'lil (sad) blurb

(Cashton by lazy-tongue on DeviantArt)

I thought of this earlier today, and since I haven't updated in a while and will most likely never write a story based off of this, I decided to publish it. Someone else can use it as an idea if they want and/or change the ship.

I hope it makes sense lol

Ashton knows it's not healthy, to be driving Calum home every day from various bars across the city, to listen to his sweet words and then his abusive ones, to having to pry him from every person that catches the brown eyes, to making promises and enduring the time when he breaks them. Ashton never wanted to be in these situations.

But he loves Calum. And at the end of the day, when Calum is somewhere around half-sober and blubbering, when he climbs into bed next to Ashton's cold, curled up body, when he molds himself to his back and Ashton can feel his fluffy hair tickling his neck, when he's allowed the warmth of kind Calum, when he doesn't have to face him and his words, it makes it all worth it. That's why he stays. Right next to Calum...

Slowly withering away.
