you almost vomit at the sight of this guy.
âwhats a pretty girl like you doinâ all alone?â a man says, getting way too close for your liking.
you werenât in the mood to be nice. âuh what the hell-? get off me,â you shove him as hard as you could, knocking him into a few people behind him. half of his drink spills onto the floor and youâre not sorry about it in the least. âidiot,â you mumble.
âcome on sweetheart.â he laughs as he grabs your arm, bony fingers gripping onto your skin.
ross is next to you in an instant, and you wonder for a split second how he got here so fast.
âtouch her again and your face hits the floor next.â
âyeah? and who are you, her dad?â
oh god, you think.
you hear rossâ fist makes contact with the guyâs face and you squint, hearing people gasp at your boyfriendâs actions. itâs a whirlwind of fists hitting faces and pushing and shoving in an instant âyouâre sure someoneâs night is going to end in the hospital.
onlookers smile and watch the show as punches swing, one landing particularly hard on the other guysâ face.
âross, stop!â you try.
the sounds of bodies thudding against walls and knocking over a table or two fill the room, then replaced by rowdy shoutingâ luckily the bartender shouted something at both parties, and now you and ross were making your way back to the car.
***
you sigh at the cabinet as you feel his eyes from behind you. of course rossâ actions came from good intentions, but he went over the top. dramatically. like a blinding marquee with seven different colors dramatic.
you take a look at him, noting his lower lip thatâs busted and swollen, accompanied with a bruised eye. itâs yellow and turning green, with a few cuts in his face. ross jolts a little when the plastic first aid kit slams the counter.
âyou alright?â he asks, voice rough and thick with hearing your answer.
a half-hearted laugh leaves you, âyour lip is bleeding and youâre asking if Iâm okay?â
he nods, âmhmm.â
the flat is quiet, a certain buzz between you two that you canât quite figure. tension? possessiveness? care? you werenât sure.
âhold still.â
ross softly hisses at the wet towel that makes contact with his lip. he watches as you dab his lip slowly, the pain being replaced with an odd sense of consideration. your hands are shaking, eyes focused on his wounds, but he knows your mind is in another place.
âI didnât know if he was gonna hurt you.â he admits defensively.
you pulling back as you fidget with the towel in your hands, eyes flickering between him and your hands. âi can handle that sort of stuff myself.â
âjust donât want you to feelinâ unsafe with me around. ever.â
ross didnât really have a temper, but when it came to you he would say or do whatever to protect you, and tonight proved that.
âIâm sorry, love.â
âitâs okay,â you say truthfully.
ross softly smiles, pulling you close to him. his hands are warm in your hips, steady and firm, lips close to yours.
thereâs a softness behind his eyes now, a hint of admiration and longing. he lingers there for a moment, cupping the side of your cheek.
that unknown feeling is gone now, the annoyance, fear, and small amount of anger even.
he gently presses his lips to yours, and itâs warm and comforting. he presses your body close together, tighter, and a slightly painful noise to catch in his throat. you pull back in concern, but he holds you close.
âsorry.â you say.
he winces, like the word reminded him of every action that dented his face. his fingers lightly presses the scar underneath his eye, and a small gasp leaves you.
âross,â you lean away for a moment, concern in every edge of your face, âyour hands.â
he stretches them out, skin broken and dried blood staining his knuckles. ross watches as you wipe the back of his hands, gentle and soft. it aches, but the fact that youâre the one cleaning him up makes it all the better.
long blurb about your first time make out with whitaker from âthe pittâ bc why not
minors do not interact, all fics are 18+.
heâll never do anything youâre uncomfortable with until you say something because: 1, heâs a gentleman and 2, youâve told him about last partners that have jumped to things way more than you were comfortable with which is why you told him you wanted to take it slow, and in that ramble-ey whitaker way he agreed with several mumblings of âof course. yeah. of- Iâd neverâŠyeah.' heâs mentioned heâs done some stuff with other people, but is more than happy and willing to go at your pace.
the first time you really fool around is in the middle of the night after a movie youâve chosen hours ago is done, and you wake up to him running his fingers over your neck, to your clavicle, then shoulder like a circuit. heâs done this before â it seems to be a relaxing for him, you figure. you wake up to the sensation, and lift your head to see a dazed but awake dennis. âyou alright?â
he hums, shifting closer to you, and after a while tries to calm himself down as you just stare at him. the light from the tv catches him just right, his curls, cute nose, stunning eyes. you smile to yourself as you mount him and heâs caught very off guard.
he places his hands on your hips, âis this okay?â
âif it is with you.â
he nods, breathing you in- your perfume thatâs now faded, the shampoo you use- and oh my god the fact that youâre just so sitting on top of him so close and sweetly makes him want to ruin you.
his warm lips run along your neck like heâs done many times, and smiles to himself feeling your heart rate increase. dennis says something before he can even think, voice low but audible.
