"Did you say something to Calum?" Luke asked as he sat entered Ashton's bedroom. Ashton had picked up Luke from his house since Luke didn't want to be home alone with Jack. He just didn't feel like hearing Jack's constant complaining about Luke's relationship with Ashton.
"Did he say that I did?" Ashton asked carelessly as he closed his bedroom door before making his way over to his bed and threw himself down on it.
"No, but he was being cautious all day, like, looking around all the time" Luke spoke and Ashton felt satisfied that Calum hadn't crossed him.
"Well he should be, he tried to kiss you" Ashton mumbled and crossed his ankles as he relaxed on his bed.
"It was a misunderstanding" Luke said and Ashton scoffed.
"Yeah, sure it was" Ashton mumbled and Luke sighed before he made his way over to the bed as well. He stood beside Ashton and looked down at the older boy.
"Did you hurt him?" Luke whispered as he let his fingertips run back and forth against the exposed skin on Ashton's muscular arms.
"No," Ashton answered and looked up at Luke with furrowed eyebrows, "Did he fucking tell you I did? I swear to god I'll fucking k-"
"Stop," Luke said and locked his icy-blue eyes with Ashton's angry hazel-green, "He didn't say anything, nor did he do anything to me. You need to stop thinking that he'll do something wrong. He's my best friend and I want him to be as he is, not some scared boy who acts like he walks on eggshells around me"
"I'm keeping you safe" Ashton said and looked at Luke sincerely.
"No you don't," Luke said and shook his head, "You keep me isolated from the world. I can't do anything anymore and just because some people are bad doesn't mean everyone are"
"People can surprise you Luke" Ashton said and sat up in the bed and moved to the edge of it to look at Luke easier.
"I know, I just- I want to be able to live my life while living" Luke whispered.
"You chose this Luke. I tried to stop you from going into my life but you were persistent on wanting to be a part of it. With me comes a lot of changes to life. I tried to teach you how to use a gun and I've tried to show you my work, but you want nothing to do with it. So the only thing I can do is to keep you safe all the time, and with that comes you not living a normal teenage life"
Luke bit his lip before nodding his head and stepped in between Ashton's legs and draped his arms around his neck. As Ashton was seated on the bed and Luke was standing on the floor, Luke was just a few inches taller
Ashton placed his hands on Luke's lower hips and tugged the smaller boy closer to himself.
"I'm sorry" Luke said quietly and twirled his fingers in Ashton's hair at the back of his neck.
"For?" Ashton asked.
"For being so persistent on being a part of your life and complicating it all. I feel like I've made your life worse since I got into it"
"That's a lie, you made it better," Ashton said and pulled Luke closer to his chest, "You make me want to live every day that goes by. I can't just give up because you're here now, and I want to live each tomorrow to see what you'll do or say to me. I just want to live to see and feel you, angel"
Luke held onto Ashton and smiled. It was a relief to hear Ashton tell him that because deep down Luke had always been worried about Ashton actually regretted letting Luke into his life.
"I got you inked onto my fucking skin, angel" Ashton whispered and turned his arm to show Luke the beautifully detailed angel wings glowing on Ashton's forearm.
Luke was quiet as he let his eyes inspect the tattoo. He slowly brought one hand down to Ashton's arm and ran his fingertips over it gently.
"If I told you something now, would you promise me not to get mad?" Luke spoke softly, making Ashton frown.
"What have you done?" Ashton asked, his voice stern and slightly worried as he held Luke close.
"Nothing, I just- I want to tell you something but I don't want you to get mad at me"
"I can't promise I won't get mad if I don't even know what you're gonna tell me" Ashton spoke, his face blank as he had all kind of scenarios playing in his mind, all about what Luke was going to tell him.
"Okay," Luke whispered and looked at the tattoo on Ashton's skin as he bit his lip. Ashton tightened his grip on Luke's hip.
"Okay, don't be mad at me now" Luke spoke again and licked his lips before looking into Ashton's eyes.
"Luke" Ashton spoke sternly and Luke nodded his head.
