My Annoying Neighbor (l.h. + a.i.) ✔️

first date

(unedited)

Ashton waited anxiously on his couch for his blond haired neighbor to knock on his door. The blond had officially asked Ashton to go out on a first date a few days ago, and the hazel eyed man has been counting down the seconds until this day. He checked his phone for the time probably the 10th time in a minute and sighed. 7:01 pm. Luke was late. A minute late. 'Oh god, what if he stands me up. What if this was all just one big joke' Ashton thought, totally over thinking the whole situation. His worries were soon washed away once he heard the familiar slam of his neighbor's door and a gentle knock on his seconds after. Ashton quickly jumped up from his couch and ran to the door after doing a quick mirror check and seeing that he looked presentable enough for the blond. After ruffling his curls and giving himself a quick 'you got this, Irwin,' he finally opened the door to be faced with the tall blue eyed blond. Ashton gaped. The blond's hair was styled into a messy quiff and he looked as if he hadn't shaved in three days. His dimpled smile was absolutely stunning and to top it off, he had put on his black lip ring for the night which made Ashton want to dissolve into the air. The blond was clad in all black from his shirt to his boots and had a pair of sunglasses on, giving himself a 'cool guy vibe' even though it was 7 at night.

"Were the sunglasses really necessary?" Ashton teased, stepping out into the hallway and locking his door.

"Hi to you too Ash. Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself."Luke said and the brunet giggled. "It gives a little extra something to my look."

"Yeah, okay." Ashton nodded mockingly and the blond just rolled his eyes. When they made it to Luke's car, the blond opened the door for Ashton who blushed at the gesture but nonetheless slid onto the black leather seats. When Luke slid into the driver's side and started the car, Ashton immediately asked him, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see." Was all Luke answered with a smirk and then they were off. The car ride was fairly short, and when Luke parked in front of the small restaurant, the Ashton's eyes widened.

"Okay, either you're a crazy stalker or just really good at picking places to eat at because this is my favorite restaurant ever." Ashton told the blond who just shrugged nonchalantly.

"I have my ways." Luke said smugly.

"I'll make sure to tell Calum thanks." Ashton laughed before hopping out of the car and running into the restaurant like an excited puppy with Luke following closely behind.

After the two were seated, and finished looking at the menu, they had started on a heated discussion of 'which All Time Low member is the hottest?' while waiting for their waiter.

"It's all Jack."Ashton said, rolling his eyes at the blond who was disagreeing with him. "Alex is cute and all, but like, have you seen Jack? And don't even get me started on Zack."

The two heard a throat being cleared before they looked up to meet a young brunette haired woman who was clearly eyeing Luke and holding a small pad of paper and a pen.

"May I take your order?" She asked giving a flirty smile, mostly towards Luke didn't seem to notice. Ashton frowned. As she was taking their order, she was obviously paying more attention to Luke and shamelessly flirting with the blond.

"Your eyes are like, super pretty." She complimented, leaning into the blond's face who just smiled in return, unfazed by how up close and personal she was getting too him. Ashton's eye twitched.

"Oh, thanks." The blond let out and the waitress finally stood back up and turned around to walk to the kitchen to deliver their orders (cue Ashton thanking the god almighty).
