First off all, this is the second part to the previous one shot, as I felt like everyone needed a bit of closer. Second of all, this one shot is an absolute fucking mess. It has about 4 songs referenced to it and just generally is all over the place, so have fun trying to decipher whatever the heck this is.....<3 xx

"All I know at the end of the day, is you want what you want and you say what you say
"And you'll follow your heart, even though it'll break
"Sometimes, all I know at the end of the day is you love who you love, there ain't no other way,"
Luke continued to sing to the audience, who just echoed the words back to him.
Since his run in with Ashton, years passed, and Luke went on more and more tours. Meeting new people everyday.
Yet despite all the time that flew by, the curly haired boy never left Luke's thoughts. And every time Luke revisited the city of San Francisco Luke found himself drawn to the city centre that he had met Ashton at, so after the concert finished that's where he found his feet taking him.
Once again he walked the familiar path. Everything around him seemed to remind him of Ashton, the stars, the leaves dancing around him, the silence that hung in the air. Without a doubt, even if it didn't have a reasonable connotation, Ashton was the one thought that always lingered on his mind.
So while his mind was consumed by "AshtonAshtonAshton" his feet retraced the steps of that one night, passing the spot where they had abruptly met and ending at the cafe they had talked for hours at. Luke sighed and took a seat at the window, waiting for the waitress to come and get his order before he started to daydream again.
Little did Luke know that Ashton had felt the same way.
The morning he left, Ashton awoke to the sun streaming through the window, and an arm wrapped around his waist. A smile appeared on his face as he remember the nights activities, but dissipated at the thought of what he had to do next. Despite how much Ashton was infatuated with Luke, he knew he'd have to leave him, after all, he was just one night stand, right? Plus if it really was meant to be the two would meet again one day.
So Ashton carried on with his daily routine. Day-in-Day-out of the same thing. With the occasional visit to his favourite cafe, of course. Trying to pretend that every day he didn't want to be with Luke, whether they were touring around the world, or just watching TV with pizza.
In fact, once he had bought tickets to Luke's show in San Francisco but had decided not to go 2 hours before, keeping the tickets stuck to his wall, almost like a momento.
However today was one of those days where Ashton felt compelled to go to the cafe. He didn't know why, but went nonetheless since this happened at least once a week.
So on his way to the cafe, he passed the space him and Luke had met. Pausing to observe the area. Since it was autumn, now, the trees were almost bare, the leaves turning into a colour between orange and brown. But other that that, nothing had changed. He sighed as he continued his journey.
Finally he reached his destination, entering the building, the bell signally his arrival. Many turned to see who had entered now, but Ashton noticed one person didn't. Someone that was sitting alone, at the window table. Most likely a adolescent teenager. Some that turned smiled or waved, due to Ashtons frequent visits they had seen each other before. But still, the lonely person at the window intrigued Ashton, as he had never seen him before.
On the other hand Luke was enjoyed his drink when the bell on the door rang, signalling another customer. (Fuck while I wrote this Ashton posted about being in a cafe in San Francisco, illuminati confirmed, amirite?) However Luke couldn't find the strength the turn. But when he heard a familiar sounding giggle, he choked on his drink.
Immediately he sprang for the bathroom, but halted when he walked into someone, spilling their drink on them and Luke.
"Shit," Luke mumbled, too scared to look up at who he bumped into for fear that it might be Ashton. He was not prepared for this.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry-Luke?!" A painfully familliar voice said,"Shit indeed."
"Ashton..." Luke finally gathered the strength to raise his head, as soon as they made eye contact Lukes vision began to cloud with tears.
Lukes whimper was followed by silence, until Ashton collected his thoughts enough to form a sentence.
"Maybe we should get cleaned up," He muttered, as he could feel the eyes of random people watching them, waiting for drama to arise. However before Luke could even think about answering Ashton whisked him away to the mens bathroom. They both parted ways to collect some tissues, but met up at the sink again.
"Luke," Ashton muttered, "I'm sorry for leaving you, I just thought that I was another one of your one night stands and that if we were meant to meet again then we'd just....meet again."
Luke silently nodded as he focused on making his jumper dry again, but thought that he should add something, however when he couldn't form words - as right now he was standing there gaping like a fish - he decided that he would do what he's been waiting do do for years.
So Luke basically leaped forward and pressed his lips to Ashtons, neither moving their mouths. Just treasuring the fact that they were kissing again.
"Lips so good I could forget my name, I swear I could give you everything." Luke mumbled against his lips, glad to have finally thought of something to say.
"Luke, I need your love." Ashton admitted, "I don't wanna say goodbye to another night and watch you walk away again." By now Ashton had started pacing up and down the bathrooms, "But I've finally gotten my life back to a sense of normalcy, and I'm scared that your going to mess that up again, no offence."
"There's a million eyes, but I don't care if they're watching." Luke slowly stepped closer to Ashton, getting him to stop pacing,"I don't wanna waste it, this time."
And so here in the mens bathroom in Ashton's - and now Luke's - favourite cafe, Luke and Ashton made amends.
And here was where their story truly started.
