Hello :) So this is another Auslly songfic from Austin's POV to "Hero" by Sterling Knight as requested by AusllyRaura88! Hope you guys like it & I'm still taking song requests for more Auslly songfics. They're seriously my OTP so I don't think I could ever write a fanfic about anything else, haha.

I'm no superman

I can't take your hand

And fly you anywhere

You want to go (yeah)

"Austin, all I'm trying to say is I'm getting fed up with you being late all the time. I know, I know there was a group of cheerleaders on your way here or there are new pancake flavours at The Pancake Hut, but for once can't you realize that I'm sitting here waiting on you?" The disappointed brunette stared at me with her wide brown eyes.

I hated letting Ally down, but you can't blame me for being a teenage boy. I know that's no excuse, but sometimes I feel like Ally expects so much from me. It's not like I can teleport to get places faster, but that would be so cool. Or maybe I can learn to fly, that would be sick..

I saw hands flailing in front of my face. "Austin, are you even listening to me?"

"Yeah, sorry. Just got distracted," I smiled apologetically.

She shook her head and stomped away from me. She made her way up the stairs towards the practice room in Sonic Boom.

Ally seemed distant today. Usually she can shrug it off when I'm late, but today felt different. Knowing that she was truly upset with me changed my mood drastically.

I can't read your mind

Like a billboard sign

And tell you everything

You want to hear, but

I'll be your hero

I followed her up the stairs after a minute. I shut the door behind me and noticed Ally slumped over the piano. Now I knew something was definitely wrong.

"Ally, what's wrong?" I asked as I slid onto the piano bench to be beside her.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just tired," She lied.

"Ally, I'm really sorry for being late. I know I say that all the time, but I don't want to see you this upset, so I promise I'll never be late ever again. No amount of cheerleaders or pancakes will stop me from being on time because it's not worth it if it brings you sadness." I stared at her hoping she would lift her head and return my gaze.

She lifted her head and smiled at me. "You really mean that?"

I nodded, smiling back.

"Thanks Austin, you're such a good friend." She gave me a hug and I squeezed her tightly, not accepting her choice of the word "friend". I inhaled her mesmerizing sweet, floral scent before we let go of each other.

"But, don't worry. You're not why I'm upset." Sadness flooded through me. I'd rather Ally be upset over something I've done so I can do whatever I can to make it up to her, but knowing that what's making her sad is something I can't control agonizes me.

"Then what's wrong? You can tell me." I looked her straight in the eye.

"It's really stupid," she said looking away from me.

"Don't make me guess. I'm not good at that game!" I complained.

She sighed. "Well you know how I love romance? It just breaks my heart that nothing ever happens like in the movies. I was in the food court a few hours ago and this really sweet boy asked this girl to go to prom with him. He was wearing a nice tux, had a bouquet of red roses, and he even had her name spelt out in the sky with "will you go to prom with me?", except I think the pilot messed up her name and spelt Koala instead of Karla." She raised an eyebrow as she thought of the mix up. "But yeah, after all of his hard, and not to mention expensive, effort, she turned him down straight up. I had to walk over to him and comfort him. If I were her, I would've accepted in a heart beat. Oh and then I saw her accept this football player's invitation to prom and all her did was tell her she was a hot, sexy mama..? I just don't get it."

I really didn't know how to respond to her story, so thankfully she went on.

"I know it's not the time for Ally's little pity party, but just once I want a guy to sweep me off my feet, you know? Oh well, you wouldn't know 'cause you're a guy, why am I even talk about this with you haha." She smiled thinking about how silly she was being.

"Ally, you're awesome! I think it's crazy that you don't have a line up of guys wanting to be with you." I stared into her eyes, meaning every word I said.

"Thanks Austin, that means a lot. Thanks for trying to make me feel better." She smiled at me.

I guess that wasn't enough to cheer her up. I would do anything for this girl, but there are only so many things I can do compared to the number of things I wish I could do, like ask her out, hold her hand, and kiss her.

I, I can be everything you need

If you're the one for me

Like gravity I'll be unstoppable

I, yeah, I believe in destiny

I may be an ordinary guy

With heart and soul

But if you're the one for me

I'll be your hero

(If you'll be the one)

I'll be your hero

(If you'll be the one)

I'll be your hero

I've seen Ally observe couples all the time. Some days she'll smile so wide when she finds extremely happy couples, she even congratulates them sometimes. Other days, she'll have this sad look in her eyes that she thinks I don't notice. As much as she likes to believe she's a realist, I know Ally believes in the big fairytale. She may not want a big wedding or anything fancy, but I know she's waiting to be taken away. Even though we're only sixteen, it's a dream most girls have I think?

We began working on a song, but I can tell Ally just wasn't in the mood to write anything upbeat and to my liking.

"I'm sorry Austin, maybe we can dance it out like last time?" She was trying really hard to get herself in the right state of mind.

"Ally, it's okay. We can always work on the song another day. We still have another week until the Valentines Day festival."

She nodded and got up to sit in her chair, the one she usually sits in when she listens to other peoples problems.

We sat in silence for a bit before Ally spoke. "Why don't you have a girlfriend? Maybe it's none of my business, but I find it impossible that Austin Moon is single."

"Why is that so hard to believe?" I asked confused.

"Because you're Austin Moon! You can have any girl you wanted to. I know one of those cheerleaders would die if they were your girlfriend."

I just shrugged. I wish I could tell Ally that I didn't want to be with a cheerleader, or a supermodel, or an actress, or whoever else. I just wanted to be with her, but I know she doesn't feel that way.

