I APOLOGISE FOR ANY FORTHCOMING STUPIDITY ft. a weird ashton one shot
I'm so sorry y'all probably think I'm annoying af but you did say make a text post + send imagines and all that so... *insert blushy emoji* okay anyway this is an Ashton one this time, I swear I don't usually swear so much but anyways yeah I'm out
Imagine... Ashton coming back home in a furious mood. The lack of "Hey, babe! I'm back!" is enough to tell you of his dangerous mood, plus the slamming of the door and thunderous stomping of feet only helps to reinforce your suspicion.
You wince, putting down your hair curler and looking at the beautiful dress you have on. Chances are, this date the two of you've been planning for months won't go that well.
"Hey, babe," You call out tentatively.
"What?" He snaps, yanking off his beanie and tossing it onto your shared bed.
"Our reservation is at six, okay?"
"Jesus Christ, I know! You don't have to nag me all the time!" Hurt flashes through you and you step back, deciding to let him get over this himself. Hopefully by the time you get to the restaurant, he'll be in a better mood.
Your hopes are well and truly dashed when the minute you hit the road, traffic clogs up the whole highway, stretching on for miles ahead. Ashton swears up a storm, hitting the steering wheel with the base of his hand. After five straight minutes of swearing, your ears are well and truly burning, so you hurriedly change the subject.
"So... how was your day?"
"Fan-f*cking-tastic, can't you tell? Goddammit, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut about stupid and obvious shit like that!" Anger and hurt rises up within you, and you fight to keep it down.
"Jeez, I was only asking," you resort to muttering sulkily to yourself.
"Well, don't act like such a damn airhead all the time then!"
"What? What the hell does that have to do with anything?" You snap back, anger flaring in your chest.
"It has to do with everything! You not paying attention and instead nagging me nonstop like you're my f*cking mother, and -"
"Jesus Christ, Ashton, what is up your ass today? You come home and damn near bite my head off for reminding you of -"
"- and I told you, you're not my f*cking mother! You're my girlfriend -"
"Though it seems that I won't even be that anymore if you don't get your head out of your ass -" You have no idea what's spilling out of your mouth anymore; you're so mad.
"You want to break up? Fine! It's not as if we were going anywhere further than you nagging my ass all the f*cking time."
"F*ck you, Ashton Irwin." You mutter furiously, blinking back tears as you wrench open the car door and stalk down the shoulder of the road in five-inch heels, for the first time thanking God for the traffic, so you were only five minutes away from the apartment you and Ash shared - well, used to share.
You slam the door of your room open, and ignore all the cute little photos of you and Ash on your bedside table, and start throwing your stuff into a duffel bag. Halfway through packing, you start crying nonstop; deep, heaving sobs that wrack your body. You wish so, so much that Ash would just come back and talk to you, at least, but half an hour passes while you pack your essentials, crying, and hail a cab.
The driver is nice enough not to comment on your nonstop sobbing, so you tip him extra as you stumble out of the cab with your bag in tow, and head up to your best friend's apartment. She's apoplectic with rage when she hears of what Ashton did, but you manage to persuade her not to hunt him down and cut his balls off. As a compromise, she takes your phone and sends him a long, furious text and ending it with a flourish; her name, and a love heart next to it. Then you turn in for bed unwillingly, ending up crying yourself to sleep.
An indistinguishable amount of time later, you're woken up by yelling.
"...can't do shit like that to her, Irwin!"
"I just want to talk to her -" A tingle goes through your body at his familiar voice, and you sit up in bed. Suddenly, the door bangs open and there he is - hair messy, eyes wild, and just as beautiful as he was the day you saw him two years ago.
"You're here," he breathes, and you have to fight the urge not to cry as he runs forward and embraces you in a tight hug. You sit there woodenly, the memory of his hurtful words keeping you from embracing him tightly. He keeps hugging your stiff body, and who knows what you would've done if you hadn't felt the trickle of tears onto the crook of your neck. You hear a faint sniffle, and you sigh softly, folding into him. Ashton rarely ever, ever showed any sign of weakness, and for him to cry, his brain must've finally caught up with his mouth to remind him what he said to you.
Over his shoulder, your best friend raises an eyebrow, and when you nod slightly, she turns and leaves. Moments later you hear the front door slam.
"Hey," you whisper, rubbing a hand down his back and running your fingers through his hair.
"I should be asking you that question," his voice comes out hugely muffled.
"You still have to explain yourself, but I love you."
"You still do?" He pulls back, and the sight of his glossy eyes, green in the dark, makes you want to cry.
"Yes," you nod slowly. "That doesn't just go away in an afternoon, or ever, really." At this, he leans forward and kisses you, proceeding to worship your body in ways he never did before. And at the end of it all, with your bodies tangled with each other's, he exhales softly in your ear.
"I hurt you. So, so much." You lean forward and brush a lock of hair from his forehead.
"I love you. So, so much." The hurt would go away after a while, but the love never would.
