at that point in time it was nearly impossible to wipe the smile off her features, head nodding in agreement to the compliment. she could tell he was fishing for another compliment— there was no point in not giving jackson what he wanted. ally remained silent, free hand reaching to move towards his face. two could play at that game. she practically refused to speak as her hand finally reached its destination, extending her pointer finger, eyes gleaming when she finally got a chance to run it along the bridge of his nose just as he’d done with her plenty of times. “you’ve got the prettiest nose i’ve ever seen, too.” was she mocking him? maybe. she doubted he cared. teasing each other had always been a big part of their relationship. that was not the case, however, when she heard the next few words leave his mouth.
“i’m so proud of you.” she wanted him to know that more than anything. eyes still searching his as his hands reached for her hips, she shook her head. even though ally may have been wrong (to which she would never admit) she still got the sense that he didn’t think that five days sober was a big accomplishment. “i’m so, so proud of you, honey.” before she has the chance to continue, ally let out a minuscule squeal at the sudden change of positions. while she knew sex wasn’t on the forefront of his mind, that didn’t mean she wasn’t going to continue to tease him. “whichever option has us not going home at the end of the week is fine with me…” she wrapped her arms around his neck as she spoke, eyes continuing to stare up at him. she hesitated, if only for a moment, to subtly raise her hips against his on the mattress. “what… do you want me to tell you how how much i love you? confess how much i want to marry you and have your babies?” she knows what she’s doing. one hand began to trail down along his back, lower and lower, while her hips rolled in a slow, circular motion. she still can’t help but smirk as the next few words leave her lips: “gross. over my dead body.”
that SMILE . he can never quite get enough of it . . . is that so terrible ? jackson will return it tenfold , and he knows that — finally — he’s doing the right thing in life . she is what’s right in his life . ally even furthers the affectionate teasing by running her index finger down along the bridge of his nose , something he’s done to her more times than he can even count . . . it’s THEIR thing , and has been since day one . he absolutely adores her nose . “ yeah ? it is pretty fuckin’ pretty , ain’t it ? ” jackson will gladly play along . it’s moments like these that he lives for .
but things are soon a bit more serious , and ally is PRAISING him . the rockstar doesn’t exactly do well with such praise and compliments , but he’ll try anything for her . after all , she’s stuck by him when she truly shouldn’t have , and has had faith in him more than anyone else has in his life . . . even more faith than his own brother . for that he can never thank the brunette enough . “ thank you . ” he’ll manage to get out once he’s situated himself carefully over her , the man between her thighs and his upper half held up by one hand at her hip and the other pressed into the bed beside her . however , he should have seen it coming what she does next , and despite the seriousness of the conversation , it’s quickly turning playful ; it’s easier for both of them when that happens . address the serious , but comfort one another along the way . “ i’ll see what i can do . . . try to get a few more shows added . ” the schedule a tour takes time , after all , but if ally wants that — he’ll make damn sure she gets what she wants . but her hips lift the next second , and their talk of LOVE quickly gets . . . exciting . brows lift . “ you wanna marry me and have my babies ? ” even when she feigns disgust he knows she’s only teasing him , and as her hips roll up again he’ll make a point of grasping her hip and pushing her down carefully . her wandering hand doesn’t worry him . . . for now . “ or do you not ? ” eyes narrow now , as if he’s truly confused . . . jackson knows that they have a special connection , and he knows that — in time — they’ll reach both of those milestones together . “ i’m not sure what you want here , baby . ” head lowers , eyes closing as he allows lips to hover just centimeters from ally’s own . he won’t push for anything physical still , wanting to allow the brunette ( his EVERYTHING ) to make the move or tell him what she wants . after all , they’re playing with each other right now . . . it doesn’t always mean either one of them is necessarily in the mood .
