♥End Up Here: Lashton AU♥

*5*

Ashton: age 15

Luke: age 14

 Two weeks have passed and Ashton broke down the news to Luke about his dad’s lashing out.

 “Look’s pretty bad,” Luke said eyeing the large purple bruise on Ashton’s side gently touching it.

 “Yeah, but he’s gone now so..” he said frowning.

 “C’mon Ash don’t be like that, even if you look cute pouting,” he said and Ashton laughed then kissed his cheek and ran towards the swings.

Even if their in 8th grade, they still come to the same park where they met. Luke smirked to himself as he ran after Ashton to push him on the swing.

 “Higher!”

 “HIGHER!!”

 “HIGHER!!!!!!”  he yelled to Luke.

 “If I go any higher you’ll reach the moon Ash!” Luke laughed then saw from afar Matt from the first grade, who sadly has enough smarts to pass.

 Luke then felt scared as Ashton started slowing down on the swing, Matt spotted them and threw the football that was in his hand and aimed it at Ashton but then a kid came out of nowhere to stop him.

 “Hey Matt, why don’t you stop being a dick for a minute and enjoy the nice weather yeah?” the Asian looking kid said as another kid who looked weird with his colored hair blocked the punch Matt was going to give him.

 As Luke watched the whole thing unfold he walked up to them.

 “Hey leave them alone Matt!” he yelled then Matt kicked his shin and he felt Ashton’s hand on his.

 “I’m surrounded by fags! I’m out before I catch the disease,” he said then walked off.

 “You alright Lukey?” Ashton asked with fear across his hazel eyes then Luke looked at him with his blue eyes red from the dirt being in them and nodded as Ashton helped him up.

“Um...thanks for your help guys, I’m Ashton and this is my b-friend Luke,” Ashton said almost saying Luke was his boyfriend. Their too young for that kind of label, they like each other, but are they really ready for that kind of commitment?

 Luke must have noticed because his eyes lit up a little bit.

 “I’m Calum and this is Michael, we’re new here so we decided to walk around and saw Matt, who’s sadly my cousin, bother you guys,” Calum said.

 “Yeah well thanks, we should hang sometime,” Luke suggested.

 “Definitely dude, nice shirt,” Michael said pointing to Luke’s Blink-182 shirt.

 “Thanks, so we’ll see you guys around,”

 “Yeah, bye,” then Michael and Calum walked off and Ashton turned to Luke who still looked in pain from the kick Matt gave him.

 “Once again, you’re hurt because of me,” Ashton said sitting next to Luke on the sidewalk watching the cars pass by.

 “Its worth it though, because I know I can protect you from anything, I love you Ashton,” Luke said then blushed realizing what he had said.

 “You love me?”

 “Of course, I always have, since the day we met at those monkey bars,” Luke said and Ashton smiled at him and rested his head on Luke’s shoulder.

 “I love you too Lukey,” Ashton said and sighed.

 “I can’t believe we start high school next month,” Luke said ending the silence.

 “Yeah, seems like just yesterday we we’re six years old playing at this very park,”

 “It’ll be fun though, since we made two more friends we can have our own group and just stick together for the four years, get married, have k-”

 “Slow down Lucas,” Ashton said and Luke smirked.

 “I really do love you,” Ashton said and Luke smiled at him and brought his lips to his placing his hand on his cheek kissing him softly.

 “Would you marry me one day?” Luke asked after they pulled away from each other.

 “Of course,” Ashton said then kissed Luke once more as the sun started to set making the moment more meaningful.
