Kiss You

Michael:

I was awoken by the sound of my phone ringing. My eyes shot open immediately at the sound. I re-closed my eyes and sighed deeply. As the ringing continued, I reached my hand over to the nightstand to blindly search for the noisy device. Without looking at the caller ID, I answered the call and tiredly spoke.

"Hello?" I groaned out, rubbing my eyes.

"Hey, Mike!" Hearing that overly chirpy voice, I easily recognized who the caller was.

"Why'd you call, Ash? You know i'm not a morning person." I complained.

Ashton and I met during my freshmen year of high school. It was my first day and the hyper junior was eager to make new friends. All together, I can truly say that i'm grateful for having Ashton in my life. He's always been there when I've needed him.

"Oh yea, sorry. Um, I was just wondering though if um i could like come over? I want you to meet someone." He sounded nervous, which was very out of character for him.

"Of course, Ash. Just give me time to get ready alright?"

"Yes! Okay, we'll be over in like, i don't know, 2 hours?" He rushed out excitedly.

"Yea, Ash. That's fine." I spoke while chuckling.

"Okay, um..Bye, Mikey!"

"Bye, Ash."

As I ended the call, I stood and stretched my arms above my head. My nights haven't been really sleep filled considering Luke hasn't stayed over for about a week now. I really miss him. Maybe I can call him over later. I sighed. I guess I should probably take a shower. I made my way to the bathroom starting the shower, and stripping from my clothes.

After my shower, I dressed myself in an Iron Maiden bro tank and black skinny jeans. My apartment is kind of a mess right now. This person that Ashton is bringing over seemed pretty important to him so I guess I should at least try to make a good impression.

As I was finishing picking up the living room a bit more, there was a knock at the door. That must be Ashton. When I opened the door, my eyes met those of a nervous boy. Confused, I looked over towards Ashton who also seemed nervous.

"Um hey, Ash." I spoke. I stepped aside so that the two boys could enter.

"Hey, Mikey. Um, this i-is Calum." He introduced me to the seemingly shy boy next to him.

"Hey, Calum, i'm Michael." I held my hand out and he shook it gently, mumbling out a quiet 'Calum'.

Suddenly, Ashton cleared his throat before speaking. "Uh, Michael could i have word right quick?" He asked. I nodded my head and left Calum with a smile.

"What's up, Ash?" I asked when we were out of Calum's ear shot.

"Okay, so there are a couple things about Calum that I really need you to be okay with, okay?" He asked, looking at me with pleading eyes. I squinted my eyes in suspicion but nodded my head for him to continue. "Okay, so um, Calum s-sort of prefers, l-like female clothing." That explains the white skirt and light pink sweater. "And he may also be a prostitute maybe sorta?" He whispered the last part out seeming extremely nervous. I stared blankly at him. Is that all? I guess this makes it easier for when I introduce him to Luke.

"So, does Calum like Pizza?" I asked with a smile. Ashton smiled back, sighing out in relief.

"Thanks so much, Mikey." He breathed out while wrapping his arms around my neck tightly. "You're the best."

When we returned to the living room, I sat in the chair positioned in front of Calum as Ashton took a place next to him. I glanced down as Ashton took hold of Calum's hand. I smiled.

"So, how long have you two been together?" I asked.

"Well, tomorrow actually makes 4 weeks." Ashton explained. I gasped in surprise.

"And you're just now telling me?"

"Well I was kind of nervous. I mean this is the first relationship I've been in where I am completely serious about it. Calum means a lot to me." Ashton's words made Calum's face flush a dark red and he smiled. I think I've found my new OTP. Well, second actually.

Right after me and Luke.
