Young Folks (Ross Lynch AU)

twenty.

I had the knife grasped in my hand tightly, my eye on the prize. There was a caribou, feasting on some berries on a bush. It was unaware of my presence, and I knew this was the perfect time to strike.

I brought my arm back, positioning to throw the blade at my prey. I close my eyes, took a deep breath, steadied myself, opened my eyes, took aim, and-

"Aspen!" Ross shouted from who knows where. The caribou looked up, spotted me, and dashed in the other direction  I quickly lost sight of what was supposed to feed us for days on end when Ross came trampling over to me.

"Aspen, look, I found raspberries!" He exclaimed excitedly. I bit back a nasty comment about how we wouldn't need those fucking raspberries if I had got that caribou and plastered on a fake smile.

"Awesome!" I stated.

"So what did you find over here?" He asked.

"Nothing much, just a fucking caribou," I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"Caribou?!" Ross yelled, a smile forming on his face. "Did you get it?"

"No," I spat, biting my tongue to keep from snapping at him. His face fell at my answer

"That's a shame," he whispered, disappointment obvious in his eyes. Then realization dawned on him. "Wait, did I scare it away?"

My silence said everything.

"Shit, Aspen, I'm sorry. Fuck, I'll be quiet now," Ross sighed, running a hand through his hair. I started hiking back to the bus. It wasn't far, but it would feel that way with Ross breaking down my neck.

"That'd be spectacular, because being quiet now will help bring that caribou back."

It came out of my mouth before I could even process it in my brain.

"What the fuck, Aspen? I said I was sorry," Ross shrugged.

"Yeah, because apologizing makes it so much better," I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest, continuing to walk.

"What else am I supposed to do? Hunt down the damn thing and kill it? I wouldn't be able to do that even if I tried for days on end," he spat back.

"Well go try," I said.

"What?"

"Go try. Maybe God's glory will rain down on you or something and you'll find it. You always seem to be lucky like that."

"No fucking way."

"Why not?!"

"Because I can't leave you alone!" Ross retorted. The bus finally came into view, and I let out sigh of relief.

"Why not? You think I can't handle this on my own? I would be fine without you," I stated.

"Then why don't you just leave? Just leave me here to fend for myself? Why stick around if you could do it on your own?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

Fucking shit.

"B-because," I stuttered, my confidence diving off the nearest cliff, my cheeks tinted pink.

"Because why?" Ross asked. He was pissing me off to my near limit.

"Because, Ross, okay? Isn't that a good enough answer?" I yelled, frustrated beyond belief.

"Sorry, but no, it's not."

Fuck this.

I stepped forward, grabbed both his shoulders, went on my tip toes, and planted a firm kiss on his lips.

"That's why," I stated, pulling away after a millisecond. I walked away from him, leaving him dumbstruck.

I was nearly to the entrance of the bus, and I was fuming.

Frustrated with Ross for scaring the caribou.

Angry with the caribou for being such s fucking scary cat.

But most of all, furious with myself for letting Ross know I like him.

As I raised my foot to step onto the bus, a hand grabbed mine and pulled me back. I came face to face with the blonde I never wanted to see again, and he quickly ducked down and captured my lips in a kiss.

My eyes widened for a second before I closed them tightly, melting. I was quick to respond, moving my lips hungrily against his. I looped my arms around his neck as his found my hips.

Our lips moved roughly, urgently, as if this was the last kiss we would ever get, but it was only the second. Ross nibbled on my top lip, and I did my best to suppress the moan that sat at the back of my throat.

His tongue poked and prodded at my lips, begging for access. I smirked into the kiss and opened my mouth just the slightest bit, teasing him. I then played with the hair at the nape of his neck, and a low moan escaped his lips.

I loved teasing him, but it was getting to be too much for me as well. I parted my lips a bit more, and he quickly took initiative, practically shoving his tongue in my mouth. My hands moved higher in his hair, pulling at it roughly now.

Suddenly, without breaking the kiss, Ross started walking backwards, and my back quickly came in contact with the bus. He pressed his body closely to mine, little space left between us.

His lips detached from mine and latched themselves on to my neck, leaving soft kisses all over. He lifted my shirt up the slightest bit, and his calloused thumbs came in contact with my bare skin, rubbing it slightly. I threw my head back, breathing heavily, biting my lip to keep myself from moaning. It was all too much.

"Don't fight it, Aspen," Ross muttered as he kissed my neck. He pulled away and whispered in my ear, "Let it out." His lips moved up a bit and he nibbled my ear, and I couldn't stop myself that time.

I let out a soft moan, screwing my eyes shut as Ross chuckled deeply in my ear.

"Good girl," he whispered. He planted a soft kiss on my cheek, then pressed his forehead against mine. His hazel eyes penetrated mine, and his tongue darted out to moisten his lips. We were both breathing heavily, and he smiled the slightest bit before asking, "Will you be mine?"

I didn't hesitate to answer.

"Yes."
