16 w/ ash from the angst/fluff list if u haven’t done it already? ❤️
16. “I’ve got you.”
5 Seconds of Summer shows were always bustling. The fans at every show seemed to have even more energy than the last, every one got crazier. You loved being backstage to watch them, sometimes even daring to go on the balcony - but you had to be wary of some of the fans. Being Ashton’s girlfriend brought a lot of unwanted attention, and you didn’t always feel safe, especially without your boyfriend around.
As soon as the show ended, most of the fans huddled around the back gate, waiting to catch a glimpse of the guys leaving and heading to the bus. You always hung back in the dressing room after the show with Ashton, the rest of the band and their respective girlfriends. Security always checked the back exits, working out the best way to get to the buses without getting mobbed. The guys were exhausted after their shows, and even though they loved meeting fans, all they wanted to do was shower and sleep.
“Guys, we’re gonna have to be a little more careful tonight. There’s a lot of people out the back, okay? We’ll take you two at a time. We don’t have time to stop for anyone, so just focus on getting to the bus please.” Their managers familiar voice took over the dressing room, his serious tone getting everyone’s attention. It wasn’t anything new - you were all used to the seas of people all wanting just one photo of the guys. It always made you a little anxious, knowing a lot of people would be looking at you, and wanting yours and Ashton’s attention.
“C’mon, love.” Ashton wrapped his arm around your shoulders, pulling you into his body protectively. You tucked your head into his neck, knowing the fans would go crazy when the two of you stepped outside. You didn’t mind them taking photos - but you just felt exposed, and knew you’d feel more safe pressed tightly to Ashton’s body. “Just stay close to me, okay? You know I won’t let them get to you.”
You nodded against his shoulder, reaching up to kiss his cheek. There was one security guard in front of the two of you, and one behind you, and as soon as the door opened, the screams suddenly became much louder. Ashton kissed your temple softly, pulling you in tight as you began to make your way to the buses. Much to your dismay, paparazzi had also decided to wait outside to capture photos of the band leaving the venue, which made the task of getting through the crowd much harder.
People had started to push forward, shoving their phones near Ashton’s face as you tried to move through the crowd. The flashes from the cameras were a lot of your eyes to take in, and you hid your face against Ashton’s neck the best that you could as he held your shoulders. He noticed you were beginning to panic a little, and it made his heart ache.
“It’s okay, babe.” He soothed over all of the noise, kissing your temple again as the security guard behind the two of you guided you forward carefully. “I’ve got you. We’re nearly there.”
He knew the crowds stressed you out a little and he felt guilty that it was such a big part of his job, knowing that you’d have to put up with it for as long as you were with him, which he hoped would be forever. You finally made it to the buses and he let you get on first, closely following behind you.
“You okay?” He asked sweetly, holding his hands in yours and kissing your knuckles. You nodded, leaning forward to kiss his lips again. “Let’s head to bed, love.”
