I laugh at a joke Michael just made about an anime show he was watching. I had already seen the series and made him watch it, and now he was in love.

"Yeah I mean he could have-" he gasps as he suddenly is shoved into me by a group of students walking by us.

"GAY!" they yell, snickering as they walk away.

I roll my eyes, helping Michael stand up straight and he glares at me, "I told you this wasn't a good idea."

Again I roll my eyes, this time at Michael. "C'mon, they're just idiots. Ignore them." I reply. We're at a basketball game that my mother decided I should go to in order to start "socializing." I just scoffed at that, thinking she was joking, but she wasn't.

So I dragged Michael along, and now we're here.

The only good thing is the hot, sweaty basketball players in the gym.

The "mvp," or whatever they call it, is extremely hot, I note to myself.
It's after the game when the teams are congratulating each other when Michael and I stand up to leave.

"I honestly thought you weren't gonna make it through the whole game, Ashton."

"Me either," I mumble.

"M'gonna use the bathroom real quick." I nod and he turns into a different hallway while I wait for him.

I pick at my nails, not noticing Calum Hood standing right in front of me.

I panic, not knowing what to do other than fidget while he looks me up and down. "Can I help you?"

"Sassy, I like it," he growls, shoving me against the wall.

"Get off me!" I attempt to kick him, but he's got my legs pinned too.

"C'mon, baby-"

Just then, the basketball team swarms out of the gym and towards the locker rooms.

I see a familiar-ish blonde head of hair bobbing up and down, and in my panic-stricken state I yell, "Luke!" I had learned his name during the game when everybody kept cheering him on.

He looks over, the smile washing from his face as he runs over.

"He's my boyfriend," I say to Calum, watching his eyes widen the slightest bit. Then he snickers.

"Yeah, right, baby boy. I don't believe you."

I plead at Luke through my eyes to go along, and he seems to get the hint.

"Hood, let him the fuck go."

Calum snorts, turning to Luke. "No way, Hemmings. You don't own him."

Suddenly Luke is yanking Calum back by the neck of his shirt, just enough to get him off me.

Before I can react, Luke has his arms around me and he's kissing me. At first I'm surprised, obviously knowing he didn't really need to go this far, but being glad he did, I close my eyes and wrap my arms around his neck.

I forget about Calum and Michael and anyone else and just focus on Luke.

Then he's pulling away and his eyes are still closed. Breathing hard, he opens them and a grin covers his face.

Of course it's contagious, I think when I grin back.

He pulls away and looks for Calum, laughing when he notices he's gone.

"Thank you, Luke," I sigh in relief.

He smiles, "No problem. I like kissing you."

"I like kissing you too," I blush.

"What's your name?"

"Ashton."

And he kisses me again.

I feel a light tapping on my shoulder and I pull away to see who it is.

It's Michael, pushing his glasses up on his face, staring at Luke in awe. He leans in and whispers in my ear, "Nice one, Ash."

I laugh, a typical Michael comment.

"Luke, this is Michael. Michael, this is Luke." They shake hands, and Michael, trying to act tough, says, "You break my best friend's heart, and I break your face."

Luke laughs, "Good to know he has loyal friends like you."

Michael stands proudly and I roll my eyes fondly at the two of them.

As we walk out of the building, they enter a heated discussion about which Pokemon is the best, and I don't really listen, just laughing on occasion when one of them says something stupid.

The night air hits my face, the sound of Michael and Luke's voices fill my ears, Luke's arm wrapped around my waist feels nice as we walk, and yeah, it was a weird night, and Luke probably has somewhere to be, but I'll just think about it later and enjoy the moment.

The ending is so unrealistic, I'm laughing 😂

Hiya peeps, how're you all?

I've had a pretty emotional day, but in a good way, mostly.

- peace -
