Your Hands Around My Waist, and I'm a Falling Star (Nashton)

This is loosely based on the song "Disconnected" by 5SOS, and is also where I got the title. Go listen to it if you haven't already:)

Ashton's hitching laughter rang through the air around them, and Niall could only smile at how it was impossibly a more distinct sound than his own laugh.

This was probably an awful idea. What's a sure fire way to have the other guys find out about their relationship? Cuddling in Niall's bunk on the tour bus made it onto that list.

But Ashton had been so persuasive. "There's a curtain on the bunk! It'll hide us," Ash had said, his pretty brown eyes going wide. And Niall couldn't say that, with his arms now around Ashton's middle, he regretted having given in to Ashton's pouty face. Instead, he pulled Ashton closer.

"I admit I'm a bit of a victim in the world wide system too... But I find my sweet escape when I'm alone with you..."

Niall groaned, but smiled widely. "Oh my God, Ashton."

Ashton stuck out his bottom lip slightly, furrowing his eyebrows. "What? I thought you liked that song..."

Niall wanted to burst with emotions. He leaned in and kissed the pout off of Ashton's face.

"It's like me singing 'Little Things' to you. Very disgustingly cheesy. Very adorable, but groan-worthy."

Ashton smirked. "Yeah. I know. I just wanted a kiss."

Niall let out a loud laugh, biting cheekily at Ashton's neck. Ashton yelped.

"Agh, Niall! If that leaves a mark I'll kill you!" He gasped, rolling over to tackle Niall to the floor. Niall let out a shocked, high-pitched noise as his back hit the floor, and Ashton landed promptly on top of him with a short, "Oomph."

"Jesus, Ash," Niall complained, but was already retaliating. There was only a narrow aisle between the bunks, so that didn't leave much room, but Niall was still able to flip them around to where he was pinning Ashton down by his wrists.

"You ass!" Ashton scolded, trying to wriggle out of Niall's grip. Niall was thankful for his growing biceps, or else he wouldn't have been able to keep Ashton pinned.

"Oh, it did leave a mark," Niall observed, his eyes glancing over the small purple bruise on his boyfriend's neck with satisfaction. Ashton forced a knee into Niall's back.

It was just enough to throw Niall off so that Ash could gain the upperhand. He wriggled free and dived for Niall's middle, wrapping his arms around his waist.

Niall gasped, landing on his back. Ashton lay on top of him, his ear pressed to Niall's chest, breathing slightly faster from the effort. There wasn't any struggle, Niall finding the feeling of Ashton's arms around him quite nice. He reciprocated the gesture by pulling Ashton up into a cuddle.

He should have known better, though, because then Ashton was nipping the skin at Niall's neck. He laughed at the appalled noise that came out of Niall's mouth.

"Now we're even," he stated simply, looking proudly at the purple mark that was forming on Niall's smooth skin. He nuzzled his face into the dip between Niall's neck and shoulder.

"I can't believe this! I trusted you!" Niall stated dramatically, sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck. Ashton repositioned himself in the blonde's lap, fitting nicely on the top of Niall's thighs.

"Shut up," Ash stated simply, and then he was leaning in for a kiss.

Their mouths met, and Ashton rested his arms on Niall's shoulders, letting them extend out behind the blonde. Niall snuck his hands down to fit around the curve of Ashton's hips, lightly moving his left hand up and down the boy's torso.

Niall felt such adoration for the boy in front of him. He pulled back only to soak in Ashton's appearance, putting to memory the way his caramel colored hair fell over his forehead, and how his colorful Pink Floyd tank top settled on his shoulders.

"What?" Ashton asked in his heavy accent. The corners of Niall's mouth turned up and he shook his head.

"Nothing. I just like you a lot."

Ashton laughed. "I like you, too."

So they shared another kiss, and if you think they didn't cuddle for a while after that, you'd be wrong. Ashton liked the feeling of their tangled legs too much and Niall liked the way Ash's arms wound around him too much for them not to cuddle.

And maybe Ashton serenaded Niall a few times with his own band's song, but you couldn't prove that.

"You are my getaway... You are my favorite place... We put the world away... We get so disconnected..."
