Eighteen: 'Bruised and Scarred'

Chapter 18 'Bruised and Scarred'

Calum

"How long have you been staring at me?"

"Morning Lucas," I said, smiling. I was facing him, still in bed, and our arms were wrapped around each other loosely; I'd be lying if I said it was very comfortable, but the sight of his morning face completely erased any previous thought of it hurting. "Sleep well?"

He blinked a couple times, yawned and smirked, replying, "Course I did. Calum you're so cuddly..." He tightened his grasp and pulled me closer. "Thank you so much for my birthday present. Honestly. Nothing could ever beat it."

"You're so cheesy, you adorable little breadstick. I want to eat you up."

"Please don't."

I chuckled and sat up, looking around for the time. "Wow it's eleven already. Why didn't anyone wake us?" I said to myself whilst stretching my arms and letting Luke pull me back down into the covers. "Aren't you hungry?"

He pressed his forehead against mine, letting our lips brush past each other. "For you, yes."

"What the heck Luke, you just told me not to eat you, and now you want to eat me? This is an unjust relationship and I want out." His face fell, as if I was being serious, so I quickly kissed him back. "I'm joking you idiot."

He grinned. "I know."

"Come on, let's go down and eat something."

"But I wanna stay..."

"Come on Luke, let's go-"

Suddenly, he yelped as I lifted him up, face going red and his lips immediately hiding between his teeth. "Holy fuck... ouch, why does it hurt so bad?" he whined, voice breaking. I awwed and snuggled into him.

"I'm sorry Lucas, did I go too hard last night?"

He went totally red, and it was as if the whole of his lower body was unable to move. "Shut up Cal..." he groaned, grabbing my bare chest forcefully.

"Well, you know what they say... go hard or go home..."

"Fuck off... It actually really hurts!!" he winced. I did feel bad, but at the same side let my masochistic side take over for a few moments. "I don't think I can get out of bed..."

"Babe fine. Let me carry you," I whispered, getting out of bed first and hurrying to his side, before putting one arm under his legs and one under his back then lifting him up. He still winced and yelled out in pain but I had him under control, murmuring soft words into his ear and nibbling it whilst I was at it. "Shh Luke. What if my parents hear you?" He immediately shut up and even tried to get out of my hold, jumping down.

"D-didn't you say they were away...?" He looked genuinely worried, so I bent down and picked him up again.

"Whatever. C'mon let's go down and eat; then we'll go back to yours and hopefully Michael and Ashton haven't woken up yet." Then I shoved my lips on to his resulting in a long make out session on the stairs.

"Excuuuuse me, Luke and Calum, where have you been?" Ashton demanded with a fake pout and his hands firmly placed on his hips. Michael gave us these smug looks from behind Ashton, munching on a slice of cold pizza. Jeez he really did love pizza, didn't he?

"Don't be a dad, Ash, now could you please let us in?" I joked, punching his shoulder. Ashton raised his eyebrows at my remark and opened the door. I was surprised that it was silent, and that Liz hadn't jumped out to ask where Luke had been yet. Unless it had worked. "Hey where are Luke's parents?"
