✿ ; ashley x aster (I'd send it from his account but I'm on mobile right now #lazylife)
send me ✿ + a ship and i’ll tell you… ✿ + aster // @ashagainstzombies.
who is more excited for halloween?
they tend to hang out with his team and take part in a halloween pub crawl; this is also their new years plan but them kissing at midnight is another story. the pubs tend to have events going on for halloween and they’re in costume for these – aster judges his teammates when they show up as hockey players as if it’s not their job. because of the costume component, ashley tends to be more excited – don’t get him wrong, it’s because his knockout wife puts on a costume he can’t wait to take off.
who gives the best gifts?
they are awful with gifts if you ask them, but ash is better than he thinks. he knows flowers are off the table because he might get shoved out of the bedroom with accusations of cheating again; he isn’t sure what else he’s supposed to get for a wife because no women has made it that far before. he has to adapt because she’s got him locked in for life; he’s given her jerseys to wear and such, simple jewelry, and a stepping stool as a joke. “if i use the stool, what good are you?” “… don’t act like sex isn’t my strong point.”
who sings along to the radio the loudest?
aster and the radio are ash’s favourite combination. he’ll have her in the passenger seat with her feet up and singing along to the songs she likes; she shushes him, “shut up – i love this song.” but it’s even better when it’s a song she hates, she mumbles angrily between singing – “god, i hate this fucking song.” she says before she sings it again. he refuses to let her live down the time he caught her dancing to hotline bling when he came home early.
who actually finishes a book they’ve started?
neither of them have finished a book since they started dating. they have a fun relationship and it’s almost as if their honeymoon phase has been going on for years; the constant sex, the active lifestyle, the cute bickering, and the looks of admiration they share make it seem like they’ve never let their honeymoon end. they don’t settle into routines; there’s no “he brushes his teeth for bed while i read a book” situation or anything like it. when they’re together, they’re bickering or talking or kissing or something, but they’re definitely not ignoring each other for books.
who falls asleep during a movie?
if aster chose the movie: ash. she chooses old movies and she once made him watch casablanca; he fell asleep halfway in. he woke up with aster straddling his waist and hitting him with a pillow, “babe, get up. get up. this is one of the greatest movies made, you have to get u–not that kind of up.”
who plans a surprise getaway vacation?
she fully embraces her status as a hockey wife; she tries to be at all of his away-games when possible, but she understands that there are some she won’t make it to. the traveling wears her down, even though she doesn’t do as much of it as he does. aster has this understanding that he gets tired with all the traveling; in lieu of that, she books them a nice hotel and treats him when he gets home. that’s her “surprise getaway vacation” for him – the two of them, phones off, room service, and expensive silk sheets to ruin.
who comes home with useless decorative knick knacks for the house every single day?
ash brings souvenirs from the states he plays in; he doesn’t realize how many of them have accumulated and how out of place they look in their home. they’ve got this cute, somewhat rustic house and these odd souvenirs – slow globes, key chains, little flags, and an assortment of other state-specific stuff. she only keeps them because she thinks he’s cute.
someone needs to take instagram away from both of them. as if their descriptions aren’t enough ( “ash forsythe / ak” and “aster kuhn / af” ), their content is somehow worse. there are uploads of them cuddled up in bed, bare enough for their friends and followers to infer they were naked. ash has a photo of her standing with her back to him in a sports bra and yoga pants that he took after their hike with a caption saying “what a view” and he’s not talking about the sky.
who likes baths? who likes showers?
don’t talk to them about showers and baths. do not. this is a problem area for them; their heights play a bigger role in this than you think. these two keep their sex life interesting; shower sex factors in. it’s inconvenient for aster because shower sex has to be standing up and she’s small; the slipperiness of the water makes it that much more of a hassle. ash, he hates baths – he doesn’t fit in the tub comfortably.
who keeps a weekly planner?
ashley kind of has a planner by default – check when he’s playing on the internet, you’ve got his work schedule. other than that, they have a google calendar they share that hasn’t been updated since evangeline’s birthday. the only way to know what these two are up to is … checking their instagrams. a photo of their intertwined fingers next to a menu? they’re at a restaurant.
who actually watches the discovery channel?
he has watched more documentaries about lions than he thought he would because aster loves discovery channel. he falls asleep when she switches to the discovery channel; she doesn’t notice until it’s over and when she does, she decides to nap on him. the only time he didn’t fall asleep was when there was a documentary about how leopard slugs have sex and that shit was too weird to sleep through.
who brings up having kids first?
the first conversation about kids happens in the limousine that waited for them outside of their wedding. she kisses his neck and mumbles about how they don’t need to go on a honeymoon to make a baby; it’s a joke about limo sex, really. if we want to be technical, aster is the first to bring up having kids. when it comes to the serious possibility of kids, ash brings it up. a few of his teammates have newborns or toddlers; he sees them at practices or hears about them and he starts considering having one of his own with aster. he seems preoccupied during dinner, so she kicks his foot insisting: “tell me what you’re thinking about. we’re married, you have to.” he blurts out, “we should have a baby.”
who fixes things around the house when they break?
ashley – kind of. if something breaks, it’s his responsibility to fix it and he doesn’t mind; he tries his best and it pays off because they end up as good as new. however, it takes forever. that’s on aster. she likes to watch him while he fixes things and she’s not sure why, but it does so much for her. “do you wanna make out?” “babe, i’m trying to fix the dishwasher.” “…so?”
who leaves their dirty towels on the floor?
they have a deal: if she finds his towels on the floor, she won’t go down on him for a week. there are rarely dirty towels left around the house because he was the culprit; the threat of a blowjob-strike is enough to get him to keep the house clean. if they’ve left a towel laying around, it’s because they’re both too exhausted to care.
who makes the coffee in the morning?
their mornings involve her legs wrapped around his waist while she sits on the granite counters; his hands under the oversized shirt she’s wearing as he keeps her close against him for lengthy kisses. this is what they do while they wait for the coffee to finish; she started making it for breakfast and she forgot about it entirely when he woke up.
who gets jealous over very petty things?
they are both jealous trash. god, they are trash. he hates it when someone flirts with her and she doesn’t shut them down; if she plays along, they’re having angry and possessive sex when they get home. she hates it if she sees overly-eager women interested in his career; she makes the point of wrapping her arm around his waist and leaning on him.
it used to be aster – she worked on her body without fail and without missing a day. it was part of her job to be in ace shape; she protected the city. she changed career directions a few years into their marriage; she pursues poetry because she feels passionate about it ( she writes about ashley so much. ) that leaves ash as the one that works out more in their relationship – he still has to keep up a good physique for his job.
who starts listening to christmas music in october?
i’m not saying ash sings all i want for christmas is you from november until december, but he does. she promises not to tell anyone about it and she finds it cute; aster likes to pretend it annoys her, “ashley, shut up – you already have me.” however, it’s one of the things she wouldn’t change about him.
who actually reads the newspaper?
he brings the paper in, rolls it up, and smacks her ass with it. after that, the paper kind of goes missing – neither of them read it, but it does get brought in. they get their news from the internet; smartphones are a wonderful invention. the only thing the paper is good for is smacking your wife’s ass in the morning, if you ask ash.
