Lips Of An Angel (Muke/Cashton)

Ch. 2 - Want U Back

"Does he look jealous?" Ashton asks hopefully, pausing the kissing for a moment. Luke glances over towards Michael & Calum, who were sitting at a separate table at Hungry Jacks.

"No" Luke sighs, "He's making out with Michael". Ashton groans and pulls away from Luke to go back to eating his already cold chips.

"This is ridiculous" Ashton mumbles with a mouthful of food, "This is ruining our friendship, I mean look at us, we're sitting at two separate tables".

"Well, if you would rather go sit with them-?" Luke says in confusion.

"They got here after we did and they saw us, yet still sat over there" Ashton points out, pushing his now unappealing chips aside.

"It's not like we had planned to meet them here though" Luke reminds him, trying not to stare at Michael & Calum.

"Ugh-" Ashton groans, rolling his eyes before narrowing them on the two boys making out, "This is a place for eating, not making out".

Luke scoffs, "We were literally making out a minute ago".

"I was trying to see if Calum would notice" Ashton mumbles, pulling himself to his feet, "Come on, let's get out of here".

"Fine" Luke sighs, letting his boyfriend pull him to his feet. As they leave Hungry Jacks, Calum & Michael pull apart to actually eat their food, which Luke was sure had to be cold by now.

"I wasn't looking, did you see the way Calum was looking at me?" Ashton asks desperately once they get outside.

"No" Luke mumbles, "I was watching Michael".

"What was Michael doing?" Ashton asks curiously.

"Eating" Luke says disappointedly, hoping that this was going to be the end of this topic.

"Whatever, let's go back to my house" Ashton suggests, trying to sound cheerful.

"Mike? Are you listening to me?" Calum asks, snapping his fingers in front of Michael's face.

"What? Yeah, I'm listening" Michael lies, returning his gaze towards his boyfriend.

"No you weren't" Calum complains, "You haven't been listening since Luke & Ashton left ten minutes ago".

"Sorry" Michael apologises, picking up a cold chicken nugget out of the box and shoving the whole thing in his mouth, "Comtimnue".

"Don't talk with your mouth full" Calum scolds him.

Frowning at Calum, Michael chews up the chicken nugget and swallows it before saying "Continue".

"Better" Calum rolls his eyes, "Now, I was actually talking about Ashton, I guess I should of mentioned Luke if I'd wanted your attention".

"Why are you talking about Ashton?" Michael asks in confusion, "Are you jealous of Luke or something?".

"No" Calum lies, trying to sound casual, "I was just- never mind".

"Hmm" Michael hums suspiciously, "If you want to go see Ashton, we can. I only suggested we sit here because I thought you'd rather sit alone".

"Wouldn't bother me" Calum mumbles, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess I'll send him a text and see if he & Luke want to hang out" he adds, unlocking his phone.

"M'kay" Michael hums, taking a bite of his last chicken nugget as he stares of into space.

"He said we can come over in half an hour" Calum says a few minutes later, snapping Michael's attention back to reality.
