Separate, But Made as One (Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

Awkward Morning (Part 1)

Brianna's POV

The next morning I woke up and I was going to hop out of bed, as usual. But as soon as I moved my muscles, I ached in excruciating pain. I remembered what had happened at the airport, which was why I was so sore.

"Babe, are you ok?" Ashton said lifting his head up from the pillow.

"Yeah, I'm just sore." I said, making it seem less painful.

I didn't want him to feel worse than he already did. Even though it wasn't his fault at all. He thinks he could have done something or gotten there quicker to prevent it from happening. But it really was my fault. I should have listened to him and let him come or taken security. I just hate asking people for help.

"You can go back to sleep. I just have to use the bathroom." I told him.

I got out of bed slowly and reached the bathroom door. When, I took a step into the bathroom, my legs lost balance and I was about to fall. Two arms caught me from behind.

"We're definitely taking you to a doctor." Ashton said.

"I told you to go back to bed." I reminded him.

"I wanted to get ready with you."

"You're cute." He giggled and lifted me up onto my feet.

"Tell me if you need help with anything." He offered and closed the door behind him.

"Thank you." I tried not to say loudly, because the rest of the boys are still sleeping.

I got undressed and got into the shower. I decided to take a bath, and give up on standing for a little. The warm water really helped with my tense muscles. Wow, I am in such bad shape. When was the last time I talked to Alana and Emma? I've had a few quick phone calls, but I haven't gotten into a conversation with them. They've been busy with school and I've been busy in the studios. I have to remember to call them and update them on what's been going on. I have a lot to tell....

When I was done thinking, I got out of the bath. I dried myself off and reached for my clothes on the counter. Except, there were no clothes on the counter. Great.... I didn't want to ask Ashton because he wouldn't hear me. If I yelled, I would wake the boys. I didn't want to bother him, I hate doing that. Ugh, why do I have to be so stubborn. I wrapped my towel around my body and made sure it wouldn't fall down. That would make it even more awkward. I went up to the bedroom door and opened it slowly. I peeked in and found him fast asleep. I tiptoed towards my suitcase and unzipped half of it, until it made a loud zip sound. I looked over at Ashton. He rolled over, but he didn't wake up... thank God. I finished unzipping and pulled out highwaisted shorts and a baggy white v-neck. I tiptoed back to the door. When I made a step on the floor, it creaked. So close....

"What are you doing?" Ashton asked without lifting his head up from the pillow.

"There were no clothes in the bathroom. So, I came in here to get them." I answered.

He looked up and his eyes, almost bulged out of his head. I almost laughed at his reaction. He was like an eager puppy. He got up and out of bed. His eyes raked up and down my body. I looked down pretending not to notice.

"Oh, um," He said awkwardly, stretching his hand behind his head. "I could've gotten them for you."

"That's fine. I didn't want to wake you," I said, "I'm going to go get dressed."

"Okay." He said and I walked out.

That could NOT have been MORE awkward. When I tried to open the bathroom door, it was locked. I knocked a few times.

"I'm in here." Luke called out.

I had to get dressed in Ashton's room. I walked quickly, because I didn't want the others to find me like this. I went in and locked the door behind me. Ashton was on his phone, still in bed.

"I thought you were getting dressed." He said surprised.

"Luke is in the bathroom. And Calum was walking out of his room." I said.

"Can I get dressed in here?" I also asked.

"Of course. It's our room." He said. I love how he said 'our room.'

I placed my clothes on the dresser.

"Don't look." I said, insecurely.

"Please." He said eagerly.

"No." I said and he groaned.

He turned around and covered his yes with his hands.

"I love you." He added and I laughed.

"You, too." I smiled.

First, I put on my shirt and slipped on my shorts. I looked in the mirror and I decided I wanted to wear my burgundy high waisted ones instead. I could tell he was sneaking peeks. I slipped those off and walked over to my suitcase. I felt Ashton's eyes follow me as I walked back and forth across the room, with only a baggy t-shirt on. I slipped on the new pair and I was done. When I looked up, I caught him looking, and he quickly looked back at his twitter.

"Are you creeping on your fans or on me?" I teased and he threw his head back laughing.

"A little bit of both," he said cleverly, "and don't be uncomfortable around me." Which actually made me feel better.

"Okay." I nodded.

" I have to see you naked sometime..." He smirked.

I smacked his shoulder.

"Don't say that." I scolded him.

"I'm only kidding," He laughed.

I sat down in front of the mirror and put my hair up in a temporary bun. He watched me do my makeup. He seemed amazed, by my not so good skills. Once I was done, I took my bun down and put my makeup away.
