Best Friend's Boyfriend
Chapter 25

Luke's POV

"Michael?" I peer back in the room after Ash runs out.

"Hey, Luke. Tell Cal to come in, as well," he croaks out.

"Calum!" I motion my best friend to come inside.

"Coming," he replies, coming in and sitting right next to Michael.

"Luke," Michael begins, drawing breath. "I- we- have something to tell you."

I close my eyes. "Okay."

"Luke, you were a wonderful boyfriend. I love you," he starts off.

"Um, I-" My eyes widen, ready to reject him instinctively.

"No, I'm not in love with you. I love you as a best friend, a brother. I'm incredibly sorry but over the last past few months, I've developed feelings towards someone else. And they returned my feelings and all I'm basically trying to say is that I cheated on you, we need to break up," he says, and although I should be feelig sad, I'm so relieved.

"Luke," Calum clears his throat. "Bro, you're my best friend. I'll gladly take a bullet for you before anyone else. But it was me. I'm sorry. I was selfish and I love Mikey. I'm so, so sorry."

"Oh, shut up, Cal Pal. You guys make a good couple and honestly I'm so relieved right now, it's like we were never actually dating," I turn to Michael, smiling. "I've cheated on you too. And I'm sorry. But, on the bright side, let's be besties now!" I say brightly.

"Yeah, no. Ashton would kill me. Speaking of which..." Michael raises an eyebrow.

"What about him?"

"Come on. You guys haven't made out or anything?"

"We have," I blushed, admitting it. "But he has a boyfriend. More specifically, my brother. Who hates me. Also he's in love with his ex-fiancée who, might I mention, is not in this world anymore."

"Ashton's moved on, Luke," Michael reprimands.

"No, he hasn't," I reply shortly. "Congrats on your relationship, get better soon, I'll just be leaving now," I say hurriedly, walking out of the room.

"Luke, wait!" Michael says, but I've slammed the door and am running out of there, shaking my head. "Text Ash," he murmers to Calum as I head towards the door.

As soon as I reach outside the hospital, I get blinded by the bright sunlight.

"Thanks for driving me, Ben," is all I hear before a pair of arms fling themselves around me.

I stagger back slightly, but relax as soon as I recognize Ashton's eccentric scent. My arms immediately wrap themselves around his waist.

He leans forward, looks me straight in the eyes and hesitates.

For a moment, I forget everything around us. I understand what he's trying to say, and although I know Ben is watching, I still oblige because at the back of my mind, it doesn't matter that they're boyfriends.

I reach forward and connect my lips to Ashton's softly. He kisses me back gently, no hurries. It's different from all our other kisses again because it's special, like the beginning.

I pull away first, smiling. Then, out of the corner of my eye I notice Ben.

Wait.

I just kissed Ashton.

And he kissed me back.

In front of my brother AKA my boyfriend.

"Shít, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that-"

"We're not dating, Luke," Ben says, smiling sadly before closing his car door and driving away.

"You broke up with him?" I say in disbelief.

"I did," Ashton nods, still hugging me like a koala, his legs wrapped around my waist.

"Why?"

"He told me about Elizabeth and Michael explained the Calum thing and I realised I cheated on Ben. Not with our kisses, but with my feelings."

"Wait, what?"

"Oops," he giggles quietly, making my heart burst.

"Hi," I murmer, leaning my forehead against his.

"I'm in love with you, Lucas Robert Hemmings."

"I'm in love with you, too, Ashton Fletcher Irwin," I smile. "But there is still a problem."

"What?" Ashton's smile drops to a frown.

"I'd love to date you, babe. You're amazing and beautiful, but-"

"But what?" He says impatiently.

"I'd never get along with a Haylor shipper," I declare. "I mean, come on, Larry is bae."

Ashton rolls his eyes dramatically. "I know, bitçh, I write fanfiction and I've changed my opinions."

"Ok, then. Ashton Fletcher Irwin," I smile teasingly. "Will you be my boyfriend?"

"I'd love to be your boyfriend, Lucas Robert Hemmings," he replies.

I smile, relieved at his response.

"You know my tattoo?" He speaks pu suddenly.

"Yeah, Mikey told me about it-"

"I always had one extra line. And the longest, most prominent line, the slash in the tally mark, see," he points as I squint, peering at his tattoo. "That used to be L, for Lilly, the love of my life. Now, I think, Lilly can be the small straight line at the end, because the love of my life is L, for Luke, the love of my life."

"You're so cheesy," I smile, my eyes watering up.

"You love it, really," he winks.

"Do I love you? Yes. Do I love your cheesiness? Also, a yes," I reply back.

"You weirdo."
