As soon as he got home, Luke went to his room ignoring his mom's calls to talk to her. He threw his bag to the floor and sat on his secretary with nothing but a pen and a paper.


"Luke, I was talking to you!" his mom said, stepping inside the room.

"Mom I'm sorry, okay? I'm kinda busy right now."

"I doubt there are more important things than talking to grandma."

"Mom I promise I will talk to her later, I really have to do this. It's important."


His mom sighed and leaned against the door, she nodded and walked away wishing him good luck.

Luke looked down at the empty paper and sighed. What could he possibly do to make Ashton smile? He barely knows him, he can't just go ask what he likes - that would be creepy! Searching on the internet was the last option he would choose. It had to be spontaneous and something he thought, not somethig random he found on the internet. If he was going to see Ashton's ethereal smile then he had to work hard for it.

He sat there for hours, not knowing what to write. It was stressing and he didn't know where to get help.


"Dinner is ready!" his dad called from the kitchen and Luke got up. The small boy walked to the kitchen and everyone was at the table already.


The dinner was the usual: his parents were watching the news and talking about whatever it was showing while his two brothers (Ben and Jack) were eating in silence. Jack had his phone under the table hoping that his parents didn't notice it. Luke wasn't actually hungry, school had been giving him anxiety and the Ashton thing doesn't get out of his head - he can't stand see the boy with bruises and tear strained cheeks most days, it kills him. But to make him smile?


''Mom?'' Luke called, his voice going up due to puberty.


''Yes?'' Liz answered, turning her head to pay attention to her son.


''What makes you smile?'' Luke asked, he looked down blushing. It was a weird question but he needed help.


''Well, when I read a letter or a message from someone who cares and likes me I smile because it's nice.'' Liz answered and Luke looked up, his mom smiled sweetly when she saw his pink cheeks ''Why are you asking me this?''


''Oh, just curious.'' He looked down and kept eating.


Andrew gave his wife a look because of what happened, she responded with the same look. Something has been up with Luke but it seems kinda personal, they want to know what it is but don't have the courage to invade their son's private thoughts. As long as he does not watch porn or does something illegal then it's fine.


Luke got up from the table and ran to his room, picking a washed pyjama and dressing it. He sat in front of the secretary and picked up a pen, writing 5 actions that would definitly work.


He would do anything to see those dimples.
