“Uhhh..” 

The look on Ashley’s face was nothing short of sheer concentration, scrutinising the small obscure picture on his phone and trying to verify if the person sitting where he and his online suitor had arranged to meet.

As always, he was ten minutes late which made him unsure if they had waited or was he looking at a random who just happened to be there?  

(This was what he got for going back to Tinder.) 

The only photo he had been able to sleuth of the person he matched with an hour earlier was more of a body shot -- a nice one at that -- which was great  for his eyes but not so illuminating when it came real life. 

Deciding to just say fuck it instead of loitering by the bar staring like Valdez’s very own answer to Quasimodo, he slid into the booth, phone in hand so the face of it was facing out towards the other. 

“Hey there, sorry if this is weird but is this you? I’m supposed to be meeting someone here and.. Yeah.”

“Oh man,” Ashley says on an exhale, his palm pressed to his chest above where his heart resided, the race of it a combination of exertion and affection for the girl laying next to him. 

“I love it when you talk comics.”

He punctuated just how much with a stolen kiss, the brief press of their lips a luxury he was still stoked to have permission to do. It’s not new ground but it’s one they’re still navigating, and he couldn’t be happier about it if he tried. 

( Much to most folks annoyance, a happy thief was an overly cheery one. ) 

“Do we have to get up and go thieving today?”

“Well? Where do you think I should get it?” Ashley asked, his t-shirt in his hand and not on his body where it should be, as he (comically) flexed his muscles. If his body could be regarded as a canvas, it was one that had been recycled tenfold. 

Most of his torso and back littered with various tattoos ranging from detailed works that signified specific periods of his life right down to a stick and poke stick man he had let his twin brother tattoo on him after they had split a bottle of tequila. 

“What about on my back somewhere?” Ashley was, trying to look over his shoulder impossibly at the surface, which resulted in him spinning in circles like a Shih Tzu trying to chase it’s own tail. 

“Wow, fuck a duck, I’m dizzy.”

⋆ ◦ ° ☾ chris wood + cis male + he/him — have you met ashley mills? they are a twenty eight year old known around town as the swindler. they’ve been in the gang life for three years, and currently work for the cobras as a thief. they are a bisexual aries, which means they are sweet + thoughtful, as well as forgetful + immature. scuffed converse, messy hair, stolen wallets.

Ashley Stevie Mills – goes by Ash, Smash, Dory (only to his best friends).

Born in April 1st 1980 on Long Island, New York to Matthew and Karen Mills. 

ABOUT.

Born four minutes after his twin brother, Ashley became the second born of five boys. During her pregnancy, his mother Karen was sure she was having a boy and a girl, and had their names already chosen. When Ashley came screaming into the world a boy, they decided to stick with the name they had already chosen. 

Ashley was always the mother hen of the Mills boys brood. He cared deeply for his siblings and his parents, having grown up in a loving household. However, this didn't dissuade him from his bad habits. He acted out at school, mostly through kleptomania. 

Growing up, his nickname was Sticky Fingers. As a child, his family joked about his habit of taking things that weren’t his. If something went missing, you could guess it was with Ashley. 

Things started to get a bit more serious, however, when there were phone calls from school saying he’d been taking things from other students. He would steal other kids pens, pencils, rulers, most of the time without even realising he had done it. It landed him in constant trouble with his school and his peers, and his parents grew tired of it. 

From there, his parents started to send him to therapy to sort out his unusual habit. For a while, it worked, and Ashley’s habit died down. When he was caught shoplifting, though, his parents had had enough. They didn’t fight when Ashey was taken to a juvenile detention centre for his behaviour, and when he was out, they wanted nothing more to do with him. 

With no one to police his habit, Ashley stole more and more, and with his habit bringing in money, he was able to support himself independently. Alone and adrift, he found it easy to slot into a life of crime after joining the ranks of the Cobras not long after he found himself in Valdez. It combined the two things he craved the most -- theft and a found family. Despite the lifestyle he finds himself is, Ashley remains a softhearted boy, with an aversion to violence.

PERSONALITY.

At first, Ashley can come off as annoying, especially when he takes peoples’ things, but he doesn’t do it in a malicious way. He’s hard-working and kind-hearted and would help someone in need if possible. 

He’s always there to offer advice, even if it’s not the best. If there’s one thing that Ashley is proud of, despite his parents’ disapproval, it’s his sticky fingers. He’s good at what he does and he knows it, which can sometimes come off as cocky, and has definitely learnt from his mistake of getting caught.

There is a bit of a sensitive side to Ashley that he lets out from time to time, but around the guys, he likes to try and be seen as one of them.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

I’ve actually been writing Ashley for about 2 years now, but I’ve altered him to fit with Valdez so he’s a blank slate as far as connections go! And honestly, I’m open to everything and anything so truly, hit me up.

｡･ﾟﾟ･ continued from here.

Ashley’s head had been leaned over the arm of the couch, as though a position that would make a chiropractor weep might ward off the food baby he was currently carrying. With a hand under his Jurassic Park t-shirt, he rubbed his stomach in a bid to ease his discomfort as he listened to his twin try to pontificate on the legitimacy of aliens. 

“Wait,” Ashley interrupts, his head popping up like whac-a-mole. “You know that Zoe Saldana exists, right? Or do you only find her that hot when she’s full body green playing an angry alien? Cause that’s a little spicy,” Ashley mocks, teasing his twin was up in the top three of what was fun about having a twin. 

( That and the fact he could steal all his trainers -- thank you, shared shoe size. ) 

“Sure I do,” Ashley says with a shrug, reaching over to eat another nacho which could have been misconstrued as a tangy cheese attempt at ending it all. He munches on the chip and lays his head back against the corner of the couch, looking to Aidan when he eventually elaborates. 

“Look how long it took us to get to the moon which is like, our next door neighbour solar system wise. Even if there was nothing living on that, it’s arrogant to think that it’s just us in this big old solar system. We probably look like cavemen with our iPhones and climate change to our future alien rulers. They’re definitely laughing their little green asses off at us in their hovercrafts.”

❝God forbid I exude confidence and enjoy sex.❞ clara + ashley

CRUEL INTENTIONS → SENTENCE MEME | ACCEPTING.

“We all enjoy sex, Edge Lord,” Ashley scoffed, taking another swig of his Pepsi Max as he sank further down the couch and rested his feet on the coffee table. Sunday’s were for lazing around with bad television and his roommates, one of which seemed to have vanished for the afternoon – traitor. 

“Well not like, with each other in a sort of threesome orgy way. Because that’s probably not good for the apartment ambiance.. etcetera.”

(Shovel, meet ground.) 

“Whatever, where’s this confidence you exude? I’ve yet to see it.”
