Romeo and Juliet: Modified , Lashton

Act 16: Another Home

Ashton walked home that night shivering. Not from the cold but from his own thoughts. The thoughts he had of Luke.

They were inches apart, so close Ashton could feel his hot breath on his own dry lips. He swore that with how close they were Luke could hear how erratic his heart was. Ashton felt slightly crazy. It was such a simple touch but it set every part of his body of fire. It sent electricity he had never felt before through his veins. It made him feel alive.

And the worst was he enjoyed it.

He didn't want to enjoy it. He didn't want the thought of Luke kissing him, of Luke caressing his body to feel so right when he knew it was so wrong. But Ashton couldn't help it. He wouldn't admit it, but he honestly loved that feeling Luke gave him. It was something he had never experienced before and, now that he had, he wanted more.

Ashton wanted to try something first, though, just to make sure of something.

He sent Calum a quick text before he entered his house.

To: Cal
Come over tonight?

Surprisingly, it was empty, but then he remembered that Lauren had a game tonight which his family had gone to and wouldn't be back from till late at night. He sighed in relief. This meant he could fully go through with his plan without worry of being caught or disturbed.

Calum texted back moments later.

From: Cal
Be there in 25. Xx

Ashton smiled. Then he went to go make himself a quick bite to eat before Calum arrived.

***
Just as promised, Calum was there in twenty-five minutes almost exactly.

He knocked a few times on Ashton's door, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he waited. Ashton opened the door and smiled, offering Calum inside.

"Thanks," Calum said as he walked in.

"No problem."

"So, what do you-" He began, but was immediately cut off by Ashton gripping his shirt and smashing their lips together.

Calum stood shocked for a moment, not sure how to respond, then he quickly kissed Ashton back. His hands found themselves at Ashton's hips, gripping them lightly as he pressed Ashton up against the door. Ashton's hands released his shirt and then he curled his arms around Calum's neck, bringing him in closer.

Calum automatically took over dominance. He tilted his head to the side and deepened the kiss. Ashton tried to keep up with Calum as best as he could. It was he first kiss and he wasn't exactly sure of what to do because he had only ever read about kissing or saw it in movies. He had never done it himself. So he let Calum do whatever he wanted.

Calum took his hands off Ashton's hips and slowly snaked them up his shirt. Ashton shivered at his cold touch as goosebumps formed on his skin. Calum smirked into the kiss. Then, he bit down on Ashton's bottom lip and Ashton gasped, opening his mouth enough for Calum to prod his tongue in.

It was a weird feeling, Ashton noted, but, then again, this whole kiss was a weird feeling. Calum's tongue travelled around the insides of his mouth, noticing that Ashton tasted a lot like salt and vinegar chips. Ashton's hands tangled in Calum's hair. He lightly tugged on it and Calum moaned.

Ashton stopped kissing him.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I can't do this."

Calum gave him as confused look, "Are you scared or something?"

Ashton shook his head.

Calum still didn't understand as he slowly backed away from Ashton.

"It doesn't feel right." Ashton said.

"What doesn't feel right?"

"This," -he gestured between him and Calum- "doesn't feel right. Look, Calum you're a great guy. You're fucking phenomenal, believe me. But you're-you're the one for me, okay? I wish you were. But you're not." Ashton finished, sighing sadly.

Calum nodded slowly. He understood what Ashton meant, but he really wish Ashton didn't mean it.

"It's because of Luke isn't it?"

Ashton frowned but nodded. "Yes."

Calum sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Thanks for being honest."

"We could still be friends?" Ashton asked hopefully.

"Sure. Just, give me a bit of time okay?" Calum smiled weakly.

"Of course. If I didn't like Luke I would definitely like you, Cal."

Calum laughed, "I know you would, Ash. But, hey, if you want I could try and help you out with Luke?"

Ashton smiled, "Would you?"

"It's the least I could do." Calum agreed.

"Okay, so I sort of have a plan." Ashton began as he walked into the living room with Calum tailing behind.
