"Harry is my brother. Lauren is my sister. Anne is my mum," Ashton explained to a nervous Luke that was walking next to him as they made their made way to Ashton's family house. He hadn't even met his designated wife's family yet but here he was meeting Ashton's.

"Are you nervous?" Ashton asked, looking over at Luke quickly before pulling him into the building his family lived in.

"A bit. I'm scared they won't like me. I'm not like you guys," Luke said.

"They will love you," Ashton said, squeezing Luke's hand reassuringly.

Ashton was definitely right. Luke immediately felt like he was a part of the family as soon as he walked in through the door. He was bombarded with questions by Ashton's siblings as soon as their eyes landed on him. Luke just answered them to the best of his ability while Ashton was standing back and smiling fondly at the blonde.

"My baby boy," Ashton's mum cooed, her hands going around her eldest son. She squeezed at his hips and he laughed.

"I thought I was the only one that called you that," Luke said, a confused look crossing his face. Ashton's face turned bright red as he turned and glared at Luke. The blonde didn't understand truly what he ahd said and Anne couldn't stop laughing at the boy.

"He's amazing Ashton. Please keep him," Anne cooed, reaching over and ruffling Luke's hair softly.

"Luke, you're not supposed to tell people that."

"Oh."

The small family and Luke all went to crowd around the table to finally eat lunch.

"We have spaghetti today. Is that okay with you?" Anne asked, Luke just nodding his head because he wasn't sure what it was exactly.

Luke sat next to Ashton, Ashton's hands making their way onto Luke's leg and squeezing reassuringly.

"So what do you do for a living?" Anne asked, taking a bite of her spaghetti.

"I own a business," Luke answered, his posture automatically straightening as if he were about to enter an interview.

"Kind of sounds like a Knowing," Harry muttered and Ashton automatically stiffened.

"Is he a Knowing?" Anne asked, noticing her son's reaction.

"Uh yeah," Ashton said awkwardly.

"You guys could get in so much trouble for this!" Anne said, "But it's cute and romantic so I'll let it slide."

Luke looked over at Ashton who was blushing again. Luke thought that Ashton was an actual angel. He liked how he was always happy and cuddly. He also liked that Ashton didn't judge him as a Knowing and was willing to get the real Luke.

Luke listened as Ashton's mum told embarrassing stories of Ashton and what he was like as a child and how he was with ex-boyfriends. Luke listened intently and loved seeing Ashton's reactions as well.

"Ashton, when he was younger, used to steal the lingerie I had hidden and parade around the house saying he couldn't wait for his boyfriend to show up soon. He was around seven or eight," Anne said snickering, Ashton turning a bright red and hiding his face in Luke's shoulder.

"We might have to find you another pair so you can model it for me later baby," Luke whispered into Ashton's ear and Ashton's face turned even more red.

"Luke just said something dirty," Harry pointed out, making the blonde chuckle.

"Yeah. He's a pervert," Ashton said, smiling widely at the Knowing.

"What's a pervert?" Luke asked, making Ashton and his mum laugh. Luke liked Ashton's laugh.

He liked seeing Ashton's laugh and his dimples that came with it. He liked seeing his hazel eyes in the sun and even in the dark and he just loved the way they could show his emotions.

Emotions. Luke didn't really know what they were and he was just starting to figure them out but he definitely knew he had emotions. And they were strong, lustful, love-filled ones towards Ashton.
