Rachel's P.O.V.

A few weeks had passed and for once things were working out reasonably for me. Me and Ashton had been hanging out a lot more, frequently going on dates, and I was really enjoying spending time with him.

We were at that weird stage where you're more than friends but not quite a couple. I was quite happy though, taking things slow and relaxed. It was new and exciting and I enjoyed it.

However on this particular day Ashton was acting anything but relaxed. I had come over to the boys to watch them rehearse for a gig they had booked the next day but for some reason Ashton kept messing up the beat and dropping his drumsticks.

Eventually the boys decided to call it a day, muttering about 'needing food' and having 'important plans' before all leaving one by one,until it was only Ashton and I left. I gestured for him to sit next to me on the couch which he done hesitantly.

"You okay?" I asked softly, allowing my hand to tangle itself in his curly hair,something I had gotten used to doing.

He nodded but refused to meet my ,causing me to suspicious.

"What's up Ash?" I used my other hand to hold his jaw,forcing his head around so he was facing me.

He sighed, gently pushing my hands away.

"I need to ask you something and I'm worried it's gonna make things weird" he admitted softly. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"What could you possibly ask that would make things weird?" I questioned, genuinely hoping for an answer.

He sighed again,ruffling his hair quickly before taking hold of my hand. He rubbed his thumb along the back of my hand softly,something i noticed he did when he was nervous.

"You can say no, okay?" He assured me.

"Sure Ashton" I replied,more curious by the minute.

He gulped before tearing his gaze our entwined fingers.

"D-Do you wanna maybe it official? You know make us official.." He trailed off with a nervous glance up at me.

I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from smiling and asked. "You mean like...?"

"Like boyfriend and girlfriend official" he clarified.

I didn't restrain my smile any longer and pressed a quick kiss to his lips.

"I'd love to" I replied. Ittook him only a second to react, leaning back in to kiss me again. When we parted I couldn't help but wonder.

"Is that why you've been acting weird today?" I questioned with a small smirk.

He bit his lip,his cheeks flushing ever so slightly.

"Maybe" he mumbled, his forehead against mine.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"You big dork" I giggled,once again letting my lips meet his.
