Deeper (5SOS Ashton Irwin Fanfic)

Chapter 9

Lily’s POV:  

I stand on my tip toes to watch the popcorn go in circles on the tray in the microwave. The popping sound & the smell of fresh butter makes my mouth water. Ashton returns from the garage with our pops & puts them on the kitchen table behind me.  

“Where are we watching the movie?” he asks easily. In the past 2 hours I’d spent lying in his arms just talking to him, I realized that he does socialize. A lot actually. Without looking back at him, I answer.  

“In the basement. We have a theatre & a couch down there so we will be more comfortable.” A few seconds go by & I’m still impatiently waiting for the popcorn to be ready. 30 more seconds. The popping has slowed a bit, but the smell still remains strong.  

I gasp when I feel a pair of arms snake around my torso. He pulls me to him & places his chin on top of my head. We fit together so easily, like the last two puzzle pieces needed to finish a beautiful picture. I blush a bit & turn around to face him. His huge frame towers over me, but his eyes are soft & loving. Toying with the fabric on his black sweatshirt, the microwave goes off. But at this point that doesn’t matter to me. I stay next to Ashton & look up at his face. He looks happier than a kid on christmas. His smile is adoring & grateful while his eyes sparkle. This boy makes me blush so damn easily. When I do so, his smile grows bigger & his eyes light up more than I thought possible. He brings me into a hug as I nuzzle my head into his chest & wrap my arms around his back. He smells like vanilla.  

The microwave goes off again in reminder, so I turn around & get the snack out. I pour it into a bowl & he grabs the two cans of pop. We walk downstairs to my basement. It has a big screen tv, surround sound, & a nice, comfy couch to sit(or cuddle) on. I turn the lights on as he puts the drinks down on the side table. I open up our movie cabinet & he comes & stands next to me, shuffling through our collection with me.  

“What do you wanna watch?” I ask him politely. He simply shrugs & runs his finger down the rows. Finally, he stops on Monsters Inc & pulls it out.  

“This one,” he says with an unmistakable smile. I giggle a bit, but he frowns.  

“You sure? I don’t care what we watch, so pick the one you really wanna watch,” I ask, giggling still. His head goes down & his frame shrinks instantly. I know I’ve said something wrong. As I’m about to make it right, Ashton mumbles like the first day I met him; unconfident & scared  

“But, I do really wanna watch this. It’s my favorite.” he states. I laugh & poke his stomach playfully. I grab the case from his hand & lean up to where our noses almost touch. This makes his frown go away immediately.  

“Okay, I love this one anyways,” I whisper, trying my best to be seductive. I was never good at being flirty to be honest. But, obviously it works, because he laughs in the back of his throat, causing a deep sound to come out of his mouth. I fall to jelly right then & there practically. But, he grabs my hand & brings me to the couch with him as I nuzzle myself into his side. His arm goes over my shoulder easily & I press ‘play’ on the remote to start the Pixar film.  

Ashton’s POV:  

Before I know it, the end of the film is here. When Sulley is tucking Boo in & saying goodnight. I’m quite proud of myself though, we only kissed once during the whole movie, & that’s when I couldn’t fucking take it anymore. I want her every second of every day. Every breath, every heartbeat, every tick of every clock. So, kuttos to me for keeping my cool.  

She’s been laying on me the whole time, her body heat feeling amazing against my side. I look down at her now, her eyes intently on the screen in front of us. I smile lightly, amazed & not believing all thats happened today. I couldn’t be more grateful for Alice’s advice she gave me not even 8 hours ago. Before long, I’m lost in everything about her, completely forgetting the movie in front of me.

Lily’s straight hair is sprawled out beautifully across my shoulder & the couch. Her hand rests peacefully on my chest, fingers painted a pale pink color. Eyelashes veil her brilliant set of eyes. Before me lies this perfect angel, & somehow I’ve managed to grasp her.  

Suddenly, she looks up at me. I’m sure I jump 5 feet in the air when she does. My face burns, but her gentle smiles calms me down a bit.  

“What were you looking at?” I panic at first, but then I think back to what I’ve been doing the whole night: speak what’s on my mind. No filter.  

“You. You’re just - you’re so beautiful & I can’t really grasp my mind around how I got you.”  

Now, if anyones blushing, its her. Her face turns a bright red as she giggles. Dammit, that giggle. She reaches up to me & puts her tiny hand on my cheek. My breath quickens as she runs her thumb over my bottom lip. She eyes my mouth, then looks me in the eye, her expression suddenly serious.  

“I’m not really, I’ve got flaws. Lots of them actually.” she whispers, a sense of hurt in her tone. My heart breaks. How could this girl, who I’ve practically been drooling over for years, not know her beauty? I find myself unable to control my movements. I shake my head & I’m sure my face falls to an upset frown.  

“No, no, no. Lily. Listen to me. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. Please don’t ever think you’re any less. Please,” I say to her, my voice breaking on the last ‘Please”. Her mouth forms a tiny & innocent smile, a blush creeping back to her cheeks. She continues to rub the skin on my cheeks as my heart pounds in my chest.  

This is what I’ve always wanted. Me & her. Her & I.

Together.  

The fact that Lily actually wants me to gives me a burst of courage.  

I lean in & kiss her deeply. She seems taken a back, but quickly recovers, returning the passion. The movie vaguely plays in the background as I run my hands through her soft hair. I’m rewarded with a murmur of pleasure from the back of her throat. My hand almost takes up the whole size of her tiny head. She runs her hands over my chest desperately as my heart explodes. Finally, I can’t control myself anymore.  

I hungrily kiss her, snaking my tongue between her lips. She doesn’t reject, but only return the favor. The feeling of her tongue & mine together is enough to drive me over the top. I find my way onto her, my shoulders hovering over her. She slowly wraps her legs around my torso & I smile into the kiss. She smiles back & kisses my jaw bone. An involuntary moan escapes my lips & she hums in approval. Her lips move down to my neck & hover for while, leaving tiny kisses along the way. Her lips feel like fire & I don’t know whether to shudder or be pleased.  

I take back control, meeting Lily's lips with mine again & kissing her like never before. I bring her impossibly close to me, like I’d lose her if she were too far away. She never backs away, only goes along with me. Before I know it, she’s playing with the hem of my shirt. I don’t really care until she tries to take it off. My eyes shoot open at the thought of her seeing my unguarded skin, & I pull away.
