Friends or more? (R5 fanfic/Rocky Lynch and Ross Lynch fanfic)

Ask Her

-weeks later-
Ross' P.O.V.
"Wake up! Wake up!" I was shaken awake by a very excited Jess. She was jumping on my bed. "What time is it?" I said trying to pry open my eyes. "5:00 am!" she shouted. "What the heck are you doing here at 5 am?!" I said. Just then, we heard Ryland from the other side of the room, "I'm trying to sleep here." Jess giggled, "I couldn't sleep. None of my brothers were awake. Your dad left early to work and let me in," she explained simply. "Couldn't you have woken up my brothers or my sister?" "Rydel needs beauty sleep. Last time I woke Rocky up, he chased me to the park. Riker and Ryland would most likely murder me. You're too nice to hurt me....so, the odds pointed towards you," she grinned. I let out a long sigh, "What do you wanna do?" "I!.....honestly don't know," she said. I chuckled. She moved away from the bed to let me get out. I searched for some clothes. "Nice boxers, bro," Jess said from behind me, slightly laughing. "Hey, batman is awesome," I defended. She nodded. I went to the bathroom to change and brush my teeth. When I walked back into the room I shared with Ryland, I saw Jess laying on my bed whilst scrolling through her phone. She was facing the wall so she most likely hadn't noticed I'd walked into the room. I silently walked towards her, and gently kissed her cheek. She turned to face me and gave me a puzzled look. "What was that for?" I shrugged. She rolled her eyes, got off the bed and we walked outside.

Jess' P.O.V.
It was a bit cool outside. There was a slight breeze. It was still somewhat dark outside as Ross and I made our way to the park. I lightly hummed She Had The World by Panic! At The Disco. Other than my humming, there was silence between us, but not the awkward kind, the nice, relaxing kind. "How's life?" Ross broke the silence. "Life's a bitch," I kicked a pebble on the sidewalk. "Yours?" "Not sure," he sighed. "Everything okay?" I nudged him. "I don't know," he shrugged. I've never been the kind to push people to tell me their problems, so I didn't ask anything else. We continued walking in silence, though this time it was a little awkward. We made it to the park. "It smells like dog crap," Ross said. I laughed. He was right. These dog walkers better start carrying around some bags cause damn, that crap stunk like hell. We found a grassy area and sat down. The park was empty and the ground was a bit moist. "I just realized I left my keys at home," I said. Ross laughed, "At least your siblings are home." "I'm pretty sure they'll keep the door locked on me on purpose," I laughed. He chuckled, "You can always live with us." He gave me one of those wide open smiles. "Where would I sleep?" I asked. He smirked at me and my eyes went wide. "No," I smacked him. "Alright. But you're missing out," he dusted himself off and I rolled my eyes.

We continued talking about random stuff. The sun had begun coming out. "It's 6:38, wanna head back?" Ross asked standing up. I nodded, but stayed on the ground. "Aren't you gonna get up?" he asked. I raised my arms up, "Help. I've fallen and I can't get up," I said. He took my hand and helped me up laughing.

We were close to our houses when Ross got the bright idea of racing home. "Ha! Beat ya!" he bragged. "You have longer legs than me, tall ass," I said. "You're just jealous," he ruffled my hair then wrapped his arm around my shoulders and gave me a tight squeeze. "You smell like vanilla," I said. He looked at me weirdly. "I smell people a lot," I smiled widely. "You're weird," he chuckled. We walked into his house and saw that Stormie was up. "There you are. Jess, why do you steal my kids?" she said. "They just love me that much," I laughed. "You're staying for breakfast. That's not a question," she pointed at me with a smile. "What's on the menu?" I smirked. "Pancakes," she responded. "Can I move in instead?" I laughed.

Ross' P.O.V.
My siblings got up a while after Jess and I got back. "Breakfast is ready!" mom said. We all walked into the kitchen, grabbed a plate and took a seat. "Me wants some whipped cream!" Jess said. "Whipped cream? You have syrup," Ryland said. "Ryry, whipped cream is bae, mmkay?" she said making us laugh. We served our pancakes and began to eat. I glanced at Jess, who was sitting right next to me. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked. She had taken a piece off of one of my pancakes. "Totally not stealing food," she said. "You have two big ass pancakes on your plate," I said. "Yeah, but stealing food is nice," she smiled cheekily. I smiled at her and took a piece of her pancakes. "Goals," we turned to Ryland who had his hands forming a heart. Jess flipped him off and I gave him a death glare. "What time?" Ryland asked. "Ya nasty child," Jess laughed.
Jess' P.O.V.
We'd all finished eating like pigs. Haha. Cause we stuffed ourselves. Which I'm surprised on my part. "Be back. Gonna pee," I said walking towards the bathroom. "Tmi!" someone shouted. I did my business and washed my hands. Hygiene first children! When I walked out, Riker was standing outside the door. "Ya needa pee too?" I asked, stepping out the way to let him pass. "No, I actually wanted to talk to you," he said. "What about?" I leaned on the corridor wall. "What do you know about Kaitlyn and Dillan?" Oooh. So that's what he wants to talk about. "Well they dated for about a year and a half. They broke up about a year ago when he decided to go to New York to study," I said. "Oh," he said bluntly. "You're jealous," I said seriously. He did a 'no, the heck you talking about' look. I looked at him, "Dude, you are. Don't deny it." He sighed, "Is it that obvious?" He had a tiny blush on his cheeks. "Want my advice?" I said. He nodded with a smile. "Ask her to be your girlfriend. Kaitlyn had something really special with Dillan, and I don't think Dillan is back without a reason," I said. He sighed, "How?" I thought for a while, then I got an idea. "How would you like a trip to the beach?" I asked. He looked at me questioningly. If I'm gonna help make my best friend happy, I'm gonna help out good.
