lets cuddle (cashton)

you hate me

Calum was in a terrible mood when he opened the door to the flat he shared with Ashton. He'd had a terrible day at rehearsal and he felt as if everyone was out to get him. Ashton trailed into the flat after him, still upset at the way that Calum had been snapping at him all day. He was worried it would happen again, due to the tense muscles in Calum's shoulders and he was desperate to just get away, to hide into his own room until Calum got over whatever mood he was in.

He flopped down onto his bed, his face buried in his pillow and he felt a few tears fall from his eyes. It wasn't that he was mad at Calum, he was more so mad at himself for whatever he had done to make Calum so mad at him. Because surely, he had to have done something wrong to make Calum act the way he had been for the entire day. Which was why he was surprised when he heard a gentle knock on his door a few hours later. He looked up, calling out for whoever it was to come in.

Calum pushed open the door slowly and smiled a little sheepishly, his face falling when he took in the devastating state of Ashton. His eyes were red and his face was all puffy. He looked like he'd been crying for hours.

"Ashton?" he said quietly, already moving across the bedroom to slide onto the bed, pulling Ashton into his arms.

"Are you mad at me?" Ashton whimpered and Calum felt his heart stop.

"Fuck," he whispered. "No, Ash, of course not. I know I've been a shit head today, but I swear...it's not you Ashton, it's never you."

Ashton looked up at Calum. "What was it then?"

"I was just having a terrible day," Calum sighed and Ashton smiled a little.

"You sure it wasn't something I did?"

"No, I promise. If anything you make a terrible day a bit better."

"Only a bit?" Ashton asked, smiling a little and Calum chuckled.

"Okay, you make it a lot better." He paused for a moment. "It's one of the reasons I'm so in love with you."

Ashton gasped. "Cal..."

"Shit, i knew i shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry ash i I'm so sorry," Calum sobbed out as he stood up and ran out the door.

"Wait Calum! I-" Ashton heard his door slam shut. "Damn it", he cursed. He was about to get up and run to go get Calum when it hit him. Calum just said he was in love with me. Calum just said he was in love with me. CALUM JUST SAID HE WAS IN LOVE WITH ME. In the middle of his fangirling session he heard huge crash, followed my what sounding like glass shattering.

Ashton ran to Calums door only to find the door locked. "Calum open the door!" The only response he heard was sobbing and more glass shattering. "CALUM OPEN THE DOOR"

"but you hate me now" Calum whimpered. His voice was so small Ashton could barely here him.

"No i don't Cal, i could never hate you!" Yet the only thing he heard was a thud and a muffled sob. That's it ashton thought I'm coming in.

Ashton took a couple steps back and shoved the door open, knocking it off its hinges. The sight in front of him was heart breaking. At first all he saw was a whole in the wall, a shattered mirror, multiple picture frames broken on the floor but then his eyes landed on Calum. In the far corner of his room Calum was in fetal position, sobbing.

"Oh Cal.." Ashton whispered while walking over to him. "Cal its okay, everything will be okay."

"No it wont" Calum sobbed out. "Nothing will ever be okay because you don't love me the way i love you." "Who told you that?" Ashton replied.

His eyes filled with confusion Calum stared back at him. "But i, you-" Ashton cut him off, "i never said anything, you ran off before i could."

"Wait, does that mean.." Calum looked at him with hope in his eyes. "Yes you big goof ball, im in love with you."

Calum gasped but before he could say anything he felt Ashton's lips press against his own. They both smiled softly into the kiss, happy their feelings were returned. After a few short minutes they both pulled away for air. Calum was at a loss for words,"That.. that was" "amazing" ashton finished for him.

"Whaddya think about having a movie marathon and snuggle on the couch?" Ashton asked

"I think that sounds like a perfect way to end today." Calum replied, a faint blush spreading across his cheeks.

And that's exactly what they did the rest of the night, eventually falling a asleep in each others arms. Neither of them knowing what awaited them in the morning...