"I think-" Luke spoke before taking a small breath and tugged slightly at Ashton's hair in nervousness, "I think I may have fallen in love with you"
Everything grew quiet as those soft words left Luke's pretty pink lips. Ashton's hold on the younger boy tightened as they both looked at each other. Luke's blue eyes were nervous as they looked into Ashton's unreadable ones.
"You're mad" Luke breathed out and his shoulders slumped as he watched Ashton's clenched jaw.
"No" Ashton spoke and shook his head slowly.
"You look mad" Luke whispered while starting to twirl his fingers in Ashton's hair again.
"I'm not," Ashton said and curled his arms around Luke waist the bring the young boy as close as possible as he looked up at him, "Why would I be mad because of that?"
"I don't know," Luke mumbled as he shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't think you'd be happy that I've fallen for you, I mean, that I've grown attached to you"
Ashton stood up from the bed and picked Luke up in the same movement. Luke quickly wrapped his legs around Ashton's waist and tightened his grip around Ashton's neck as the older boy turned around to place Luke down on the bed and crawled on top.
"I'm not mad," Ashton whispered as he hovered over Luke, his hazel-green eyes looking into Luke's softly while repeating, "I'm not mad"
"Then what are you?" Luke asked quietly and his blue eyes were gleaming in the slight dark of Ashton's bedroom.
Ashton didn't answer the blonde's question before he placed his lips on Luke's lips, kissing him deeply while his heart was beating hard. As he pulled away, Luke opened his eyes again and brought his small hands to Ashton's face, holding it still.
"You didn't answer my question," he whispered, "How do you feel about it?"
"Do I even have to answer that after telling you how much you improved my life"
Luke smiled. He looked up at Ashton with those big beautiful blue eyes and he smiled, because knew what Ashton had silently told him.
"Can you say it?" Luke asked quietly, a sweet smile on his face as his thumbs ran over the slight stubble on Ashton's cheeks.
Ashton bit the inside of his cheek and let his eyes roam around Luke's pretty face before speaking up softly, "Can you?"
"I already have," Luke said and giggled softly, "But I can say it as many times as you'd want me to"
"Then say it" Ashton whispered hotly before slowly placing kisses on Luke's jaw down to his neck and shoulder.
"I love you" Luke breathed out and brought his hands to Ashton's hair as the older boy worked his lips against Luke's skin.
Ashton didn't answer, he just pulled away from Luke as sat up in the bed before taking off his shirt and threw it to the floor. Luke was breathing heavily as he watched his boyfriend's toned body, coated with all those amazingly detailed tattoos.
Ashton reached down to undress Luke off his sweater, leaving the boy shirtless as well. The soft pale skin on Luke's body was irresistible for Ashton, so as fast as the sweater hit the floor, Ashton dipped down and kissed Luke hotly while running his hands over the younger boy's soft torso.
Heated tongue was brought into the kiss as Ashton slowly and, oh so gently, moved his hands down to Luke's skinny jeans and unbuttoned them. Luke made no move to stop him, he actually helped Ashton, because he wanted him.
Luke nervously moved his hands down Ashton's toned chest and abs before reaching the hem of Ashton's jeans. With shakily fingers Luke popped the button open and slowly pulled the zipper down, in some way waiting for Ashton to stop him, but he didn't. Ashton only let Luke undress him slowly, and Luke breathed heavily when they both had their jeans thrown to the floor.
Ashton caressed Luke's hip, feeling the smooth lace the blonde was wearing as his own underwear grew tighter at the sight of the almost fully naked boy underneath him.
Luke had no idea where this was going, or how far Ashton would take this, but he didn't mind how short or how far hey would go, all he wanted was to feel Ashton.
The kiss kept on going as Ashton lowered his body down on Luke's as he lifted the duvet over their almost naked bodies, covering them to Luke's comfort.
Ashton lowered his hips down on Luke's and breathed out heavily as his clothed crotch met the younger one's. Luke moaned quietly and held onto Ashton's hair harshly as he bucked his hips up for more friction.
"Are you-" Luke spoke breathlessly and opened his eyes to look straight into Ashton's, "Are we going to-" Luke said but stopped as the nerves in his eyes said it all.
Ashton bit his lip before shaking his head. "Luke, I won't do anything you don't won't to do, I promised you that" he whispered and Luke smiled as he nodded his head.
