Unexpected Attraction - Ch. 9

Unexpected Attraction - an Andley fanfiction - Chapter 9

*Ashley POV*

Andy had bathed me and made sure that I was so perfectly clean before dressing me in my warm, freshly washed pajamas. He had the most concerned look in his eyes the whole time he washed me and wiped the vomit from my face. Every time he apologized for causing me so much pain I told him the same thing; "You're here now, that's all that matters."
I curled up into my bed. "Come back and cuddle! You're still the big spoon!" I felt the bed dip in behind me just a moment before I felt Andy's smooth arms wrap around me. The rest of his body followed, pressing against the back of mine. His head rested in the crook of my neck, his breath flowing past my face.
I was close to falling asleep, but it was too quiet. "Sing for me, Batman." I wiggled against him to make sure that he was awake to hear me.
Andy laughed, almost in a bit of a giggle, "And what shall I sing for you, Outlaw?" He nuzzled closer into my neck.
"Sing me..... Beautiful Remains!" I hadn't heard it in so long, and it sounded so perfect when Andy sang it without screaming when he got bored.
"Shit, Ash. It's been so long.... Give me a minute to remember it." He chuckled a bit and began humming to himself. I could feel it against my shoulder, I could hear it right in my ear. The low sound of him humming and mumbling made me drift off a bit. His singing woke me back up.
"We gather here to sing for you, the words you've written..." He sang slowly and softly. It was so delicate coming from him, it's not something that can be explained easily. His voice on the records was like a true fallen angel, but when he was just relaxed and made mistakes it was like he was connected to me. Hearing him sing to me made it seem like everything was right and perfect.
Andy's voice began to trail off and get quieter when he finished the song. "Do you want another, Ashes?" I nodded in reply, knowing he could feel me move against his head.
He began to mumble again, trying to remember some of our old favorites. "I am the heartache, you built by your deception" He was singing me Heaven's Calling. That song seemed to mean more when he was close to me. "Sleep forever now my darling..." He was so soft and warm, I was in absolute bliss.
I could see Andy drifting into my sight, but he had long, black hair. I was already dreaming, but I could still hear him singing into my ear. Dream-Andy came closer to me and brought his lips to my ear. He began to sing with the real Andy behind me. Between songs, dream-Andy looked at me and sighed, "I love you." The feeling that spread through me was like nothing I'd ever felt before. I knew it wasn't really Andy saying it, the voice I heard was muddled, distorted by my slightly hungover mind.
I shifted a bit against him, getting closer (if it was even possible). I could hear myself in my dream tell him, "I love you too, Andy." It surprised me, but seeing his face in my dream smile at me and fill with such a great joy cleared that all away.

*Andy POV*

I kept singing to Ashley. It felt right, and I could see the smile on his face begin to slip away between songs. "I'll carry you, my darkest desire..." I had decided to sing from Wretched and Devine when I heard something really unexpected.
"I love you too, Andy." He was talking in his sleep, and he was dreaming about me. Ashley had just said out loud that he loved me! The feeling in my heart spread throughout my body, it was warm and tingly, it was happiness mixed with knowing that I felt the same way.
I leaned my head back just enough so my lips grazed his ear, "I love you, Ashes." It felt natural, but the butterflies in my stomach threatened to erupt from my throat in a fit of giggles. I rested my head back into the crook of his neck and sang to him.
"You'll always feel it's right, even when we end the fight...." I kept yawning every few lines. Ash was asleep but I wanted to sing to him as long as I could, I wanted to fill his dreams with my voice. I struggled to stay awake, but I kept going, "We live for the broken hearts, won't watch them fall apart..."

