Calum was fidgeting on the whole ride to Ashton's house. He was nervous about meeting anyone else, though it didn't take him long to get used to Luke, Ashton, and Michael. But adults are different. His encounters with adults have never been good.

The ride there was shorter than Calum had hoped for it to be. He was playing with the bracelets under his sweater sleeves as the car began to slow down to a stop in front of a two story grey house.

Luke noticed the nervous actions and kissed his cheek softly. "It's okay, Calum. Alex and Jack are extremely nice and I'm sure they'll adore you," he tried to reassure the nervous boy.

Calum nodded and grabbed Luke's hand. Luke squeezed it and opened the car door to step out, gently tugging Calum along with him.

Ashton turned to them and looked over to Calum. He could also see the nervousness in the raven haired boy's eyes. He waited for them to catch up with him and Michael at the stairs to the front door.

"Are you ready Calum? They're really nice I swear," he told the boy honestly.

Calum only grabbed Luke's hand tighter and pressed himself against him more. He nodded slowly and bit his lip.

"Don't worry love. You don't even have to talk if you don't want to okay," Michael added.

The smaller boy nodded his head again and took a deep breath. He knew he had to meet them now. There was no turning back. Plus Ashton seemed so excited about Calum meeting his guardians (since he didn't have real parents) and he couldn't disappoint a boy who had already done so much for him despite only knowing him for about two days.

They all slowly walked up the stairs and Ashton pulled out his key, unlocking the door and letting them all inside.

"Ashton you idiot! Is that you?! You haven't been home in nearly three days! Where the hell have you be- Oh... hey guys and new friend. Ashton who's this?" one man with blondish brownish hair said. Another taller guy walked up behind him.

"Yeah Ash, who is this new friend of yours? Or boyfriend I don't know?" the tall one with black hair asked.

Calum bit his lip shyly and pressed himself further into Luke's side. Ashton saw the action and spoke up for him.

"Guys, this is Calum. He's really really shy and doesn't talk much. He barely says anything at all until he trusts you, so don't say or do anything stupid around him. Anyway, Calum this is Alex, the shorter one, and Jack, the one with dark hair. Alex and Jack, this is Calum," Ashton introduced.

Alex and Jack both smiled timidly at Calum. Calum bit his lip and gave them a tiny wave with his sweater covered hand, gripping onto Luke.

"Hey it's fine Calum. We don't bite. Only Ashton sometimes, but that's only when he's being irritating," the one named Alex joked.

It made Calum smile shyly and nod, loosening his grip on Luke a little.

"He's adorable, Ash. Found yourself another keeper," Jack commented making both Ashton and Calum blush brightly.

"Oh.. um.. we aren't dating. Though I do hope we can one day. I like him a lot," Ashton admitted, making Calum go even redder.

"Awww that's sweet. I hope so too," Jack said, placing his hands over his heart dramatically.

Ashton rolled his eyes at the two. "Whatever. We're going up to my room. I'm sorry for not coming home in a while," he said, walking up to each man and hugging him tightly.

"It's fine Ashton. We get that you like spending time with your boyfriends okay? We aren't mad," Alex promised.

Ashton kissed each of their cheeks and nodded. "Thank you. I love you guys," he said.

"Yeah yeah. We love you too," both guys said at the same time causing Ashton to smile sweetly at them.

"Alright guys, come on. We have to show Calum around," Ashton announced, leading them up the stairs and into his room.

They entered and Calum took in the setting. It was similar to Michael's room, but this room's main color pattern was navy blue and black.

There was a large bed in the center pushed back against the navy blue poster covered walls with a blue and white striped comforter on top.

There was a desk in one corner with a MacBook Air sitting atop it. In the other was a chest of drawers and picture frames were sitting at the very top of it.

The room overall was very plain but also had a home-like feeling. Calum absolutely loved it. His own room at his house doesn't even feel as homey and comfortable as this.

Calum felt arms wrap around him from behind and he turned in the person's arms.

"So... this is my room. Do you like it?" Ashton asked.

Calum nodded and wrapped his arms around the curly haired boy's neck to stand on his toes and kiss his cheek.

"It's r-really nice h-here. I-I li-like it," he whispered shyly.

Ashton smiled down at him and kissed his nose. "I'm glad you like it. It's not much, but it's my home and I love it a lot," Ashton admitted. "Plus I decorated myself... not to brag or anything," he joked.

Calum giggled and instantly turned red upon the sound escaping his lips. His giggle was so horrible.

"Aww that was cute!" Luke said from where he was sitting in Michael's lap on the bed. He had been watching the two the whole time and couldn't get over how adorable they acted together.

Both boys blushed and smiled shyly at each other. Ashton grabbed Calum's hand and dragged him to the bed to sit with the other two.

"So are we staying here tonight or going back to Michael's house?" Ashton asked. "I really want to stay."

"We can stay here, Ashy. We know you haven't been home in a while," Michael answered for all of them.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, enjoying each other's presence, when Jack popped his head into the room.

"Hey guys. Alex and I are leaving and we didn't know how long you were gonna be here or if you were staying, so we left money on the table for pizza and anything else. Be nice and don't do anything sexual," he said and glared at them all jokingly before leaving the room.

Ashton rolled his eyes and giggled at Jack's playfulness. He didn't know what he would do without Alex and Jack.

"Alright. Somebody order the pizza. I'm hungry," Michael announced causing everyone to laugh as his stomach rumbled and Luke to get up and grab the phone.

They could all tell, tonight wasn't going to be like last night.

Tonight every thing would finally be okay....
