19 👀 vibes say lashton but follow ur heart

i accept ur vibes as long as you accept that i wrote this fic to the song disconnected by 5sos because ive wanted to write a disconnected lashton fic forever i literally had an awakening tonight about that song like THE LYRICS!! THE IMAGERY!!! goddd anyway so here it is

The rain wakes Ashton at seven in the morning, but the phone buzzing on the bedside table is what rouses Luke.

Eyes fluttering open, he groggily says, “Hm. Whosat. What.”

Ashton chuckles. “Your phone’s ringing.”

“Why,” Luke says, in a tone bordering on threatening, as he reaches blindly for it. “Hello?”

Ashton hears the shouted Happy birthday! even with the phone pressed to Luke’s ear.

“I fucking hate you guys,” Luke growls. “It is seven in the morning. And my birthday’s not ‘til tomorrow, you assholes.”

Ashton hears Ben says Oh, shit, forgot you’re on a different day. It’s midnight here.

“Well, call me when it’s midnight here,” Luke says wearily. “That’ll be five o’clock tonight, for you. No, I’m going back to fucking sleep. Okay. Bye.”

Ashton grins as Luke hangs up the phone and tosses it aside. “Fucking idiots,” he mumbles into his pillow. He rolls over until he’s flush against Ashton, yawns, and says, “Wake me up in a hundred hours.”

“A hundred, really,” Ashton says. “That’s kind of a lot.”

“A hundred,” Luke repeats firmly, grabbing Ashton’s arm and cuddling it to his chest like a stuffed animal. Ashton can’t think of a single reason to get out of bed, so he, too, closes his eyes and dozes off.

It feels like only a few minutes have passed before Ashton jolts awake again, this time to the sound of Luke’s phone once again vibrating on the table. Luke makes a muttered noise that sounds like if that’s Ben and Jack I swear to fucking god before answering it, this time on speaker phone. “Hello?”

“Luke, love! Happy birthday, sweetheart!” It’s Luke’s gran. Ashton tucks his face into the back of Luke’s neck to hide a snicker. “How old are you now? Twenty-nine? Forty-three?”

“I’m still twenty-one at the minute, gran,” Luke says tiredly. “It’s actually only the fifteenth here still. I’m in LA, remember?”

“Oh!” Evidently, Luke’s gran did not remember this. “Oh, Lukey, I’m so sorry! What time is it for you?”

Luke sighs. “Seven in the morning. Don’t worry about it,” he adds, as his gran starts babbling apologies, “it’s fine, really. I can just call you back tomorrow, how’s that?”

“Yes, yes, that would be amazing,” Luke’s gran says. “I hope I didn’t wake you!”

Ashton giggles. “You didn’t,” Luke says unconvincingly. “I’ll call you tomorrow, gran. Love you.”

“Love you, Lukey!”

The line goes silent. Luke groans and tilts his head to look at Ashton. “Time zones are going to be the death of me one day,” he says matter-of-factly.

Ashton grins down at him. “And what a way to go.”

“Shut up.” Luke licks Ashton’s hostage forearm in bizarre retaliation, so Ashton licks his neck in return, but Luke doesn’t even react. His breathing evens out; he’s already asleep again.

Ashton doesn’t have time to fall asleep again. As soon as he thinks it, Luke’s phone goes off yet again, and Luke’s eyes fly open. “Who. The fuck. Could that possibly be.”

“Don’t answer it,” Ashton coaxes, but Luke is already reaching for it. “Luke, just ignore it, it’ll go to voicemail, it’s —”

“Hello.”

“Luke! Ben and Jack told us now’s a good time to ring you to say happy birthday!”

Luke’s face screws up hilariously, and Ashton whispers, “Hang up on them.”

“Hi, mum, dad,” Luke says instead, weakly. “Yeah, that’s because Ben and Jack are the worst brothers in the world.”

“Luke,” Liz admonishes. “Why? Is now a bad time?”

Luke sighs. “It’s just early. And, like, not my birthday yet.”

Ashton tugs Luke closer with the arm Luke is holding hostage and kisses the nape of his neck; Luke shudders and tries to shoot him a stop-that look, which only encourages Ashton. “Hang up,” he whispers again.

