ten - a flower

Thing 7 - offer him a flower (let's hope it's his favourite)

Luke spent hours looking for a nice flower on his garden. Ashton's family was coming over for lunch, it was quite cliché if you asked him but at least he had Ashton. He woke up at 9 AM just to look at his mother's infinite flowers to pick up the most beautiful one for Ashton. He didn't know how to give him that since his parents don't know he likes boys, but he will figure it out.

''What are you doing?'' his mom said from behind him as he examined one of the flowers, it was a pink tulip.

''Just seeing the flowers.'' he said ''I've got nothing to do. Can I pick up three tulips?'' his mom nodded and carefully picked up a pink tulip, a red and a variegated one.

''You have nothing to do? Go study!'' his mom said with a happy voice, already knowing her son would decline.

Luke switched looks between her and his surroudings ''Thanks but... no. When is Mrs.Irwin coming?''

As he said that there was a knock at the door. He ran to his room with the flowers when his mom went to open the door. Luke heard cheerful voices coming from the corridor downstairs, one of them was Harry and the other one was their mother. He hoped Ashton was there - he probably was - so he could give him the flowers.

There was a light knock on his door and he fixed his hair and clothes before telling the person to come in. Harry walked in with Ashton following behind them. He almost feel when Harry collapsed to his legs and hugged it tight. Luke let out a small laugh and patted his head, then he walked away leaving Ashton and Luke alone in the room. They just stared at each other with shy smiles, none of them knew what to say but it was just fine - they didn't have to say anything. Luke grabbed the flowers and organised them with the white bow he found around the house. He walked to Ashton and gave him the flowers.

''These are for you.'' he said and Ashton took them, muttering a 'thank you'.

He saw the meanings of the flowers somewhere on the internet. Red means strong love, he didn't feel that strong for Ashton and he may be young, but he knows he loves the boy. Pink means caring and attachment, he was definitly attached to the other boy. Variegated means beautiful eyes because of their color patterns, and Luke wants to see Ashton's gorgeous hazel eyes until he goes blind.

Ashton smelled the flowers and smiled, looking at Luke in the eyes ''They're my favourite, how did you know?''

''I guessed, but I'm glad you like them.'' he smiled ''Is there anything you want to do? You can sit on the bed.''

Ashton did as told and Luke sat right beside him, their sides touching. There was a comfortable silence between the boys as they watched the TV (Luke didn't remember it being turned on, The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame was on). Luke put his arm behind Ashton as an attempt to get closer to him, it made Ashton giggle.

''If you want me to be closer to you just say it.'' He said, smiling slightly.

When Luke turned his head to watch Ashton he noticed how close they were, with only one movement they could kiss. Luke chuckled and studied Ashton's face, the other boy doing the same. Maybe it was his shiny hazel eyes or dimples, it could be his gorgeous sandy-blonde hair or his different looks. Maybe it was everything about Ashton that made Luke fall for him a little bit more everyday. Ashton was wearing lipstick that tasted like green apples, Luke does love green apples.

He started leaning in and Ashton did the same. Luke grabbed Ashton's waist and they sat even closer. When their lips were almost touching Jack and Ben knocked on the door and were almost laughing when he realised what was happening.

Maybe they should have just sat there quietly and let them kiss, then say 'hello' like George in Harry Potter.

''Lunch is ready, lovebirds. You can continue later.'' Jack said and Ben laughed, leaving with him.

Ashton laughed ''That was unexpected.''

Luke nodded and laughed along. His laugh was interrupted when Ashton pecked his lips quickly. He just sat there for a moment, a big smile forming on his face. It was just a peck but he still felt Ashton's lips against his for a few seconds. The other boy moved and looked down, blushing.

''So... let's have lunch?''

Luke nodded various times and got up, grabbing his phone. He walked behind Ashton as he texted his friends.