âyou like it when i do that, hm?â
his chest presses into yours and your lips are mere millimeters away. youâve kissed before, but now something feels⊠different.
a good different.
you feel your breath get shallow, âyeah.â
he smiles, and his lips press against yours again with a hand in your hair, and he melts. considerably. it makes you giggle because the stress from his shoulders drop, along with any worry that chased him home. you can feel him start to get hard underneath you, but frankly he's to enamored with you to notice.
his hands wander under the back of your shirt, but then tense. his eyes go wide and your voice perks up in the back of his head, the words âunpleasantâ and ânever againâ ping ponging back and forth.
dennis pulls away quick, not wanting to scare you, his face twisting in worry and and internal debate if he should stop. heâd hate to be added to that list of assholes that didnât think about you.
âare you- uhâŠâ
a beat passes.
âcomfortable? with all this?â
he runs his hands up and down your body slow, his eyes trailing not far behind â youâve never felt this cared for, this⊠seen, this⊠wanted. you bury your face into his neck with because all he wants is to make you feel good.
heâll ask consent of every little thing he wants to do with his pouty blue eyes in the softest, most adoring tone, âcan i â can I take this off?â which gets met with a smile and the small sound of your bra unclasping. youâre both breathing heavily as he removes it for you, and he chuckles kindly at your sudden shyness, burying your face into his neck.
âheyy, donât hide from me.â
you nuzzle in closer; he always smells like firewood somehow.
âsweetie c'mon,â his voice urges.
you manage to conjure up the courage to make eye contact, "hi denny."
"hi."
bonus:
after a few sessions like this, he gets more confident in how he handles you, what you like and how to get you riled up. in that, he doesnât realize heâs also making noise, small throaty whimpers and moans that turn you on even more. he'll just tug and pull on the back of your shirt and mumble, âfuck, I love it when youâre on top of me like thisâ and will literally never break the kiss before you do because he just wants to be attached to you always.
bf!franco who will never let you touch a door handle. ever. he will literally look at you like you insulted his entire bloodline if you reach for anything remotely close to a handle.
bf!franco who will ask you permission for everything. not in a child like way, but more in a âchecking if this will upset youâ way. and also because heâs a little scared of your reaction if he doesnât tell you.
âamor im gonna go out for a bit but Iâll be back soon, yeah?â
âokay, babe. have fun.â
âitâll take an hour at most.â
âI- okay?â
âIâll be back soon, I love you!â
bf!franco who is very quiet and respectful in public but a menace otherwise. heâs three times now tried to sway you from going out to girls night.
âbaby itâs just dinner Iâll be back in a few hours, okay? Iâll think youâll survive.â
ânooo amorcita. stayyy.â
âfranco, let me gooo.â
if youâre adamant, he will resort to drastic measures: getting on his knees and begging in spanish.
that usually works.
bf!franco who will tease you when your friends are almost out of earshot, slightly hoping theyâll hear what he says.
âfranco, seriously,â you smile. âstop it.â
âreally mamĂ? last night it was âdonât stop baby,â and âfranco please, harder-â
âOH MY GOD STOP TALKING. FOREVER.â
bf!franco who will talk about you in interviews but never drop your name. always says âmy girlfriendâ this and âmy girlâ that. everyone has a suspicion to who you are, but never totally pinpoint you.
bf!franco that loves to surprise you with small gifts. flowers, cards, anything to say heâs thinking about you.
thank you for my tulips and note theyâre gorgeous xx
just like you amor :) miss you baby
miss you more đ also you donât have to send them next time, you can just text me that you love me you know
no â€ïž
bf!franco that turns to mush once your hands are in his hair. or anywhere else on him for that matter. heâll rant and then go in for a hug, your hands finding their way to his locks and he slowly stops talking.
bf!franco that used the phrase âI love youâ as his reason for everything.
âI brought medicine, tissues and that magazine you always bring home.â
âhold on. you drove two hours to give me stuff I couldâve gotten in ten minutes?â
âi love you donât i?â
âthatâs not-â
bf!franco who will stare at you when youâre trying to focus. he just likes to see you so dedicated to whatever it is youâre working on. when you slightly look over at him with an amused smile he turns his head in the opposite direction just so he doesnât break your focus.
bf!franco who loves hearing you call him by his last name. something about the way you say it makes his knees buckle and mind go blank.
âcolapinto, did you take my keys?â
âaye⊠cĂłmo?â
âmy keys? do you know where they are?â
âehm, i donât, i-â
ânever mind.â
bf!franco who hypes you up even if you dress up a little. small clunky high heels? boom, pet name. that short dress he bought you two weeks ago? boom, compliment.
