A/N Hey guys! I'm bursting back into unmarked territory once more. In this fic Ally and Austin aren't necessarily friends…more like semi mortal enemies….
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally
"Allygater! What are you doing for Movie Monday?" My friend Trish squealed in my ear Saturday night.
"I was just gunna go as an extra from a movie and wear my normal clothes." I answered twirling my hair.
"No."
"No?"
"No. Ally you never take Spirit Week seriously! This is your time to shine." She exclaimed. I could just see her throwing her hands in the air with every word.
"Trish you know I don't shine. I simply…blend." I said trying to be rational.
"Just this once Ally please? No one will laugh at you or anything like that."
"Trish even if I wanted to dress up, which for the record I'm not saying I am, I wouldn't be able to throw something together in one day."
"I can help with that! We can go shopping tomorrow and I can use my employee discount at Costume Closet!" She said getting excited.
"Trish you got fired from that job yesterday." I replied.
"I know that! But the manager doesn't." She said laughing.
The next day I met up with Trish outside of Miami Mall. She was literally bouncing with excitement as she hooked arms with me and began dragging me in the direction of the costume store.
"You know you still haven't told me who you're dressing me as." I said as I watched her shuffle through the racks of clothing.
"And you won't know until it's too late for you to protest." She replied fishing out a long sleeved green blouse. "Hold this."
Scrambling to grab the shirt I protested. "Trish you know green isn't my color!"
"Ally you know I don't care!" She answered throwing a long black jacket my way.
"You know I'm short why would you put me in something this long?" I asked.
"Short is an understatement. You're like a freaking midget." A familiar yet annoying voice spoke from behind me.
"Just cuz you're a freaky giant does NOT make me a midget, Moon." I answered turning around to glare up at the cocky blonde.
"Actually," He bent down to my level to whisper in my ear "It kind of does."
Involuntarily shivers ran down my back at the feel of his breath on my neck. Glaring once more at the smug look on his face I stalked off in search of Trish who had suddenly disappeared.
"Hey Dawson!" I turned to see Austin holding the jacket in his hands "I think you forgot something."
Stomping back I reached out to snatch it out of his hands. But the freaky giant held it high above my head!
"Austin give it back!" I shouted my voice wavering. I never particularly liked being short but now that he was using it against me I hated it even more.
"Give it back to her." Trish's menacing voice spoke from behind us.
"Bro give it back before she tears my ear off!" Austin's friend Dez said from where he was crouched on the floor next to Trish's feet.
With a grunt Austin tossed the jacket back my way.
"What are you supposed to be anyway?" He snarled in my direction. Someone didn't like being told what to do clearly.
"If I knew I'd tell you." I replied with the same amount of venom in my voice.
"C'mon Ally let's go check out." Trish said releasing Dez's red ear and dragging me to the checkout counter.
"Trish can you tell me what you're dressing me as? Seeing as how you've thrown the receipt into the fountain and I've suffered massive emotional trauma."
Instead of answering me she pulled out a pin from the bag.
"Perfect."
Ok Ally deep breaths. No one's staring at you. Just find Trish as soon as you can.
"Ally! Ally wait up!" I heard that same annoyingly familiar voice shouting behind me.
"What Moon!" I shouted annoyed.
"Geesh what crawled up your butt and died." He muttered.
"If that's all you have to say I really should get going." I said walking faster.
"No wait I was just wondering who you're dressed as today." He asked grabbing my arm and spinning me towards him.
"Is it not obvious?" I answered pointing to my sparkling Mockingjay pin.
"Oh it is, it's just well I'm kind of…" He trailed off scratching the back of his neck.
"You're kind of what Moon?" I snapped getting annoyed.
"You know my name's Austin right?"
"Avoiding the question Moon."
"Well if you're Katniss…Can I be your Peeta?" He asked super fast.
"I'm sorry?" I questioned not knowing if I heard right.
"Will you be my Katniss if I'm your Peeta?" He repeated slowly.
"Are you asking me out?" I asked confused.
"My god Ally! Yes I'm asking you out." He answered rubbing his temple.
"Why?"
He took a deep breath before speaking. "Ever since that day in the costume store I can't get you out of my head. Everything about you from how soft your hair looked, to how you smelled like strawberries, to how you shivered so delicately when I whispered in your ear. I realized that all these years of being annoyed by you I was in denial. Please Ally please just say yes." He begged grabbing my hands.
Slowly pulling my hands from his I brought his face closer down to fine. Taking a deep breath I whispered the one word that would change everything.
"Yes."
