~Surge's POV~
The previous night, I had gotten all the glass shards out of Ashton's foot and hand, giving him stitches where they were needed. He ended up spending the night here in the extra room down the hall. Sasha made sure the guys knew he was here, also asking them how much he drank. They said about three bottles, but it seemed like he drank eight. Once I woke up the next morning, I heard something coming from down the hall. Hesitantly making my way out of my room and towards the extra bedroom, I thought through everything that had happened.
Ashton showed up with Sasha drunk
I got the glass out of his hand and foot
He managed to get to sleep
Korosu hasn't come back
Sasha left last night to see if she was at her apartment
I haven't heard anything from her.
Once I got to his room, I knocked softly on the door. "Ash? Everything okay?" I heard gagging, probably him sick. Knew this would happen. "Not really." He called through the door, his voice hoarse. I slowly opened the door, small creaks emitting from the hinges. Ash was on the floor, vomiting. I helped him up and into the bathroom, taking care of the floor. Once he had stopped getting sick, I was standing beside him, making sure none of his stitches popped. "S-sorry about the floor and all..." "it's alright. You were pretty drunk, so I expected you to be sick in the morning." He nodded, his face pale. I dragged a trash can over for him, just in time. He threw up once again, tying his hair up into a bun. "Anything bothering you that might've had an influence on what you did?" He nodded, finally looking up. "Yeah...personal stuff and missing Korosu..." thought he would be upset. We all are. "I see. Well, the guys know you were here last night, and hopefully Korosu will be back soon." Ash nodded slowly, looking up at me. "Thanks for the help." "No problem. Whenever you need to leave, go ahead." Ash nodded, slightly smiling. I left the room, going back to work on toxins.
~Korosu~
My head was pounding as I ran through the forest. Please don't be following me. Please don't be following me. I had just gotten away from Zalgo after a month of torture. He took me through hell, and it still seemed better than earth. My legs were burning from running, small bits of blood running down my face. I went into the power lines, quickly getting to my apartment. Once I got inside, I locked the doors and windows. Breathing heavily, my body was shaking. I hope I NEVER have to do this again. My pale skin was glitching more than usual, sweat dripping down my legs. I quickly got into the bathroom, looking at my reflection. My hair was messy, cuts and bruises all across my face. Even though I was in pain, one thing came to mind.
Ashton.
I'm extremely worried about him. What if he got hurt again? Did surge try to kill him? My mind was racing, body quivering. I took off my bloody clothes and quickly showered, rinsing off a mixture of sweat, dirt, and blood. I got out a couple minutes later and put on a t-shirt and shorts. Letting my hair stay down, I left my apartment, heading for Ashton's house. My god did I miss him. I missed him so damn much.
~Ashton~
I left surge's house a few minutes later, heading home. Hoping they wouldn't mad at me, I tried remembering what happened. All that comes to mind is a picture frame and beer...not very helpful. I made it to the house, hesitantly knocking on the door. Calum answered in a loose shirt and sweatpants, looking at me. "Hey ash. Feel okay?" I nodded slowly, still a bit scared. We both walked inside, not saying much. Sitting on the couch, I didn't really talk with Calum, I just grabbed a blanket and laid back. He sat across from me, crossing his legs. We sat in silence until I heard a knock on the door. "Want me to get that ash?" I nodded slowly as he stood up. Cal answered the door, then faced me. He was smiling, hands behind his back. "What is it?" Cal stepped out of the doorway, and my heart dropped. Korosu was standing behind him, smiling. I stood straight up, tangled in a blanket. Stumbling over to the doorway, I pulled her towards me. Korosu put her arms around me, her cold skin pressed against my own. "Hello love. I missed you." She spoke softly, her voice cracking slightly. I was holding back tears, pulling her closer. "I missed you too." Korosu looked up at me, eyes bright. I saw a small cut under her jaw, along with small bruises here and there. She smiled, cupping my face with one hand. "I love you ash." "I love you Korosu." Walking over to the couch, I sat down, pulling her with me. We talked for a few minutes, until cal came out with his phone. "Korosu! I have a picture to show you." Quickly realizing what he was trying to show her, I stood up and tried to take his phone. Cal managed to get to the couch, all I did was hit a wall. "Well, there goes my dignity." Sliding down the wall, I heard Korosu giggling softly. She walked over to the wall, sitting in front of me. Her voice glitched as she giggled, just like it usually does. "Don't." I covered my face, looking down. Korosu's cold hand rested against my own, lightly pulling them down. "It's okay ash." I fake sniffled, eyeing the floor. She looked up at me, getting closer. "Fake sniffling I see." "It's my new hobby." I hugged her again, pulling her closer. Korosu had her legs on either side of me, the familiar smell of vodka and blood filling my nose. I looked at her, pulling away slightly. She cupped my face, smiling softly. "Ash?" "Hmm?" Korosu's smile faded, turning into a questioning expression. "May I ask why you smell like beer?" Damnit... "Um...it's uh..." She pulled her hand down, looking up at me. "You weren't drunk last night, were you?" I nodded slowly, scared to tell her. "Why? What's going on?" I hesitantly spoke, voice cracking. "I missed you...personal things...surge and Sasha helped me with my hand...I got stitches..." Korosu could tell I was nervous, getting closer and closer. "You don't need to be afraid to tell me these things. I'll always love you." I nodded, looking at her pink lips. Korosu is just so beautiful, no matter what. Not caring about the rings within her lip, I kissed her roughly. Korosu replied just as hard, my hands pulling her towards me by her waist. She continued kissing me, drawing me closer with each passing second. I ran my hands up her back, her cold skin against me. Her eyes were closed, as were mine. I put my hands on the clasp of her bra, lightly tugging at it. I broke away slowly, staring in her eyes. Korosu smiled, then crashed her lips into me. I took this as an okay and finished unhooking it. Pulling her into my room, I shut the door and locked it.

My arms were keeping Korosu close to me, her chest rising and falling heavily. Mine was as well, however her skin remained cold. "I love you Ashton." "I love you too Korosu." We just laid on the bed for a little while, until somebody knocked on the door. "A-ash?" It was Luke, speaking in a small voice. "What is it?" Korosu looked up at me, staying quiet. "Cal wondered if you guys wanted something to eat." "Alright. Give us a minute." We both quickly got dressed, Korosu stuffing her rings in her pockets. I pecked her lips, walking out of the room. We got downstairs, negotiating where to eat. Korosu looked down at her phone, mumbling something that sounded like damnit. "Ash?" "Yeah?" I looked down at her, smiling. "I'm sorry, but I've got to go. Work needs to be done." I nodded, slightly upset. Only seeing her for a little bit after not seeing Korosu at all wasn't something to make me smile. "Okay..." "I'm sorry Ashton. I'll see you later okay?" She nodded, kissing my cheek softy. "Bye love." "Bye." Korosu went into the wires, a crash coming from the house next to us.
