Hey! I decided I should do a book of one of those Auslly one-shot thingy like this. I'll write a one-shot at every holiday, like Halloween, Christmas, New Year, etc. This one is for Halloween. Speaking of... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Here's a question for you: What's your costumes, this year? Mine's a nerd! :P
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally, or anything else you might recognize in this story.
Warning: Fluff. This book of one-shot will be fluffy.
Enjoy! :)
"Hey, Alls!" Austin greets his best friend/song-writer/crush-that-no-one-except-Dez-kn ows-about. Long title, huh? Dez calls her Austin's bfswctnoedka. And before you ask, yes, he does remember it all. Don't ask. It's Dez.
"Hey, Austin." Ally greets back her best friend/crush-that-no-one-except-Trish-knows-about. Long title too, but it works. Trish calls him Ally's bfc. Much easier to remember for a lazy girl like Trish.
"Are you busy, tonight?" He asks her, sitting on the counter of Ally's dad's music store, Sonic Boom.
"First, get off the counter. Two, no, why?"
Austin sighs and gets off the counter before smiling. "I'm taking you to a haunted house! My cousin built it. He builts a new one every year. It's awesome!"
"Umm... I don't know, Austin. I'm not a big fan of haunted houses."
"Come on! I'll be right by you the whole time!" Austin assures her.
She bites her lip, something that Austin finds adorable. "Pinky promise?"
Some people may think Ally's a goody two shoes who doesn't like to have fun and is all serious, but they're wrong. As Austin got to know Ally, he realized she was a childish, insecure girl who was just looking for someone to protect her, which she found when she met Austin.
He nods. "Promise." He says, wrapping his pinky around hers. They both try to ignore the spark that runs up to their arm as they do so, but neither of them successes. "I'll pick you up at eight."
"A-Alright." Ally says shakily, hoping the night would be over as soon as possible.
As Austin and Ally walk in the house, they're greeted by a loud shriek coming from further in the haunted house, making Ally jump.
"Don't worry. It's just a house with a bunch of decorations and sound effects. My cousin probably hired some people to scare us, but that's it. Only people in costumes. They won't do anything bad to you." Austin softly assures Ally.
She takes a deep breath. "I can't do this, Austin. This scares me like hell."
"Ally, please! Stay with me. It won't be as fun alone." Seeing Ally's still hesitating, Austin decides to go with plan B. "Here, hold my hand. I'll be right beside you the whole time."
Ally hesitates a bit before carefully slipping her hand in Austin's, trying to ignore the sparks. Once again, big failure.
"Come on, let's go." Austin tugs on Ally's hand and they slowly begin to walk. "See? Nothing's wr-" He gets cut off by a guy in a monster costume comes out of nowhere, making Ally scream at the top of her lungs. She grips on Austin's arm. "Ally, it's fine! Just like I said. It's only a guy in a costume." Austin assures her, trying to hide the blush appearing on his cheeks. Success. Thank god for the darkness.
"Got it. Just a guy in a costume." Ally repeats shakily, trying to reassure herself.
"Exactly. Come on."
They walk a bit further, and by the end, three guys came out of nowhere, four fake spiders jumped on their heads, and a fake knife almost hit Austin's hand. All of those making Ally freak out.
"Ally, calm down. It's over. Come on, I'll walk you home." Austin tells Ally softly, hugging her for comfort.
"Can we just call my dad? I-I don't feel like walking home in the dark."
"Come on, I'll be with you the whole time. Don't worry."
"A-Alright." She weakly gives in. Austin smiles and (tries to) casually put his arm around her shoulder. Just to comfort her. Nothing more. Sure, Austin. Keep telling yourself that. "A-Austin?"
"What's up?"
"I-I saw something move!" She says, pointing ahead.
"Ally, we're on the sidewalk, on Halloween night. Of course you'll see something move! All the kids are outside, trick-or-treating!"
"Oh... R-Right..."
"Don't worry. I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you. Not now, nor ever in life."
"Thanks, Austin."
"No problem. I'll always be your knight in shining armour." He jokes, giving her a small nudge.
"Or maybe more like my singer with a shining microphone." She jokes back.
He nods. "Definitely."
As they walk in Ally's driveway, Austin sighs. Another night where he won't have confessed his love for his best friend.
"Thanks, Austin."
"For what?"
"Not leaving me alone."
"Ally, I'd never leave you alone. I'll always be by your side. Now and forever. We're better together, aren't we?" Austin tells her, quoting one of their songs.
She nods. "You're right. But thanks anyway." She says and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight." She tells him and quickly gets in her house.
As Austin comes back to his sense, he realizes what she just did. Does that count as a kiss?
Not spending another thought about it, Austin runs up to Ally's porch and knocks on the door.
Probably some kids trick-or-treating, Ally thinks and opens the door, getting confused to see Austin standing on her porch.
"Austin, what are you-?"
"Ally, I just wanted to say that I... That I..." Alright. Austin has never been good with words. And the pressure and fear of getting rejected doesn't help at all.
He catches Ally's confused stare and sighs. Now or never, He thinks and leans in, crashing his lips against hers. Now, it's Ally's turn to freeze. Not that she didn't like it, but it was Austin. Her best friend, who she thought would never feel the same way about her.
Austin pulls away as he notices Ally freeze. "I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have-"
"No! Erm, I mean. I was just taken by surprise. I mean... Huh?!"
He chuckles. "I like you, Ally. More than anything. I'm tired of being your best friend, 'cause I want to be more. Will you let me?"
"Is that your way of asking me out?" She teases him.
He shrugs. "Only if you want to. If not, then it's not."
She gets on her tip-toes and pulls his face down ('cause even on her tiptoes, Austin's still taller than her), capturing his lips in their second kiss, tonight.
"I'll take that as a yes." He says, chuckling.
"Definitely a yes." She nods, smiling.
"Well, I gotta go. Happy Halloween."
"Happy Halloween. I'll see you tomorrow?"
He nods. "Yup. Good night."
"Good night."
Ally closes the door after him and sighs happily. Maybe Halloween wasn't so bad, after all.
Done!
Please review and tell me what you think! And don't forget to tell me what's your costume! I want to know!
Well, I'll see you on Christmas (that's the next holiday, right? I think so)!
Until next time,
R5AAFan :)
