The Ginger Prince & Princess Leia

By the time I made it back to my bus and had gotten out of the shower my twitter had exploded. I popped open my feed on my phone and scrolled through it while my flat iron heated up.
@boobear1234: I hope @kaylaDOT is okay, the song was pretty and we love you.

@ofJamieeeeandmen: I don’t know what’s going on but @AlanAshby was at @DancingOnTables set today and consoled their singer, Kayla.

@JennyAshby: @KaylaDOT better not be dating my husband @AlanAshby. He’s mine bitch.
I chuckled and sent a tweet to Alan knowing that he wouldn’t see it until he got off stage.

@KaylaDOT; A big thank you to @AlanAshby for being there for me today, you’re a great friend. And to the fans for always believing in me!

As I finished getting ready for my date I thought about whether or not Alan actually cared if everyone knew about us. I wouldn’t mind telling the fans about us but was a little worried that things were too early for that.
I threw on my favorite skinnies and an OM&M tank hoping to get a giggle out of him and headed towards mainstage. Flashing my pass I was allowed backstage and stood off to the side waiting for them to finish their set.
When they finished Austin ran towards me, “Hello darling, I heard you had a little mental breakdown today, welcome to the club.” I smiled and gave him a hug.
“Yeah, call me crazy.”
“Who’s crazy?” Alan laughed wrapping an arm around me.
“Me.” I mumbled as he nodded quickly.
“Only a little.” He pulled me to him kissing me quickly and looked down at my outfit. “Nice shirt. I need like 15 minutes and we can head out okay?” I nodded and followed them back to their bus where Alan hopped in the shower only to be harassed by Austin the whole time.
I sat on the couch with Aaron and scrolled through the new tweets I was getting. There were a few that really weren’t buying that Alan and I were just friends, others couldn’t believe that I suffered from panic attacks too.

@SexyLexy: @KaylaDot, I don’t know about you but it’s nice to see someone else has the same problems as me. Hope you’re doing okay darling.

@TraceyyOMAM : I think they’re cute, even if they’re only friends. #Kaylan<3

@Sarahthedoctor: OBVIOUS, SO IN LOVE @KaylaDOT and @AlanAshby.

The last one had a picture of Alan blowing me a kiss and me smiling from earlier in the day.
“Cute. They ship it.” Tino mumbled smiling to himself.
At that moment Alan stumbled out into the front lounge angrily. His tank top was on backwards and his pants were unzipped. He looked up giving me the most pathetic face ever.
“Was anyone going to save me?” He frowned and turned to flip off Austin who was giggling.
“Sorry baby.” I mumbled walking over to help him fix his shirt while he zipped his pants. He wrapped his arm around me and turned to flip off Austin again.
“We’re leaving.” He grumbled pulling me with him down the steps and out the door.
He started walking holding my hand and pulled me towards the tree line, I rose an eyebrow but followed him nonetheless. Moving through the trees I was glad I had worn my Converse instead of the heels I had set out.
“Alan, where are we going?” He laughed and kept going without answering me. After about a minute he stepped behind me and covered my eyes with his hands.
“Trust me, you’re going to love it.” He walked us forward a few more feet before taking his hands off my eyes. “What do you think?”
In front of me was an open field filled with small flowers and singing birds, the trees created a circle around the area and directly in the middle was a blanket and a back pack.
“Oh my gosh, it’s so pretty.” He nodded pulling me towards the center sitting down on the blanket.
“I found this last year after a particularly bad band fight. Milwaukee is beautiful.” Sitting down next to him I watched as he pulled chips and candies out of the bag followed by a package of Oreos.
“What a healthy dinner.” I joked nudging him with my elbow. He nudged me back and I pushed him harder so he had to catch himself. Quickly I got up and ran away as he followed after me.
“Oh you’re in trouble now.” He yelled and I laughed as I made it back to the blanket. He tackled me and began tickling me until I couldn’t breathe.
When he finally stopped I looked up at him and smiled letting one hand reach up to cup his cheek. He stared down at me for a second before he leaned down and captured my lips with his. After a few seconds he pulled away and pressed his forehead to mine.
“I love doing that.” His voice was breathy and I couldn’t help but lean forward to kiss him again.
“Good, because I love when you do that.”
The sky was darkening by the second and after a few more kisses he rolled over pulling me into his side.
“This is why I brought you out here. It’s absolutely beautiful at night.” I looked up to the sky and watched as stars started to appear.
When it was dark enough and the stars were completely out I turned to him expecting to find him staring with me. Instead he was looking at me, his eyes half closed a look of pure adoration on his face.
“What?” I whispered not wanting to break the peacefulness.
“Nothing, you’re just beautiful and it’s so easy to be with you. I could spend every day like this.” His eyes sparkled as he spoke and my heart skipped a beat. “Will you be my girlfriend?”
Staring at him for a second I giggled and moved so I could press a soft kiss to his lips.
“Of course I’ll be your girlfriend.” His smile grew and he pulled me closer.
We stayed like that for a few hours, talking about music, our lives and everything else we could think of, as it got closer and closer to midnight I could tell Alan was getting tired.
“Do you want to head back, it’s getting pretty late and I’m exhausted.” He nodded gratefully and began packing his bag handing me the sweatshirt he was holding.
“It’s cold out here.” I pulled it over my head and put the hood up inhaling deeply. It smelled like him and a sudden wave of sadness rushed over me. I didn’t want to leave him, I didn’t want to do anything but sit beside him for the rest of eternity.
I was absolutely terrified, because for the first time in a long time I was comfortable letting someone else into my heart, for the first time in a long time I wasn’t afraid of being hurt because I could tell Alan loved me.
And I was completely head over heels in love with him.

Notes

This chapter gave me such Alan feels, he would be so cute on a date.
I'm sorry.