I didn't remember dozing off, but I did remember feeling an absence in front of me. Ashley had left the bed while I had been sleeping. I sat up and looked around the room. Everything looked normal. I slowly lifted myself from the bed, shocked at how tired I still was.
I pushed the bedroom door open, instantly smelling bacon and hearing the low sizzle. Peeking around the corner, I could see Ashley in the kitchen frying the bacon and dancing around. His hair had curled from being washed and slept on, it was adorable to see him relax like this.
I came out from around the corner and snuck up behind him. As silently as I could, I swung my arms around his torso as he danced away from the stove. "Fuck! Andy! You scared me, you doofus!" He started laughing and trying to pry my arms from around him.
I whispered in his ear, "I didn't know you talk in your sleep...." It came out seductive, causing him to stop struggling. I could feel his breathing pick up pace a bit as he thought about what I had said.
"What are you talking about? I don't do anything in my sleep. I make sure I'm awake for everything." He was flirting along with me, pressing himself against me. I pressed forward into him and breathed in the smell of his skin.
"'I love you too, Andy' is what I believe I heard come out of your mouth." I kissed his earlobe, making him shake as he realized what I knew. "The thing is.... I didn't remember telling you that I love you.... but I'm glad you know." I kissed his ear again.
Ashley pulled away from me just enough to turn and look at me, still in my arms. His eyes were filled with joy and confusion. "Wait... You love me?" I could hear the doubt in his voice. Knowing that he thought I could be lieing to him hurt, but I'd probably ask the same thing.
I rested my forehead against his. "I do. Dammit, Ashley Purdy, I really do love you. It's crazy and surprising, but it's right." I smiled to myself because every word poured out of me, it came right from the heart with almost no thought at all.
Ash looked up into my eyes more, searching for any sign of doubt or regret. His eyes got glossy with tears and a smile spread across his face. He flung his arms around my neck to pull his face close to mine. With our lips less than an inch apart, he stayed still for a moment. I readjusted my arms to wrap around his waist and I pulled our torsos closer together.
"Andy, I'm sorry for being so crazy and making you come out here to save my ass and pick up the pieces...." His head dropped a bit, allowing a few shimmering tears to fall straight to the floor.
I lifted his face with my hand to look into his eyes again. "You didn't make me do anything. I came because we needed each other. You were a wreck on the outside, but I was a wreck on the inside. Juliet helped me forget everything, but whenever we weren't by each other you came right back into my mind. I don't need a distraction right now, I need you." I kissed him tenderly, feeling Ashley relax in my arms.

*Ashley POV*

Andy flopped onto the couch with his plate of bacon, a big grin on his face. I had made sure to cook some extra crispy just for him, and I had Batman Forever on DVD ready to watch. After sleeping for almost 6 hours, it was late into the night. Juliet might be wondering what's going on, but I didn't think she would be freaking out and calling for him to come home.
I smiled at Andy as he bounced around in his seat, waiting for me to start the movie. "Jesus, Andy, keep your pants on!" I pressed the PLAY button on the remote and sat down next to him. I watched his face during the movie. His mouth hung open as he became completely enveloped in the story. Every few minutes he would lift a strip of bacon to his mouth and gobble it down, but he never looked down at the plate. I shifted closer to him when Poison Ivy tried to seduce Batman. Andy shifted closer to me and under my arm, wiggling into me like a kitten. He set his empty plate on the coffee table in front of him.
The thought had been on my mind all day, and I had the perfect idea; I could seduce my own Batman. I trailed my fingers up and down Andy's thigh, taking his focus off of the movie for just a moment as he looked over at me, partly in excitement, but mostly in annoyance. I let my hand travel farther upward towards his zipper, playing with the small metal piece.
"Ash! I'm watching Batman! Please, try to restrain yourself." His voice was a low whisper, it only made me want to be with him more. I pulled his zipper down to reveal that he was already getting a bit hard under my hand. In his haste to leave and get to me this afternoon, he hadn't even put on any kind of underwear. Andy groaned a bit when I slipped my fingers inside to coax him out to me. I brought my other hand around to unbutton his pants and give myself more room. The button easily popped free from it's slot and his arousal sprung forward for me.
My cock was throbbing in my pants, but I had to really get his attention before he would help me out. I opened my mouth and brought in his head, swirling my tongue around in small circles. A deep moan poured out of his chest while he pulsed in my mouth. His hips bucked slightly underneath me, pushing him further into me. I felt one hand slap down on my back and I heard the other hit the couch on the other side of Andy.
"Fuck.... Oh my...." His words trailed off as I brought him deeper into me and began to bob up and down. Andy's hand rushed from my back and tangled into my hair. He beckoned me to go faster by pressing my head down before I had come up all the way. I sped up to move in time with his wishes, earning moans and pleas for more.
"Ash.... Please...." Andy's voice was higher, he was close. "I wanna fuck you so bad..... ughh..." The way he said my name and what he wanted drove me crazy. I had never actually thought of trying to do that with him.
I laughed with him in my mouth, I tried to mumble around him, "Get me into the bedroom then, Andy." I kept going at the same speed when both of his hands pulled me off of him. Andy threw me back onto the couch and straddled on top of me, pulling his shirt off.
"Meet me there, Outlaw." He winked at me and strutted into my bedroom, wiggling out of his jeans on the way. I shook my head in disbelief. I was in shock, but I found myself following him and taking my shirt off in the doorway.
Andy stood at the window, naked. The moonlight shined eerily on his white skin, making me stop for a moment. He walked over to me and immediately took my mouth with his. I felt him yank down my pajama pants, and I wiggled my way out of them so we both stood naked together.
His arms wrapped around me, pulling me towards the bed. Andy turned me and pushed me down onto the bed so I layed on my back. He crawled overtop of me, making sure he was between my legs. He kissed me with a passion I'd never expected from him, his skin felt hot. We were both already sweating, and the anticipation was maddening.