âready to go?â
âyeah, let me just-â
âdios mĂo amor,â
âwhat, whatâs wrong?â
âmy girlâs looking gorgeous! give me a little spin, baby.â
bf! franco who will never admit heâs sleepy because he wants to be conscious around you.
sleepy!franco who sleep talks. the first time you were just reading a book and it scared you half to death.
sleepy!franco who always falls asleep on the couch then refuses to go to bed.
âhey, franco wake up.â
âhmm?â
âbaby itâs almost midnight letâs go to bed yeah?â
ânoo, estoy cĂłmodo.â
âi love you, but I donât care. cmon.â
sleepy!franco who always sends you to sleep in one of his hoodies. his pulls it over your body then kisses your forehead, with a mumbled âI love youâ.
bf!franco who makes you his personal translator for colloquial terms. he nods and laughs when hears them throughout the day but will only ask you to explain it to him.
the sheets move with calum as the sun outside cracks through the blinds, encouraging him to start his day. he certainly doesnât want to, now that your asleep but his side.
it was a split decision, you staying with him last night. you were just supposed to drop off something he left at your apartment and ended up watching a movie. he loved that it was so easy with you around.
the bed creaks softly beneath him as his arms stretch out, careful not to wake you. calum rests his head on his pillow, watching your chest rise and fall with ease. youâre like a painting â full of life and color always.
you stir, almost like you know heâs looking at you, and once youâre almost conscious, calum pulls himself closer to you, âmorninâ gorgeous.â
he watches as sleep slowly departs from you, a smile starting to form and your eyes blinking slowly to see him.
oh, how he loves you so.
âgâmorning.â a content hum passes you lips as you smile into his chest. your fingers trace over his tattoos like they always do, the small sensation making his heart thud against his chest.
heâs so comfortable, so warm that you could justâŠ
âhey, donât fall back asleep. you just woke up.â he teases.
you groan lightly, calumâs hands intertwining with yours. âanything planned for today handsome?â
ânot with you like this,â he presses a small kiss to your forehead and you burrow your body closer to his. âcomfortable?â he asks, already knowing the answer.
a/n: hope you all are well, and if not Iâm sending hugs and love your way :) this is also kinda short⊠anyway enjoy!
summary: 1975!member auâs
cw: none I donât think
minors do not interact, all fics are 18+.
1975!member who didnât (and still doesnât really) know how to play the guitar. George has been secretly teacher how to play it, but in the studio she makes the guys play the chords to hear what it sounds like.
1975!member who always insists on her hair being down during every show. it gets hella knotted and the boys have to deal with her complaining but it makes her feel like a rockstar.
1975!member who writes songs in the dead of night. says her best ideas and thoughts come alive when everyoneâs asleep. ross catches her quite frequently, an ankle high pile of lyrics and her laptop within arms reach.
âhey kid.â
âhi.â
âwhy arenât you asleep?â
âcould ask you the same thing.â
1975!member that loves to sit on the roof or on the hotel balcony and have a snack in the dead of night. it happens mostly on tour, with only ross knowing since she certainly would get a berating from matty or adam that she needs sleep in order to function the next day. ross one time sent her room service since he saw she was active on social media and received just about a million âthank youâ and âyou didnât have to do thatâ texts.
1975!member who loves a good rom com. her favorites include 10 things i hate about you, notting hill, love actually, and 50 first dates. sheâs a sucker for romantic love yet somehow has experienced so little of it in her own life.
1975!member who gets very emotional onstage when matty talks to the crowd. her and ross are having a chat then she catches a glimpse of some poet-like profound thing matty has said and practically bursts into tears. ross always has a pocket tissue or handkerchief on his stage of the stage in preparation for thisâ he simply knows her too well.
1975!member who dyes her hair at the start of every tour. it was a thing for both her and matty, choosing a wacky color and be matching, but in recent years has slacked off due to mattyâs hair being âfried like an eggrollâ. her next victim is george⊠surely heâd do it, right?
1975!member whose party trick is juggling mini cans of soupâŠdonât ask.
a/n: my first time writing smut adjacent things in a while (Iâm so sorry if this is shit I did my best okay đ) enjoy!
summary: a fight with Ashton turns into something softer.
cw: fighting, slight make out sesh

***
it was a dumb thing to say. idiotic even.
yes. definitely idiotic.
it started off with one question about his tour schedule and somehow ended like a car wreck that did about a thousands flips in the two minutes that already passed.
