Outcast (a lashton fanfiction)

date night

Luke's p.o.v.

It took a while but we worked it out, we wouldn't be couple-y at school. Sooner or later we would come out but not right away.

Ashton did ask me on our first date, and lots of blushing awkwardness later, I said okay.

I'm standing in my room staring into the closet and I have no clue what I should wear. Where is even taking me? Bella had picked out two outfits, one formal and one casual.

"Where are we going 'Mr. Let me plan everything.'" I text him quickly.

"Dress casual is all I'll say ;) - x turtle"

"Turtle? - luke xoxoxoxoxox "

"Turtle." Hands down best joke. Totally hasn't been done before. Not at all.

I pull on the nirvana tank top, with a flannel and black jeans. What am I forgeting? hair! I sprint to the downstairs bathroom because mine is under renovation..

"Out out out mom out." I shove her out of the bathroom and close the door.

"Tonight must be date night." She mumbles and walks off.

Normally my hair takes 5-10 minutes, so why is it taking 30 right now?

"Luke." My mom yells "Boyfriends here!" I run out of the bathroom and upstairs passing Ashton on the way.

"I wasn't here and you didn't see me." I yell and go into my room. I put on my blue Converse and grab my phone before running downstairs.

"Hi there." Ashton says laughing.

"Hi." I blush.

"Shall we?" He motions to the door.

"Let's." I say and walk out with him.

We pull up to an old arcade I remember from when we were kids. I look over and smile at him.

"Wait there." He hops out and opens my door for me. I get out and close the door, taking his hand in mine. He leads me inside to a booth and we sit across from each other.

"Did I tell you how cute you looked tonight?" Ashtom asks. I duck my head and blush.

"Thanks, you too." We hold hands across the table.

"What can I get you guys?" A waiter comes over.

"Cheese pizza? And coke?" He looks at me and I nod. I guess eating completely slipped my mind. The waiter writes it down and walks off with a nod.

"You okay?" Ash asks. I put on a fake smile and nod.

"Yeah, fine." He smiles back.

"So how's the team doing?" I aks.

"Total crap. We actually suck without you there, just saying." He groans but laughs after.

"Told you, you need my cheerleader skills." I pretend to flip my hair and laugh.

"Of course we do babe." He smiled "Maybe you should come to our next game?"

"Yeah, I don't know, maybe."

Our waiter sets our drinks down and is back right after with the pizza.

We each pick up a piece and start eating. I take a bite and chew slowly, wanting to spit it out.

"You okay?" Ash asks. I smile and nod reassuringly.

I take a few more bites before I can't eat anymore. I set down the slice and wait for Ashton to finish. He gives me a confused look.

"I'm not that hungry." I shrug. He quickly finishes and takes my hand, pulling me to the games.

"I'm gonna kick you're ass at air hockey." I drop his hand and take one of the things.

"You wish." He smiled big, and took the other one and hit the puck.

We ran around from game to game, going back to some after a while. It was going great, I love every minute I spend with him.

We were on our way to the reward counter, so we could cash in our tickets. Ashton had picked out a blue penguin, when the door opens and a group of loud boys stumble in.

"Ashton?" Someone asks, we turn around. The soccer team had all come in at this point. The smiles leave both our faces. "What are you doing here, with him?"

My hands start to shake and I look to Ashton.

"We were hanging out." He says trying to sound confident but I can hear the waver in his voice.

"With this Fag?" Jordan spits. "What the hell Ashton."

"I don't have to explain myself to you. I can do what I want in my free time." Ashton snaps back.

"I bet you're a little fag too. That's it, this is a date. You're on a date with fag boy." Jordan laughs.

"You know what Jordan. You need to shut up and stay in your place, which isn't up my ass. I don't judge any of you for dating sluts or 5 girls in a week, so why are you judging me for dating someone who used to be your friend? I suggest you leave us both alone." Ashton yelled. They all stayed quiet. Ashton pulled my hand and shoved passed them.

We were almost to the car when we heard a set of footsteps behind us.

"Guys!" We stopped. It was Mason and Jason, ironically twins. "We accept you guys okay? We'll make sure the other guys don't out you yet. I'll try to keep them from hitting Luke anymore too. I can't make any promises." Mason says and Jason nods.

"Thanks guys, means a lot." I say and Ashton looks at me a bit surprised I said something. The twins turn around and run back inside while Ash and me get back in the car and head home. The car ride was quiet, Ashton was the first to break it.

"I had a good time, until the end." He says.

"Me too. We should do it again sometime." I say and lean against the window.

The rest of the ride is silent and there is an unspoken agreement on staying at his tonight.

I hope the twins can keep their word. Otherwise, monday is gonna be a mess.
