Catch 22

Do it

It was Monday again. Luke had skipped school Thursday and Friday claiming to be sick, but his friends knew better. Luke had told them he just needed some time to recover. Over the weekend he hung out with Michael and Calum but had managed to avoid seeing Ashton. He just wasn't quite ready for that. He and Ashton had been texting and Ashton understood he needed time. Now Luke was waiting outside the auditorium for Ashton. He had agreed to meet up with him before class.

"Hey." Luke turned to see Ashton smiling at him.

"Hi." Luke smiled back.

"How are you doing?" Ashton asked a look of concern on his face.

"I'm okay, actually. I'm a little disappointed in myself but I'm much better than I was Wednesday." Luke answered honestly.

"Good, I was worried about you."

"Hemmings."

Luke stiffened at the sound of his name.

"Hey, Zayn." Luke turned to see the raven haired guy walk up to him.

"I heard about you and Liam. Tough break." Zayn commented.

"Can we not talk about this in the middle of the hall way?" Luke asked in a low tone.

"Sure." Zayn shrugged pushing open the door to the auditorium.

Luke and Ashton followed him inside.

"So, you finally ended things with him." Zayn smirked at Luke.

"Yeah." Luke nodded feeling slightly ashamed that he had even dated Liam at all.

"So you heated up that stove yet?" Zayn asked with a large grin.

"No." Luke frowned.

"Aww come on, why not?" Zayn asked disappointed.

"I'm not much of a cook." Luke gave Zayn a look that begged him to drop the topic.

"What if I helped you." Zayn offered.

Luke frowned even more not understanding what Zayn was getting at.

Zayn leaned in and whispered to Luke.

"Kiss him, right now."

"No." Luke hissed as Zayn pulled away.

"What are you two talking about?" Ashton asked narrowing his eyes.

"Do it." Zayn pushed.

"No." Luke shook his head.

"If you don't, I will." Zayn smirked.

"Don't you dare." Luke growled.

"Then do it."

"No."

"Do it."

"Do what?" Ashton asked confused and annoyed.

"Fine." Zayn shrugged. He turned to Ashton but before Zayn could do anything Luke jumped in pulling Zayn into a kiss.

Zayn kissed back quickly. Luke pulled back before Zayn could deepen the kiss.

The two of them glanced over at Ashton who looked stunned. Luke felt guilt course through him. He knew that hurt Ashton.

"Wow, Liam is right, you are a good kisser." Zayn smiled at Luke who only blushed.

"He also told me you give really good blow jobs, I'd like to find out if he's right about that as well."

Luke felt his face flush an even deeper shade of red. He tossed an uncomfortable glance at Ashton who had his jaw clenched. Zayn looked at Ashton and smiled.
