notes {a.i. au}

//epilogue//

Ashton took hold of Toby's hand as they made their way through the park.

It had been two months since they had revealed themselves to one another and they couldn't be happier. They felt they each had found the one. 

The someone they could spend a real long time with. 

Toby watched her feet as they moved across the pavement. A small smirk danced on her lips and when she turned to sneak a peek at Ashton he was already looking at her with a relaxed expression. 

"What?" Toby giggled. The blush on her pink cheeks caused her to look down again, but this time in embarrassment. 

She peeked at Ashton again as he began to swing their intertwined fingers back and forth, the same content expression overtaking his beautiful features.

Toby looked at the ground again.

"Hey." Ashton said as he reached out to turn her face to his. "Look at me."

They had stopped walking, standing underneath an old willow tree. With the two of them within close proximity of each other, Toby looked up at Ashton through her eyelashes.

"What?" She whispered.

He placed his forehead on hers, taking her small hands in his massive ones and whispered back, "I can't believe you're mine."

She laughed lightly as he pecked her on the forehead and pulled her into a tight embrace.

She mumbled something incoherent into his chest and he pulled back from her. "Huh?"

She giggled. "I said, I know I love you." She smiled and kissed him on the side of the mouth, teasing him.

He reciprocated quickly and cupped her face, connecting their lips softly.

He pulled away briefly and stared into her eyes. "I love you so much, Notes."

Toby laughed at the silly nickname Ashton had just concocted and smiled into the passionate kiss that he invited her into. 

They pulled away from one another and Ashton pulled Toby down onto his lap. 

They sat under the willow tree for ages, simply enjoying the presence of each other.

Ashton jumped up unexpectedly and grabbed something from his back pocket. He turned to the trunk of the tree and began to carve into the old bark. Toby sat by silently, watching curiously. 

A minute passed and Ashton moved aside to reveal his carving. Toby laughed and hugged him while they both read and reread Ashton's masterpiece.
