Chapter Six, Crimes Against The Bro Code

Chapter Six, Crimes Against The Bro Code

(Calum's POV)

I saw Ashton, to bad he rushed away from me before I could even go and talk to him. I tried to talk to Luke after school, but when Luke talked to me, all he said was he did something but he didn't know what.

Something had happened between those two and I hadn't talk to either of them. I met with Michael after school by his locker, and, Ashton was there. He seemed to be talking to Michael but, I just couldn't tell.

"And you know, I just couldn't hold it in anymore" I heard Ashton's voice from the hallway as I got closer to him and Michael. I was really wondering what happened and why was Ashton telling Michael but not me? I saw Michael holding something in his hand, it looked like a stuffed animal of some sort. I approached Michael and Ashton, raising my arm and tapping Michael on the shoulder.

"Yo," I said, Michael turned around really surprised and shoved what ever he had in his hand in his backpack. Ashton looked out of it, like he was crying but also like he didn't know what he was doing a couple minutes ago. I looked at both of them confused.

"You guys look like your up to no good... is everything ok Ashton?" I asked, Ashton looked at the ground and shook his head.

"I gotta go" he said and then walked off down the hall way and right into the door, slamming his face on it and then backing up, taking a minute to look at the door a second time. This time he actually used the handle to open it and walked out of the door and down the stairs. I looked at Michael who looked way to innocent to not be hiding something.

"What-"

"He kissed Luke," Michael cut me off and looked at the ground. I FUCKING KNEW IT! But, if Asthon kissed Luke, why weren't they talking and telling us about there new relationship? this was weird, something was not right. I needed to know more about this whole situation. And I knew exactly where I was going to get answers.

Michael.

"What happened, huh? Why is Ashton acting like he's stupid? Why are you acting like your hiding something?" I asked, Michael shrugged.

"Ashton had a long day, he doesn't think Luke likes him back. And I'm not hiding anything" Michael said, looking at the ground. I knew that was a sign of lying.

"What was that stuffed animal thing?" I asked, Michael turned bright scarlet, now we were getting somewhere.

"It's umm... What are you talking about?" Michael said trying to avoid the topic. Now I really wanted to know what he was hiding and I intended to get it out of him one way or another.

"Michael I know it was something. You were holding it, so you know it was something too" I said reaching my hand out going to grab his bag. Michael pulled away quickly and grabbed the straps on his backpack.

"No," he demanded, then he sighed.

"Ok fine, I bring this stuffed animal to school with me because it's near and dear to my heart. Don't laugh at me" Michael said while blushing uncontrollably. I didn't laugh, I thought it was cute. Really cute.

I was just going to shake my head, tell him I wasn't going to laugh and pat him on the back, but what slipped out was slightly different.

"I'm not going to laugh, but, I am going to say that's really really adorable" Which was probably the biggest hint of me liking him in the entire universe. I cringed at the moment already even when it had only just happened. In fear that Michael would think I'm weird, a great relief was lifted off my shoulders when he giggled and looked at the ground, replying with,

"Cute is what I aim for" Michael was so cute. Probably to cute for his own good. But he was also hot, so hot. And this was one of my biggest issues, I wasn't sure if I wanted to hug him to death or fuck him to death. Either one would break me, Ashton and Luke's bro code. But I supposed Ashton and Luke might have today.

About a year ago, Luke liked this girl named Corrina and he wanted to invite her to become an official member of our friend group. Ashton told Luke no because she would take up all of Luke's time. That's when we all made a promise which we called our "bro code". we couldn't date inside our friends so if you got a girl she never hung around your friends thus eliminating third wheels and taking up a friends time when it's supposed to be bro time.

Now that Ashton and Luke seemed to have, well, something going on I'm not sure if that code is still in effect, so maybe I could go places with Michael. I just didn't know if he liked me back and there's no way I was asking.

It's one thing asking a girl out, worst case is she has a boyfriend or doesn't like you like that. But when your a guy asking another guy out, there's like a bunch more worst cases. He could be straight, he could not like he like that, he could be gay and have a boyfriend already or he could be straight and half a girlfriend. To top it off, now they know your gay and are probably going to go around spreading stuff.

"Calum?" Michael asked, I turned to face him. It seemed like I was lost in thought for a while.

"Oh, sorry." I said quietly. I walked closer to Michael and then pointed to the stairs.

"Wanna head home then?" I asked, Michael nodded and started to walk down the stairs. As we were walking, who decides to show up? The queen of douches Louis Tomlinson and the king of the douches Niall Horan.

"Just saw Ashton looking a bit out of sorts... What did you guys do to him?" Niall asked, I rolled my eyes and pushed him away so I could get passed him and down the stairs. Michael was standing his ground, but I tapped him on the shoulder.

"C'mon dude, not worth it remember?" I said, but Michael looked determined to beat the shit out of them.

"Oh no, purple head is gonna hurt us. I'm so scared!" Louis taunted making Michael more mad then he already was. I grabbed onto Michael's shirt hem.

"Let's go, it's not worth it" I said again, but Michael just stood there, his fists starting to clench. Niall laughed at him.

"Hey rainbow bright, what 'cha going to do, huh?" Niall said, and something inside of me snapped and I shoved Niall hard, he fell this time, tripping down the stairs. It was only about half a flight but it looked like it hurt.

Louis grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, about to send his fist into my face but Michael kneed him in the side, making his grip on my shirt loosen enough for me to break free and shove him down the rest of the stairs too.

I walked down the stairs now, peering at Niall and Louis who were tangled up in each other at the bottom of the stairs, both of them staring at me.

"You're asking for it Hood. Fucking asking for it!" Louis yelled, I shrugged and walked away with Michael who was still giving a death stare to both Louis and Niall.

"Ignore them, trust me they're not worth it" I said as me and Michael walked out of the school doors. It was all a bit strange walking by the possessed house as if it was nothing now.

I didn't even call it the possessed house anymore, it was Michaels house. I couldn't explain what happened to me the other day though, I don't think I ever could. I didn't bring it up to Michael, I wouldn't want him moving because he thinks his house is possessed. I didn't want Michael moving.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Maybe Luke and Ashton will get everything worked out, yeah?" Michael said as we stopped in front of his house, I nodded and then... I didn't know what to do. Thankfully Michael did it first.

He hugged me, and like a real hug. The way he embraced me made me never want to let go.

I really hoped that Luke and Ashton were going to start dating, that way I wouldn't make any crimes against our bro code.

"I don't wanna stay, wanna run away but I'm trapped under your spell."
