The devil wears Versace (Lashton)

Promise

Ashton got two whiskey sours and brought them back to where Luke was waiting.

"Here you go." Ashton handed Luke his drink. Luke took it without so much as a thank you.

Ashton sighed. He was used to Luke being snappy and rude but he wanted to know why he was that way. It was almost like it was a front. He seemed genuinely nice sometimes but then he went right back to being a jerk.

"Are you okay?" Ashton asked Luke. Luke looked tense and kept glancing around nervously.

"I should have brought my computer." Luke said frowning.

"No, you need to take a break." Ashton said.

"I just took on an entire new company. I have a shit load to do." Luke snapped.

"Which is exactly why you need a break." Ashton argued standing and walking towards the water a bit. He hoped Luke would follow.

"I don't take breaks." Luke barked not moving.

"That's your problem. You stress too much. You're going to run yourself into the ground. Now stand up and get your ass over here." Ashton snapped. He was getting annoyed with Luke.

Luke looked shocked but didn't say anything. He simply stood up and made his way slowly towards Ashton.

"Relax." Ashton sighed putting his hands on Luke's shoulders.

"Let's take a walk, shall we?" Ashton asked.

"Do I have a choice?" Luke huffed under his breath.

"Why do you work so hard?" Ashton asked as they started down the beach.

"You have to work hard to be successful." Luke stated as if it was common knowledge.

"Yes, but happy people have to have fun occasionally." Ashton said.

"Are you saying I'm not a happy person?" Luke raised a brow at Ashton.

"You're definitely not." Ashton giggled.

Luke frowned slightly but didn't respond.

"I'm gonna make you have fun today, if you don't like it you can go back to being your crabby self, okay?" Ashton chuckled.

Luke sighed.

"Come on, just today. You already worked today." Ashton pleaded.

Luke immediately gave in to Ashton's plea's.

"Fine."

Ashton grinned widely.

"Now, you have to actually try, promise?"

"Yeah, yeah." Luke waved a dismissive hand.

"You have to promise." Ashton frowned.

"Fine, I promise." Luke huffed.

"Great, I know the perfect thing to start with." Ashton grinned as he grabbed Luke's wrist and drug him back to their chairs.

Luke stood next to Ashton frozen. Ashton was out of his mind if he thought Luke was going to jump off that rock.

"It's fun and perfectly safe." Ashton grinned.

"Not happening." Luke shook his head.

"All you have to do is jump. It's not that far." Ashton urged.

"No way." Luke shook his head again.

"Look they're doing it." Ashton pointed out a group of people who had their arms linked as they all jumped in together.
