Heart Strings - Awsten Knight x Reader

Chapter 9

I know I don't normally do this, but because of my lack of posting, here's a three months time skip for you.

Catch up: Band is touring in a week or two after time skip, Awsten and (y/n) have been on a few more dates, Remington has ACTUALLY purchased his own Nutella for once, and Rem and (y/n) have got a dorm cat.

My alarm started blaring in my ears and I hesitantly got up, brushing my tangled (h/c) hair out of my eyes and checking the time on my alarm, only to notice that I didn't set it, and that there was a sticky note on the table.

(Y/n), Awsten told me to tell you that he planned something special. He wouldn't tell me what so I can't tell you...

There was an arrow hunting for me to turn it over, so I did. There was smaller writing on the back, obviously to conserve space.

but he said you need to get ready by 5:30am (hence the 4:30am wake up. You can take a 30 min nap if you're feeling lucky though.) He'll text you where to meet up at 5:25am.

I wiped the sleep away from my eyes and sat up in my bed, staring at the alarm clock with hate in my eyes, slamming my hand down on the button on the top, causing the beeping to stop.

"God fucking.... Damn..." I yawned, hesitantly dragging myself out of bed, taking a moment to look over to Kyle with a frown. He hadn't moved, even after the alarm started, and you knew that as a god damn fact.

After looking around hazily, I made my way to the small kitchen to make myself a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of (coffee/tea/hot chocolate).

After almost an hour of getting ready, I checked my phone, noticing the familiar popup signalling that Awsten had texted me.

"Jelly boi." I murmured to myself, not realising that I actually did. I had woken up a little bit, but it still felt like I was hallucinating a little bit. I almost jumped when I felt something soft graze my legs, but I realised that it was just (y/c/n) ← (your cat's name).

Jelly Boi: Meet me in the parking lot of our dorm by 5:30. Wear pajamas.

I hadn't changed out of my pajamas yet, so I had that down, and slowly hobbled to the parking lot.

Upon arriving, I saw a green haired man leaning on his car, probably playing candy crush (I caught him a few times but he still won't admit to me that he plays it). He was in the same pajama pants that I met him in, but it didn't last long before someone covered my eyes.

"AH!" I yelped, only to hear Awsten laugh and tell me that it was just Geoff.

"Otto would have come too, but he was too tired to get up." He explained, walking over to where I was standing.

Geoff took his hands off my eyes, but Awsten replaces it with a blindfold that felt soft against my face.

"Awsten what are you doing? It's not something kinky, right?" I asked, smiling as he helped me into what I assume was his car.

"No, consent is key." He stated matter-of-fact-ly, somehow not hearing the sarcasm that was showing in my voice.

"Where are we going? Is Geoff coming?"

"Yeah, I'm backseat though." Geoff sighed, sounding sleepy but somehow slightly disappointed.

"Sorry bro. Boyfriend priorities." He explained to his friend, before hopefully returning his eyes to the road.

"You didn't answer where we're going though."

"I don't actually intend to. You'll see when we get there." He told me. I was able to hear his cheeky grin.

A few minutes later, I felt the car stop and pull into a parking spot. About a minute later, I was helped out of the car and we started walking to God knows where.

"Okay. Stand there." I heard Awsten say once we got a certain distance from whatever it was he was going to show me. "Okay Geoff... Now."

Suddenly, the blindfold was taken off and the cold wind hit my face. I looked around and first, I saw a few people, some with cameras. Then I saw a banner, which I couldn't really read from this close to the building, but when I looked down Awsten say there on one knee...

With a ring pop.

"(Y/f/n)... Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, extending the ring pop out to me. I stared at him for a moment, taking in the moment.

Since we had gotten out, he changed into the EXACT outfit I had first seen him in, only this time, there were some pins on it, all of which had cans of soup, orange juice bottles, or peace tea cans on them.

He looked up at me, awaiting my answer as my heart grew overwhelmed.

"Yeah! God damn right I will be!" I fell into his arms, almost forgetting about the ring pop, which he slipped onto my finger as if we just got engaged. I saw a large genuine smile resting on his face, and for a second, it looked like how eyes were almost watering out of joy.

"I fucking love you dumbass." I squeezed him in my arms, ignoring the occasional flash or click of cameras that were taking images to commemorate the moment.

"I love you too, stupid."

Author's Note
I hope you liked this chapter. I've been busy getting ready for school and being in school so I couldn't get anything done. My phone had to be downstairs.

I managed to write this out last night, so I hope you like it! I thought it was about time that (y/n) started dating him.

Are you excited for tour?
