Disclaimer; I don't own anything from Austin and Ally, or the songs used.
A/N- Well, I'm in a very good mood so I read back over my story 'When In New York' and thought to myself, 'it won't hurt to do a one shot based a few years later will it?' So I came to the conclusion of 'nope, it won't.' So I hope you agree with me.
Here it is!
Austin's View
"That's the last box," I say placing what feels like the two hundredth box on the floor.
"Oh thank goodness, I'm exhausted!" My beautiful girlfriend says plopping herself down on the couch.
"Uh, excuse me? How many of these boxes did you carry in?" I say standing in front of her.
"You know you love me," she says cheekily, pulling me down to kiss her.
"Annoyingly I do."
"Well you know you could always just take my boxes back to the car and I can head home," she stands up, and I jump up after her.
"No, no, no, this is your home now." I say wrapping my arms around her waist, and she follows by wrapping hers around my neck.
"And I'm so happy it is," she says as we lean in.
"HEY!" A group of people shout walking into the room.
"Seriously? You weren't here to help with the boxes but you ARE here to stop me from kissing this beautiful girl?"
"That's what we're here for!" Elliot says with a smile.
I stare at them, trying to be angry, but I haven't seen them in nearly a year.
"COME HERE YOU GUYS!" I scream, and we all have a giant group hug, then split into separate ones.
"Hey Cass," I wrap my arms around her, "sorry, we would have picked you up on our way, but with all the boxes there was no room." I give her an apologetic smile.
"Don't worry, my boyfriend came and got me," she says as Elliot walks over.
"My ears are burning," he says and gives me a 'man hug'.
"Hey man. Cass was just saying how you went to pick her up. Boyfriend of two years now right?" I ask with a grin.
"Nearly, yeah," Elliot smiles as he wraps an arm around Cassidy's waist.
"Austin!" Trish says and hugs me as Cassidy and Elliot walk off to see the prettiest girl here.
"Trish! I've missed you," I say as we let go.
"Good," she says with a smile, as Dez walks over and holds her hand. Together nearly a year, they really were slow, it was so obvious they liked each other, and more so two years ago, they were all over each other, but even then it took them a year to admit it was official.
"Hey," we hug quickly. "Have you got it?"
"Yep," I say with a smile, he smiles back.
"Wait, got what? What am I missing?" Trish asks.
"Uh, Trish why don't you go say hi to my Ally?" I say with a smile.
"Fine, but I will find out."
"Yes, you will," I say she gives me a confused look, but walks off.
"So when you going to do it?" Dez whispers to me.
"I was thinking after we sing in the street tonight?"
He grins "sounds perfect." I smile and head over to everyone else.
"Can I get to my girlfriend please?" I ask and walk past everyone to get to Ally.
She wraps her arms around my waist as I stand to her side.
"I still can't believe that your parents are letting you live together!" Cassidy says.
"Yeah, well we've been together for almost 4 years, they didn't have much choice." Ally says, and I kiss he head.
"That and neither or our parents are home much so it doesn't really make a difference." I add in. "I'm just glad we get to live in my parents' house here, only now it is officially ours."
"Well we can go to the café now?" Elliot suggests, "to celebrate?"
"Oh, no, no, no," Ally says letting go of me. "Nope, you guys are going to help us unpack all of the boxes, and I do mean all. And only then will we go to the café." I love this girl. Everyone groans but picks a box and begins to unpack. Ally had placed labels as to what goes where on everything so it was all very simple. We went up to our room to unpack. Yep, our room, we always sleep in the same bed anyway so we decided this just made more sense.
"I can't believe we now own this house," She says as we unpack.
"Neither can I. I can't believe we are finally living in the same city as our friends!"
"It's all you've ever wanted isn't it? To live in New York I mean."
"All I ever wanted was to love someone so much, and for them to love me back. So we could live together, be surrounded by friends, and raise a family together." She gives me a questioning look. "Oh, no, not right now, I didn't mean-" She stopped me rambling by kissing me.
"That was a nice way to tell me to shut up." I say with a smile.
"I knew what you meant. That's all I want too, the kids bit a little later on…"
I laugh lightly with her, "yeah, couldn't agree more."
We finish unpacking and head downstairs, hand in hand. Everything is all unpacked downstairs, and Ally gasps.
