One Hope {A Lachlan Fanfic}

Seven

"Lachlan! Where's my toothbrush?!" I yell from the bathroom.

"I don't know!" He yells back, and I groan.

"Nuuuuuuhhhhh... Now I can't brush my teeeeeth..." I complain, scouring the bathroom once again.

I've been here for about a week, and in that time frame, Lachlan and I have gotten pretty close. Lachlan's family is actually on vacation right now; they are currently in Spain, and will be for another two weeks. Meaning, we have the house to ourselves.

I frustratedly sigh, giving up all hope. "Guess I'll have to run to the store then." I huff, walking down the stairs to see Lachlan sprawled on the couch.

"Get me some food too!" Lachlan says.

"What kind of food?" I ask, slipping my sneakers on.

"Ice cream." He responds, and I smile.

"Good choice. The usual?"

"Of course!" He replies in a 'duh' tone.

"Be back in twenty!" I chirp, grabbing Lachlan's keys and walking out the door.

I pick up Lachlan's favorite ice cream; Peanut Butter, along with lots of toothbrushes, and earning some confused glances which I toss aside. I pay for the items, hop in Lachlan's car, and drive back home.

I open the door and walk into the kitchen, and immediately Lachlan is next to me. "Did you get the foooood?" He asks, and I nod, slightly smiling, and hand him the peanut butter ice cream. "Yaaaayyyyy!!!"

"Happy now?" I ask.

"Of course!! Now we can watch movies in peace!" He says, making me smile.

"After I make homemade pizza."

"I wanna help!" He says.

"Alright. Get out the tomato sauce and bread." I order, and he obeys. I grab the mozzarella and a tray, and we both make the pizza together.

We split the pizza in half and devour it. Yep, that's right. We both have monstrous appetites.

We plop on the couch afterwards, a little bit away from each other, as Lachlan scours Netflix and I check my Instagram.

"Anything good?" I ask, looking up from my phone.

"Nahhh... Nothing too interesting." He replies, and I huff.

"What about some anime?" I ask.

"As long as it's Pokémon!" He chirps excitedly, and I immediately grab the remote from him. My face turns slightly red as I realize that I touched his hand, but I ignore it.

"No! Narutoo!!!" I respond, and he grabs the remote from me. Soon enough, we are both fighting for the remote.

"Pokémon!"

"Naruto!"

"Pokémon!"

"Naruto!"

"Pokémon!"

"Your ice cream is melting!"

"What?" Lachlan asks, looking to the bowl he set on the table. I smile in victory as I grab the remote from him and put on Naruto.

"Deal with it." I smugly smirk as Lachlan pouts.

"Awwww...."

About halfway through episode one, Lachlan gives in. "Naruto is pretty good." He sighs, making me smile big.

"Of course it is." I respond as I scoot closer to him and use my spoon to eat some of the ice cream.

"No! Mine!" Lachlan says, defensively holding it closer to him.

"Shareeee!!! Pleaseeee!!!" I beg, but he doesn't budge. So, I use my puppy eyes. "Pretty please?" I ask again, and he stares into my eyes.

He sighs in defeat, holding out the ice cream. "Alright."

"Yay!" I respond, taking a scoop.
