I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
**Flashback**
Austin hated cloud watching. Hated it. But yet here he was, with Ally at her stupid cloud watching club meeting. Just there, sitting, bored out of his mind listening to their discussion about the proper technique to identify a cloud. In his opinion all clouds looked the same, it made no difference they were just big, white puffy things. They were all the same.
But he would never dare say that to Ally, at least not again. Last time she had spent hours telling him the different types of clouds informing him that there where stratus clouds, altostratus clouds, cirrus clouds, and cumulus clouds.
"Honestly Austin I don't understand how you can be so clueless sometimes." She had him told shaking her head.
"There are also different subtypes of clouds; there's stratocumulus, altocumulus, cumulonimbus…" Austin just tuned her out knowing that once she got started there was no stopping her.
"Oh, they're also found at different altitudes. Did you know that-?" Austin interrupted her before she could launch into the different altitudes at which clouds where found.
"Okay I get it Ally. Clouds are more than just a big, white, puffy thing." he conceded. "Happy?"
"Very! Now I have a cloud watching partner!" she said excitedly.
"Whoa! Slow down Ally, I never said I would go cloud watching with you let alone become your cloud watching partner." He exclaimed wondering where she got that crazy idea from.
"Please Austin. Pretty please." Ally begged giving Austin those doe-eyes. One look and he was a goner.
"Fine." He sighed, "But on one condition. You have to buy me pancakes after we cloud watch. Otherwise I'm not going." He negotiated needing something to make it more bearable.
Ally nodded knowing that pancakes were a must for Austin.
"Deal?" He asked stretching out his hand; Ally grasped it and shook it. "Deal."
Which brought him back to now, wasting his precious time for the sake of pancakes.
With nothing better to do he decided he might as well look like he cared. Lying flat on his back he stared at the clouds wondering why people were so fascinated with them. In his opinion they looked like marshmallows. Soft, chewy marshmallows. Come to think of it, that cloud kind of resembled a pancake; a warm, steamy, pancake with lots of syrup and butter. Great, now he was getting hungry. He continued to stare at the cloud wondering how a cloud pancake could look so good.
"Austin. Austin. Austin." He could faintly hear someone calling his name but looking at the cloud pancake he couldn't bring himself to care.
"Austin c'mon lets go get some pancakes." Now that quickly got his attention. Sitting up his head collided with someone else's. Rubbing his head he looked and saw that Ally was sitting on the ground massaging her forehead.
"Oh god. I'm so sorry Ally. I wasn't paying attention; I was too busy looking at the clouds that I spaced out, so then when you said pancakes it made me sit up quickly. But I didn't realize you were leaning over me. I'm so sorry." He rushed out apologizing profusely.
Ally just laughed at Austin. "It's okay Austin it was just an accident, plus I probably should have known better than to mention pancakes." Ally suddenly realized something, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you say you were cloud watching or did I just bump my head to hard?"
"Um, yeah. I guess I was cloud watching now that I think of it." He said scratching his head.
"I knew it." Ally squealed tackling Austin into a hug. "It was kind of a long shot but I knew you'd love cloud watching eventually."
Austin was shocked by the hug/tackle he received from the short girl. He hugged her back awkwardly, not really able to do anything else.
Ally suddenly became aware that she was straddling Austin's lap in the middle of a park surrounded by parents and children. But looking into his eyes she couldn't really bring herself to care. From this point I view she could see the little specks of gold that flickered in his whiskey colored eyes.
Austin cleared his throat, gaining Ally's attention again.
"I guess we should get going." He said trying to prevent the situation from getting awkward.
"Yeah." Ally replied quickly getting off of him. Offering him a hand up, Austin grasped her tiny hand in his large one, once he was up he let go of her hand but couldn't help but miss the warmth and comfort he had felt.
"Let's get you some pancakes." She said before heading towards the local diner.
Even though Ally had made a deal with Austin to by him pancakes he never let her pay, insisting that he had more money than he needed, and that since she was his songwriter half of it was hers anyways. Not wanting to argue she always let Austin pay knowing that he would just pout until she gave in. And she always did.
Hurrying to catch up with her Austin, marveled at how even after everything Ally managed to find time to do the things she loved.
**End Flashback**
Since then it had become a ritual. Ally no longer had to force him to go cloud watching with him he would go just for the sake of making Ally happy. Plus it actually helped him relax when he was stressed.
There was something about the idea that even though all clouds looked the same you would never again see that cloud in your lifetime that made him appreciate what he had and not take things for granted. The pancakes at the end where just an add bonus, and well, spending time with Ally was what made it all worth it.