"Will you touch me?" Luke whispered shyly.
"Do you want me to?" Ashton asked and looked at Luke intently to be sure what Luke told him was the truth. Luke only nodded his head, his cheeks were coated with a soft pink color and his eyes were gleaming.
Ashton nodded his head as well before leaning his head down to attach his lips with Luke's again. He kissed the younger boy softly, breathed heavily into it as he moved his hips with Luke's slowly, moving one hand down to let his fingers run back and forth over the smooth lace Luke was wearing.
"You can take them off" Luke whispered carefully and looked up at Ashton with those innocent eyes that drove the older boy crazy.
Ashton nodded his head again and hooked his fingers into Luke's pretty underwear as the younger boy lifted his hips up to make it easier for Ashton to take them off.
Ashton ran the thin lace down Luke's smooth legs and undressed Luke fully, dropping the pretty panties to the bedroom floor before running a hand down Luke's waist and hip before slowly caressing his exposed member.
Luke let out a gasp before moaning so sweet yet filthy that Ashton had to grit his teeth to hold himself back from doing something he shouldn't.
"Can I-" Luke spoke but stopped to moan again, "Can I undress you?"
"Fuck," Ashton breathed out and closed his eyes shut before nodding his head, "Yes"
Luke carefully brought both hands to the waist of Ashton's underwear and hooked his fingers inside. Ashton could see how careful Luke was with all his movements, and it was all new for Ashton. Whenever he was in this position, it wasn't unemotional and quick, not at all like this.
Luke tugged down Ashton's underwear and after a few seconds, the garment was dropped on the floor as well. Ashton looked at Luke for permission before lowering his hips down again, now no clothes separating them.
Luke gasped and fisted the sheets at the feeling of sensitive skin against sensitive skin. It was amazing and raw and as Ashton started to move his member against Luke's, the blonde was already a moaning mess.
Ashton appreciated the sounds Luke released. They were sounds of a filthy angel and Ashton bit his lip harshly, making himself grunt quietly, as he was grinding down on the smaller boy.
Luke was moaning loudly but was cut off as Ashton leaned down to kiss him again. The kiss grew hot and wet as moans, groans and pants were released into it. One of Luke's hands were gripping Ashton's hair tightly while the other was digging its nails into Ashton's back.
"Oh my god" Luke whined out breathily and threw his head back against the pillows, allowing Ashton to kiss his neck. The older boy did just that, humming against the pale skin as he kept moving his hips, loving the way Luke felt against him.
Ashton moved one hand down and wrapped his long fingers around both their members, moving the hand up and down slowly while still keeping up his grinding.
Luke tightened his grip on Ashton's hair and tugged harshly as the other hand were now scraping Luke's nails against Ashton's back. The harshness of Luke's actions made everything heat up and Ashton moaned as he sucked on Luke's neck, leaving a filthy but beautiful mark on the skin.
Ashton picked up the pace on both his hand and his hips, making Luke pant heavily. The blonde whined and arched his back off of the mattress, his hips bucking up against Ashton's, making both boy's moan out.
"I'm- I-I'm-" Luke stuttered and Ashton nodded before placing his lips on Luke's as he released his grip around his own member to wrap his fingers only around Luke.
Ashton held a tight grip around it as he moved his hand up and down quickly, making Luke pant and moan uncontrollably.
Luke breathed shakily as the feeling at the bottom of his stomach grew more and more unbearable by each second, and soon Luke was coming over Ashton's hand and his own stomach with a loud throaty moan.
Ashton bit down on his bottom lip as he watched his boy relax down on the mattress, a fucked-out look on his face as he panted heavily.
As Luke had caught his breath, Ashton reached for one of Luke's hands and steered it over to his own achingly hard member. Luke started breathing heavily once again as his slim fingers wrapped around Ashton's cock.
Ashton breathed harshly through his nose as he directed Luke's hand up and down. Soon Ashton let go of Luke's hand to let the younger boy work himself. Luke looked up at Ashton's tensed face as his defined jaw was locked and his eyes were shut while small breaths and sounds of pleasure were released into the hot air around them.
Luke loved it, because it was him who made Ashton feel this way.