Luke ignores him.

“Not your birthday yet? What — oh, are you a day behind? I always forget about the day, it’s such a big time difference but I always forget.”

Ashton kisses Luke’s shoulder, shifts away so that Luke slumps onto his back on the bed, and with Luke steadfastly trying to ignore him, he presses kisses to Luke’s jaw, his ear, his cheek, his temple, anywhere within reach. “You can just hang up, you know,” Ashton breathes into Luke’s ear.

Luke shivers and gives him a quelling look, but it’s too late. “Is that someone there? Ashton?”

Ashton grins broadly, kisses Luke’s nose, and says, “Hey, Andrew, Liz.”

“Ashton, hello!”

“Yeah, it’s lovely to speak with you but it’s actually very early here,” Ashton says lightly.

“It’s fine, we can talk —” Luke interjects.

“No, actually, sorry, but Luke’s really tired and he’s dying to go back to sleep. He’ll call you back tomorrow, is that alright?”

“Of course it’s alright,” Liz says.

“We didn’t mean to wake you, kid,” Andrew adds. “Go back to sleep, for Christ’s sake. Call us when you can.”

“Sending you loads of kisses and such,” Liz adds. “You too, Ashton.”

“Thanks,” Ashton says, smirking at Luke, who sighs helplessly.

“Bye mum, bye dad, sorry —”

“No, don’t be sorry, it’s us who should be sorry. Love you, Luke. Get some sleep.”

And the line cuts out.

Luke fixes Ashton with a glare. “You’re the worst.”

“I did you a favor,” Ashton insists. “And now I’m doing you another.” He snatches Luke’s phone and turns on do not disturb before handing it back. “Time for calls is later. Come on. Just be with me now.”

“I can’t just —”

“Luke, it’s seven in the morning,” Ashton says gently, shuffling forward until there’s no space between them, just the warmth of their skin pressed against each other. “And I’m pretty sure the law states that you get to be mine until at least ten.”

“There’s no law about that,” Luke argues half-heartedly.

Ashton leans in and captures Luke in a soft kiss, a slow, languid kind that belongs to mornings where rain splatters against the windows, mornings like these. Luke makes a soft sound of contentment as they part, and it brushes up against Ashton’s heart like a breeze.

“Stop being contrary,” he murmurs. “No phone calls. Go back to sleep.”

“Mm,” Luke says. “Okay. But only ‘cause you’re my super hot boyfriend who’s holding me against my will.”

“I’m pretty sure you’re holding me against my will,” Ashton says, indicating the arm that Luke still has a grip on, “but I’ll take the super hot part.”

“Stockholm syndrome,” Luke yawns. He turns over so his face is buried in Ashton’s chest. “Goodnight, Ash. Or morning, or whatever.”

“Goodnight,” Ashton says, wrapping Luke up in his arms and pulling the covers back over them. The rain dances against the bedroom window and Luke’s phone stays blissfully silent on the bedside table, and Ashton slowly drifts off to sleep, disconnected from everything and everyone but Luke, if only for a moment.

My Reaction to “The Shape of Water”

Hoooo... my body is ready....

*scats along with the FOX theme*

“A Double Dare You Production.” Del Toro created a slight breach of ettiquette by skipping the single dare and going right for the throat!

Oh this music is so pretty!

That’s it. I’m downloading the OST like right now

“A Guillermo Del Toro film” Wooooo!!

They made this movie with only a $19.5 million budget and holy crap it looks amazing

DOUG JONES!!!

I would love to live in Eliza’s apartment, oh my gosh...

WAIT, IS THAT “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS” ?!?

OK, there’s a timer... oh my Gooodd no way...

I mean, at least they address it in not a negative manner. You do you.

DO YOU EVER JUST DIE INSIDE AFTER SAYING A THING?!?

“Time is but a flowing river to our past.”

I like how roomy and kinda cozy Eliza’s apartment is.

The dude [Giles] has two different sets of glasses...

Shirley Temple!

*Eliza starts tap-dancing in the hall* Oh my gosh I love this movie already

Boy, there is only one “s” in “Mardi Gras.” Do you not know French?

