  Out of all the crazy things that happened in Luke's life over the past few months, moving in with Ashton was the craziest. They had been dating for two years and living together - and Luke's mum - for almost one year and half but this is different. 

After selling his studio, Ashton decided to buy a bigger and more practical one in the city - this on has a kitchen. The two lovers love the aesthetic of a studio a lot more than a classic appartement. It's more open and perfect for their artistic personalities. 

They've spent weeks trapped inside, decorating the studio till it finally was to their liking. Luke's mum thought they were mental for doing this but that's them. They like crazy and intense. Ashton hung some of his photographs on the walls, giving a gallery effect. He also made sure to hung a few portraits of his beautiful boyfriend on others, keeping the more private ones for the bedroom which is upstairs. 

''I don't understand how we work in the same industry yet never worked together professionally,'' Ashton stated as he cleaned his camera lens for his next job. 

''I know! Gigi and I were talking about this the other day during our shoot for Vogue US. Maybe it's because they know we're together and it's not allowed, I don't know.''

''I work with models from your agency, why not you? I'd make sure you'd look your best,'' he winked.

''Or not. You always take picture of me when I'm ugly and gross.'' Luke pouted, exiting the bathroom with a freshly washed face and humid hair. 

''That's not true!'' he defended. ''I always take good pictures of you.''

Shaking his head, Luke walked around the kitchen, getting something to satisfy his stomach. ''You posted a picture of me drooling on the couch last week, liar.'' 

Ashton laughed, remembering that picture. His Instagram followers went mental like every time he post a picture of Luke or them on any social media. ''It was cute.''

''It was embarrassing,'' Luke corrected, picking a few berries from the fridge and popping one into his mouth. 

''What kind of photoshoot should we do? I've been doing a lot of catalogues lately but those are too plain for you.'' 

Luke rolled his eyes and walked over to the older boy, sitting down next to him and leaning his head on his shoulder as he ate. Contrarily to what people think, they are a very casual couple. They enjoy the simple things in life like staying in bed late on Sundays or eating take away in front of the television.

They also have an eccentric side like that one time they went on an island for a week and swam in the ocean with the aquatic life. 

''A naked photoshoot!''

Ashton snorted. ''I'd probably get a hard on before pressing the button of my camera so...'' 

The model laughed, kissing his boyfriend's shoulder, hoping Ashton would get the message that he wants to cuddle. When he finally did and set his camera lens on the table in front of the couch Luke happily leaned into the older boy's body. 

''You needy shit,'' Ashton said playfully, poking Luke's stomach and making him squeal in surprise.

''S-stop, it tickles.''

During their tickle attack, Luke's phone went off.The blonde was hoping Ashton would release him so he could take his phone from the table but he didn't. He held him tighter which earned a annoyed pout from Luke, making Ashton giggle because he's just so fucking cute no matter what he does. 

When he was finally free from his boyfriend's grip, the model launched himself at the table, glancing at the screen. ''It's Mike,'' Luke said, pressing the green answer button and pulling the device to his ear.

After one year of not speaking, Luke and Michael put a band-aid on their friendship bond. The two have been friends since a long time and it was sad to see their friendship get lost like this. All those years they've spent together, laughing and sharing secrets couldn't be broken by Michael's drug addiction. He had to put an end to this or it would've taken over his life. 

As their speaking, the rainbow haired guy is studying in college, planning to become a tattoo artist. He's been practicing on Luke a few times - only small ones due to his job - and even Ashton. The photographer was iffy at first when he met Michael, knowing he's the one that tried to use his baby a few months ago. 

Now they're good though. Ashton still isn't a hundred percent okay with Michael but he accepts him. After all, the guy did make efforts to get his life together and be a better person. It would be selfish to hold a grudge against him since he's one of Luke's best friends. 

''Hey, Luke! I think I got a job a a tattoo artist, I found some new canevas to work on at school, you won't have to do a career sacrifice,'' Michael said with a chuckle. 

Luke cheered in relief. Michael needed to practice with a bigger tattoo for his classes but neither Luke or Ashton were willing to commit. Tattoos are not well seen in the modeling world - small ones are okay but not too much - so the blonde couldn't help his friend and as for Ashton, he's too busy.

''That's ace, Mike!'' 

Ashton sat there, staring at Luke as he spoke on the phone. The happy smile on his face was beautiful and Ashton is proud to say he's one of the reason he's smiling so much. 

''I'm going down to this place in a few, it's new and some of my friends from school will be there, wanna join? Ashton to, of course. I can't separate the lovebirds,'' he laughed.

Luke chuckled. ''Yeah, I'm with Ash right now. We could join you-

Ashton doesn't feel social tonight. It might be selfish but all he wants is to spend time with his boyfriend. With their busy jobs, they don,t get to see each other often. Most week days is filled of quick 'hellos' in the morning and a good night cuddle. 

Before Luke could speak more, the curly haired boy interrupted them. ''Sorry Michael but Luke is kinda busy right now,'' Ashton said, moving closer to the speaking area of the phone. 

''Oh, I see... Are you two having some sexual interaction,'' he asked with a snort at his own words. 'Sexual interactions' who even says that? Sex is a much more modern and direct way to say it. It's honest, pure and raw, perfect. 

''Yeah, he had a mouthful before you called, actually.'' Luke's blue eyes narrowed at him but Ashton ignored him. ''We'll get going now if you don't mind,'' he added.

Michael hummed, understanding. ''Oh, by-'' 

Ashton hung up on him, snatching the phone from Luke's hand and tossing it on the end of the couch. The wicked smile on his lips was worrying Luke a little but his worry soon vanished when the older's mouth was pressed on top of his.

End

A/N This ending wasn't as good at the one I wrote for Opposite Attracts but I didn't have a lot planned for this one. Please don't forget to vote and tell me down below what your favorite mouvements were in this book. You can say as many as you want! 

p.s. I have a new book up to replace this one, it's called rivality at best and it's about swimming but also plenty of teenage-y/high school/college subject, you should check it out!
