Infatuation (Muke)

"You alright?"

It's been a week since Michael was released from the hospital. It didn't take long for him to start walking normal again but his mood swings were still bad and Luke was the only person who could keep him calm. He had troubles focusing and remembering things, just the smallest things like the pizza in the oven, and forgetting to put his shoes on before leaving the house. Luke thought it was cute and would just giggle at him, even though Michael got frustrated about most of the shit.

Luke decided to take a break from hanging out with Mike and met up with Ashton, they drove to the park where they went to elementary school together. Ashton was awfully quiet on the ride over so Luke figured to ask

"What's up with you?"

Ashton started swaying back and forth on the swing set "What do you mean?"

Luke sat on the swing beside him but didn't move it "You just seem.. tense"

Ashton stopped swinging and turned to Luke looking him in the eyes "Okay, I need to talk to you about something well not really talk, I want to say my opinion about something"

Luke took a deep breath "Is it about me and Michael?"

Ashton shook his head "No it's not about you and Michael, it's about you. You never ask to hangout with me anymore, it's like now that you have a boyfriend.. We're not friends anymore"

Luke scoffed "Yeah, just like you when you met Emily"

"Thats different" Ashton said loudly turning his head away.

Luke stood up "How? Just because I'm dating a guy? Are you really not okay with me being gay?"

Ashton stood up and glared "Fuck come on Luke, you're not gay! You dated Ashley for a fucking year, A YEAR. You dated so many girls back in elementary school"

"Yeah that was back then, I have feelings for a guy now! Why can't you just accept that?" Luke was hurt.

Ashton laughed sarcastically and began walking to his car "Its just a phase Luke, you're using Michael to get over Ashley"

Luke ran up behind Ash and pushed him "Fuck you! You don't know how I feel!" 

Ashton turned around and raised his eyebrow "Did you seriously just push me? What the fuck has gotten into you?"

Luke stood up straight "I thought you were my best friend, if you really were you'd accept me for who I am"

Ashton walked towards Luke, keeping his eyes locked onto his "This is not who you are Luke!"

Luke let out a loud exasperated groan and began walking away, Ashton ran up to him and yelled "You miss Ashley still and I know it! Michael is just something to help you forget, You'll feel bad for using him, I know you Luke. Just end it before one of you gets hurt again."

Luke turned around and violently pushed Ashton so he fell on the ground "I like Michael. I hate Ashley. Either you accept it or we're not friends anymore."

Ashton looked up at him and screamed "FINE! DONT COME CRYING TO ME WHEN MICHAEL CHEATS ON YOU OR PUSHES YOU OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE"

Luke was raging and without thinking he kicked Ashton in the ribs a few times "HE DIDNT FUCKING PUSH ME"

He walked away quickly shaking with tears building in his eyes, left Ashton laying on the ground coughing.

I can't believe I just did that to my best friend.. I can't believe he won't accept me being gay. What if he's right? What if I'm not really over Ashley.. I really do like Michael but what if it is just a phase? Luke fell against a tree a few blocks away from the school and cried for probably a good half an hour.
