Pairing: Ashton/Reader

Word Count:1,297

basically Ashton tells his long time bff that he loves her

“Mate, if you don’t calm down I’m leaving and you won’t be getting any help from me at all,” Calum spoke sternly as Ashton finally sat down putting his head in his hands. “How am I supposed to do this Cal? I can’t lose her. I can’t fuck this up.” Ashton mumbled as he continued to stress himself out. Valentine’s Day was getting closer and closer and Ashton figured now would be a good time than ever to confess his love for you, he just didn’t know how. The two of you had been best friends for as long as you can remember and he has finally realized that you’re more than a best friend to him, but he knew that if you didn’t reciprocate these feelings this friendship would be ruined. The boys have told him multiple times that he just needs to tell you how he feels, that holding it in would only make things worse, but he wasn’t sure how living without you as a best friend would be better than just living with these feelings. He knew though, that he couldn’t live with these feelings forever, that he needed to tell you before he busts open with feelings. Before he could think any further he felt Cal’s hand on his shoulder in a calming manner. “Why don’t you just take her out to her favorite restaurant? Or a place that the two of you always go? It doesn’t have to be anything out of the ordinary, mate.” As Calum said this Ashton realized that he was right, he didn’t need to take you on any fancy carriage ride or rent the top of a building to confess his love to you, he just needed to do it. A small smile made its way to his face as he nodded knowingly at Calum.

 When the day finally came, Ashton was an absolute wreck. He’d called the diner the two of you normally go to late at night when neither of you can sleep or just want to spend time together and asked them if they code reserve the usual table the two of you sit it and when the older woman figured out why, she told Ashton “it was about dang time he told her how he felt because the whole staff was starting to feel bad for him,” to which he just awkwardly laughed. He made a playlist full of all the songs that made him think of you to play on the way to the diner once he picked you up and had a small teddy bear in the back to give you when he dropped you back off at your place. His palms grew sweaty as he looked at the time, realizing he should probably head out to pick you up. On the way there he gave himself a pep talk, reminding himself that he doesn’t need to act weird or back out of telling you how he feels. He pulled up to your apartment just as you were walking out of the front door and you gave him a slight wave as you said goodbye to the lady at the front desk. You had on a simple dress that reached to right above your knees and he felt his heart skip a beat as you slid into the seat next to him.

 The drive to the diner was full of laughter as the two of you shared awful jokes, seeing which one could outdo the other. He let you win just because he wanted to see the satisfied smirk that you gave him once your joke battle was done. When the two of you entered the diner, he could see the worry on your face as you looked around for a table, but Ashton placed his hand in the small of your back and led you to your regular booth as you looked at him with confusion. There was a small bouquet of roses on the table with a card that said “reserved” on it and as the two of you got closer to the booth your heart swelled with adoration. Ashton was smirking at you as he pointed down to your seat and said “M’Lady” before he took his seat. The rest of the evening was filled with the two of you talking how you normally would and the longer you were talking, the less nervous Ashton was to confess his love. The thought of telling you how he felt had completely left his mind until you got off on a story from when you were younger and a boy had asked you to be his Valentine by shooting a spitball at you in the lunchroom. You were in the middle of your sentence when you heard it, just barely.

“I think I’m in love with you”

It was a whisper, but the words stuck out to you more than any other noise in the room. “What?” was the only thing you could manage to leave your lips and Ashton was suddenly aware of what he’d just said. A blush came across his cheeks as he began fumbling with his words. By the look on your face Ashton almost wished he hadn’t said anything to you, that he hadn’t planned this whole night. The two of you were staring at each other, stunned, when the waitress walked up to the table to ask for refills, but when she noticed the atmosphere between the two of you she turned immediately, acting as if she hadn’t noticed anything. “What did you say?” you asked him, your voice a low whisper as you tried to fully wrap your head around the words he just said. Maybe he didn’t mean it, you thought, maybe he didn’t mean it in that way. But as he said it again, the words more confident than before, you knew he meant it. He meant it with everything in him. He loved you. Ashton, your best friend, loved you. You slowly got up from your side of the booth and moved cautiously over to his. He moved over to make room for you, confused about your actions but careful on how he reacted. Facing him, you leaned your forehead up against his as he relaxed into you. “Say it again,” you whispered, still unable to believe those words came out of his mouth. “I love you. It’s you I want to be with. It’s always been you.” As the last word came out of his mouth, you smashed your lips onto his. He was hesitant at first, unsure of himself when kissing his best friend, but then all of the times he wished he could’ve kissed you came into his head and he wrapped his arms around you, kissing you with as much passion as you were him. You pulled away a few seconds later, realizing here in this diner probably wasn’t the best place to have a make out session with Ashton, but he had different plans as he pulled your lips back against his.
