Beside you 5sos (boyxboy) (Malum, Lashton)

Chapter 11- Sneaky glances

***I'm just going to let you know that Mashton is NOT a thing. They are JUST friends. So don't let this chapter trip you up. They are like brothers to each other. After this one I think I might just do like a time lapse. Idk I think it's going pretty slow. I am on like chapter 11 and only 4 days have gone by in the story. So yeah I think I might just have a time lapse. In other matters this one is really short. They have a project like this in the original one. Like I said I want to make this as different as possible, but I really liked the project. So, I still did the idea but with a different project. I am writing today so don't worry. Hopefully I will get the five chapters done that I'm hopping to get done, but no promises. I started reading this new fan fiction that I really like, and I'm one of those people that start reading and don't stop tell they I get to the end, witch is why I haven't been writing. But, I took a break for you guys. I love my imaginary readers to much to stop writing. I updated really late yesterday so I decided to do this one early. At lest I tried to. Idk why but my story didn't publish until now so yeah lol. Hope you like it, or at least think its decent. If you don't I'm sorry lol, I tried. See ya later my imaginary readers. Please don't hate me.***

I don't know why it hit me like it did. Maybe from all the adrenaline from yelling at that guy added on from Michael yelling at me. It was like I was fine, but all the sudden something broke and I was on the ground crying. Now I am in bed not wanting to face the world for right now. Mikey and I went to bed about an hour ago but I haven't been able to achieve sleep.

"Mikey," I whisper quietly trying to see if he is awake or not.

"Yeah, ashy."

I sigh a breath of relief. "Can you come sleep with me?" I say quietly not trusting my voice all too well.

"Sure Ashy." He tells me as he gets up and climbs into bed with me. He wraps his arms around me just as we used to do when we were kids and had a nightmare. I feel safe with his arms around me and soon drift off into a deep sleep.

In art class the next day I am staring out the window when I see a figure out the corner of my eye, sit down in the seat beside me. I look over and my eyes light up when I see it's Michael.

"Hey, Mikey," I say to him cheerfully.

He blushes at the nickname. "Hey, Calum."

"I really am sorry. I seriously was not thinking. I was pissed because I just got done puking, and my girlfriend had been blowing up my phone, and my head was pounding." I ramble. "Anyway, I really want to make it up to you. Will you go for coffee with me after class? I will pay."

"Sure." He says hesitantly at first but then smiles.

I sigh with relief and turn my attention back up to the board.

"Attention everybody we will be starting a new project. You guys will have partners, but it will be the person you are sitting with. The project will be all about that person. It will last until the end of the year, with a few other projects in between, and must have at least 6 pieces all together. 3 pieces each. They will be presented together for a final grade. Good luck. For the rest of class, you may plan and work on your project."

I turn to Michael. "Looks like this will be a fun project. I get to paint you." I tell him as he blushes a deep red. God, he is beautiful. I could stare at this beautiful boy all day. But, I don't. That is weird. And creepy. Plus, people might notice. I definitely don't want that to happen.

I refrain from looking at the beautiful boy and look up at the board. I might even admit that I snuck a few glances at him every once in awhile. No one has to know that but me though. No one but me.
