Waste the night || Lashton

Chapter 7

A/n I'm dedicating this chapter to Safety_Pin_  since they have also been supportive of my story! :-)

Luke's POV
"Luke" Ashton called to me

I looked up from the slice of pizza in my hand that I'd been eating. We had come back to Ashtons and Michaels apartment and had showers to warm us up since we were soaked through from the rain. Ashton had given me a pair of sweats and a vest top to borrow since my clothes were wet, the sweats hanging low on my hips since were slightly to big for me.

"Do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?" He asked me, looking afraid that I would reject him.

"Of course" I replied and he broke into a smile, my face mirroring his.

"Do you have any ideas of where we could go?" I asked him but he shook his head.

"What about ice skating?" I offered.

"Nice idea" he told me, his eyes crinkling as he smiled.

I nodded and finished off the last slice of pizza. I looked over to Ashton who was stifling a yawn.

"You're tired Ash, you should go to bed." I told him, feeling bad that I was keeping him up.

"You can stay here tonight Luke, I mean if you want to, but I completely understand if you would rather just go home or..."

"I want to waste my night with you Ash" I said, stopping him from rambling.

He didn't say anything, but he smiled and got up, grabbing my hand and gently pulling me through to his room.

I got into Ashtons bed while he removed his shirt and threw it onto the floor, leaving him in only his sweats. He crawled into the bed behind me and wrapped his around me. I snuggled closer to him and he delicately left kisses down my neck as I sighed contentedly.

Ashtons breathing got heavier and I knew he had fallen asleep. And for the first time in years I fell asleep before 5 in the morning, finally getting more than half an hours sleep.

Ashton's POV
I awoke the next morning with an empty space in the bed next to me. I bolted upright, panicked that Luke had left me whilst I was sleeping. That was until I heard laughter coming from through the house.

I got out of bed and make my way though to the kitchen, where I found Michael and Luke sitting at the counter eating bowls of cereal while laughing and talking animatedly.

They both turned their heads as they heard me walk towards them.

"Morning" I said to them both, my voice raspy from just waking up.

"Morning" they both replied in sync.

"Tell him" Michael said to Luke, who looked like he could barely contain his excitement.

"Guess what Ash" Luke said, like a hyper little child as I sat down on one of the stools.

"What?" I asked him, curious of what had got him in such a good mood.

"I got 3 hours of sleep last night" he told me, practically bouncing in his seat .

"Omg well done!" I cheered, genuinely happy for him that he had finally managed to sleep for a couple hours.

I got up and hugged Luke tightly. He whispered in my ear so only I could hear him.

"It was all thanks to you"

I hugged him even tighter before pulling away and smiling at him.

I was very tempted to kiss him right now but I restrained myself since Michael was sitting across from us and I probably had morning breath.

We finished our breakfast and got ready for our date. I gave Luke back his clothes from last night which were now washed and dried and I changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a ripped nirvana Tee. I let Luke borrow a beanie since we were going ice skating and it would probably be cold.

We slipped on our shoes, left the apartment and headed for my car.
I drove us to the ice skating rink with Green day blasting from the radio. I would occasionally glance to my side to see Luke singing along quietly and I smiled to myself.

We got to the ice rink and I paid for both our tickets, even though Luke insisted that he'd pay for his own.

We handed over our shoes and spent a good 5 minutes trying to get our ice skates on properly.

We eventually made in onto the ice and I held onto the side of the rink for dear life. I had never really been ice skating before and I wasn't sure how to master it.

However Luke took me by surprise when he went gliding across the ice, not tripping or stumbling. He was graceful as he moved his feet in a rhythm, swaying his body slightly from side to side to get a momentum going. After skating a lap of the rink he made his way back to me, grinning as I gripped onto the side.

"How can you ice skate like that?" I asked Luke in awe, trying to stay upright as my skates slipped about on the ice.

"Oh I used to be on the ice hockey team as a kid, until all the other boys grew bigger and built, like actual hockey players, and I didn't so I quit" he told me chuckling.

"I would never have thought it" I said giggling.

He laughed and took a hold of my hand to help me balance, pulling me round the ice slowly so I wouldn't slip. Of course I did fall over a few times and I even pulled Luke down with me at one point. He didn't care though and spent most of the time laughing. I could tell he was really enjoying himself and so was I, even if I wasn't the best at skating.

We eventually got cold and tired so we left the rink and went to a quaint cafe along the road.

Luke ordered a bagel and a latte and I sipped at a hot chocolate. I hadn't been felling hungry lately so I missed out on the bagels.

I filled Luke in on my family life since he had already told me his. I told him about my little brother Harry and my little sister Lauren and Luke had told me that he had always wanted a sister since he had two brothers. I told him how I'd met Michael in school and how we had graduated and moved in together and gotten jobs in the city.

The whole time I talked Luke had sat and listened intently to what I was saying, taking in all the details.

We left the cafe and I drove Luke back to his apartment. It was a Sunday so Luke had school tomorrow and I had to work which dampened my mood slightly as I wanted to spend it with Luke.

We reached Luke's apartment block and I stopped the car. Luke was about to reach for the car door handle but I placed a hand on his arm to stop him. He turned around and I cupped his face with my hand and gently pulled him towards me, kissing him softly on the lips.

My body filled with warmth and our lips moulders together as Luke ran his fingers though my hair, moaning softly into the kiss. I pulled away before we got too carried away. We were both left breathing heavily and Luke pecked my lips before smiling and getting out the car.
