Luke Hugged Him Back Just As Tightly And He Heard Micheal Whisper 'Friends.' {Muke Clemmings}

Chapter 13: Getting What You Want and Believing.

The chilly fall air nipped at Ashton's nose. He had decided to just stop by Luke's rather than texting. He figured that it should be okay because honestly Luke doesn't really have much going on in his life. Perks of being the best friend was that he knew the weird schedules and everything. He hoped that everything at home was fine with the pup and the cat. Ashton just assumed because of how well they got along that it would be. Ashton rounded the ally by Luke's apartment and sped up his steps.

It was super cold, and it wasn't like there was sun to help things because it's 10 at night. Ashton wanted to be in the safe warmth of Luke's apartment. Ashton figured that Luke would have made dinner for himself already and that he could steal his left overs. Ashton fumbled up the stairs with heavy feet, man sometimes walking everywhere in a busy city took a toll of you. When he finally reached Luke's door he felt like he could rejoice, he raised his hand to knock on the door.

It took longer than usual and he heard voices inside, huh that was weird why was there two? Ashton just waited patiently while he heard a muffled, "Hey Mikey, can you get that it's probably the pizza." And now Ashton was super confused. When the door swung open his hazel eyes met familiar vibrant green ones. A look of shock replaced the old looks on both of the boys faces. And while on one boy called Luke the other was trying to place the green eyes.

"Shit, Ash, um what are ya doing here?" Ashton watched Luke nervously rub the back of his neck. "Come in Ash you must be fucking freezing." Now that was the mystery boy talking. Ashton just shot the pink haired boy a wary look while stepping inside. Both of the boys stared at the elder nervously when he took his coat and shoes off, their stares burning into his back. Ashton decided to let them linger in it while strolling into the living room, of course the other boys followed.

"So Lukey boy, the answer to your question is I wanted to come talk in person rather text. And now it's your turn for a question, who is this dude and why does he act like he knows me when in fact I haven't even met him before? Hmmm? Cos you kno' I'm really tired of finding surprises at your door." Ashton gave a slight giggle to release the tension but he still was partly angry. Like who the fuck was this guy. Luke cleared his throat awkwardly, Ashton could tell that he was nervous, big time.

Ashton just propped his feet up on Luke's couch waiting for an answer that none of them seem to know how to supply. When a knock at the door sounded again both boys ran for it, Ashton just scuffed at the actions. He heard harsh whispers between the boys and Michael carried the delivery to the kitchen. "So um Ash, would you rather hear the full truth or the pretty close to the truth but not so much version?" Ashton rolled his eyes, "Luke don't try to pull that bull shit on me, by the way where's Mikey?"

"I'm right here Ash, duh." Ashton was now super lost in translation at this point. "Oh shit, sorry Luke forgot about the whole 'he doesn't know' factor." And now it was Ashton's turn to spit out "Tell me everything, right now. Luke don't make me fucking go there cos I will." Ashton didn't want to use that against Luke right now but what other choice did he have. Luke whimpered when he caught on to what Ashton was saying. Ashton could feel himself smirk when he was met with pleading eyes and flushed cheeks.

'Mikey' just looked confused through the whole interaction. And shocked when he saw Luke's whole demeanor change. "Shit, fuck okay yeah I'll tell you Ash. Just please don't Ashy. Please please please don't. So um this is Michael, and like he's my boyfriend and my kitten. Like he's Mikey and like he's been living with me as both a cat and in his other form. Um he's a shifter so yeah." Ashton could tell that his threat had short circuited Luke's brain, making things come out jumbled.

But how was Ashton supposed to believe that the pink haired boy was a 'shifter' like what the fuck even was that? "Um I guess I'll take over from here, seems blondie over here can't spit out a sentence for some reason. So I know this sounds totally ridiculous but it's true. I am in fact a shifter and so is one of my very close friends." For some reason a smirk was thrown in there and Ashton didn't quite understand that, "I have been like this for basically my whole life and so has my friend. And if I must, like with Luke, I will show you myself."

Ashton probably looked like a fish out of water when the boy actually said he could prove it. He just nodded his head not trusting his vocal cords to be cooperative right now. The pink haired boy just stood up and started taking off his clothing. Ashton glanced to Luke seeing if the boy was okay with his 'boyfriend' stripping. But Luke still looked in a daze from everything. Ashton looked back at the other boy before he saw something he would have never expected.

It was quick, like a flash of lightening in the sky. One second there was a 6 foot something boy standing in front of him and there there was nothing but a little cute tiny ball of fur. Also known as the famous grumpy kitten Mikey. The kitten walked over to Luke to be petted and stroked until the it was purring. And it wasn't until Luke cradled him in his hands and brought him over to Ashton that the boy could actually believe. In his hands sat not only a tiny cute kitten but Luke's boyfriend and man, could his life get any fucking weirder? He hoped not.
