Deeper (5SOS Ashton Irwin Fanfic)

Chapter 19

Lily’s POV:  

Ainsley & I wait behind the boys as they buy our tickets, giddy & excited for this. She suggested some scary movie, which I’m fine with. It’s nearly impossible to scare me too bad. The boys hand us our tickets as we make way for the snack isle.  

Despite Ashton’s offers & pleads to pay for the food also, I end up spending ten dollars on a medium popcorn & a pop for us to share. Ainsley & Luke get some candy & a drink too, & we start to head towards the theatre. I’m on the left of Ashton & to his right is Luke then Ainsley. I eavesdrop on their conversation a bit, happy that they’re talking & getting along.  

“No way, dude that’s my favorite song. They played that?” Ashton asks excitedly. Luke nods his head & beams a cheeky smile at him.  

“Yeah, it was great. Like, I almost cried I was so damn happy,” Luke responds, making Ashton laugh. They continue on about the song & whatnot, & I can’t help but feel my heart swell. Not only do Ains & I both have a boyfriend at the same time, they actually like each other & have things in common. Looks like us four are going to be hanging out more often.  

We enter the theatre to find only a few people in there. The top middle seats are still open, so we race up there & get them. I end up having Ashton on my left & Ainsley on my right, leaving Luke to be on the right of her. Ashton holds the popcorn in his lap & I dig my hand in it, loving nothing more than a good movie theatre popcorn. The previews come on & the lights dim.  

I dont really pay attention to the previews, Ashton & I just talk & throw popcorn at each other. I’m sure the other people in the theatre aren’t pleased, but who cares? I’m on a double date & I’ll be damned if I don’t have fun. He ends up getting popcorn stuck in his hair, making me double over & almost laugh myself out of my seat. Taking it out, he sticks it in my face & tries to make me eat it. I yelp & push him away, until finally he throws it on the ground. But, interrupting our fun is the actual movie. We settle down & intently watch it, only our hands grasped around each other on the arm rest between us.  

It’s the same old shit as every ‘scary movie’, a haunted house with a legend of paranormal activity. Ashton seems to notice, because when I don’t even bat an eyelash when something pops out, he leans in towards me.  

“What, are you like not scare-able?” he whispers. I chuckle a bit & turn my head to answer him, but he’s already there & catches me off guard. Looking up at his eyes, the light from the movie screen shines on him, making his eyes shimmer & sparkle. His mouth is parted into a lively smile as his hair slightly shades his hazel pupils. I compose myself enough to respond to him.  

“Nah, not really,” I mumble back. Clicking his tongue, he kisses my nose before turning his attention back to the movie.  

It’s halfway through the movie & Ains & Luke have already made out probably 5 times. I just simply roll my eyes & try to pay attention to the film. Relationships aren’t always about kissing & having sex, Ashton & I had already discussed this. Sometimes a simple handhold & a cuddle is all you need. I sneak a glance at him, & find his eyes intently watching the screen. He seems intrigued, mouth formed into a soft smirk. This makes me smile & I squeeze his hand. Looking down, he rubs my knuckles with his calloused hands, causing a blush to creep on my cheeks. Ashton finds my eyes, & when I look into them, time slows down. Its just those eyes. Big, swirling orbs of green & brown, sparkling & fading out. He begins to lean into me, bringing his hand to my cheek. Breath hitching, my eyes flutter shut. The world around me swims as his lips inch closer & closer.  

Ashton’s POV:  

Even though they don’t scare me, I’ve always been a fan of horror films. Just the suspense & the chill you get down your spine when you know somethings gonna jump out at you. Lily’s hand stays grasped in mine the whole movie, occasionally squeezing it.   

It’s nearing the end of the movie & I start to lose interest. Lily squeezes my hand & I glance down at it, rubbing her soft skin lightly. She smiles a little, & I look down at her. Baaad decision.  

It’s so easy to get lost in her beauty. The way her lips move when she talks, the way she looks when she’s just sitting still. So plump & so pink. Her eyes are a soft brown, reminding me of chocolate when it’s melting under the hot summer sun. Hair falls perfectly down her back, straight & shinny. Holy fuck I can’t believe she’s all mine. My body acts before my mind & I find myself leaning in to her & my hand going to her face. She hesitates a bit, but eventually begins to lean in herself.  

The kiss is neutral, just meant to be a clichéd thing. Ya know, double date to a scary movie kind of kiss. But, when I find myself not pulling away is when it gets deeper. Her hand moves from mine to go around my neck as she tugs on the lose strands of my hair. Jesus this woman knows how to drive a man crazy. My hand that was once on her cheek moves down her body to rest on her right hip, my thumb drawing circles into her shirt. She slips her tongue into my mouth, sending rockets off in the pit of my throat. I return the favor as our tongues explore each other, the sweet taste of popcorn butter fresh on her mouth. One of my hands stays on her waist as my other goes to the back of her head, playing with the soft strands of her hair. She softly groans into my mouth, making my heart rate go faster than I thought was possible. It’s not until now do I realize the friction in my jeans. I push the thought away, not wanting to deal with my overly sexual thoughts at this point.  

We continue this for a while until she pulls away, breathing heavily like me. Resting our foreheads together, the credits for the movie come one & the lights return. I open my eyes that I didn’t realize were closed to find a playful & wonderful smile plastered on her face.  

“I swear to God, if we weren’t in a public movie theatre then I’d done a lot more than that,” she mumbles, never breaking eye contact with my. My heart thumps erratically in my ribcage as I force myself to calm down. I do not need a boner when I’m walking out of this theatre. Lily gets up & sticks her hand out as I gladly take it, standing up & following her out of the theatre. We walk out & Ainsley & Lily are chit chatting away, leaving Luke & I some time to talk.  

“Like the movie, yeah?” he asks. I nod my head & scratch the back of my neck.  

“Yeah, yeah I did. Always liked myself a good horror film.” I answer. He nods back & fishes his phone from his pocket.  

“Hey, put your number in. I’ve gotta friend who can get us good concert tickets for cheap if you ever wanna go,” he states, making me smile involuntarily. I punch my number in his contacts & give it back to him. We talk a bit more about our favorite songs & bands until we get to the front doors. The girls hug & say their goodbyes as I offer a light wave to Luke. He waves back, the other hand deep in his jean pocket. We go our separate ways & Lily slips her fingers into mine.  

“Oh my God, that was so fun!” she exclaims, looking up at me.  

“Sure was, were gonna have to do that again sometime,” I state, earning a bright grin from her. I know how much it meant to her for this to work out, so seeing her this happy makes my heart skip a few beats. We reach my car & hop in as I begin the ride back to her house.
