It Started With A Follow.(Ashton Irwin)

@The After

Rose woke me by kicking up a storm, when I checked the time it was ten in the morning. Ashton was still asleep, mouth wide open, hair a mess, his poor eye still swollen. I poked his nose. Nothing. I poked it again and he crinkled his face.

“Ash, wake up.” I whispered, running the back of my hand down his stubbly face.

“No.” His raspy voice croaked.

I sighed in defeat and made my way downstairs. The house was quiet, and everyone was still asleep. I started a pot of coffee, set out six plates with two Tylenol on each, and started making breakfast. I made eggs, toast, sausage and pancakes then set the table for everyone. One by one everyone but Ashton came downstairs, tired and hungover.

“I’m still not sure what happened last night.” Michael said, rubbing his neck, bright purple hickies down to his collar bone.

“Same, I just remember something about a fight.” Calum said, sunglasses on and Toni resting her head on his shoulder slowly eating.

I laughed, coffee cup in my hand. “Yeah. Some dude was all over me and Ashton started a fight with him.”

“That’s right, I remember yelling at that dude, they kicked him out right?" Michael asked, taking his last bite of egg.

"Yeah, and Ashton isn't allowed back there for a few weeks. I'm gonna take him up some food. If you guys need anything today just let me know." They all let out a muffled okay as I put my plate in the sink and picked up Ashton's.

"Babe, I brought you food." I whispered, putting his plate in the bedside table. "You need to eat."

"My head hurts." He whispered, sounding like a sick child.

"I know, that's why you need to eat. There's medicine here also." I said, handing him the Tylenol.

"I feel like I got hit by a truck." He stuck his bottom lip out. "I don't want to get out of bed."

"You don't have to, everyone else is hung over too." I grabbed my laptop and got in bed.

"So I get to spend all day with my two favorite ladies." He rolled over and put a hand softly on my belly, which Rose kicked lightly causing him to laugh.

"Eat." I said, pointing at his plate.

"Yes ma'am." He picked my cheek and reacher for his plate, wincing at the pain in his stomach. "Wow, I didn't realize fighting like that would hurt so bad."

I laughed, logging on to my computer and checking my emails. Ashton ate and played around on his phone, we sat in a comfortable silence doing our own thing.

"Cuddle me." Ashton sighed, locking his phone and wiggling his head under my arm.

"You're like a child." I smiled at him.

"Only at heart my dear. What are we going to do today?" He asked taking in a big breath.

I shrugged, "I like this right here." I turned my laptop of and grabbed the Xbox controller and got on Netflix. We stayed there all day, aside from a few trips to the bathroom between movies and a trip down to get some popcorn.

Two movies and half a season later there was a knock on the door, Toni poked her head in the room, "Guys, we're going to watch some movies up stairs, want to join?"

I looked down at Ashton, his head in my lap already looking up at me, waiting for me to answer. "Sure, what movie?"

"I don't know. It's a new Zac Efron movie." She smiled, walking away. Ashton turned off the Xbox and pulled himself out of bed.
