~Luke's POV~
"How did you get his number? I want it!" I grabbed Michael's phone while we were heading to school but he snatched it back.
"Because we're friends and I earned it. And besides, it'd be creepy if you text him and say 'Oh yeah hey Ashton it's Luke and I have a huge crush on you kay bye' don't you think?" He rolled his eyes at me.
True...
"Okay guys let's go." Calum rushed out of the car as we followed. I know we barely know Ashton but still I don't know why but I feel like I have to protect him.
"You guys, he said the back of the school so this way!" Michael led us and when I turned the corner I couldn't believe my eyes.
Poor little Ashton laying on the floor covered in blood just laying there. It didn't even look like he was breathing. If you listened close enough you could have heard my heart break. He just looked so fragile and innocent and helpless like he just stood there and took it all. How could someone ever hurt him, someone as beautiful as him.
"ASHTON." I gasped and rushed to his side.
"Mhm... Luke? Please tell me that's you. I need you." He whimpered.
"I'm right here Ashy, don't worry."
He coughed/laughed a little before saying, "Ashy...? That's super cute I like it." He blushed even though the condition he's in.
"Do you want us to take you to the hospital. You look really bad. I mean no, not like that but I mean your wounds look bad. Are you okay?" Calum asked bending down in one knee to look at him as Michael did the same.
"N-No! Um, it's t-totally fine." He stuttered and tried standing up but failed.
"Here, let me help you." I said wrapping an arm around him while he did the same. Oh my gosh I just realized how short he is and aWH THAT'S SO CUTE.
Excuse me.
"You're really tall." He giggled -awh- making his way to my car. And yes, it is my car. Calum just loves to drive it.
"Who did this to you? Calum asked as I set him in the passenger seat of my car.
But Ashton stays silent sitting there with his head hanging down and his hands in his lap.
"It's okay Ash, you don't need to tell us." Michael says rubbing his back.
"Okay." He whispers, dangling his feet off the edge of the seat.
"Hope you feel better Ashton, I really do." Calum says
"Yeah."
"Well I guess we'll just leave you two alone." Michael starts. That little fucker. "See ya guys later, Calum and I are gonna go to my house just around the corner, okay?" Michael said giving me a sly smile. Oh he's gonna get it, I see what he's doing here.
"Okay guys, bye!" I said between my teeth glaring at them both until they turned around the corner.
"So Ashy," I said as he scratched the back of his neck smiling a bit. "Do you want me to take you to your ho-"
"No! Please no don't make me go home." He grabbed my hand, pleading me. I looked into his eyes and frowned seeing that he was about to cry. I pull him into a hug and we just stand there as the sun starts to set.
"Ashton."
"Mhm?" He looked up at me.
"Do you want to maybe sleepover at my house?"
"Um, I don't want to intrude or anything but-"
"No, you're fine. My moms completely understanding and she'll let you stay."
"But we just met?" He shrugged, he's got a point.
"Think of this as a way for us to get to know each other!" I smiled slightly at him putting my hand on the car door shutting it. I slip into the drivers seat and see him staring at me.
"I'd love that. Thank you, Lukey."
"Lukey...? I like that." I wink, heading to my house. I'm honestly really exited about this.
And no not in that way ya dirty minded perverts. Get your head out of the gutter.
I mean that we can finally get to know each other.
"Ash?"
"Yesss?"
"How long were you sitting there?"
"Um, since after school."
"Oh Ashton, that was at least three hours ago were you... were you really there for that long?"
"Y-yeah." There's that stutter again. But it's fucking adorable so that's okay.
"Please tell me, who did this?"
'So I can beat the living shit out of them.'
I say mentally in my head. As soon as I find out who did it to my Ashton I swear I'm gonna kill a bitch.
"I'd rather not say right now, Luke. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, Ashton." I place my hand over his hesitantly but relax as soon as he didn't move or anything. I keep my hand there for a few more seconds before pulling away and seeing him put his head down.
As I drive we sit in a comfortable silence the rest of the way until I pull into my driveway.
"That's your house?" He asked in awe gazing around.
"Oh yeah." I smile as we walking into the house.
"Hey mom?" I ask honestly kinda scared because I didn't tell her that I'd have a friend over.
"Yes honey- oh. Who's this?" She smiles as Ashton and I enter the house.
"Mom, this is Ashton. Ashton this is my mom, Liz."
"Hello Mrs. Hemmings." Ashton pulls his sleeve down further than it already was before shaking my moms hand.
"Please call me Liz sweetie. Now what happened to your eye?" She asked worryingly leading him over to the sink to examine his eye. Yup, that's my mom for you.
"Oh um, in gym we were playing American football and I got hit in the eye."
Mhm, nicely played Irwin.
It wasn't a total lie though. We did play football or American football, what you guys like to say. Just he never got hit in the eye, and I would know if he did. Pft, it doesn't sound creepy that I keep an eye on him at all times, right?
