little love

34

"alright, are you ready, love?"

"no, but i won't ever be so lets go."

"hey, look at me," ashton says sternly. calum pouts, and looks up into ashtons eyes.

it was the day of his doctors appointment to try and up his anxiety medication. of course, calum was stressed and anxious about it. ashton knew that already, and wouldn't even dare to leave calums side.

"its gonna be okay," ashton says, "i'll be there, with you, the whole time. but, we agreed to this, yeah?"

"yeah," calum mumbles, "'m just...anxious, ashy. im sorry."

ashton smiles softly at him, "you're silly, love. now come on. after your appointment i figured we could pick up lunch and you could go back into your little space if you want."

"can we get maccas?"

"of course, baby. you get to pick since this is your appointment."

"thank you, ash. you're the best."

ashton just nods, "get your shoes on and meet me in the car. we really have to get going now."

"okay ashy!"

calums heart rate is beating fast as he waits for the doctor to come back into the room. ashton sat next to the exam table, holding calums hand, knowing that he isn't feeling the best. yet, ashton was so proud of calum. going past your limits to help yourself can be hard sometimes.

as long as you have the right person, well...it could be easier.

a knock at the door had both boys looking, and watching as calums doctor came into the room.

"hello, boys,"

"hello, doc," ashton says, "how have you been?"

"g-good," calum stammers, feeling his blood rush to his cheeks since he can't even say a proper word in front of his own doctor.

"so, you want to up your dose on your anxiety medication?"

ashton squeezes calums hand, so calum knows he's gonna have to talk for himself.

"yeah," calum says, "i-its gotten worse o-over the past y-year."

the doctor nods, and writes some things down. after a couple seconds, he looks back up to calum.

"alright, i've increased your medication. after three weeks, if it isn't strong enough, just give me a call and i'll call in a stronger order."

calum nods, "thank you."

the doctor nods, and says his goodbyes before leaving the room.

"that was easy, wasn't it?" ashton asks as they walk out of the building, hand in hand.

"no, it wasnt," calum says, smiling at ashton, "thank you. food now?"

ashton laughs, "i have to stop and pick up your prescription but after that we can stop and get food, okay?"

"okay ashy,"

_

picking up the prescription was quick. calum had managed to fall into his headspace as maccas got closer, since he was really really hungry.

"alright, what do you want, love?" ashton asks. they were behind a couple cars, so they had a couple minutes to think.

"hmm," calum hums, "chic'en nuggies! 'n cheesebuwgah!"

"and a chocolate milkshake?"

"yes p'ease, daddy!"

ashton giggles, and ends up ordering twenty chicken chicken nuggets, two double cheeseburgers, two mcchickens, and two large chocolate milkshakes. they get their food quickly, which makes calum more happy.

"alright, you can start eating if you want," ashton says, starting the drive home.

"no, i wait daddy," calum says, a huge smile on his face.

"are you sure?"

"yeah, daddy. we eaty together!"

"okay, silly boy."

"no, daddy silly!"

ashton smiles, and shakes his head. he was happy that calum was happy, and thats all he ever wanted for calum.

_ 

"come on, daddy!"

"im coming, bubba," ashton says, rushing into the family room. he sits down next to his hyper little, who was patiently waiting on ashton so they could eat and watch the office.

"okay, go ahead and play it," ashton says, pulling the food out of the bag. calum plays it, then leans into ashtons side.

the older boy opens his sweet and sour sauce, and then hands it to calum. the little smirks as he dips a nugget into the sauce, and then holds it up to ashton.

"for me?" ashton asks. calum nods, so ashton opens his mouth, waiting for calum to feed him. yet, calum doesn't.

the little slides the saucey nugget across ashtons face before shoving it into his mouth.

"hey!" ashton whines, chewing the nugget, "that wasnt nice!"

ashton grabs a couple fries, shoves them in the sauce (making calum gasp) and then shoves them across calums face making the little gasp.

"daddy!"

"sucks, doesn't it?" ashton asks with a smirk. calum just smirks back, which makes ashton frown.

"its on, daddy!"
