I'm back?

So yeah...its been literally forever since I've been on here but I've been feeling so so much better

Thank you guys for making me feel better and all I really appreciate it:)

Idk how often these updates will be because I'm kinda in a rut where I have no motivation right now, don't know why but I do so updates might be slow for awhile

ANYWAY let's get on with it haha

OH and this isn't edited because I'm a lazy motherfücker, what's new

+++++

"Wow, I think the ocean here's even bluer than the one back home." Luke casually remarks as he sits down in the sand next to Calum.

Calum gives him a fond smile while shaking his head softly.

"Nah, the one back homes way better." He said in quick disagreement.

Luke's thoughtful for a moment.

"Yeah, maybe you're right. But it's still pretty beautiful here."

Calum mumbles in agreement, then reaches out to playfully pull at Luke's hand. Luke's fingers immediately intertwine themselves with Cal's and he squeezes the other boy's hand tightly. Calum's gaze wanders around quickly, gauging whether anyone's around to see them but the beach is pretty well deserted.

"Cal, we don't have to hide here."

"Sorry, force of habit." Calum remarks.

He looks down at their hands for a moment and then whispers, "I just wish we didn't ever have to hide."

Luke feels the same. It's great being in a band with his best mates but it sucks having to hide his true feelings for Calum. Even joking about it has become taboo, what with all the fans shipping them as a couple. Management doesn't want to deal with the potential fallout. So instead, they're forced to keep their relationship hidden.

In fact, no one outside of a few close friends knows how they've spent the past two weeks in Bali. This vacation's been like a breath of fresh air for them. For the most part they've just spent hours walking down beaches holding hands or curled up in bed, arms wrapped tight around each other as they exchanged soft kisses. Sadly tho, it's coming to an end in just a few short days. Soon they'll be parting ways in an effort to defuse relationship rumours. Even on break they have to be careful to guard the secret.

"Someday the world will be a better place," Luke says quietly, "And then the whole world will get to see how much I really love you."

"Yeah.... Sure...." Calum says doubtfully.

Luke can hear sadness in the way Calum's voice breaks on both those words.

Calum pulls Luke closer, his arm snaking possessively around Luke's waist. Luke buries his face into the crook of Calums neck, inhaling his Axe body spray. Luke feels sad that they only have a few more days here in Bali. But being this close to Calum still makes him incredibly happy inside.

"I know something that'll cheer you up." He whispers playfully against Cal's ear.

"What could possibly make me feel good about the fact that we'll be ripped away from one another in just two days?" Calum grouses out.

Luke can't help but giggle at Calum's sour mood. Sure, it's hard being apart but Calum acts like he never gets to see Luke when they just got off a huge tour together. He's being melodramatic and he knows it.
