Luke stood in front of the moving-truck, his eyes excitedly eying the bright stone house in front of him. Every time Luke put his eyes on his new home it seemed to grow in size, maybe because it was slightly intimidating that this house was actually his, but the intimidation was nothing compared to the satisfaction he felt.

"You okay?" a soft voice spoke next to him, causing Luke to turn and place his eyes on Ashton. His husband watched him with a warm comforting smile, causing Luke to break out in a grin and reach out to grab Ashton and pull him close to his chest.

"I'm great," Luke answered and leaned his chin on top of Ashton's head. "I'm absolutely brilliant"

"Is that so?" Ashton asked with a soft chuckle before tilting his head back to smile up at Luke brightly. Luke nodded, keeping his grin on his face before leaning down to rest his lips against Ashton's forehead in a lazy kiss. "I'd feel brilliant too if I didn't know we have to unpack all of these things for the next two days"

The sigh leaving Ashton's lips left Luke chuckling before lifting his head to glance back at the house again. Workers were moving back and forth between the truck and the house, carrying all of the family's belongings inside. Peach was happily talking with one of the young guys who was carrying boxes to her room, causing Ashton to protectively frown.

Though, Leon was nowhere to be found, making Luke's stomach drop slightly as he turned around to find him. As his eyes focused on the small body seated on the hood of their car, headphones on and a book in his hands, Luke sighed before placing yet another kiss on Ashton's forehead and walked off to their son.

Luke reached Leon and placed a hand on the young boy's shoulder, grabbing his attention right away. Leon slowly took off his headphones and let them hang around his neck, pausing the music to not let it be heard. With a sigh he glanced up at his father, closing his book and gave Luke a questioning look.

"How are you?" Luke asked and nudged his elbow playfully against Leon's side, smiling slightly but let it fall when Leon only glanced away and shrugged.

"Fine" Leon mumbled and shrugged again, making it absolutely obvious for Luke that his son was not at all 'fine'. Luke sighed.

"I know you're really bummed out about this right now, but you know it's going to be amazing. I mean, look at this," Luke said and pointed over to the house, feeling his own excitement bubble inside of him again, "This is our home and it's pretty damn good"

"Whatever" Leon mumbled once again before opening the book up and pretended to read so his father would stop bothering him.

"Hey, come on," Luke said and nudged Leon until the boy finally looked at him again. "We're only 15 minutes away from our old apartment and even though it's not ours anymore, it's still there. And while living here now it's so much closer to your grandparents. And uncle and aunts, and cousins" Luke continued, soon starting to count it all up on his fingers with a roll of his eyes, causing Leon to crack a small smile.

"I know," Leon spoke, his voice barely over a whisper, making Luke smile sadly before curling an arm around his son's shoulders and pull him close to his side. "I just don't like changes" the young one muttered.

"Well, your father doesn't either but he's coping," Luke said and nodded over at Ashton who was watching all the furniture getting carried inside with a tired look on his face. Leon chuckled quietly at the sight. "It's just- I realize this might be quite selfish of me, to just put everything in line of the restaurant, but I'm doing it for all for you guys. Mostly you, though"
