Better Man [Cashton AU]

xiv

it takes a few more weeks of shy kisses and quiet compliments for ashton to ask calum out.

he says yes, but he promises that a first date is not necessary, ashton understands. he plans a quiet night in, filled with random movies and food, as their official first date, so as not to startle calum with a fancy first date.

calum begins to cry at some point and he only burrows further into ashton's arms, hiding his face in the older boy's chest with whispered thank you's.

ashton only smiles at him gently and squeezes him closer, promising to always be there.