I love how much green there is in this movie.

These sets are great

This movie just used the term “What in the Sam Hill.” That’s awesome.

Michael Shannon!

*in best Zod voice* I WILL FIND HIM!

Did they use whale noises for the Asset?

All the old cars! All of them!

Wait, is the Richard Jenkins character crushing on the cashier at the pie place? Oh my gosh, that’s cute.

What’s so wrong with the key lime pie? Personally, I don’t like pie myself but was there a reason it kinda looked off?

Ginger Rogers?

That horse suit looks horrifying

The colors in this movie are great. I love when movies are color-coordinated.

It’s like del Toro’s been reading my movie wish list.

That’s an odd looking soap dispenser.

Why is Strickland peeing right in front of them?

“A man washes his hands before or after tending to his needs. That tells you a lot about that man. He does it both times? Points to a weakness of character.” That’s some insane troll logic

“Short people are mean.” To quote my sister “Well we are closer to Satan”

Is that... Strickland...

WHAAAA DID HE LOSE HIS FINGERS?!?!?

Oh my God, there’s so much blood!

ARE THOSE FINGERS?!?!? OH MY GODDDDDD

AAAAAHHHH!!!

If everyone’s being so secretive about the Asset, why did they leave him in a tank out in the open for Eliza and Octavia to see?

“It’s not bad, isn’t it, for being shit.” LITERALLY MY MENTALITY WHEN IT COMES TO DOING ART

THIS MOVIE IS SPEAKING TO MY SOUL OH MY GOD

“That’s the future now: green.” Soylent Green?

The prosthetics on @actordougjones look freaking awesome

Did the Asset just fold some of its fins back to look more human to Eliza?

*signs along with Eliza when she says she’s cleaning*

DID THEY SEW HIS FINGERS BACK ONTO HIS HAND?!?!? OH MY GOD NO WHY?!?!?

“All those scars on your neck...” They look like gills...

Michael Shannon’s American accent is actually really good, I gotta say.

*The Asset signs “egg”* Oh my gosh.... :D

Oh my gosh, all the yellow!

Everyone in Strickland’s family is super gravitated toward Strickland and it’s super uncomfortable

Noooooo....... NOOOOOOOOOOO.....

Oh thank God, the scene’s over

Aaahh, he [the Asset] just said hello!

They’re eating lunch together... this is unbelievably cute...

*uncontrollable smiling*

Oooohhh wipe transition!

Wait, is that Russian?

Yellow! Yellow again!

Why are the Russians interested in the Asset?

So is Eliza always late to her job because she has to spend time with Rosie Palms? Now that’s commitment.

Shoot, the egg!

Oh crap, it’s Strickland!

*flinches when the Asset gets electrocuted*

Wait, so the Americans want to use the Asset to win the Space Race against the Russians?

Why do I recognize the guy who plays General Hoyt?

Oh, Dmitri....

I really gotta applaud Sally Hawkins here. She’s freaking fantastic in this movie.

“When he looks at me, he doesn’t know what I lack... or how I am incomplete. He just sees me for what I am, as I am. And he is happy to see me, every time.” That bit of dialogue is amazing.

Oh crap, it’s not key lime pie. Something’s up.

Oh, the cashier’s both a racist and a homophobe. He no good to anybody.

Oh, that’s a nice Cadillac...

I like how they made all the cars look super shiny in this movie

*jams out to “Chica Chica Boom Chic”*

Are those pain pills?

“I [Strickland] keep thinking about you [Eliza].” EEUUUGGGHHH NOO!!

God, what a despicable character [Strickland]

There’s a poster that says “Loose Lips Might Sink Ships” in the locker room

Strickland’s reading a book called “The Power of Positive Thinking”

Is Dmitri gonna help them out? Yay!

Richard Jenkins freaking out over the Asset is totally me

Ahhhh, not the Cadillac!

The dude at the Cadillac dealership called Strickland a “man of the future” and his Cadillac- the sign of the future- was just destroyed. I see what you did there, del Toro.

It’s probably just me, but I can tell it’s definitely Doug Jones in the fish suit.

