My Fairytale Punk (lashton)

He just wants to help???

After a few minutes both of us had calmed down, and Calum was pulling up in front of Luke's house. I kept my arm securely wrapped around his waist until he had his balance. I helped him up to his house and as we entered he yelled out letting his mom know we were home. I helped him to his room and sat him on the bed. "Do you need anything," I asked gently I really didn't want him pushing me away, but I understood that he may need time to think about everything from today. "Umm can you maybe hand me some shorts and a shirt from the top drawer," he asked quietly point to a small chest in the corner of the room. I smiled and ruffled through the drawer finding a pair of black basketball shorts and a simple grey top. I handed them to him helping him balance as he changed into the shorts. He quickly turned around before changing shirts, and then drug himself onto his oversized bed. I watched in awe as he curled up on the huge bed. He looked so small and fragile all I wanted to do was wrap my arms around him and keep him safe. "Uh A-ashton," his perfect voice broke my thoughts. "Yeah bub what's up" I asked as I sat next him on the bed brushing his now flattened blonde hair off his forehead. "Uh c-can you stay with me please" he whispered making his blue eyes almost to the point of tears begging me to stay. I smiled pulling my shoes off before climbing next to him. I carefully wrapped my arms around him as he snuggled into my chest.  This, this right here was the perfect moment. I was genuinely happy, Luke was peaceful. Life couldn't get any better.

Luke's POV

I couldn't help but snuggle into Ashton, something about him made me feel safe. Maybe it was how much stronger he was or the confidence he had I don't know, but it was an amazing feeling. Feeling like he would protect me from the world. Like as long as he was here, with his arms around me I was safe. Nothing could hurt me, not even myself. I allowed myself to melt into Ashton's embrace hoping that he would keep his promise.

*a few days later

I woke up from a mid afternoon nap stunned when a pair of arms pulled me back as I tried to sit up. Ashton quietly whispered to me "bub its OK, its just me. You're mom called me out of school because she's leaving for a few days and is having me stay and keep an eye on you.." While nuzzling his face into my back. I forced a small grin on my face as I turned in his arms and buried my face in his neck. So many emotions were flying through my mind it was overwhelming and i couldn't stop the whimper that escaped my throat. I always felt the worst right after I woke up, because reality was a total bitch slap to the face, and mind was open to everything bad. "Lukey, shhhh. I'm here, you're OK." Ashton cooed as he gently rubbed my back. "H-hey ash" I whispered. "Yeah bub" he questioned back pushing my fringe out of my face. "W-what are w-we" I asked him nervously looking anywhere but his eyes. He gently cupped my face stroking his thumb across my cheek. "Well Id like to be boyfriends, but I don't know if you're ready so for now were just super close friends who cuddle a lot" he whispered back placing a gentle kiss on my forehead "and maybe kiss every once in a while" he giggled.  I relaxed in his arms for a few minutes until my stomach made some ungodly sound signalling I was hungry. I buried my face in his chest as I felt my cheeks burn from the obvious blush. "Hehe c'mon lukey let's get you something to eat him," Ashton said calmly. I nodded still trying to hide my face.  He giggled a bit before pulling me up with him. And guiding me to the kitchen. "So what do you want bud" he chirped as he began looking through my kitchen. "Just some toast my stomach doesn't feel that good right now," I quickly mumbled. That's a lie my stomach feels fine I just can't eat... I refuse to. I'm too fat. I see his face fall a bit before he mutters an OK.

We laughed and joked as we waited for the toast, and then Ashton spread some Vegemite on both our prices before passing me mine on a small napkin. I made sure to take small bites knowing if I tried to full on eat it I would be sick. I had somehow managed to eat the entire price, and excused myself before hobbling to the bathroom. I immediately sunk to the floor gagging as my stomach churned and flipped. A moment later I was gagging as my food came flooding back out. As I finished I sat back letting out a small sigh. Until I saw Ashton's figure standing in the doorway with concern and possibly anger in his eyes.
