Austin POV-


*6 days later*


I stretched my arms above my head, letting out a long yawn before glancing over at my ginger boyfriend that was still fast asleep,  buried underneath the blankets. I swear Alan would sleep all day if I let him, but I guess he has an excuse to be tired all the time now. Maybe I need to start thinking about getting a different job and buying a bigger apartment or maybe even a house. I can always talk to Alan about it later anyway.

I unhooked the smaller males arms from around my waist before dragging myself out of bed and headed towards the kitchen to make myself something to drink. 

It was New Years eve today and we'd invited over our friends to celebrate with us tonight. There's was bottles of alcohol covering the kitchen table and a ton of food in the fridge that me and Alan brought especially for the party. Unfortunately for Alan, he'll be the one picking us all off the floor at the end of the night since he won't be drinking. 

I grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge before returning to the bedroom to Alan that was still laying in the same position that I'd left him in. I climbed back into the bed next to him, setting the bottles down and brushed some hair from his face. 

He began to stir around before opening his beautiful brown eyes to look at me, "Morning, Mr Carlile.. Any particular reason you chose to wake me up..?" He grumbled, pulling the blankets over his head. 

"I didn't mean to wake you, Kitten. Just couldn't resist touching you, that's all~" I smirked and tried lifting up the blankets, but he held on tightly.

"You never can.. that's how I ended up pregnant.." he whined, still hiding his face from me. 

I crawled to the edge of the bed, lifting up the blankets and sliding underneath until I was on top of Alan, yet he kept his eyes closed and the sheets stayed in place over both of our heads. 

"Your a jerk.." he huffed.

"Yeah, but you love me~" I whispered then leaned down and captured his lips in a slow but passionate kiss. My hand drifted to the bottom of the hoodie he was still wearing and pulled it up over his stomach before brushing my fingers lightly over his waist and hips. 

He buried his hands deep into my hair and opened his mouth allowing my tongue to glide over his. I brushed my hand over his warm stomach and moved higher to his chest. I could feel his ribs sticking out rather badly since Alan didn't really eat much, but that would soon be changing anyway. 

I broke the kiss only for a moment, so I could remove the hoodie he was wearing before returning my attention back to Alan. However he stopped me by pressing his hand against my chest, "We should probably stop here, because the guys will be here soon and we have a lot of things to do before they get here" 

"Is sex one of those things?" I asked, raising my eyes brows, giving a smirk.

"No" he answer, crossing his arms, trying to give me a serious look, but failing.

"Damn.. Later then?" I asked as I brushed my finger lightly over his jawline. 

He gave me a simple nod as a reply before I received a kiss on the cheek, "I'm going to take a shower" he told me before pulling the blankets off of us and jumped out of bed, walking straight to the bathroom.

I decided I should probably shave before tonight or I'll end up with a beard in no time. I swung my legs out of bed and headed towards the bathroom to grab my razor. 

As I stepped into the bathroom, I couldn't resist glancing over to glass doored shower where my boyfriend was. He was stood under the water, rubbing shampoo into his hair. I'd seen Alan naked dozens of times but he actually looked skinnier than before. But that can't be right? I guess a few months in he'll gain some weight when cravings set in. 

I used the mirror to shave in while waiting for Alan to step out of the shower. I would have joined him, but I'm pretty sure it would lead to more than just standing there and I don't think he wants that right now.

Just as I was about to leave the bathroom, I heard the water in the shower turn off and Alan stepped out, wrapping a towel around his hips  then tied his hair back in a small ponytail. 

"Why are you so handsome, Mr Ashby~?" I whispered, wrapping my arms around him while looking into his soft brown eyes.

"Shut up.." he laughed and shook his head before he leaned in to kiss me. However this moment was short lived as my phone started ringing in the bedroom.

"Wait here, baby" I told him before rushing out of the room.






Alan POV-


I watched Austin leave before checking my hair in the mirror and brushing back any loose strands that may have been sticking out of place. A few years ago and especially when I was in school, I hated having ginger hair and it was the reason for why I got bullied so often and beaten up. But ever since I met Austin, he's made me feel good about myself and made me learn to love my hair colour. I couldn't be more grateful to have him in my life.

Suddenly the door opened again which frightened the shit out of me since I wasn't expecting it. Austin was stood there, rubbing his neck and looked to be in pain, "Is everything okay?" I asked, placing my hand on his cheek.  

"I don't feel too good right now, I'm probably gonna try to get some more sleep. If you need me for anything though, just wake me up and I'll help you" he whispered then kissed my forehead before disappearing back into the bedroom.

After I'd washed my face and brushed my teeth, I grabbed some clothes from the closet, being as quiet as I could so I wouldn't wake Austin. Maybe he's getting sick or something, I really hope that's not the case though. If he does have a flu or something then I can't be near him just in case I catch it too. This sucks.. I hope he feels better later. 

Austin will still be my New Years kiss though, whether he likes it or not!
