Punks Meet Flower Crowns >> Lashton AU ✔️

110. ~ Wring

Note: I'm lazy and half-asleep and ready to just drown myself in warm water and eat jell-o and flan with the six kitties outside my house and I don't know where this is supposed to go but I'm updating so be happy.

Oh, and I'm dancing inside my mind cuz PMFC is at 46k reads so yay but I'm tired so I'm just dancing inside my mind. Peace out.

Time: 12:08 pm.

Setting: Starbucks Coffee.

Michael: You're not with Ashton today?

Luke: (raises eyebrow) He has other friends, y'know?

Michael: I know that but the two of you have been attached at the hip...pretty much, since you got back from Australia.

Luke: We've been working things out.

Michael: So have you boned him, yet, or what?

Luke: (chokes on air, coughs, glaring at Michael) Fuck you.

Michael: (smirking) That's what I'm asking about you and Ashton.

Luke: We're not even dating, arsehole.

Michael: Still don't see the problem.

Luke: (sighs) It's not that simple. Ashton is still coming to terms with things. I can't just push him. (muttering) The last time I tried, it ended up really fucked.

Michael: (knowing) You want to, though.

Luke: (deep breath, biting his lip) I'd be crazy not to. He's beautiful.

Michael: Can I ask you something?

Luke: Go for it.

Michael: How can you be so patient with him? Like, don't you have needs and stuff like that? How can you be with someone who might just keel over and die when you two do the do.

Luke: (blinks) I love him. A lot. And if what Ashton needs is patience and someone to wait for him then that's exactly what I'll do.

Michael: (awed) Wow.

Luke: Relationships aren't about sex or kissing. It's about two people who mutually love each other and will always consider the needs of the other before doing or asking for anything. Yeah, I'm not able to kiss him any time I want but Ashton's not going to go around kissing anyone else, either. We both care about each other's feelings and we aren't going to do anything to hurt what we have.

Michael: (nods in understanding) Well, when you put it like that. I guess, I get it. (hesitant) What's it like being gay?

Luke: (serious tone) Like being straight but with more dicks and arseholes.

Michael: You're an arse.

Luke: (correcting him) I'm just better acquainted with them than you are.

Michael: I hate you. (pouts)

Luke: (chuckles) Don't tell me you're jumping ships.

Michael: (muttering) Considering it.

Luke: (shocked) You're serious?

Michael: (blushing) So what if I am?

Luke: (calmly) Then, that's your decision.

Michael: I don't even know if I am. (shy) I was just thinking of trying it out or something.

Luke: (pointedly) Being gay isn't a pair of jeans you try on and take off. It's a lifestyle. (easily) But, it's your life. Might as well figure it out.

Michael: I've never kissed a guy, though. Wanna try it out.

Luke: (sarcastic) I am not an option. Just saying.

Michael: (glaring) I wasn't referring to you. (blushing) Um...

Luke: (smirking) Calum, then.

Michael: He's straight.

Luke: (snorts) So were you, like, five minutes ago.

Michael: He's got a girlfriend.

Luke: They broke up last week. Just tell him you're exploring your identity or whatever it's called.

Michael: I am not asking Calum.

Luke: (shrugs) It was just a suggestion.

Michael: (insistent) I'm not even attracted to him.

Luke: Duly noted.

Michael: (silent for several moments, blushing) He's kinda hot, though.

QOTD: What do you think about Luke's definition of relationships? Is it reflected in his actions and words?

Note: I will try to do another update or summat. But I'm tired and sleepy and I'm at work and hate work and I'm working on my other stories and I'm using a lot of the word 'and' but screw everything I passed all my English classes with a 'A'. Good night (it's afternoon), my lovelies. I will try cuz I love you (yeah, I'm really random and grumpy when I'm sleepy sowwi).
