“Just follow my lead, okay?” You assured Ashton, having him shake his head in uncertainty.
You were hanging out with the boys and a few of their friends before their tour begins. It always bothered you, seeing your best friends go away to far distances away from you. But you couldn’t be happier to see them live out their dreams and spread music to the world. You were always in a love-hate relationship with the boys and their success.
The boys ordered pizza and bought loads of sweets beforehand, having everything ready when the guests (including yourself) came. Music was blaring out of the large stereo system the boys own in their large pad. But, a slow song had suddenly began to play and you wanted to dance. Ashton was the only one who reluctantly let you grab his hand and lead you to a clear space of the living room.
“I’m gonna feel like such an ass if I step on your feet with my bigfoot-sized ones,” Ashton muttered, having you giggle as you grabbed his large hands.
“Don’t freak out, okay?” You asked, smiling up at a nervous Ashton Irwin. His hazel eyes quickly focused on yours, seeing some sort of fear in them.
“What do you mean don’t–” you suddenly placed his calloused hands on the sides of your waist. Almost instantaneously, you saw Ashton’s face turn a hue of red. Laughter escaped your lips as you kept hold of Ashton’s hands on your waist. You knew he was gonna try to retreat them from your waist.
“Relax, Jesus,” you say with a smile as Ashton pretends to hyperventilate. “It’s just me, after all. It should be easier to dance with me than any other girl you dance with in the future.”
“But that’s the thing,” Ashton breathed out. “It’s you, therefore my cool can’t be kept.” You blushed, unsure how to interpret that as you placed your hands on his shoulders. You watch as he takes a deep breath in and slowly lets it out.
“Now just follow my feet, okay?” You say gently, having Ashton nod slowly. You couldn’t help but find it cute, the way his curls bounce from his mere head movement. But you quickly re-focused yourself on your feet as you guided the both of you right, and then left. You showed him the mere tap movement, as he slowly, but surely, began to get it.
“L-like this?” He pondered nervously, having you giggle.
“You’re doing perfect,” you say, giving him a reassuring smile. But his eyes stayed on the ground, in fear of messing up. “Now just try looking at me. It’s awkward if you keep staring at our feet.”
“S-sorry,” Ashton obliges, looking up before locking eyes with you. You felt your heart stop for a moment as his hazel eyes focused on yours. The gaze was strong between you two, seeming impenetrable as the music slowly faded away from your hearing. Ashton’s lips parted a bit, as he felt stuck in the moment as well.
It was quickly broken when he accidentally stepped on your left foot.
“I spoke too soon, didn’t I?” You giggled nervously, having Ashton flush once more.
“I’m so, so sorry, Y/N, I didn’t mean to–” you quickly placed your index finger on his lips. Giving him a gentle smile, you cup his cheek and give it a soft pat.
“It’s okay, let’s just try again.” you said, having Ashton’s heart stop for a brief moment as well before going back to the stance you showed him. You then bit your bottom lip from thought, thinking about an idea that might work. It is risky, but it would help Ashton stay in sync without drowning in his nerves too much. “How about we try something a bit more… intimate?”
“U-um, sure,” Ashton choked a bit, having you blush as well before you wrapped your arms around his neck. You walk closer to him, feeling your body press against his slightly. He soon followed your gestures, wrapping his arms around your waist as he held you firmly. “I-is this okay?”
“Mhm, it’s just fine,” you mumbled, having the two of you dance again, but with much more intimacy. The awkwardness slowly seeped away as you and Ashton were perfectly in sync. Your feet danced together perfectly, never missing a bit as you two held each other. The both of you soon got very comfortable, having you rest your head against his shoulder as he rest his head on yours. The two of you remained quiet, as if you two were the only ones in the room with the music.
The song finally came to an end, but the both of you didn’t want to detach. You felt so comfortable in Ashton’s hold, feeling like you two have fused too much to be apart. His pungent scent of him danced in your nose as you began tracing small circles at the nap of his neck. He did the same, tapping against your lower back as his chin rested on your head.
“Can you guys just go out already?” Luke shouted, popping you two from distracting. You quickly detached yourself from Ashton, seeing him flush just as much as you did. Your eyes noticed Michael holding up his phone towards you guys, putting it down quickly before tapping away on it.
“Mate, did you just record that?” Ashton began quietly, a more upbeat song coming from the stereo as Michael nodded happily.
“You guys were so cute though!” Michael gushed, having him put away his phone. Soon after he did, a vibration was felt against your leg. You fish your phone from your pocket to blush from the notification you saw. Unlocking your phone, you check the post Michael tagged you in on twitter, which was the video of you and Ashton.
“’Who ships them just as much as I do?’” Ashton read the caption, seeing him blush harshly as well before placing his hand in front of his lips. You covered your face as well, feeling butterflies appear in your tummy as everybody else went ‘aww’ over you guys.
“But you guys are adorable!” Calum cheered, having you drop your hands from your face before looking over at Ashton. His eyes were already set on your, having him smile happily at you. You returned the smile, having the two of you share the same feeling for one another.
To think it took one slow dance, a video, and 3 Australian idiots to have you realize that your true love was the boy who stepped on your feet.
