Ashton's managed to evade the public eye for the most part after his turbulent exit from Hollywood years ago, only to be dragged back into the spotlight all for a long owed favour, that favour?

Ashton had been steadfastly avoiding Luke for a solid two weeks. It'd worked out well for him since Luke had interviews left, right, and centre after his new single and live show.
Being the nosy person he was he'd of course tuned into the radio shows whether by choice or not, he found that he was apparently a masochist in the sense that he loved to listen to Lukes voice and his comments about how they were a happy couple enjoying their 'honeymoon phase.' When in reality they were anything but that.
It was a Thursday night and he was sat surrounded by cushions and duvets, a bowl of ice cream nestled in his lap as he watched some shitty soap on tv. Ashton was startled by the sound of keys turning in the lock and his whole body froze up, he wasn't expecting anyone.
He dare not move and kept his eyes on the turning door handle, he was about ready to leap up and tackle whoever was about to break in - or lawfully trespass?
His worry was very quickly squashed when he met the eyes of his best friend, his blonde hair sticking up madly in every direction, it was so beautifully Michael.
He was up and out of his chair, grinning in an instant, meeting Michael in a bone crushing hug in the middle of his living room. He wrapped his arms around Michael and span him round a few centimetres off the floor, it was all he could manage with Michaels abnormally long legs.
"Okay- okay! Put me down you freak!" The pair dissolved into fits of laughter as Michael was set back on the ground. Michael ruffled his messy hair and caught Ashtons gaze, his brow furrowed at the sight of tears in his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe the stray tear from Ashtons cheek.
"fuck- I'm just.. god I'm just so happy to see you man." Ashton breathed out a sigh of relief, feeling as though he could finally breathe again now that Michael was with him. The latter man soon felt tears of his own welling up,
"I'm happy to be back." Michael grabbed his best friends shoulder and pulled him back into another hug, one that lasted longer and felt heavier in another way.
"Now, you've got some explaining to do.." Michael mumbles into Ashtons shoulder.
"I know, I know."

Ashton and Michael fell back into a routine as if they'd never been apart and Ashton quite liked the predictability of it in comparison to the wildfire that Luke seemed to be.
