"Don't touch me." Ashton spoke when Luke stared at him and he knew exactly what was on his mind.
"Its not like you can stop me."
"Yes I can." Ashton stood up from the small stair he was sitting on. He felt better today and he was even able to walk around in the house and explore Luke's house for a bit. When he felt the burn sensation again, he left the house to sit outside and ended up on the small stair of the Luke's porch, relaxing with the cold air.
"I'de love to see that." Luke took a step closer and made Ashton take one back until he realized he is proving Luke just what he is thinking.
He stood his ground and when Luke kept getting closer he stood still, until they were infront of each other and Ashton noticed how tall Luke was.
He took a deep breathe and then launched at him, sending them both to the ground. All Luke wanted was Ashton to finally lose it and let his powers out but Ashton was always too afraid and was restraining himself. Luke let him tackle him to the ground and then punch him but it didn't hurt and he wanted Ashton to put more strength in it.
"Is this all you got?" Luke teased and Ashton punched him in the chest and then face the hardest he can.
Luke flipped them around and pinned Ashton to the grass, holding both of his wrists above his head. He leaned to his neck and made Ashton fight harder against his grip. Luke could feel his heart quicken and the excitement in his veins only increased.
Befor he could place his lips on Ashton's warm neck, Ashton broke free from his grasp and pushed him off. Luke was stunned but not because Ashton broke free, it was because he used his real strength and Luke felt it. The warm started vibrating from his body and so as the panic, filling his eyes.
Luke pulled him to stand and focused him by slapping his cheek.
"Focuse kid, this isn't hard."
Ashton stared down at his palms and took in a deep breath, feeling the warmth refusing to cool down and the way it floated his body.
"Attack, run, anything to use that energy, just don't shut it down."
Ashton bite his lips and then struggled again with himself. He didn't want to do this, he didn't want to devolp those powers. He restrained himself but this time it was stronger then him and it caused him to throw up.
He kneeled and throwed up water mixed with blood, that was the only thing in his system.
"You almost had it." Luke sighed and passed his fingers in his hair.
By the time Ashton was done, his body came back to normal and turned weak again. He hated those attacks, he hated how he felt helpless against them, not being able to do anything.
His clothes and face were stained with blood and he fell backwards, staring at the blue skies that already started turning grey.
"Now you really have to take a shower." Luke kneeled beside him.
"Ashton." He waved with his hands in Ashton's face but all Ashton did was to blink.
"I'm not fucking carrying you, get up." Luke shoke him.
Ashton didn't react to anything and just kept staring at skies. His body slowly turned numb and he ignored Luke despite hearing him.
Luke pulled him to sit and then throwed him over his shoulder, taking him into the house. Ashton gripped the back of Luke's shirt while feeling the blood slowly going up to his head. Luke walked into the house and to the bathroom.
He ducked furward in order to place Ashton's legs on ground and then released Ashton from his grip, making Ashton release his shirt.
"Take off your clothes and get into the shower. At least just wash yourself."
When Ashton just stared at him, he opened the water
"There's hot water in here, unlike the shelve." Luke glanced at him.
"I'm going out now." Luke stood by the door and looked seriously at Ashton who just stared back. Luke left the bathroom and closed the door after him.
He walked into the kitchen and waited for Ashton to be done.
But he heard every movement and beside breathing, Ashton didn't make a move.
Luke cursed under his breath and for a second considered kicking him out but he knew he wouldn't be able to stop feeding from him.
He climbed back upstairs and burst into the bathroom. He didn't say a word to Ashton, he simply pulled him to stand and pulled the shirt above his head.
"Stop." Ashton mumbled but Luke wasn't in the mood and he soon unbuttoned Ashton's pants. Ashton held the waistband but he couldn't really put strength in it and Luke pulled them down easily.
"I'm not kidding, you.."
"I'm what?" Luke looked at him.
"You can't do that, just get out."
"I gave you a fucking chance," Luke shot as he opened the water again and filled the bath.
At that moment, Ashton thanked god for wearing a briefe underwear and not a tight boxer, not that Luke cared though, he always found humans worthless and he was never attracted to them. He couldn't understand why others found pleasure in having sex or even fool around with a human being, beside the blood there's nothing else Luke finds in them.
"I mean it, get out." Ashton's voice was quieter this time.
"I mean it too, get into the tub."
"I'm not doing this." Ashton shoke his head.
"You're wearing underwear, just get over it."
"I'll shower okay?" Ashton looked aside.
"Are you scared?" Luke turned to look at him.
"No."
"You're scared." Luke chuckled when he realized why Ashton refused to get into the tub.
"I just said I'm not."
"I'm not into humans anyway, so relax."
"I can still shower on my own-" Ashton started but then pain attacked him again and he leaned forward to vomite more blood.
Luke waited for him to be done and then led him into the bathtub, Ashton slowly sinked into the hot water and sat down, still wearing his underwear.
Ashton kept his head down and his curls fell on his eyes, he felt stupid and ashamed, and he couldn't bring himself to look at Luke at that moment.
Luke didn't touch him because he refused to cross his own boundaries and shower a human boy. He kneeled and watched Ashton, knowing if he'll leave again Ashton won't make a move. He stared at the scar that rested on the side of his pale stomach, its not like his bones were sticking out but Ashton was thin and he definitely needed more food.
"What happened there?" Luke motioned with his head to the scar on Ashton's side.
"One of the guards wanted to teach me a lesson."
"And did you learned?"
"No."
"Take this," Luke handed him the soap, "Clean yourself."
Ashton rubbed his chest and arms and then the legs, washing them all with the filled water. He closed his eyes and rubbed his face hard with the soap.
After he was done with his hair, he stood and Luke gave him a towel.
"Stay here, I'll bring you clothes." Luke spoke and Ashton felt even colder under the fact Luke was staring at him.
He nodded and Luke left the bathroom.
He gave Ashton a pair of boxers, pants and a long T-shirt.
"I'm waiting for you to get out." Ashton spoke when Luke stayed in the room.
Luke rolled his eyes but left the bathroom, letting Ashton remove his underwear and wear the clothes he gave him. He stepped outside and Luke watched as he made his way out slowly. The clothes were lightly big on him and it made him look younger.
He looked tired, just like everytime he had his powers burst upon him.
Ashton made his way to the living room and laid on the couch, closing his eyes and falling asleep within seconds.
