Ashton had 2 weeks off for just a little break after all the promoting they have been doing lately. You were excited to see him considering 1) you hadn't seen Ashton in a month and 2) you were very isolated and lonely. You lived in NYC and you too had a break, except yours was three weeks. For winter vacation, that was usually when all the college kids go back home to visit their families and spend christmas with them. You on the other hand wanted to stay in NY and be with Ashton.. you had moved away for a reason. You didn't want to go back home to Minnesota and bring Ashton and have him around all of your family. And of course you loved your family, but they had a way of getting on your nerves... a lot. You weren't willing to spend christmas praying to a god you don't believe in. You really didn't care about the macaroni necklace your little cousin made at school, or about how your aunt re-painted her walls beige, or about your sister's new dog, or the new recipe your mom found on pinterest. And you certainly did not want everyone coming up to you and Ashton, with many comments and questions. Of course you would be expecting your dad to make fun of his hair or at least he would find something to make fun of him for. Your mom glaring him across the table and eyeing him with pure disgust, she blames him for taking her daughter away so far from home. When really you have always wanted that, it was certainly not because of Ashton. You were scrolling through tumblr, your hair was messy and you had just woken up 20 min ago. The clock read 8:07 AM. "Ashton should be here by now, where in the world is he?" you muttered to yourself. As if on cue there was not just one knock but multiple knocks. Classic drummer. He continues to knock different beats. You Jokingly say "Who is itt?!" You hear his giggle from behind the door. You can't do this any longer, you fling open the door and see your beautiful boy standing in front of you. "Ash" you whispered tears filling your eyes. You never thought you would get so emotional, but after not seeing him for a month it was a lot to take in. "Hey Babe" he smiles widely, his beautiful eyes staring back at you. His eyes were so mesmerizing, they were a light chocolate color with a shade of everest green, making them the perfect color of Hazel. He walked into your apartment and pulled you in for a warm embrace. He then pressed his forehead against yours and kissed your lips, then smiled against the kiss because he was just so happy to be here with you in this moment. "Sorry I look like shit, but I mean guess it's ok because you do too." you sarcastically said to him. He was used to this. Your humor. Not very many people understood your humor, but he did. He laughed and his eyes twinkled once again. God he was so incredibly beautiful. "Thanks babe because I didn't fly hours on a plane to New York just to see you." you smiled and said "Ashton I'm kidding. You know that." He lightly laughed and said "I know babe I know." You and Ashton just wanted to be each other's company. "I brought some books we can read later tonight. We can just unwind today, it will be easy and laid back." "Yes and I can turn on some netflix and we can make tea." you said back to him. "Perfect." he quietly said not being able to contain his smile. "You were scrolling through netflix while sitting on your bed, and Ashton was preparing the tea."HOW DOES THE OFFICE SOUND?!" you shouted from your bedroom. "YEAH SOUNDS GREAT" You go to the kitchen and start making the tea with Ashton as he's telling you stories about what him and the boys have been up to. You head back to the room, sitting on the bed not even watching the show. You weren't cuddling or spooning. You both were sitting up with your backs against the bed rest just talking and drinking your tea. "Where are all the other boys on their breaks?" you asked him. "Michael and Haylie are spending 3 days in Minnesota so she can be with her family for a bit and then they are gonna head to Australia for the rest of the break because they spent last christmas with Haylie's family so they're gonna be with Michael's this year." you simply nodded smiling at the thought of how cute they were together. "And Calum and Luke?" you asked. "Cal and Kayla are doing the same thing Michael & Haylie are. Michael and Calum's Families are gonna spend christmas eve together." you sadly smiled missing the thought of all the guys being together. "Luke?" you asked. "He and Haylee are flying to Australia for 2 weeks. Then Cali for 4 days. Then Minnesota for the 2 days." "Their timezones are all over the place you said to him. "Hahaha guess so, but they have like 3 different homes to visit so." you both laughed then finished your tea. Now you were laying your head on Ashton's chest. "I miss them Ash." he looked down lovingly at you. "Your family?" he asked confused. "No. The guys. I miss Haylie,Michael,Haylee,Luke,Calum and Kayla. I miss us all being together." His smile faded. "Yeah me too. But it's not so easy anymore. We're all never in the same place so it's hard." he said sadly. "But we are here right now with each other. You & I." he said. He pressed a small kiss to your forehead and you both instantly fell asleep in eachothers arms.
