-Lucas POV-
"I'm back with pizza!" yelled Ashton from the living room.
I was still in sitting on Ashton's bed finishing another heartfelt letter signed Mathew in the same sloppy handwriting as all the other letters.
"Hey dude do yo-. Where did you get those from?" he asked his face going pale.
"Who's Mathew?"
"A friend why are you reading his letters anyway?" he asked snatching the letters from my hands and putting them back in the envelope.
"There's no way he's just a friend." I said standing up.
"It's none of your business." he said putting the envelope in the top drawer on his dresser.
"I tell you everything. Why can't you tell me this?" I asked slightly annoyed.
"Well, I'm not you Lucas."
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Because you'll judge me for it." he said running his hands through his hair.
"The only thing I'm judging you for except for keeping a secret from me."
"There from my boyfriend he's stationed in Iraq." he choked out his eyes watering.
"So you're gay." I pressured.
"No, I'm bi." he said.
"Why'd you never tell me?"
"Because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, and then you were never around so I never got the chance." he explained rubbing his eyes harshly.
"How long have you guys been together?" I asked.
"For about two and a half years." he said with a grin.
"Well I'm gonna go get some pizza, and by the way I'm sorry I invaded your privacy. But I'm happy you found someone." I said turning on my heel and walking out the door to see Gabrielle standing there.
"Were you eavesdropping?" I asked Gabrielle.
"It isn't eavesdropping of the door is open."she said. "Ashton I can't find any cups."Gabrielle said looking around me.
"I'll get some for you." I said.
"Your name isn't Ashton."she said walking back to the kitchen. I followed her to the kitchen noticing the glass wasn't on the floor.
"Did you clean the glass up?" I asked.
"Yeah, I cut my foot on it."she said.
"We're gonna eat in the living room and watched Netflix."Ashton announced once he reached the kitchen.
"Alright, can we watch American Dad?" Gabrielle asked putting pizza on a plate.
"Yeah, and here's a cup."Ashton said pushing her a cup.
"So, do you have any pictures of Matthew?"Gabrielle asked smiling at Ashton.
"Yeah."he said blushing pulling his phone out of his pocket showing Gabrielle a picture.
"He's so cute." she commented. I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that ran through me. Ashton showed me the picture of him and Matthew I'm his military uniform.
"Was that the day he got shipped off?"I asked.
"Yeah. He's due to come home in four months."he said putting his phone back in his pocket.
I quickly fixed my plate and went into the living room sitting beside Gabrielle leaving distance between us. Ashton followed shortly sitting on the other couch. We were all relaxing watching American Dad. We were at a point in the show were Stan started doing drugs when a knock on the door echoed through the room.
"I got it."Ashton said getting up walking to the door.
"Who is it."he yelled no one answering. Ashton looked through the peephole and started crying. He through the door open and attacked the person. I stood up and walked to the door to the door shocked at what I saw.
- Ashton P.O.V. -
It was Matthew, he's finally home. "You...you're ear...ly."I said between sniffles and hiccups burying my head into his chest.
"Shh."Matthew said whispering onto my ear picking me up and spinning me around.
"So you must be Matthew."I heard Lucas say from behind us.
"And you are...?"Matthew asked placing me back on the ground.
"Your boyfriend's bestfriend." Lucas replied.
"Well I was hoping he wouldn't be my boyfriend anymore. "Matthew said.
At that moment my heart sunk to the bottom of my stomach. "What?" I asked confused breaking away from him.
"I was hoping you'd be my fiancé then my husband."he said getting down on one knee.
"Yes, a million times yes." I yelled at him. He slipped the ring on my finger and stood up to kiss me.
"This is a Kodak moment."Gabrielle said as she constantly took pictures of us.
"How'd you get here from the airport?"I asked just now notice the humongous duffle bag at his feet.
"I took the two buses, then walked 1/2 of a mile."he said holding my hands.
"Well hurry up and go inside then run the bath. I know haven't relaxed in a while. I'll be in there in a while."I said trying to take his bag out of his hand.
"I got it."he said his American accent holding on to each word.
"No go do what I said."I told him getting the bag put of his hand. God this bag is heavy.
"I got something for you it's in the bag so hurry up so you can open it."he said going inside. I quickly followed after.
- Gabrielle P.O.V. -
"Well I'm gonna hit the sack."I said to Lucas turning around.
"Okay. I'm gonna be there soon."he said.