He just has these really meticulous hand movements and the way he kinda tilts his head to look at things is also a give away

Aaawwww, she got him [the Asset] a card!!!!

What does “MP” stand for?

I like that all the drawings of the Asset are done in charcoal when all of Richard Jenkins’ other art pieces are done in color.

How come no one is commenting on how smelly Strickland’s hands at this point? They sewed the dude’s fingers back on and they already establish that his hygiene isn’t stellar so shouldn’t he be suffering necrosis there already?

SHE TOLD HIM “EFF YOU” IN ASL! I AM LIVING!

*The Asset finds Giles’ charcoal drawings of him* That’s it. You convinced me, movie. I gotta do some art for this.

Is that Mr. Ed?

Yes. Yes it is.

DON’T EAT THE CAT! DON’T EAT THE CAT!

HE ATE THE CAAAT!!!

Crap crap craaaaaappp!!

Wait, the dude that plays Dmitri is also in Doctor Strange!

That movie’s gotta be “The Ten Commandments”

Oh this whistling music!

HE’S PLAYING WITH THE CATS! OH MY GOD!

LET HIM PLAY WITH THE KITTIES!

What? He’s glow in the dark?

What is he [Strickland] eating?

Oh my God is this it?

OH THEY CUT?!?

“Why you [Eliza] smiling, hon?” Cause she went and got it

*Eliza tells Zelda that the Asset has a junk* AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

OH MY GOD I’M SCREAMING!

ZELDA’S FACE OH MY GOD!

Ooh, is that marble cake?

Let the man enjoy his cake!

Is that Gilligan’s Island? Nope, nevermind.

YELLOW!

*Strickland tries sniffing his fingers* OHHHH, WHO CALLED THE NECROSIS?!?

That’s right, me about fifteen bullet points ago!

AAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!

Noooo they’re flooding the bathroom to do it!

They’re gonna be flooding the theater below!

Oh snap, he [Giles] has hair!

They gonna do it underwater?!?

BOY [Giles] NO DON’T GO IN THERE!

Close the door! Thank you!

It’s raining....

Strickland’s secretary must be putting up with the mightiest of bullshits from him

This movie really likes to foreshadow Strickland dying at the end of this movie

YO HIS [Strickland’s] FINGERS ARE BLACK! YOU ARE NOT IN A GOOD SITUATION, DUDE!

Why did they sew his fingers back on in the first place?!?

“Life is but the shipwreck of our plans.”

Awwww, he [the Asset] smiled at her!

TELL HIM [the Asset] YOU [Eliza] LOVE HIM!

*jaw utterly drops during the dream dance sequence*

Please tell me somewhere in the production notes, they said “OK Doug, you gotta be able to dance in the fish suit. Now go!”

My sister: Definitely an improvement on *in best Guillermo del Toro voice* “‘Happy birthday, Doug! We’re gonna string you up by your balls!’“

*claps hands after every word* THAT IS HOW YOU DREAM SEQUENCE!!

Uggghhhh, that was so good!

PUT HIM [the Asset] BACK IN THE WATER!

The sound design for this movie is really good too. Like holy crap.

*imitates Michael Shannon saying “Shut up”*

*beat boxes to the windshield wipers*

Wait, did they [the Russian agents] just shoot Dmitri?!?

*Strickland comes to the rescue strangely* Oh wow, OK.. oh my Goddd!

*Strickland sticks his finger through the bullet wound in Dmitri’s cheek* AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!

OK, Michael Shannon needs to play villains like this. Pronto.

*actually screams* OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDD!

Did he [Strickland] just leave his fingers on the floor of Zelda’s house?!?

*Giles and the Asset say goodbye* Aaawww....

*You and me together* Ohhhhhh my Goddd!!!

*Strickland shoots Eliza* NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Boy [the Asset], get back up!

Whoooo, go Giles!

Whaaaaattt?!?!?

*The Asset slits Strickland’s throat* Whoooooooo!!!!

Oh, wait, this is the scene with the shot!

[The Asset kisses Eliza] *softly* Damn....

Oh my gosh, that hug!

[slowly melts to the floor] *softly, with feeling* That was such a good movie!
