Luke and the Boy Next Door | Muke

::Chapter 3::

"I can't believe I'm stuck living next to him again." I grumbled into Ashton's shoulder. I was ranting about Michael and Ashton would occasionally nod along and agree, but he was more focused on what his roommate was saying while chugging down a few beers.

As much as I loved Ashton, he never paid much attention to me when something is bothering me or when I'm ranting about my problems. He told me once they're childish things to worry about, that whatever is stressing me out won't matter in a few years.

Maybe he's right, but all I want is him to listen. I don't have anyone else to vent to, except maybe Calum but just lectures me on being nicer to more people.

I listen to Ashton's problems when he complains about people from work or his band members. But god forbid I complain about someone from school or Michael.

I sighed before snuggling closer into Ashton's side, he wrapped his arm around me before placing a kiss on my forehead and continuing his conversation with his roommate Noah.

My eyes were glued to the TV in front of me, I don't watch much TV unless it's a movie or on Netflix since my parents don't want to pay for cable. So whenever I was over at Ashton's he'd always have some strange show playing and I'd watch it like it was so big deal.

My attention was drawn from the TV and over to Noah who was talking to me. "Do you want a beer?" He asked me, and like always I looked at him until he realized I'm still not old enough. You'd think being over here all the time he'd remember I'm only 16. "Oh right, forgot Ashton's little boyfriend is basically jailbait."

"Shut up, Noah." Ashton sneered. "He's my baby boy, and it's not like we do anything illegal. We know our boundaries." I could feel my cheeks heating, Ashton had a smug smirk on his face signaling my blush was very noticeable.

"Sure you do."

Ashton grumbled. "We do. Now shut up before I lock you out of our apartment for the night."

I cowered into Ashton's side some more, his roommate is an ass and everyone who's met him knows, but he helps pay the rent and keeps Ashton from having to live alone, and that's all Ashton really cares about when it comes to having an apartment.

Thankfully Noah grumbled a goodbye toward our general direction before heading to his room.

Pulling me closer, Ashton smiled down at me. "You coming to the show tomorrow?"

"Of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world." I beamed, a smile spreading across my face.

"Good, because I've been working on this new song and I want you to hear it. I think you'll really like it."

"Will you pick me up? You know how my parents are with me taking the bus at night."

"I wouldn't let my baby go out alone." Ashton smirked before tickling my sides knowing how ticklish I was. I was trying to squirm out of his grip and trying not to fall off the couch at the same time, but his grip on me wasn't letting me go anywhere.

"You're so cute." He stated, before pressing kisses all across my face until he captured my lips into a heated kiss. "And you're all mine."