Ashton opened his eyes and they were dark of pleasure and want. Luke was in awe by how satisfied Ashton looked, and as Ashton grew closer and closer to his release, Luke was almost moaning with him.
Luke moved his hand faster, just like Ashton had previously done to him, and watched Ashton scrunch his face up.
"I love you" Luke whispered out and Ashton's face softened before in tensed up again and he came with a moan and a grunt. Luke gasped loudly as Ashton's warm release hit his skin, and he shivered at the sound of Ashton's low and hot moans.
"Fuck," Ashton breathed out before he leaned down and kissed Luke deeply, "I love you too, angel"
"You do?" Luke whispered and looked up at Ashton with those big blue eyes. Ashton answered him with a sweet kiss before standing up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom to get a towel and gently cleaned Luke up.
As Ashton came back to bed and pulled the blonde close to his chest, he pulled the duvet over them. Luke smiled and brought Ashton's tattoo up to view, studying it.
"When did you get this?" Luke asked quietly and traced the lines with his fingertips.
"A few weeks ago" Ashton spoke and brushed his thumbs over Luke's smooth waist.
"Weeks?" Luke asked and raised his eyebrows at Ashton, "You knew you wanted to have me tattooed permanently on your skin already weeks ago?"
"I feel like my life has grown safer with you in it," Ashton spoke and closed his eyes as he pulled Luke closer, "You're like my guarding angel"
**
"How was the sex?" Michael asked as they pulled up by the hidden warehouse far in the woods. They had some business to take care of, two men who wanted to sell them some stuff, and Ashton, Michael, Chase and Teddy had taken on the simple task.
"Good" Ashton mumbled shortly before getting out of the car. The boys laughed.
"Blondie was quite vocal" Chase said and Ashton sent him a deadly glare. He didn't even like the fact that they had been listening to Luke's moans. Those were only for Ashton to hear.
"Fuck off, don't talk about him like that and think of him like that" Ashton said sternly before the four boys loaded themselves with equipment and entered the warehouse.
Two men were seated at a run down table and stood up quickly as they placed their eyes on the four boys who had just entered.
Ashton narrowed his eyes at the young men, noticing something off with them as they exchanged handshakes with everyone.
"So, what you got?" Chase spoke and sat down by the table. Teddy sat down as well, just like Michael, but Ashton was still standing up and walked around the table, watching everyone with an unreadable expression on his face.
As the two men put their offers to the table and Chase and Teddy talked through it, Michael looked up and inspected Ashton as the older boy looked at the two unfamiliar men with narrowed eyes.
"Shut up" Ashton spoke sternly, shutting everyone in the warehouse up instantly.
"What's wrong?" Chase asked and Ashton looked at Michael before nodding over at the two men.
"Inspect them," Ashton said and kept his eyes on the men as he watched both of them tens up. Michael and Teddy stood up and walked over to the two men, pulling them up from their chairs.
"There's no need for that. We're all in the same circle here, come on man" one of the men said.
"Under their shirts, and in their ears. Check shoes as well. They've got people listening to us" Ashton spoke and after a minute of examining them, small microphones, speakers and chips were placed on the table as the two men were left in only their underwear.
Ashton sighed and shook his head at the two men before sitting them down on two chairs, making them sit across from each other. Ashton walked around in the empty warehouse and picked up an old tool box from the ground, walking over to the men again.
With two pieces of ripped leather and nails, the boys securely tied the two men's wrists to the old table, making it impossible for them to move away.
"I'm disappointed" Ashton spoke and leaned over the table to look at them, "Where are you from?"
"Nowhere man, we just needed to record this deal to make sure it was set"
"That was the worst lie I've ever heard" Michael laughed and Ashton nodded in agreement as he picked up the hammer again. He threw the hammer to Michael as Teddy and Chase went to one man each and held them back against the chairs.
"I'm gonna ask you again," Ashton spoke and crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at the men again, "Who do you work for?"
Both of them stayed quiet and Ashton tsked before giving Michael a nod. Michael raised the hammer to slam it down on one of the men's fingers. The man screamed out in pain as his companion was scrunching his face up in uncomfortableness and fear.
