One Hope {A Lachlan Fanfic}

Twenty Nine

"So... What're we going to do?" Lachlan asks as we both return to the house.

"Hmmmmm... Seeing as it's kind of late out, we should just watch some anime." I respond.

"What one?" He asks, scrolling through Cruchyroll.

I pause, thinking. "Maybe Your Lie in April."

"Isn't that the sad one?" He asks.

"It is." I reply, frowning. "What about Attack on Titan?"

"What's that?" He asks, and I gasp.

"Blood, guts, and Ermika!"

"Blood, guts and.... Ermika?" Lachlan repeats, slightly confused.

"Otp." I respond, taking notes the controller away from him and scrolling until I reach Attack on Titan. He puts his arm lazily around me and I rest against his shoulder as the anime begins.

And the all time best opening comes on.

"Wow. What was that." Lachlan says after we watch a few episodes.

"Attack on Titan." I respond, slowly untangling myself from Lachlan and standing up. "Wow. It's already midnight." I yawn.

"Oh my gosh. I need sleep." Lachlan adds.

"Me too." I agree as Lachlan stands up. We walk up the stairs and to our separate rooms right across from each other.

I change into some comfy pajamas and walk across the hall, knocking on the bathroom. Yes, Lachlan and I bet on who would get the bedroom with the bathroom, and I lost. The door opens a minute later with Lachlan in some casual blue shorts and a white top. He returns to what he was doing at the sink and I brush my teeth at the other one. Then, I throw my hair up into a bun and exit.

"Night, Lachy!" I call out to him over my shoulder.

"Night, Caitlin!" He says back.

I suddenly frown, remembering previous events. I told him to stop calling me Cait.

I turn around to face him. "Lachlan." I say, and he looks at me, slightly confused. "It's Cait." He suddenly smiles a big, radiant one that I haven't really seen in a while.

"Alright. Good night, Cait!" He corrects, causing me to smile at him before I walk into my bedroom.

I yawn, stretching, and check the time.

9:42 a.m.

"Lachlan! Get up!" I yell, pounding on his door a second later. He doesn't answer, typically, so I barge into his room and slap him in the face with a pillow. "Lachlan! Get up!" I yell again.

"What?" He asks in his (sexy) morning voice, looking over at me, sleep written on his face. My knees start to feel slightly weak.

Oh god.

"Let's go! You promised me, remember?!" I say, dragging him out of bed despite his protests.

"What are we doing, anyways?" He asks once I have managed to haul him onto the ground.

"We are going to the beach today, Lachy." I smile at him.

I exit the room as Lachlan starts to get ready, and I start to get ready as well. I brush my hair and teeth in the bathroom then walk into my room. I grab a peach bikini and throw it on, along with a white romper; I also grab a bag and put a towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a book or two inside. I also grab my phone, a portable charger and headphones, then walk downstairs and heat up a whole bag of breakfast tacos. I put them in a plastic bag and set them next to my bag. I grab a couple waters and wait for Lachlan, who appears a minute later.

"Do I smell breakfast tacos?" He asks.

"Yes." I confirm, pointing to the bag. He makes a move towards it, but I stop him by standing in front of him.

"Awh." Lachlan pouts as I grab the bags and he grabs the water. "Let's get out there fast then!" He says, running to the car. I smile, following him.

"That's why I need a one dance, got a henesse in my hand, one more time 'fore I go, higher powers taking a hold of me. I need a one dance, got a henesse in my hand, one more time for I go, higher powers taking a hold of me." Lachlan and I terribly sing to Drake. I smile, taking a bite of my third burrito.

"Baby, I like your style...... You know you gotta stick by me, soon as you see the text reply me. I don't wanna spend time fighting." Lachlan off key sings, singing some of his favorite parts.

"I need a one dance, got a henesse in my hand, one more time 'fore I go, higher powers taking a hold of me." We both sing.

"Come on tell me, I need to know, where do you wanna go? Cause if you're down well take it slow, make you lose control. Cause if you're down, cause if your down, cause if your down."

"I need a one dance, got a henesse in my hand, one more time 'fore I go, higher powers taking a hold of me. I need a one dance, got a henesse in my hand, one more time 'fore I go, higher powers taking a hold of me." We both finish, smiling the whole way through and looking at each other.

After a moment of silence, we both burst into laughter. "We suck... So bad." I say in between my laughs.

Lachlan nods and smiles. "But we suck together."

"We do, don't we?" I agree, eating another burrito.

"Hey, let me have one!" He says, leaning towards me.

"No! This one is mine!" I quickly reply, devouring mine. "Have the rest of the bag." I hand it to him.

"You have to feed me. I'm driving." He says, focusing back on the road.

"No. Here." I hand him one and he devours it. We repeat the process until we both have finished the rest of the bag. "Are we almost there yet?"

"Almost. Another twenty minutes." Lachlan says, and I smile.
