announced the end of a long shift and Ashton could not wait to grab his car and pick up his boyfriend from work and head back to their apartment.

He turned the notice that hung on the door, showing now a 'closed' sign, and went back to the till to count up, hearing shuffling in the stockroom behind the counter.

"Calum, your shift's over!" Ashton called out to his colleague. The young dark haired boy had only started a few months ago but they had become good friend already and Ashton liked having shifts with him.

The shop belonged to Ashton's grandparents but recently Ashton had started taking on more responsibility and looking after the business aspects of the place too, but his heart really did lie in the books that surrounded him. And he adored the shop, with its staircase at the back to go upstairs to more books and with a few sofas up there so you could sit and daydream. It was like a tiny slice of haven in the bustling city and Ashton loved being able to provide that for people. Who knew, maybe one day in the future the place would belong to him, but for now, he just loved working there while he studied at the university nearby.

"I finished sorting through the last orders, but there's a couple that still need to be put away, mainly upstairs in the science section." Calum told him as the boy came out of the small stockroom and walked around the counter, now facing his elder.

"No worries, I'll put them back before I leave." Ashton said as his hands still moved over the till and his glasses slipped down his nose a little. He really needed to get them tightened.

"Thanks man." Calum grinned, happy to be free for the weekend of work and schooling. "Is it ok if I head off? I've got a date tonight."

"Sure thing. Make sure you tell me all about it on Monday, ok?"

Calum nodded excitedly before practically bounding out of the shop and waving a bye to Ash before disappearing down the street. Ashton laughed to himself and headed into the stockroom to find the books that needed putting back when he heard the ding of the door and confusedly stood up to go and tell whoever it was that the shop was shut.

And there he found Luke. Standing gloriously in his work uniform of a smart black button down shirt and skin tight black trousers, his hair unusually flattened because they'd been too busy that morning and had run out of time for Luke to quiff it up.

"What're you doing here?" Ashton half laughed, still holding the books under one strong arm.

"Hello to you, too." Luke grinned before leaning over the counter and kissing Ash gently and quickly on the lips.

"Hi" Ashton kissed his love again. "But seriously, what are you doing? I thought I was picking you up from work?"

"Boss let me go early, so I thought I'd come get you and treat you to dinner." Luke in all his angelic beauty smiled and Ashton pulled him closer and kissed his lips for longer now. He kept his eyes closed even when Luke pulled back, his fingers softly touching Ashton's cheek.

"I just need to put these back and I'll be ready to go." Ash said, still under the haze that kissing his boyfriend caused him to fall under. He walked around the counter and headed to the back of the shop and up the stairs, knowing that Luke was following him on his heels.