"Please say it's how you want it?" Elliot says.
"We're exhausted!" Trish adds.
"It's perfect!" Ally says and hugs them all. I smile as I look around, there are little photo frames around the place of us and everyone here, some from here others from Miami. The first one I notice is the first picture we took together, in front of the Empire State Building. I smile at the picture, I was so clueless as to how much I would love this girl.
My mind wonders off to that day…
"Smile!" Ally says as we stand outside the Empire State Building.
"Ally!"
"What? Come on please," she says with her sweetest smile.
"Fine, will you at least let me be ready this time," I say, finally giving in. "Let's get someone else to take the picture," she began to protest but I'd already asked a woman to take it. "Excuse me? Hi, could you take a picture of me and-"
"and your friend? Of course, go pose," I nod.
At the time I had been grateful that someone knew me and Ally were just friends, but now I wonder if the woman was just as oblivious about it all as I was.
"Austin?" Ally asks walking back over to me. "You okay?"
"Uh, yeah, just zoned out for a minute."
She gave me a smile, "okay, well we're going to the café, you coming?"
"Of course. Do you even know your way there yet Ally?"
She blushes, "well you'd think after coming here every year I would…"
I laugh lightly, "you'll get used to it. Come on beautiful." She smiles and I wrap an arm over her shoulders as she wraps one around my waist.
At The Café
"I'm so glad we got that Café across the road to close." Dez says as we sit down.
"Yep, and because we managed to do that this place is constantly busy again," Trish says.
"And our table is literally always reserved for us," Ally says. I look at the table and see the little gold plate that had been drilled into it, 'RESERVED for the savers of the café. Please do not sit if you aren't one of them, you know who you are.' I smile.
"And you got me a job where I don't have to work days and nights every day," Trent says walking over.
"On your break I see?" I ask as he sits down with us.
"Nah, I'm finishing early, me and Brooke are going out."
"Still going strong I see?" Ally says with a smile drinking her hot chocolate.
"Yeah, well after our first few dates she said how she was moving away. And then when she turned up at my house a year and a half ago, I knew she was the one." The girls all make 'awhh' sounds and us guys just smile at him. "Well, I gotta get going. I'll see you around? When you going back?"
"Actually, we live here now, moved today."
"NO WAY!" He says and hugs us both, "I will definitely see you around then!" I nod and he runs off.
"So, did you tell Dallas?" Dez asks as we all drink.
"Yeah, about a year ago actually. I would have told him sooner, I felt slightly bad for him, but someone here wouldn't let me. She wanted a little bit of revenge."
"Don't make me sound horrible." She complains slightly and hits me playfully. "I was willing to let you tell him after a few months, but then I saw him beating up and old friend of mine and well that just put it off longer. Then I saw it again, and again, and so on."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Trish says.
"You never asked."
"Well what happened?"
I smile slightly. "Well when I told him, Kira happened to be in town, of course he didn't believe me so I went with him to see her. When he asked her about it she tried to lie, but the photos on her phone were kinda hard to deny…"
"She still had photos of you two?" Cassidy asks slightly out of disbelief.
"Yep, and she tried to get back with me right in front of Dallas, saying I was the best thing that happened to her. Dallas looked annoyed but hurt, I actually felt bad for him."
"What did you say to her?" Elliot asks.
"I said no, obviously," I swing an arm around Ally and kiss her on the cheek. "Well actually, I said, 'well thanks for being such a horrible person, otherwise I wouldn't have and amazingly hot and beautiful girlfriend waiting for me right now who I love more than anything and is the best thing to ever happen to me.' Then I walked out."
The boys end up high-fiving me, the girls smile and as I look to Ally she kisses me, I smile as we break away. 'I love you' she mouths to me, and I do the same back.
"As cute as this is, and it is. I wanna go sing, so lets go." Dez says and we grab our guitars and get up.
We walk to our usual spot, all hand in hand with the person we love, or like, I'm not entirely sure how far everyone is with that yet.
"Okay," Ally says as us guys get our guitars out. "What song we doing?"
"Well…I was wondering if I could to a song by myself first, but guys I could do with the harmonies…" I nod to Dez and he whispers the song to Elliot and immediately Elliot agrees. Well he's probably realised what I'm about to do.
The girls nod and walk to the side, preparing to watch.
