So Im kinda fiddling with ideas at the moment but I think I have a few ideas how to keep going thanks to radiculouis

The next morning i woke up to something cold poking at my cheek. I smiled turning over looking at a smiling Luke curled tightly into me his finger posed to poke my face again. "Don't even think about it cutie," i said quietly kissing his forehead. It was hard for me to not smile as he nuzzled into my chest. I held him close humming softly as he laid against me. "What are we doing today ashy," he asked softly after a bit. His big innocent blue eyes twinkling brightly as he looked up at me. "We can do whatever you want babe. I just have to go to the gym for a while later other than that its your day well do whatever you want." I sat quietly watching him as he got lost in thought. "C can we go t to the aquarium," he asked timidly after a bit. I forced a smile trying not to think of all the things that happened at the small place. "Sure baby boy whatever you want," i said calmly running my fingers through his hair. I couldn't stop the giggle from escaping my mouth as he jumped up clapping like a little kid before rushing off to get dressed. I stretched before stumbling over to my closet pulling on some decent clothes and packing my gym back figuring we'd probably go straight there after the aquarium. I was trying to fix my hair as a pair of small arms wound themselves around my waist. "You ready sweet boy" i asked quietly as i turned around hugging him close. I could feel him nod into my chest and whispered, "a ash im kinda h hungry." "Ok then lets get your cute lil tummy some food then we can head out to see the fishes." I walked us down to the kitchen pouring us both some of lukes favorite cereal and let him eat. I couldnt help but steal glances at him as he ate. Watching how hed slowly stir the soggy mess before placing a spoonful to his beautiful pink lips. After wed both finished our cereal we drove to the aquarium. He couldn't hide his excitement as I parked the car in front of the aquarium. I giggled as he grabbed my hand dragging me inside and straight to the penguin exhibit watching in awe as the small birds would waddle and swim. I watched as him as he stood watching the small animals he looked so happy and peaceful. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist keeping him close to me hiding in his neck. "Lukey baby i love you sweet boy," I whispered quietly rocking us slightly to distract myself as the memories of my dad beating be half to death in this exact spot. His small hands laying over mine as he snuggled back into me. "My sweet sweet boy." I murmured softly as he turned to face me.

"Ohhh well looky here boys the faggot and big bad irwin are on a date.... How disgusting." I heard Trent sneer to his crew of assholes. "Go mess with someone else asshat or better yet just leave." I grumbled back walking luke over to the turtle tank. I watched as he smiled brightly and giggled when one of the smaller ones nibbled at his fingers. He looked so happy petting and touching the turtles as they swam around. His blue eyes skimming over the water taking in everything in the tank. But after a bit I heard Trent again and Luke curled into me. "Come on baby lets go somewhere else. How about some ice cream before the gym?" He nodded happily curling into my side as i guided us out, but made a short stop at the gift shop. "Bub you can get a toy or whatever." I told him quietly as he caustiously walked around the small store eyes scanning over the trinkets and stuffed animals. I couldnt hide my smile when he paused for a moment in front of a penguin plushie with big blue eyes just like his. "Do you want it baby," i asked him quietly grabbing the penguin when he nodded shyly. I walked over paying for it and a small stuffed turtle before leaving.

When we pulled up to the gym I paused for a moment seeing that there was nobody there. Which was strange since it was two in the afternoon on a regualar work out day. It shouldve been packed. But going against my inner gut I led luke inside any way figuring that maybe I could knock out my stuff quicker wih no one here. "ASHTON GET YOURE LAZY ARSE OVER HERE!!!" I instantly heard the boss otherwise known as my granpa, or pops as i call him, yell as we entered.  I sat Luke on a bench in clear veiw of all the stations id use in my workout then walked over to boss. "Yeah pops wassup," i asked calmly. "You pussy you backed out of a cheap fight." He screamed at me. "Pops m'sorry I had some personal things I had to take care of. I told Cal to tell you Id be doing less fights anyway. Ive got to work on my grades if I want to have any hope of even graduating let alone getting into college like you and granny want me to do."  I hung my head a bit as I finished working my way around doing my workout. I had made it to my last set and was doing my push ups when Luke hesitantly walked over. "A ash," he mumbled quietly. I stopped and looked up at him gently, "yeah baby whats up." "Uh um I was just wondering i if you w wanted me to tutor you... I i mean Im in all senior classes anyway..." "Luke i.. You dont have to." I said slightly shocked. I knew he was smart and yeah I knew he was way ahead in online school, but even I didnt know he was that far ahead. "Sorry just forget I said anything... Im just gunna go for a walk" he said sadly his head hanging low as he trudged towards the door. "Baby no," i yelled out running to him,"if you want to tutor me thats awesome. How about this you can teach me book stuff, and Ill help you learn to box a bit. Teach you how to defend yourself in the extremely rare chance im not around to protect you." The smile that spread across his face was enough to brighten even the darkest places in my heart. Maybe hed be the one to save me from myself after all. I led him over to the small boxing ring carefully showing him the best defensive moves to use against people, and then a few counter attacks. It was nice to feel useful and important for once. The way his eyes would glow with excitement when hed do a move right or block my hits was absolutely precious. Or the way that hed softly kiss my nose or cheek when he got close to me. After another hour of running the moves with him we were both pouring sweat as I carried his sleeping form to my car and tossed my gym bag in the back. I quietly drove us home smiling like a mad man when Cal and Mike walked out to greet us. I leaned over gently kissing Lukes forehead to wake him as the others crowded the doors. "Were home lukey," i whispered quietly. He grabbed his new penguin and sleepily stumbled inside looking more like a five year old who is ready for a nap than a seventeen year old who just got done with a boxing work out. I followed behind him chatting with the boys about the work out. Listening and commenting as Cal would ask questions. After wed finished I scooped Lukes small sleeping body into my arms carefully carrying him upstairs to the bathroom running a hot bath before waking him. "Baby you need to wake up for a bit," i cooed setting him on the counter as I helped him strip out of his sweaty clothes. "Mmmm but ashyyyy," he whined nuzzling into me. "I know sweet boy but I ran a hot bath for you." I said hoping to coax him into the warm water. "A ash?" He asked softly causing me to hum back. "w will you stay with m me," he asked shyly ducking his head down. I smiled softly stripping down and climbing in behind him using a small cup to pour warm water over his hair and back before washing him. I smiled as he leaned into me allowing me to rub and massage his sore muscles.

After letting him soak in the water until his fingers were starting to prune I helped him up and let him get dressed. I chuckled walking back to my room as he got changed pulling on some sweats and grabbing the things I would need to bandage his hand again. I jumped a bit and smiled as his small arms wrapped around my waist and he nuzzled into my back. Walking us over to my bed pulling him onto my lap. "Let me see your hand sweetheart," i cooed softly pulling his hand to me as i carefully dried it and spread antibiotic cream on it before wrapping it tightly. I knew there was no hiding my fond expression as Calum walked. "Mike and I are ordering pizza and putting a movie on if you lover boys wanna join us," he yelled smirking as he walked out.
