Sister feuds [CALM AU]✔️

Chapter Twenty-Two

When the family finally got home, they went up to their rooms but Michael didn't go with Luke, Ashton and Luna. He went to the other spare bedroom, sprawling out on the bed. He just wanted to be alone, he wanted to be with Luke, Ashton and Calum yes but he also needed time out. He'd been there with Ashton, he'd been there with Luke and he'd been there with Calum, he didn't take the time out to see to himself and make sure that he was okay before he helped the next person.

Ashton knew that he wasn't okay, yet he still asked even though he knew Michael wouldn't answer him.

Michael didn't realize that he was drifting off to sleep so when he woke up, his head was propped up on a pillow and a blanket was covering him. He looked up to see Ashton's leaning against the doorframe, watching him carefully. "You're up." Ashton stated the obvious before he moved closer to the bed, until his knees touched it. "ut i ?" "May I ?" Ashton asked, cocking his head towards the space next to Michael.

Michael nodded, "quidem." "Of course."

Ashton sat down on the edge of the bed, toeing off his shoes before he laid down. Ashton was on the other end of the bed, a huge amount of space between the two soulmates.

"te potest magis. Et non mens." "You can come closer. I don't mind." Michael whispered, looking up at the white ceiling. "conice quid?" "Guess what ?" Ashton said and Michael hummed. "Vere scio quod piget." "I know that you actually do mind." Ashton said, he almost smiled, almost. Michael hummed again, moving his hand to the middle of the bed, Ashton bit his lip but linked their fingers.

"It's okay." Ashton said, knowing that he'd answer all of Michael's questions with those two words. "It's okay ?" Michael looked at Ashton properly for the first time, "it's okay." Ashton's confirmed, toying with Michael's fingers for a second.

"Is Luke okay ?" Michael asked, looks back up at the ceiling. "non Clifford. hiberent." "No Clifford. Stop it." Ashton said sternly, rolling over and pulling Michael to his chest, not really caring that Michael didn't want this. "I just want to know if he's okay." Michael said quietly. "No, no you don't. If I tell you he's upset you're gonna go and forget about yourself. If i say that he's fine and happy where he is you're still going to go. I don't want that. et dulcia linquimus youve necessitate neglecta te prohibere." "you've been neglecting yourself my sweet and I need you to stop." Ashton explained, pausing for a few seconds before he continued. "et vos postulo ut subsisto. Ego nuper vidi ego sum perturbatus et scio quia credis curare Sciendum quod iam ego curare non fuerit perturbatus. Scio te esse perturbatus. Scio te studiosiores fuisse omnium nostrum de terra et iustus ut animum debeat. Ego vere non. sed etiam, quae ego sum ut frangerentur. Hoc sumus congregati Clifford. hoc non potest esse." "You really need to stop. I've been watching you lately and I know that you think that I'm too upset to worry but you should know by now that I'd never be too upset to worry. I know you're upset. I also know that you've been taking extra care of all of us just to get your mind off of that and I appreciate it. I really do. but I've also admitted that I'm broken as well. we're in this together Clifford. you can't keep doing this to yourself."
