Everything changes (Lashton and Malum)

Chapter 2

It was currently lunch and I was in line to get the crap that my school wanted to call food. I heard a familiar voice and recognised it as Ashton's and he was talking to the very person who punched him this morning, Michael Clifford. I ran out of the line just in time because he kicked Ashton in the leg hard enough to make him fall to the floor. I grabbed Michael by the back of his shirt and yanked him backwards. 

"Don't you dare fucking touch him!" Michael regains his balance and turns around and sneers at me.

"Who do you think you are? He's a nothing, why are you defending him?" I could only see red at that point and lunged at him making us both fall to the floor. Michael made an 'oomph' sound and groaned at the pain from his head hitting the ground. 

"You listen to me, Ashton is a way better person then you'll ever be. And you don't need to bully him just because he likes guys because if I remember correctly, I caught you and Mason making out in the janitors closet." I smirked and got off of him. We had the attention of the whole cafeteria by now and realising this, I grabbed Ashton and pulled him off the floor. I dragged him out of the cafeteria and to the janitors closet. When we were in there, I locked the door. 

"Luke-" I bent down and rolled up his pants to see a dark bruise forming from where Michael had kicked him. 

"Are you okay? Does is hurt?" I asked frantically. He pulled me up from the floor. 

"Luke calm down okay? I'm fine it doesn't even hurt." I sighed and looked into his eyes. He smiled and it brought a smile to my face. 

"I think you've had enough excitement for today. Wanna go to my house?" He shrugged and followed me out of the closet and to our lockers which weren't that far away. Once we had our stuff he led me to a black little car that looked brand new and shiny. He sheepishly got out his keys to unlock it while I stood there with my mouth hanging open.

"Okay, Luke no need to stand there and catch flies, c'mon." He hopped in and I shook my head and smiled and then hopped in. He smiled and turned on the car, waiting for the heat to come out. Once it was warm enough he started driving. I zoned off for a bit knowing it took a while to get to my house. I really like Ashton, I don't know what made me feel like this so fast but just the way he smiles and says my name is so adorable, and I feel the need to protect him. I realised what I was thinking and blushed. Once we were near my street I told him to go left and a couple minutes later we were pulling my driveway. I heard him gasp as he gazed at my house in awe. I am not going to lie, I know that I have a big house. With the help of my parent's well-paying jobs. 

"Come on, let's go in. No need to catch flies." I said in a mocking tone. He looked at me laughed lightly. 

 We both got out and headed to the front door, which I opened. watching him look around a little and smiled when he picked up a picture of me when I was 13. 

"I know, I know. 'Aw Luke you look so cute!'" I mocked what others have said to me before. He looked at me and giggled. He GIGGLED. That sound had to be the cutest thing I have heard before. 

"But at least its true. You do look adorable in this photo." He looked down with a slight blush. He put the picture down and walked forward into the hall leading to my room. He stopped not knowing which room was mine, so I walked forward and opened the door to my room. I walked in with him trailing behind me, my room being clean because I am a clean freak. I sat down on the bed, watching him stand there twiddling his thumbs. He looked around, eyes lingering on the flat screen TV and the expensive looking shoes by the wall, and my Apple laptop. 

"I promise i am not some selfish rich freak like everyone at school thinks that I am. But you should know what i mean judging on your car." I chuckled a bit. He looked at the floor, blushing. 

"I am not rich, my grandpa bought me the car before he passed. Said that I deserved something nice for once since my parents are jackasses." He looked back up at me nto see my reaction. 

"You wanna watch a movie?" He nodded and I moved over and lied down. I watched as he hesitantly lied down just an inch away since my bed wasn't that big. I went to Netflix on my tv and searched through movies. Ashton made a little squeak and I looked at him smiling. He blushed. 

"Can we watch The Pursuit of Happyness? If not that's okay, it's a really good movie though." I clicked the movie and it began to play. 

-------------------------------------------------------------2 hours later----------------------------------------------------------

Ashton had a happy face because of the end where the family finally got their happy ending and it was adorable watching him cry and laugh at the whole movie. I turned so that I was facing him and he also turned. 

"Thanks for having me over Lukey." I melted at the nickname, and he blushed realising what he said.

"Your welcome Ash." I smiled and looked at the time, seeing as it was 6:43 pm, I was wondering if asking him to stay for dinner was too much. I mean it's not like my parents are going to be home because they never are but he may not want-

"Luke?" I looked up startled at him saying my name and realising I zoned out. 

"Yeah? Sorry." He laughed.

"I was saying thanks for being there for me even though you probably didn't want to." I frowned at him wondering why he was so negative all the time and didn't believe that I genuinely wanted to help him and hang out with him.

"Ashton, stop. I want to help you. I wouldn't if have if I didn't want to. And I am your friend now, I loved hanging out with you today and was literally thinking about asking if you wanted to stay for dinner." I smiled at him which made him smile, dimples and everything. 

"Okay. I'm sorry. And I would love to stay for dinner. But I am curious, where're all your other friends?" I smiled. He looked so cuddly laying next to me that I just couldn't resist. I pulled him closer and wrapped my arms around him.

"Sorry, you just looked so cute I had to cuddle with you. And I consider everyone a friend. Everyone knows me and I know them, but I don't really hang out with many of them. You might not believe it but Michael and I use to be friends until he got in on the wrong side of the crowd. Ever since then I have just kind of stuck with myself." I felt his heart beat faster and smiled thinking he must be nervous. 

"I-its okay. I don't understand how you don't hang out with anyone. You're like super popular. I see the way everyone looks at you. They look up to you." He looked up at me and I looked down at him. 

"It might be becaus

Ashton's P.O.V

I kept looking at him and he was leaning closer. He's trying to kiss me. Luke is trying to kiss me. Does he like me? I didn't have time to think because before I knew it I felt a pair of lips on mine. I didn't kiss back at first and he must have noticed because he pulled away. 

"S-sorry Ashton, I just I know we just met but I really like you. And when you were looking up at me I just-" I cut him off by pressing my lips to his. It was a slow passionate kiss that made my stomach explode with butterflies. I could have never have been happier. I just hope this doesn't all come crashing down on me.

Authors note! Hey guys, sorry this took so long. I have been having buttloads of homework and I haven't really had time to write. But thanks for the votes even if I only have 4. It still means a lot to me. Anywho..................What do you think of the story so far?? Am I going to fast with them? Peace out.
