Inhumanly Handsome {Muke/Cashton}

He's no friend of mine.

AN/ This is still in Ashton's pov :D 

“What do you want!” Calum growls into his phone.

“I’m at the Hemmings house.” Calum says.

“Luke fainted, I needed to help him home.” Calum says, he sounds strained as he says it, like he wanted to lie but he couldn’t.

“Michael – don’t…” Calum got cut off by the line going dead and like a few seconds later the door downstairs slammed shut. Michael walked into the room like he owned the place and took in the scene in front of him.

“What’s going on?” Michael asked.

“None of your business.” Calum muttered.

“It IS my business Calum when my housemate leaves school to take some kid we hardly know home!” Michael hisses.

“He’s not just some kid Michael, he’s our friend!” Calum snaps at Michael, sort of like a bark.

“He’s no friend of mine.” Michael says, he sniffs and then turns to Luke.

“He’s sweating like a pig.” Michael mutters, I shrug and keep running my hand through his hair.

“He does that, it just means he’s not ready to wake up yet. He’ll cool down when his body has relaxed.” I huff, didn’t actually move at all while he was out cold, he just sweated like his body was working overtime while actually it was doing nothing.

Michael walked over to the other side of Luke’s bed, Luke had his bed in the middle of his room, because he liked it like that. Michael sat down and placed a hand on Luke’s head, I was going to smack Michaels hand and tell him to get away but the way Michael was looking Luke over seemed almost soothing to see. Michael gently ran his fingers up Luke’s bare arms since Luke was wearing a tank. Luke got goosebumps at the touch and Michael just simply kept moving his fingers up and down softly.

“What are you doing Michael?” Calum asks out of nowhere, pulling me out of my trance. Michael’s head snaps up at Calum and he actually hisses at the boy. Calum stands up and basically jumps over the bed, he smacks a hand over Michaels mouth and cringes at something.

“Luke is my friend Michael, you should leave.” Calum whispers to Michael, Calum winches but then smiles a little as Michael nods slowly.

“He’ll be up in like half an hour.” Michael says, he looks down at Luke one more time before leaving without another word.

Calum pushed his hands into his jeans pockets and then he smiles at me.

“I should go with Michael, find some dinner to eat.” Calum says, he looks over at Luke apologetically.

“Sure, you go see to your friend as I see to mine. Bye Calum and thanks again.” I tell him, he shrugs.

“It’s ok, really.” He mutters, then he turns around and leaves.

I sit there with Luke and just like Michael said, half an hour later he stirred and woke up.

“Goddamnit Luke! You fricking scared me!” I yell, pulling him in for a hug.

“I’m sorry.” Luke mutters, he hugs me tightly and then starts crying.

“Wow there Luke, what’s a matter?” I ask him, he just shrugs.

“I feel like crying is all.” Luke whispers, normally people would keep asking because there’s no way you just simply feel like crying but when Luke woke up after fainting he does whatever his body wants to do and his body needed to cry so that’s what he was doing. Last time he had a massive craving for salad when he woke up. Yeah that was probably the weirdest one.

“How did I get home?” Luke asks me when he’s done crying.

“Calum carried you, he was here for a while too.” I tell him, he nods and then sits up.

“Let’s go get something to drink!” Luke says happily but before he could go I pulled him back down onto the bed.

“Tell me what freaked you out.” I say to him, holding onto his hand tighly.

“M-Michael.” He whispers, I could tell he didn’t want to talk about it so I nodded and let him go. He’d tell me in his own time.

“Luke!” Liz says happily as she sees Luke walk in, he goes up to her and hugs her then he apologizes. Liz doesn’t ask him why he fainted because I gave her the ‘Don’t talk about it’ look.

We went over to my house after that, it’s not like we were all worried about his health or anything, we’d been dealing with this for years, we can’t help it when it happens and nothing if wrong with him really. It’s just like a fight or flight reflex, his body choices flight. As long as he doesn’t hit his head on his way down then he’s fine and he’ll always be fine.

After that day Michael didn’t show up for school for like a week, Luke asked about him every morning and Calum just said he’d got some kind of bug and he was getting better. Luke didn’t trust it though and I could tell Calum was lying. Did Michael not like Luke and I? But why skip school for that instead of just ignoring Luke and I in school? Calum did come over to dinner that one night but he didn’t talk about Michael, he didn’t talk about how Michael and him ended up here or about his or Michaels families. 

AN/ aww Michael was being nice for a while!!! Why would the 'look' Michael gave Luke be 'soothing'? Ashton you're so weird to think that :p Why did Michael agree to leave after Calum told him to? WHY was Michael mad at Calum for helping Luke? HOW did Michael know when Luke was going to wake up? Why is Michael suddenly 'sick' for a whole week? and oooh Calum doesn't want to talk about his and Michael's past?
