"ok, ok, y/n, you win." ashton chuckled lightly, shaking his head at you before taking a long sip of his water. you couldn't resist doing a little victory dance in your seat, causing him to snort his drink.
"oh god, please never do that again." at these words, he knocked one of his feet into yours before locking your ankles around each other.
heat crept into your cheeks, but you decided not to comment on his foot flirting.
"you're just jealous of my mad dancing skills." ashton raised his eyebrows at you, but didn't have a chance to respond before the waiter returned.

"all ready to order?" she asked, leaning over just a little bit too much toward ashton to your liking. geez, you serve us food not sex.
"yes, we're ready."

you sent her a glare, but she hardly took notice as she trailed her finger along ashton's menu. "i'll take the double chocolate pancakes with bacon." he told her, seemingly oblivious to her obvious attempts to flirt with him.
"and I'll take the cupcake pancakes with scrambled eggs." she sent ashton an over dramatic drawn wink before collecting your menus and leaving, all too slowly.

you sighed, rubbing your temples. while it seemed that he liked you, ashton never made a move and times like this, you were sure had no chance.
"y/n, what's wrong?"
"her flirting was way over the top." you gave him a pointed look, as if he didn't know what was wrong.
"well now who's jealous of who?" he grinned at you, brushing a few stray curls out of his eyes.

it was an action that you had grown used to seeing and now loved. you felt your mouth fall open at his comment, and blush rose to your cheeks once more. it could be possible that he was joking, but it could also be possible that he knew your feelings for him (cause ya' know constant blushing doesn't give it anyway defo) and it was all very stressful for you.

you turned your gaze away and looked around the rest of the restaurant, unsure of what to say. you felt embarrassed, sad, and angry all at once and you couldn't bare to look at him.
"y/n, hey, it's ok." ashton said softly, enveloping your small hands in his much larger ones. he rubbed comforting circles into your skin, maintaining eye contact with you. "i know i've been putting off telling you this, but recently i've had the realization that i really love you. "
you squeezed his hands, a soft quiet almost inaudible chuckle left his lips, and you were unable to keep a smile from highlighting yours. "i really love you too, ashton."

he smiled back at you, a genuine smile full of happiness and love. he suddenly shook his head, "i've been waiting way too long for this." he stretched out a hand to brush the stray hairs away from your face, a hesitant action yet still confident.
and then ashton was leaning across the table to kiss you, his hand sliding to the side of your neck as he slowly pressed his lips to yours. it was gentle and brief, yet it was the perfect first kiss with ashton that you could've asked for.

this is so cute shook
