I hoped Ashton's family loved me

It had been two weeks since Ashton's mum had passed and he was going back to Italy for the funeral. Ashton had been a lot clingier to me since, which, I completely understood. It's kind of cute having a five foot nine person clinging around your waist everywhere you go. I was trying to pack for the trip but Ash wouldn't let me go long enough. I'm still surprised he asked me to come with him.

~flashback~

It was around two am and Ashton and I were cuddled under my bed. Ashton had been having reoccurring nightmares and waking up at random times in the night, this was on of those times.

I sat up in bed yawning feeling my bed jolt and hearing Ashton's whimpers for the fourth day in a row. Ashton had been staying with me which at first ticked Calum off since he couldn't really come home but he understood.

"Ash.." My voice rasped as I hugged Ashton to my chest, rocking him back and fourth as he cried. "You're ok baby.."

I kissed the top of his head, leaning against the bed board. I heard him sniffle as he wiped his eyes, looking up at me with an adorably sad pout. Everything Ashton did was adorable though, even if he was sad.

"I- I miss h-her s-so mu-uch" he hiccuped through his cries and I just sighed, hugging him tighter.

"I know baby.. it's gonna be ok though, you're gonna go back to Italy, see your family for the funeral... It's gonna be ok." I kissed his cheek firmly.

He sniffled some more and I let him cry like I always did, just holding him until he fell asleep. It was quiet so I went to lay back down but Ashton spoke up again.

"W-will you come w-with me?" He questioned quietly, his arms hooked around my torso as he lay his head on my stomach. "T-to Italy.."

My eyebrows rose as I looked down at him, was he being serious right now?

"W-what?" I blinked.

He sniffled from his place, still looking up at me.

"I want y-you to come with me." He sniffled again, hugging me tightly, "p-please Luke.. I don't want to go w-without you."

I sighed looking down at his puppy dog face, biting my lip and debating whether I could go or not. I'd have to put some things in order, my classes, I'd have to inform Calum as well. I was sure he wouldn't mind though. So I nodded down at him, seeing the small smile grace his face.

"I'll go with you." I mumbled against his hair, hearing him hum in response before we both fell asleep.

"Ash," I whined, struggling to move from my position on the bed being as Ashton had his arms tightly wound around my waist, "c'mon baby I have to pack.."

I groaned, sitting down next to my suitcase and pulling him into my lap. He squeaked and I pecked his lips quickly.

"I need to pack." I stated, letting a small grin make its way to my face as I stared Ashton in his beautiful hazel eyes. He pouted at me, burying his nose into my neck making me sigh exasperatedly.

The flight was late tomorrow and we'd need to wake up at two am to make our flight and I needed to pack!

"I just wanna cuddle, Lukey.." he mumbled into my neck and I groaned quietly because I never really was able to say no to Ashton.