Sometimes I just wish I could be the guy for her. Her last crush, Dallas, liked her back, but he never did anything about it. If I were him, I would've given Ally the world. Right now, I feel like I've been permanently friend zoned, and it's a really hard thing to accept.

"Hey guys!" Trish, my manager and Ally's best friend, walked through the door of the practice room with my best friend, Dez, behind her.

"Hey Trish, what's up?" Ally asked.

"Well, I've got some potentially good news. There's going to be a kissing booth at the Valentines Day festival and I signed Austin up for it. They're letting us charge more so we get to keep some of the profit, how cool is that?" Her smile didn't fail to show how excited she was about receiving money.

"Um, why can't Dez do it?" I asked anxiously.

"I thought you would've been excited. You know, there's probably going to be a long line of cheerleaders wanting to kiss you for five dollars each." Trish raised an eyebrow at me. "Plus, I don't think anyone would pay more than a penny to kiss Dez."

"Hey!" Dez exclaimed. "I'm at least worth a nickel!"

"Okay, I guess I'll do it." I said hesitantly.

"Perfect! Well I've got to go back to my job." That's when I noticed the short Latina wearing an outfit full of hearts with a fanny pack around her waist. I'm assuming she's selling tickets for the festival. I also noticed Dez wearing a similar outfit. I guess they're working the same job again, like when they worked at the fish and chip place.

Searching high and low

Trying every road

If I see your face

I'll barely know (yeah)

I'll put my trust in fate

That you will come my way

And if it's right

It's undeniable, yeah

I'll be your hero

It was the day of the festival. Ally and I finished writing the song a few days ago. It was an upbeat song with cool lyrics, some about love.

I was heading over to the kissing booth. Ally said she'd meet me there. She was in charge of collecting the money and giving me mints.

I spotted Ally at the booth because she was waving at me. I would've missed her because she was so petite, if she hadn't waved.

"Hey Austin! Are you ready for those cheerleaders?" She smiled. I bet she thought I felt like the luckiest teenage boy in the world, but she was wrong.

"I guess so."

I sat down on the chair next to Ally's and waited for people to come. I felt nervous that Ally would be seeing me kiss many different girls because I didn't want her to think I was enjoying this. I was just happy I was only doing this for an hour.

In the first 45 minutes, I kissed 25 girls. 12 were cheerleaders and the rest were normal girls from school. Some little girls with their parents came up to the booth, but only to pay to have pictures taken with me (thank God, that would've been weird).

In the last 10 minutes, I noticed this girl who had a big crush on me heading towards the booth. Her name was Maggie and she had a unibrow and was actually taller and bigger than me because she was on the wrestling team.

"Ally, Maggie's coming over here! What do I do?" My voice went into a higher pitch.

"Um.." Ally was thinking, but I could tell she couldn't think of anything.

I started panicking because Maggie was just a few steps away from the booth. Suddenly, I felt a hand pull my head down and lips crashing into mine.

This kiss lasted until we both ran out of breath.

"Wow." I heard Ally say as she and I stared at each other confused.

I saw Maggie was still standing there. "Sorry Maggie, I have to go perform now."

I glanced at Ally who was standing there with her fingers touching her lips before I made my way to the stage to perform. The butterflies I felt in my stomach should've been nerves from having to perform in front of an audience like any other person, but these butterflies were from Ally and how the kiss we shared would affect our friendship.

So incredible

Some kind of miracle

When it's meant to be

I'll be a hero

So I'll wait, wait

Wait, wait for you

I performed my new song and everybody loved it. I couldn't find Ally in the crowd, which made my stomach drop. I hope she wasn't regretting the kiss. Even if she never thought about me in that way ever before, there was definitely something there now.

I walked off the stage and smiled at all the people telling me I did a good job. I searched the whole festival for Ally, but no luck. She probably ran home.

I exited the festival because there was no longer a need for me there. I decided to walk by the mall and saw Ally sitting at the food court by herself. Everyone was at the festival, so the mall was like a ghost town.

I sat in the seat across from her. "Hey."

"Hey. Sorry I didn't stay to watch you perform," she said without looking up.

"Not a big deal."

"And I'm sorry for kissing you. I was trying to help you out and I guess that didn't really help either of us." She still didn't look up.

"Ally.. don't be sorry. That was the best kiss I've ever had," I told her honestly.

Ally looked up at me with her wide eyes conveying an emotion I've never seen before. As if what I said signaled a green light.

"I don't know why I didn't see it before. You're who I've been looking for."

All I've ever wanted was to be her knight in shining armour. The kind of guy you see in those movies, being all romantic and stuff.

"I've always been on the side lines. I didn't think you'd ever feel that way about me because you think I'm some shallow guy who only wants to date cheerleaders, but I'm not. I just wanted to make sure you were always happy though, even if you just wanted to be friends."

"I never thought you were shallow at all. I guess I just needed an eye opener to see what you really meant to me. No guy has ever been there for me, like you are." She smiled at me.

"And I want to keep being there for you, as a friend or possibly something more." I said giving her an option.

"I'm still getting used to this." She laughed a bit. "Let's take it slow?"

I nodded, smiled, and took her hand in mine over the table.

"Happy kind of first date Valentine's day, Princess Ally?" I said with a smile.

"Happy Valentine's day, Prince Austin."

She smiled the biggest smile I've seen her wear because of me. It was as if this was the big fairy tale ending she's fantasized about, even though the story was just beginning.

Fin. R&R :)
