  I ran after Cal as Gus dropped us off at the nearest theater.

  "I'm thinking about seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre, how about it?" Calum asked and I nodded as we started walking towards the concession stand.

  "Are you guys on a date?" A girl about fifteen asked and Calum and I exchanged looks before Calum giggled.

  "No," he told her and lightly shoved me.

  "We're here to see a scary movie and Luke and Mikey didn't wanna come," I told her, pouting.

  "Hey, can I have a picture with you guys? If it's too busy, that's fine-" .

  "No, it's okay, c'mere," Calum laughed and let the girl get in between me and her. Calum kissed her cheek right as the shutter went off and she smiled.

  "Thanks. Can you follow me on Twitter as well?" she asked, handing me a slip of paper.

  "Yeah."

  "Thanks." She hugged me. "You have no idea how much I freaking love you, Ash. Don't hurt yourself, okay?" She pulled away and winked before hugging Calum and walking away.

  "I like our fans," I muttered as Calum and I bought our food and tickets and headed to the theater.

  *Luke's P.O.V.*

  I stared at the space where Ashton just left.

  "Why don't you tell him?" Michael asked, walking into the bunking area.

  "Yeah, that's a fucking brilliant idea, tell your best friend who you happen to be in a band with that you may have feelings for him," I snapped and Michael flinched.

  "I was only trying to help."

  "I didn't mean to snap," I apologized. "I think him and Calum like each other."

  Michael stared at me.

  "You think?" There was an edge to his voice and I stared at him weirdly.

  "Yeah. Did you see how fast Ash shot up when him and Cal were going to the movies?"

  "Maybe Ash only likes Calum," Michael said and I sighed.

  "Calum has been cuddling into Ashton even more than he already does." I sighed again. "I don't want to like Ash."

  Michael muttered something and I looked up at him.

  "What?" I asked and Michael shook his head.

  "It's nothing."

  "Were you insulting me?" My voice was small and Michael smiled before shaking his head again.

  "No, Luke, I was...thinking aloud."

  "Oh okay." There was a small silence. "What would the fans think if...if Ashton and I got together?"

  "I'm pretty sure they'll be okay with it, Lukey. Lashton is one of the most shipped bromances."

  "It's just a bromance to Ashton," I murmured and looked down.

  "I wouldn't be too sure about that." Michael grinned widely, but before I could say anything, he shot up. "We should go to the park!"

  "Playgrounds?" I asked and Michael laughed.

  "Yes, let's go to a playground."

  *Ashton's P.O.V.*

  "Holy fucking hell, that was scary," I whispered as we walked out of the theater.
