"Have you guys noticed something... off about Ashton recently?" I asked trying to find the right words to say as I sat on the hotel bed, Calum quickly sat beside me but as soon as Michael had his shoes off he had squeezed his way in between us. I didn't mind and neither did Calum as I started running my hand through his fringe.
"Ya he's been more subdued the last few days" Calum agreed and Michael made some sort of noise of agreement before speaking up.
"D-Do you guys think he's cutting again." His eyes fearful as he thought of Ashton cutting again. I hugged him closer and he snuggled his head in my chest even more. Lately Michael's separation anxiety had been acting up and I didn't have to think hard about what he was thinking about regarding Ashton.
"If he is we'll just have to help him through it." I felt Michael tremble slightly against my chest as I heard the water shut off from the bathroom. I felt Calum rub Michael's back to get him to calm down before Ashton came out.
"If he is cutting he will try and hide it you know" Calum said from beside me I nodded trying to think of ways to figure out if Ashton was harming himself again. I heard Ashton curse from inside the bathroom before he opened the door. His hair was dripping wet and he had on a pair of skinny jeans and a short sleeve shirt but he quickly grabbed a jumper, my jumper, from the chair. Calum and I exchanged a glance and I kissed Michaels head before pushing him softly into Calum's arms. He whimpered slightly from the lose of contact but snuggled into Calum's arms just the same. I got up and walked over to my oldest boyfriend. I quickly hugged him and he hugged back tighter than normal, I kissed his forehead before pulling away. We were going to go for dinner after we cuddle because Michael is having a moment right now. Ashton nodded and started to walk towards the bed but and I followed but tripped over something (probably my legs) and quickly grabbed Ashton's wrist which kept me from falling but as soon as I made contact with his wrist he flinched which didn't go unnoticed by anyone.
"Are you okay?" I asked as tears filled his eyes.
