The bass bounced off the walls, everything was dark except for the neon lights and glowing necklaces around the necks of partygoers.
Luke was latched onto Michael's arm, and Ashton was latched to theirs. Ashton had no idea why they came if they had social anxiety, and with that, since they emerged from the back seat they've held close to Luke."Hey"
Michael broke the silence between the three of them
"I'm gonna go....get some drinks...You guys want anything?""Yeah, get us something with mild or no alcohol"
Ashton statedMichael laughed at their innocence
"Yes your majesty." He said referring to Ashton
"I'll be back in a few babe.''
The older tapped Luke's bottom before he walked between the grinding crowd of individuals trying to swallow others faces.The blondes cheeks were rosy, Ashton seemed to find it amusing.
"He dropped the babe bomb,"
"I know..."
"And h-he touched your ass..."
"Ash, I get it."
Luke groaned
"Let's go dance, and I don't mean your hip swivels."Luke dragged their friend into the crowd, Ashton tensed each time someone brushed past them or touched their arm. That only made them hold Luke closer .
"Hey..Ashy,"
Luke's voice called out in Ashton's ear quietly
"Let's dance"Luke swayed their hips to the beat of the fast music playing loudly, Ash smiled, they liked seeing Luke happy. Ashton has seen Luke at their worst, and seeing them happy made Ashton light up inside and feel cliché butterflies.
Ash calmly rocked at the wrong speed out of nervousness,
"Ash, stop being scared of everything, while I'm here with you, nothing's gonna happen" Luke reassured.Ashton just nodded sheepishly as Luke began to talk again,
"I'm gonna see what's taking Mikey so long with the drinks okay? Stay here.""But Luke, I-"
"Ash, don't be a baby, I'll be back. I'll meet you by the stair case."
Luke waved them off before disappearing into the crowd, leaving a scared Ashton behind.Luke eventually made it to the kitchen, seeing familiar red hair over the small group within the space. Luke walked up to their inamorato to tap his shoulder with a giddy smile on their face until they noticed who Michael had his hands wrapped around, Calum.
Luke's heart dropped into their stomach, they tried to stay quiet but a light whimper slipped from their lips making the older boy look over and his eyes soften
"Lukey...I-"
"Believe me,"
Luke chuckled bitterly
"M'sorry too."Luke let their salty tears roll down their cheeks as they looked by the stairs for their friend, only to find nothing but drunken couples staggering up the stairs. They didn't know that Michael had followed close behind,
"Luke, can you hear me out please?"
The older yelled over the music"Michael leave me alone, I need to find Ashton."
"It'll just take a sec.."
Michael grabbed Luke by their shoulders, pulling them into a corner"What?"
Luke snapped"I'm sorry, y-you weren't supposed to see-"
"So all that shit with Calum was supposed to be going on behind my back? Great fucking plan."
"Luke, I didn't think you actually felt things for me. I thought you were kiddi-"
"Michael, are you even hearing yourself? Why would you think I was kidding? I only acted that way around my family is so they don't think anything! You realize if my mother knew I actually loved you she'd be infuriated?! And that is the last thing anyone needs! I loved you with all my heart even though we only knew each other for a little while. And the sad part is I still love you that much...and more."
Luke yelled, earning a few stares.Michael was about to speak but a light voice interrupted that, a voice all too familiar to Luke.
"Don't worry about him.. he's just a confused little boy. You love me right?"
Calum wrapped his small hands around the older.Michael had a small smile on his face, that made Luke's heart drop. They didn't care about what Michael had to say anymore.
Luke was hurt, frustrated and the constant sting in their eyes from the brackish tears made them think irrationally. So, Luke did the last thing anyone thought they'd do,
they got drunk.