I nod to the guys and we start.
"I'm like that boom box outside of your window
I'm that De Lorean blowing past 88
And where we're going girl
Won't be needing road cause
Oo oo oo oo
This ain't no 50 first dates
I'm talking 'bout starting out as friends
I'm talking 'bout read and not pretend
I'm talking 'bout roles of a life time
You and I can even write the end
Yeaaaaah
Here comes that movie scene
One you hate so cliché
That moment when we kissed
By the lake, pouring rain
I ain't no superman
But I can change your world
Oooooo
Here comes forever girl
Oooooo
Here comes forever
Oooooo
Here comes forever girl
This ain't no remake of a Romeo story
Ain't no werewolf trying to steal you away
I'll be your a-list, be the man on the moon 'cause
Oo oo oo oo
Me and you outta space
I'm talking 'bout starting out as friends
I'm talking 'bout read and not pretend
I'm talking 'bout roles of a life time
You and I can even write the end
Yeaaaaah
Here comes that movie scene
One you hate so cliché
That moment when we kissed
By the lake, pouring rain
I ain't no superman
But I can change your world
Oooooo
Here comes forever girl
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

Let's go home together
Play our roles forever
Let grow old together
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes forever, baby…
Here comes forever girl
Here comes that movie scene
One you hate so cliché
That moment when we kissed
By the lake, pouring rain
I ain't no superman
But I can change your world
Oooooo
Here comes forever girl
Oooooo
Here comes forever
Oooooo
Here comes forever girl
Here comes forever girl."
I wait for the girls to walk back to us. We seemed to have gathered quite a crowd while singing, but honestly, I only saw Ally.
She came over and hugged me, and we all stood in a big group. I took my guitar off and handed it to Dez, and he noded.
"Did you like the song?" I ask as I feel my pocket making sure it was still there, it is.
"Yeah, it was amazing, when did you write it?" She asks, oh she has no clue what I'm about to do.
"A few months ago…"
"Austin, are you okay?"
I smile, "there's something I want to do, or need to do…" She looks confused and I can only smile at that. It isn't often that I can confuse this very special girl, but when I do, I can't help but smile.
I take a deep breath.
"Ally, I pretty much ignored you before you came to New York, and looking back I have no idea why. I'm so glad you came to New York with my family for those three weeks all them years ago, even if I didn't know you were coming until we were leaving for this city. When I found out you played the piano and could sing, and I mean really sing, I felt I could trust you with showing you my music room in the basement. And considering this is the first these guys have heard of it, shows how special it is to me. I trusted you straight away and I had no clue why, not one, but now I do. It was because part of me knew I was going to fall for you and wanted to place everything there ready for our first kiss on the keyboard bench. You mean everything to me, I have no idea what I would do without you any more, I use to get by on my own, then you came along and turned my world upside down when I feel for you. Suddenly I wanted to protect you, I wanted to be good for you, I want to have you next to me at all times so if anyone wanted to hurt you I would be there to stop them. I'm truly in love with you Ally Dawson, and I know it has only been nearly four years but," I take a deep breath, dig the little box out of my pocket, got down on one knee, and opened it.
"Will you marry me?" A tear rolls down my cheek, gosh I'm too emotional at times.
She cries too, and nods her head crazily.
"Is that a yes?" I ask standing up, still crying.
"Yes, it's a yes you idiot!" she says before hugging me.
I take her hand and place the ring on her ring finger.
"Do you like it?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
"It's perfect!" She's still crying as she says that and I close the gap between us. Though we got interrupted after about a minute by some friends.
"OH MY GOD YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!" They all shout in unison and tackle us into hugs.
Among a load of 'oh my gods' and 'nicely done' and 'that was so cute' I heard Ally say 'I love you' and all I can do is smile.
"As happy as I am about all of this can we address this basement thing? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US!" Cassidy says. Ally and I laugh, and I roll my eyes, but drag Ally in front of me wrapping my arms around her and kissing her head.
Everyone is asking us all these things about the basement, and when I decided I wanted to marry her, but all I can see is my beautiful, soon to be Bride.
A/N- So…They're getting married! I guess it's up to the response I get on this as to if I actually do the wedding chapter or not… I don't mind either way.
But I really hope you enjoyed this, and I love you all! Literally all of you.
