It's true

You need a heart to move

And my heart, it belongs to you

Date #2

"Ashton! Come here!"

Ashton bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen. He was still in his pajamas and Luke thought he looked so sweet with his curls all over place and his cheeks still pink. "What's up, Lukey?"

"It's your turn to pick," Luke replied and motioned to the list hanging on their fridge.

"Oh, yay!" Ashton took the list to their kitchen counter and read over his options. Luke figured it would take him a while to pick so he started to make himself coffee and waffles.

About two minutes later Ashton yelled, "I got it!" at the same time as the toaster popped up Luke's waffles, and the combination of the two noises startled Luke so much he almost spilled his coffee. Ashton blushed and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Lukey."

Luke smiled and wrapped his arm around Ashton's shoulder, kissing the top of his head and said, "It's okay, sweet pea. What did you pick out?"

Ashton grinned, "Okay so I think that since it's such a beautiful day outside that we should go on a picnic date! We can go to that cute meadow by the golf course and make food and it'll be fun!"

Luke was overwhelmed by the fondness he felt towards his boy as he nodded and said, "Sounds amazing. When do you wanna go?"

"I think we should go at noon and spend an hour or two or three or four there," Ashton said, smiling sheepishly.

"Alright, who's making the food?"

"I think we should do it together, unless your lazy bum opts out," Ashton said and giggled when Luke pulled an appalled expression and lightly pushed Ashton in the shoulder.

"Don't be fucking rude!" he said, imitating Kim Kardashian and Ashton burst into a fit of laughter.

"Dork," he said and jumped off his seat to press a quick kiss to Luke's lips. Luke hummed and pulled Ashton back in for another, longer kiss.

"C'mon, let's make some sandwiches."

After the food was made and packed in a big lunch bag (they- sadly- did not have an actual picnic basket) and the couple was dressed and ready they left for the meadow.

Luke had also thrown his guitar in the backseat of the car in case they were feeling in the mood for a little music.

Luke couldn't help but admire how adorable his boyfriend is, he had laid the seat back a little and was enjoying the wind coming through the window and the music that was playing. He was wearing a pair of cute denim shorts and a pink shirt with Winnie the Pooh embroidered over the breast that he found at Good Will.

Luke couldn't tell if Ashton was watching him glance between him and the road because of the sunglasses he was wearing.

Luke pulled into the parking lot of the golf course and Ashton popped up and out of the car immediately. He opened the back door of the car and grabbed the lunch bag and the big blanket they brought. Luke grabbed his guitar and Ashton's hand as they started to walk towards the pretty meadow on the other side of the golf course.
