max🖤:
hey
question
luke:
hey
ask away
max🖤:
don't take this the wrong way but why is there so much sexual tension between you and calum
luke:
I-
HOW ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THAT, MAX
max🖤:
not like that
luke:
what are you even talking about
max🖤:
the... the sexual tension everyone else is absolutely noticing as well
luke:
well um, sorry i guess
but cal's straight so
and even if he wasn't, there isn't any tension between us
[two new messages from calum my bf <3: WHY DID ASHTON JUST ASK ME WHY YOU AND I ARE SO HORNY FOR EACH OTHER]
[WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM WHAT DI DOYU TELL TJHIM]
luke:
why did cal just text me and ask me why ashton just asked him the same thing you did
max🖤:
i don't know??
i mean i mentioned it to ashton but i didn't expect him to ask calum
luke:
god
where did this even come from
max🖤:
is it seriously not obvious to you
luke:
no
considering i am in a relationship with /you/
and not calum
and calum is my ~straight~ friend
so
max🖤:
okay
i'm sorry
luke:
not fun when it seems like it's happening to you, huh
max🖤:
woah
what
luke:
you realize this is how everything with kai started, right
i thought you two were flirting in a non-joking way and all of a sudden all your shit is out of the apartment and you're telling me you love someone else after seven years and i have to be fine with it
max🖤:
what the fuck luke
luke:
i am the most insecure person you have ever known
why did you think i was fine
max🖤:
what?
i didn't
why didn't you say any of this earlier
luke:
because i didn't
and it doesn't really matter anymore, so
max🖤:
it definitely matter since you're still visibly upset about it
talk to me
luke:
i have to go
max🖤:
dude
luke:
i'll see you tonight
[incoming message from calum my bf <3: DONT LEAVE ME ON READ LUKE HWAT THE FUCK]
luke:
max and i got into a fight
whoops
he asked me essentially the same thing ashton asked you
so that's fun
what'd you say to ashton
calum my bf <3:
I DENIED IT
OBVIOUSLY
BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK
DOES HE KNOW?
DO THEY ALL KNOW
luke:
no
no one knows
calum my bf <3:
fuck
okay
luke:
max is just like "y'all obviously have sexual tension and i wouldn't be surprised if the other guys see it too"
and i'm like no??????
then he said he mentioned it to ashton but he didn't think ashton would say anything
calum my bf <3:
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
luke:
and i'm just sitting here absolutely fucking nonplussed because why the fuck would he even ask me that that's literally how our breakup started i literally asked him the same shit about kai and one thing led to another and i walk in the apartment and his shit is gone and all of a sudden he's in love with him and i have to be fine with it
fuck
calum my bf <3:
nonplussed....?
luke:
it means confused
but confused and surprised doesn't even begin to convey how i feel right now so
calum my bf <3:
oh
wait you said max told you about kai
luke:
I LIED :)
I DO THAT :)
it was a desperate, pointless endeavor it make it all seem less pathetic
to make me seem less pathetic and completely fucking clueless
calum my bf <3:
well
shit
that's so toxic
luke:
yeah
i'm not very big on noticing red flags
calum my bf <3:
honey :/
now i'm just wondering why the fuck you took him back
luke:
because i've been in love with him since i was sixteen
and him leaving was the biggest change i had ever gone through and i didn't know how to deal with it
and he's not a bad person
he just did something really fucking stupid
he lied and he was an asshole but i was insecure and annoying and never communicated my problems and pushed him away when i was upset and didn't let him help me with anything i was dealing with ever
so it was kind of both our faults
but now i'm confused again
because now he clearly thinks i have feelings for you
so
calum my bf <3:
wow you mean you aren't as hopelessly in love with me as i am with you?
that shit hurted
luke:
i know you're kidding but i would be so concerned if you weren't because you could do so much better
calum my bf <3:
hush
i would love to be with you you're amazing
luke:
thanks 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
calum my bf <3:
ceo of 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
luke:
KHDFHGQKJGHLJ
i'm baby <3
calum my bf <3:
you are
luke:
but anyway yeah i don't know how to fix this
calum my bf <3:
same
luke:
fuckkkkkkkk
calum my bf <3:
what if we just... told them
luke:
i mean
it'd out you
calum my bf <3:
yeah
luke:
are you ready to come out?
calum my bf <3:
no but i don't really see another choice lmfao
luke:
no
we'll figure out something
but i'm not outing you just so we can avoid things being awkward with max
ashton too^
i'll just tell max i've always talked to you the way he assumes we're texting
and he'll probably believe me solely because i'm just annoying enough to sound like i'm trying to fuck all my friends constantly
calum my bf <3:
but what about ashton
we've known each other the same amount of time so ashton knows that's a lie
do we really have sexual tension?
