I give you a fetus one direction song chapter ft ashs POV bc I've been listening to their old shit lately and it brought me back to when I liked them a lot and two songs rlly display how ash and michael feel so
HERE WE GO
Standing two here with Cat is all I could ever dream about.
We haven't spoken for a few minutes, I'm just standing here with her forehead leaning against mine in silence.
"Ash, Cat, are you guys in-"
I break apart from Catherine quickly and reach down to grab my shirt off the floor and cover Cat's still naked body as Michael lets out a scream, "Oh Jesus Christ, what the fuck!"
"Oh my god," Cat says, and I cover her with the rest of my clothes as I quickly walk across the room and pick up her dress from the floor, "Oh my god."
"What the fuck- I don't-"
"Michael, get out!"
"What- fuck- okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
He slams the door behind him, and Cat looks at me with panicked eyes, and I run my hand along her face, "Just get dressed, I'll go talk to him."
"Ashton, what if he tells-"
"Catherine, don't worry," I lean down and connect our lips gently, "I'll go talk to him, okay?"
She nods and hands me my clothes, and I quickly get changed, walking out of the room as I'm buckling my belt.
"Michael!" I shout down to him as he paces, his hands in his hair. He turns around and comes charging at me.
"What the fuck, man?!" He shouts at me before punching me in the arm, "You have a girlfriend!"
"Michael-"
"Why the fuck are you doing this?! Not only are you doing something unspeakable, you're dragging Cat down with you!"
"Michael, will you please-"
"No, Ashton, you're getting yourself in deep shit, man. God, what are you going to tell Grace? It isn't worth it, man."
"It is worth it Michael," I snap, "Nobody compares to her. It was tearing me apart not being able to be with her."
"Ashton it's wrong-"
"So you're telling me that if you had the chance to be with Grace, you wouldn't?"
He glares at me, "If Luke wasn't your friend, and you came back after being in LA with a girl who always nags you everyday over every little thing you do and only wants to make out with you all the time, and see the girl who you love more than anything and would die for, you wouldn't go for it?"
"Ashton-"
"No Michael, would you do it if you were in my position and you could have Grace?"
He stays silent, before sighing deeply, "I can't fucking take it when you're right."
Honestly, I wasn't expecting that. I thought Michael would still be so against what Cat and I are doing, like any normal person would. It's so wrong, but I love her more than anything. I just don't know what else to do. I can't control myself when I'm with her.
"I still love her," he says quietly, and I raise my eyebrows.
"I wish I had the balls to do what you're doing, Ashton, but I can't do that to Luke."
"She wouldn't do that to Luke either," I say, "I'm a horrible person, Grace isn't."
"I know," he sighs, "And I wouldn't want her to, it's just, when he opens his arms and holds her close, it really fucking doesn't feel right. I can't love her so much more, you know?"
I nod, knowing how I felt when I saw Calum and Catherine together. That's what drove me to fuck up this much.
"Believe me, I know," I sigh, "But please, please don't tell anyone, not even Grace."
"You're gunna keep this from Grace?" Michael asked shocked.
"I don't know," I groan, running a hand through my hair, "I just know Cat will want to be the one who tells her."
He contemplates, before sighing, "Alright, I'll keep your dirty little secret."
I bring him into a tight hug, surprising him, before he pats my back, "Thank you Michael, thank you thank you thank you."
"Alright," he laughs lightly, "I hope this all works out, but you're crushing me."
I laugh, before Michael shakes his head, "God, being in the NHL really pays off huh."
I laugh lightly, before shrugging.
"Go back to Cat, she's probably freaking out."
"Okay," I nod, before gripping his shoulder, "Thanks, mate."
I turn back around and go towards the room I was in with Cat, slowly opening the door and sliding through.
When I walk in, Cat has her back towards me, her hair over her shoulder as she struggles to zip up her dress.
I smile to myself as I walk over and gently take the zipper out of her hands and tug it up, causing her to flinch at first but then relax.
Once I do it, I lean down and gently press my lips to her bare shoulder, noticing the goosebumps that rise on her skin.
"What did Michael say?" She asks, not turning around.
"He's not going to say anything," I break apart from her, and she faces me completely, "But he told me something."
"What?" She asks, running her hands through her hair to get rid of the sex hair she has.
I walk over to get her shoes and put them down in front of her, "He still really loves Grace."
Her eyes widen, and her mouth forms a small 'o', "Are you shitting me?"
"No," I sigh, "I feel so bad for him. I know what it's like to see the girl you love with someone else, and that wasn't even completely true. Luke and Grace are dating, they're in an actual relationship."
"Oh god," she rubs her lips together, "What the hell does this mean?"
"Well, it's none of our business," I sigh, "We have to let Michael and Grace work this out. Besides, I don't think they want advice from us, we clearly aren't great at this."
"Please don't remind me," she cringes.
"Hey," I say, taking her chin in my hand, and making her look up at me, "It'll all work out, okay? I promise."
She nods, but still looks hesitant, so I press my lips to hers, because you can't deny the feeling of our lips together. "I love you."
"I love you, Ashton," she sighs, "It fucking sucks, but I love you so much."
nobody compares: cat and ash