âwhy donât you say anything, ash? you hate it as much as the other guys do!â
âitâs a decision we all make, Y/N. I canât keep telling you that!â
âoh so so now itâs my fault that youâve been gone for half the year?â
âwow.â
***
guilt leans your body against the wall, head meeting the wall with a light thump, and a flood of emotions rolls into your stomach when you see him.
ashtonâs humming softly to himself, hunched over his guitar, clearly exhausted. his fingers fidget with the strings, their usual familiarity with the instrument far gone.
heâd fled the room earlier in a quiet disbelief, your words pushing him at an alarming rate. youâd had your fair share of fights as a couple, but this one felt like the worst.
you tap on the door. âhey.â
âhi.â
you gesture to the empty space next to him, âcan i-?â
he shifts slightly, eyes distracted. âyeah.â
you note his one word answers: not good.
âheard you playing earlier.â
any word you said felt like a scar to his body, bloody and painful.
his focus returns back to the instrument.
âhmm.â
your hand meets his before he starts nervously playing like he was.
âIâm sorry.â
ashtonâs breath hitched like youâve said it again. tears prick at his wyes, threatening to escape. he reaches and places the guitar on its stand as you search for explanation for him. an answer. anything, really.
he stops you before you could start.
âyou think I want to be away from home? from my family, and-â
you swallow hard.
âthat i-⊠i like being so far from you? no. it fucking sucks. and I hate that when I call you thereâs that crack in your voice when i ask if youâre okay. i-â
his hazel eyes meets yours, and you feel like your skin is on fire. the guilt in your body is replaced with something warmer.
he sighs and you feel his breath close to you, âi would never go on tour again if it mean that you were always with me.â
his lips are on yours and it feels like you both can breathe again. ashtonâs hand press against your face, caring and secure as his tongue clashes with yours.
the hurt has faded, but your stomach twists at the guilt that still aches. your hands tangle in his hair as he pulls back as you ramble,
âIâm so sorry, ash. I was being a complete asshole and I didnât-â
âhey,â he lightly shushes you, ânone of that sweetheart.â
you nod, his lips biting and sucking as they travel down your neck to your chests. your eyes shut at the feeling, ashtonâs actions making your grind against him.
his lips leave a small trail of red on your chest as he looks at you.
it was dumb. such a dull and pathetic comment that ruined your day the moment you saw those words in that online article. you knew better than to get offended by shit that people post on the internet, but that one comment really got you:
guess her birth year isnât a dealbreaker, huh?
you peek your head and see ross sitting so comfortably and coolly in front of his computer. you squeeze through the crack of the door, watching him for a minute or two.
âcan I ask you something?â your voice trembles. anxiety twists in your stomach at the thought of asking, but itâs been on repeat in your mind.
ross re-racks the bass on the holder next to him, calm and steady. ââcourse love.â he motions you over to a nearby couch, pulling you onto his lap. he places a few kisses on you, lovingly and gentle, and and suddenly your face feels hot, sure this is stupid to ask him, becauseâŠ
how do you even say this?
rossâ eyebrows furrow in concern at your newfound quietness. âdarling, whatever it is, you can tell me.â he smiles, pulling you closer to him. âitâs alright.â
your body shifts against his awkwardly. âdo you ever think about being with someone else?â
he tenses, speaking slow. âno, why? is there someone else?â
you shake your head, âno! no.â never in a million years would you think that. you sigh, âI just meant⊠do you wish you were with someone, you know. older? more mature?â
he thinks for a moment. maybe. in a different life. one thatâs boring. itâs a life you werenât in. so,
âno.â he answers simply.
âwhat?â youâre shocked. youâd thought he would have a little more to say than a simple âno.â âyouâre not even going to try to fight me on this?â
he sighs, âi promise itâs not that big of a deal, doll.â
you huff, âpeople stare at me ross. actually stare! you donât get it, feel it. wherever we are it feels like weâre doing something wrong, and i-â
his voice cuts through your thoughts, âdo you think our relationship is wrong?â
âI-? no.â
âokay.â his thumb grazes your lips, âand are you happy with me?â
âyeah. of course.â
his eyes are on yours now, hopeful he can change your mind. âthen thatâs all that matters⊠us. âi love you. and that will never change y/n, no matter how old we are.â he speaks like the words are weightless, âi love you because you make me a better person. you make me so happy.â
âoh,â you sniffle. ross wipes a stray tear from your cheek. âIâm sorry baby. was just thinking about it a lot, dunno why...â you bury your face in his shirt, and feel his hand on the back of your head.
âitâs okay,â a small laugh rumbles in his chest. after a few minutes he speaks. âI canât wait for our wedding day when Iâm seventy and youâre, like, forty five.â
you lift your head and see his smile, almost giddy. he pulls you in, placing a soft kiss on your lips. âthe three of us are going to have the best day of our lives.â
your eyebrow cocks, âthe three of us?â
âmhmm.â he mumbles into your skin. âyou, me, and my cane.â