"Awh, poor baby." She cooed giving him a damp cloth to put on it.
"Thank you Mrs. Hem- Liz." He gave her a smile before walking back over to me.
"Mom, could he please spend the night...?" I started but could clearly see she needed a reason. "His parents aren't home and he doesn't have a house key!" I spit out. Phew, nice save Luke. I thanked the lords as she nodded.
"I suppose. Just remember you boys have school in the morning!" She called before I thanked her running upstairs.
"Your mom's really nice." He said walking into my room and gasped seeing the posters I had on my wall.
"Yeah, haha I guess. Only when she wants to be." I chuckled.
"I love your room it's so cool." He complimented sitting on my bed as I do the same.
"Thank you now you must feel pretty icky so do you wanna shower? You can barrow some of my clothes if you want?"
"Oh really? I can? Serious." He looked at me like I was crazy.
"Yeah, of course! Anything to help a friend." Damnit why'd I say 'friend'.
"Oh yeah, haha right." He chuckled, it was obviously fake though. I can see right through it.
"The bathrooms down the hall and here are my clothes." I smiled. "Hope you like Nirvana, cuz you're gonna be wearing that shirt."
Ashton smiled. "I love them." And with that he was gone.
I get changed into my PJs and sit on my bed waiting for him. I started thinking about him. Just thinking about him. No it's not creepy because I love everything about him. The way he can wear a hat, the way he can wear tank tops and not look dorky, the way he wears so many bracelets, the way he- wait. Why does he wear so many bracelets? I um, I'm sure it's nothing really. He couldn't hurt himself. He's too happy and preppy. But then again that's how I am. Shit. No. He couldn't.
I hear a slight knock on my door and see him enter wearing my clothes and... His bracelets.
But... ZAYUMMM HE LOOKS GOOD IN MY CLOTHES IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.
"Thank you for everything." He said placing his clothes by his backpack and sits down next to me.
"No problem. So do you want to get to know each other.
"Sure!" He said sitting crossing his legs and stares at me. "You can start."
I do the same thing and face him.
(A/N: OKAY DONT KILL ME BUT I TOTALLY FORGOT THE AGES OF THEIR SIBLINGS SO DONT YELL AT ME OKAY. IM JUST GUESSING HERE. IM SORRY.)
"Okay well. Um, my name is Luke Hemmings. I'm 16 years old. I have two older brothers, Ben and Jack. I only have my mom. I love to sing and play guitar. I like penguins, a lot. Uh, there's nothing else really. And I'm in a band with Calum and Michael but we still need a drummer."
"Oh really!" Ashton says jumping a little. "I mean, oh that's really cool." He smiles.
"Haha, your turn!"
"Fine. Well. My name is Ashton Fletcher Irwin. I'm 16 years old. (A/N remember I made them all the same age in this. Just a reminder so people don't yell at me.) I have two younger siblings, my brother Harry and my sister Lauren. I have only my dad, though. And I do sing but not as much as I love to play the drums." He smiles, finishing his sentence.
"You play the drums?" I question. He better be good at them.
"Been a passion of mine since forever." He replied fiddling with his bracelets. I really wish he would take them off but then again I sleep with my bracelets sometimes so...
"That's really good to know, Ash." I grin. I've got to tell Cal and Mike about this. "You'll have to play for me sometime soon."
"I'd think that'd be great." He gave me a thumbs up.
"I feel like I've known you forever for some reason..." I trail off. He's just so easy to talk to.
"Same with you. You're really easy to talk to."
"You are too." We both laugh and sigh.
"You'll have to sing for me too. You do realize that right?"
"What! No." He frowns. "I hate my voice and besides I'm too shy." He sighs.
"I'm sure you sing beautifully, Ash." I smile grabbing his hand.
We look at each other for a while until I realize we're both leaning in and-
"It's a school night boys! Go to bed now it's already 9:30." My mom pops in real quick.
Fuck you mom. Fuck you.
"Ahem, uh yeah it is late we should go to bed now." He says awkwardly.
"Yeah I agree." I scratch the back of my neck as he gets up.
"Where are you going?" I ask tilting my head to the side.
"To sleep in the living room? Isn't it uncomfortable for us to sleep in the same bed?" He leans against the wall,
twirling the tie on his (my) sweats.
"Oh well, I don't mind but if you don't feel comfortable I'll sleep somewhere else. Just please, take my bed?" I insist and see him walking back towards me.
"Oh then I don't mind." He gives me a small smile and I let him hop into my bed first so he gets to be by the wall.
I turn off the light and slip in after him.
"Goodnight, Ashy." I whisper after a moment of silence.
A few seconds later I hear a faint.
"Goodnight, Lukey." And a yawn.
I smile to myself before I shut my eyes and let my mind wander off into a peaceful sleep.
