[clumsyclifford]

what time is it where you are?

pairings: luke hemmings/ashton irwin, michael clifford/calum hood rating: T word count: 27k important tags: established relationship, long-distance relationship, alternate universe - college/university, songfic, fluff & angst & humor, drinking

Everything is ready.

Luke has watched Ashton lose his head the last few months trying to get everything sorted — filling out forms, renewing his passport, applying for a visa, enrolling in courses — but there’s nothing left. They’re at the airport, Ashton decked out in luggage and dressed for a bitterly cold New York, and until he lands, there’s absolutely nothing more for him to do. The visa came through; his passport is in the clear; he has a fully-scheduled courseload and even a dorm room waiting for him at NYU.

Everything is ready for Ashton to leave. Everything except Luke.