"Do you want to end up like your friend here?" Ashton asked lowly as he leaned down to speak to the yet untouched man. He shook his head. "Then tell me who you work for"
"I can't tell you-" Before he had time to finish his sentence, Michael slammed the hammer down on his fingers as well, making the man scream even louder than the other.
"Are you rats? Did you come from the fucking rats to out us?" Ashton spat, "We're not fucking stupid, we know what we do, and two fucking rats won't change that"
When the two men only whimpered in pain and never once answering his question, Ashton spoke dryly, "Take care of them"
Ashton scoffed and waved his hand in dismissal before walking out of the warehouse in frustration. Ashton heard more screams from inside, but he didn't even flinch at it as he lit a cigarette and calmly took breath.
As the cigarette was almost completely smoked out, Teddy came out of the warehouse and gave Ashton a smile. His hands carried the microphones and all those other stuff that the men had been wearing.
"I'm getting this to the car" Teddy spoke and Ashton nodded.
"How far are you?" Ashton asked and threw the cigarette away.
"Three crushed fingers each" Teddy spoke and Ashton nodded before entering the warehouse again. He walked up to Michael and pulled him away from the men before placing his own eyes on them.
"It's sad, you know, that it had to end like this" Ashton started as he sat down at a chair by the end of the table, "Because now you've seen stuff, you've heard stuff, and you're in such deep shit, it's time to end it"
Ashton stood up from the chair and leaned his hands against the table as he we watched the two men who were soon about to pass out because of their hurt fingers. They were crushed against the table, nothing more than crumbles of bones in the skin as the fingers lied lifeless.
"Damn Michael, we'll have to scrape these rats off the table after we're done with them" Ashton said as he looked at one of the men's finger that was almost completely flat against the wooden table.
"Don't do this" one of them said in a weak voice and Ashton rolled his eyes.
"Are you sad now? Regretting your previous actions, you little rat?" Ashton asked and scoffed, "I don't fall for fucking sob stories"
And with that, Ashton stood up and crossed his arms over his body. "I'll go pick up some stuff with Teddy to get them dumped in the lake, I want them taken care of when I get back" he spoke and made his way out of the warehouse again.
"You done?" Teddy asked and raised one eyebrow. Ashton shook his head.
"We're gonna pick up some things, you're going with me" Ashton answered and Teddy didn't even question it as he just sat down in the car with Ashton. Both boys heard the echoing of a gun being fired, and Ashton licked his lips in satisfaction before driving away.
"Are you and Seth okay yet?" Teddy asked as they were driving out of the woods towards a 'bar' where they got most of their stuff from.
"No," Ashton spoke, "I'm not planning to be 'okay' with him"
"Okay," Teddy said and nodded his head in understanding, "I just want you to know that your brother saved my life and he's a great fucking guy"
Ashton didn't answer, he just nodded and after that the drive was quiet. As they reached their destination Ashton gave Teddy the orders before the dark-skinned boy got out of the car to get the needed stuff from the run-down bar.
Ashton ran a hand over his face before getting out of the car and leaned against it as he lit yet another cigarette. As he smoked it calmly, he watched an all black car in the corner of the small parking lot. Its windows were tinted and the headlights were on.
Ashton narrowed his eyes at the car, looking at it with suspicious eyes as he kept smoking his cigarette. He held his other hand by the low of his back, holding onto the gun that was stuck by the waist of his jeans.
As Ashton threw the cigarette away, a loud screeching sound of wheels were heard and Ashton immediately lifted his head to watch the car drive in full speed towards him. He stood still and as the car made a quick turn, Ashton threw himself to the ground as the driver held a gun out through the window, firing it five times.
None of the bullets hit Ashton, but the sounds of his car windows being hit made Ashton know that they were near.
He kept lying down of the ground until he heard the car drive away. Teddy came running out and looked at Ashton with wide eyes as the curly haired boy stood up with a locked jaw.
"Fuck" Ashton said and gritted his teeth harshly.
"What the fuck happened? Who was that?" Teddy asked in a hurried voice.
"Fucking motherfucker" Ashton said loudly and punched the window of his car harshly.
Ashton was mad. No, he was furious, because the bandage around the hand that held the gun previously aimed at him was enough for Ashton to know that another line would be tattooed on his wrist very soon.
A line standing for the death of Calum Hood.
