+++++

"Calum, are you up for a cuddle?"

Calum hears those words as they spill from his band mate's mouth and they stop him cold. He's hesitant but still finds himself budging over to make room in the bottom bunk for Luke. The other boy's skin feels warm as he slips beneath the covers. The night air is also warm but being this close to Luke still gives Calum goose bumps.

Cuddling on the tour bus has become a regular thing between all the guys. They've become unusually close after so many months of living together. Calum's grown used to it with Mikey and Ashton but with Luke it's different. Different because of how it makes him feel. Different because of what usually happens once they start.

Luke's not wearing a shirt as he presses himself against Calum's chest. Luke lets out a contented sigh as he gets comfortable, his head settling beneath Calum's chin perfectly. Calum wraps an arm around Luke's waist in an almost careful manner and Luke seems to pick up on his wariness.

"Are you okay?" He whispers quietly.

Calum swallows hard in his throat as he contemplates how to answer him. I mean how do you tell your best friend you're in love with him?

"I'm fine." He says quickly, chickening out.

Luke seems happy with the answer but Calum can't shake away his uneasiness. Only a few moments pass before he feels Luke pressing his ass up against his front. The friction's too much to be ignored. He's hard in no time and he knows Luke can feel it through the thin material they're both wearing.

Calum tries extricating himself from Luke but there isn't much room in the tiny bunk. Luke turns himself around and it's all Calum can do to avoid his questioning gaze.

"What's the matter? Aren't you in the mood?" he whispers against the shell of Calum's ear.

Not in the mood! Fuck, of course he's in the mood! He's just sick of not knowing just what they are to each other. Luke's never indicated they're more than just friends but yet they've been fucking for weeks now. Calum's just been too afraid to confront the other boy. What if all they are to each other are friends with benefits? He's not quite sure he can handle that.

"Of course I am." He whispers nervously back.

He presses his lips softly against Luke's mouth. Quietly, they exchange kisses, their legs becoming entangled as they continue to explore one another. Calum can feel Luke, hard and heavy against his thigh and instinctively he finds himself grinding up against the other boy. He can feel Luke's fingers as they linger over the edge of his boxers; his own hands are caught within Luke's blonde quiff.

"Fuck...Calum." Luke moans, a bit louder than intended.

Calum places his hand over Luke's mouth, both shushing him and giggling at the same time.

"You trying to get us caught?"

Luke grins as he pulls Calum's hand away from his mouth.

"I can't help it you turn me on so much, besides Mike and Ashton sleep like rocks."

"Luke, I'm not sure we should do this tonight." Calum says as he rolls over onto his back.

He catches a glimpse of Luke's disappointed pout out of the corner of his eye. He feels a twinge of remorse before remembering that he has nothing to feel guilty for. After all, it's not like they're boyfriends or anything.
