PAINTS, WORDS, & LIQUORS [LASHTON AU]

---

I opened my eyes but then to close them back immediately as the sunlight peeking through the window curtains is too bright for me and making my head hurt.

"Fuck," I muttered and moved around the bed only to hit another body beside me.

That made me open my eyes again, quickly this time, and looked at the person next to me. A mop of honey-blond curls and a back of a neck covered in tan skin met my gaze.

Ashton.

Events from last night then quickly came flooding my memory that I immediately looked at myself under the blanket covering me to confirm if it really happened.

Seeing myself naked underneath the blanket made me run a hand across my face then to cover my mouth and looked at with wide eyes the still sleeping Ashton beside me.

What the fuck is wrong with me? Why did I have sex with him?

But not gonna lie though, it was actually really amazing. Only...I shouldn't have done that because he is my ex-fucking-boyfriend. But it wasn't just me who did this whole thing. I was way more drunk compared to Ashton. He could have stopped me but he went with it as well.

I let out a deep breath as I put down my hand and sat up on the bed. I looked down on Ashton and contemplated on whether leaving now while he is still sleeping and act as if nothing happened or be mature enough and talk to Ashton about what happened and own up to our stupidity.

I chose the latter as it is the right thing to do. I took a deep breath and gathered enough courage before I reached out to Ashton and gently shook him awake.

He didn't budge at first so I did it again, a little harder this time as I said, "Ashton, wake up."

He let out a groan but didn't wake up so I shook him awake again.

"Wake up, Ashton!"

"What the fuck is your problem?" he grumbled as he moved and turned around to look at me with a scowl and a half-opened eyes. "It's too fucking early, Luke."

I rolled my eyes at his grumpiness and said, "You are still the same grumpy asshole in the morning."

"And you are still the same annoying morning person," he shot back.

"Whatever...just wake the fuck up," I ordered.

"Why? Can't it wait for later?"

"No."

This time it's Ashton who rolled his eyes and then moved and laid on his back and looked at me, saying, "I'm awake now, what is it?"

"Well..." I told him as I waved a hand between.

He raised up a questioning eyebrow.

"We are both naked and slept on the same bed, Ashton," I said, telling him the obvious.

"Yeah...so?" He responded as if it's the most normal thing ever.

"We had sex and we both know about it."

"Yes, Luke, and what is your problem with that?"

"We had sex, Ashton!" I repeated, now slowly getting irritated with how Ashton is responding with me.

"So? It's not like it's something we haven't done before." He simply said.

"Well, we were together before, it's normal for us to have sex at that time."

"We were both fifteen when we started fucking each other, you know. It was still inappropriate, considering our age. Now, we're both 26, purely adult, and you'd react like that with us having sex last night?"