luke:
well, we did have sex
calum my bf <3:
there is that
luke:
we'll figure something out, okay
with my einstein brain and your ravishing good looks i think we should be able to come up with something
calum my bf <3:
you don't even sound like you've convinced yourself of that
luke:
i haven't
calum my bf <3:
let's just tell them
it's okay
they won't care that i'm gay anyway
luke:
yeah but the point is that you shouldn't have to come out before you're ready just to please people
calum my bf <3:
have you met me
people-pleasing is in my dna
luke:
yeah
calum my bf <3:
but seriously
it's okay
i'm over it at this point
i'd rather be out before i'm ~completely ready~ and have everything be fine than live with the awkwardness that will inevitably come if we don't say anything
luke:
but will everything REALLY be fine if we tell them
calum my bf <3:
dude i'm just hoping at this point
this is so screwed up
luke:
just a little
but like... u don't regret it right
calum my bf <3:
no
luke:
okay
just wanted to make sure
calum my bf <3:
honey are you that insecure with yourself that you think i would ever regret having sex with you
YOU OF ALL PEOPLE
luke:
sdjhgkjhklsjf
yes
calum my bf <3:
ugh
i do not regret it and i have not ever regretted it
you don't have to worry about that
luke:
okay 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
so we're gonna tell them?
calum my bf <3:
maybe not the part about us both still reminiscing about how great it was
luke:
yeah maybe not
calum my bf <3:
just max and ashton or everyone
luke:
i'd say just max and ashton but we both know ashton will accidentally tell atlas and atlas will forget he isn't even supposed to know and he'll casually drop it in the groupchat then michael will know and boom everyone knows
calum my bf <3:
yeah
so everyone
luke:
yeah
if you're down for that
calum my bf <3:
i am far from down for it but let's do it
luke:
okay
i love u cally i'm sorry :(
calum my bf <3:
i love u too lil lu
it's okay
you tried
luke:
:/
[incoming message from taylor was right: GUYS I JUST HELPED DELIVER A CHILD]

luke:
I AM PART OF THE THING HE HAS TO TELL YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP
max🖤:

doctor atlas:
that sounded so passive
luke:
it was
we're fighting
anyway
max🖤:
wow
michael:
oh
ashton:
i feel like we're snooping LMAO
luke:
well i'm not elaborating on the argument (yet, we'll see how this goes) so
max🖤:
what the fuck
calum my bf <3:
oooookayyyyyy and that brings me to our next point
there's technically two pieces of news
which one do y'all want first
doctor atlas:
is it like... good news and bad news... or
luke:
it depends on how you look at it
calum my bf <3:
yeah
um,, news 1 is good and news 2 is maybe good maybe will destroy some lives
luke:
calumshgkuhafsjfp
michael:
good news first
if you do the other first we might not get to the second news
calum my bf <3:
okay
luke we'll do it fast so i'll say mine then you say the other really quick
luke:
hell yeah
bandaids
calum my bf <3:
yes
doctor atlas:
i don't know if i like where this is going
calum my bf <3:
it's fine
so basically
i've been lying to all of you
michael:
how is this news good
calum my bf <3:
JUST TRUST ME
doctor atlas:
you're starting to sound like luke
luke:
awh thank u <3
doctor atlas:
oh my god
calum my bf <3:
ANYWAY
i lied because i was scared of who i was but i'm not as scared anymore so yeah
i'm gay :)
luke:
ALSO CAL AND I HAD SEX THE WEEKEND WE MET IN PERSON
YK BEFORE WE ALL MET IN PERSON
michael:
oh my fucking god
luke:
anyway who wants to see what i did to my hair
ashton:
WHAT THE FUCK
doctor atlas:
dear god
calum my bf <3:
heheh
sorry we never told you but also not sorry because it's our sex life so
michael:
SO YOU LIED
WHEN I ASKED YOU IF YOU SLEPT TOGETHER
luke:
of course we lied
cal wasn't out and we knew y'all would never let us live it down if we told you
doctor atlas:
wait so you knew he was gay
luke:
that is typically what "we had sex" means
calum my bf <3:
i actually didn't tell him i'm gay until a couple days later
i thought i was bi at the time we,,,
but i later came to the realization that no lmfao i am gay
ashton:
luke's impact
luke:
ASHTONTHGLKDFNN
calum my bf <3:
I-
y'all are never gonna let us live it down huh
michael:
no
luke:
expected that
[incoming message from calum my bf <3: max left didn't he]
luke:
yes
he probably shut off his phone as soon as i said it
and my texts aren't even going through to his phone so
calum my bf <3:
fuck
i'm sorry lu
luke:
it's okay
i knew it would happen so i was kind of ready
calum my bf <3:
but still
luke:
yeah :/
i'm gonna go take a nap
calum my bf <3:
are you okay?
luke:
not really but i don't feel like dealing with it right now so i'm gonna take a nap then i'll make spaghetti and deal with it
calum my bf <3:
😂😂
just remember i'm two hours away if you need me
luke:
it breaks my heart to say this because you're literally the best friend i've ever had but that probably wouldn't be a good idea right now
at least until i can talk to max
if he comes home tonight
he has a habit of staying with other people and moping when we're fighting
calum my bf <3:
:/
luke:
thank you though
you're a very good friend
and an incredibly sweet boy with a really nice ass
calum my bf <3:
luke dhfjkgfljdhsfvjln
luke:
am i supposed to say you don't?
IF IT'S WRONG I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT
calum my bf <3:
sigh
luke:
okay i'm gonna nap now
i'll text u later i love u cally
calum my bf <3:
i love u too, lil lu <3
