It was the first day of school for both of the boys. Junior year for Ash and freshman year for Luke. They had gym class 1st period together so they thought that was good. Ashton was hoping that Luke might finally talk to him. He didn't know why the young boy didn't talk to him. Considering they grew up together, Luke should be perfectly comfortable around him. Luke is just a little... socially awkward I guess you'd put it.
They hopped on the bus and Ashton sat with Luke. Luke shot him a look then continued to look out the fogged up window.
"Hey Luke? Are you excited for your first day of high school?" Ashton asked curiously.
"I-uh I guess. I mean I'm kinda nervous considering I won't know anyone. But I'm glad that you'll be there." He immediately stops himself. Ashton was so glad that he was happy that Ashton was there.
"Really? Well that's great! Freshman year is by far the best!" Ashton says to the young one confidently. Even though he was lying a little.
"Really? It seems like it'd be the worst since you're just getting used to everything." Ashton was very surprised that Luke was being so open with him all of a sudden. But, he decided not to mention it considering Luke might tune him out again.
"Nah! If you're open minded you can make friends really easily! That's how I'm so popular now!" Squealed Ashton with a grin.
"Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to use that." Luke responded giving a soft smile.

The boys were in the locker room getting ready. Ashton was talking to a boy with spiky blonde hair. He had been to Ashton's house a few times before. His name was Michael. Luke just stood in the corner of the room waiting to get his locker number.
"Hood: locker 987. Hemmings: locker 988..." Coach Morino called. When Ashton heard Luke's last name his head shot up immediately. He couldn't help but look at Luke's ass as he made his way to his locker. He looked so good in those warn out black skinny jeans.
The boy that was called before him stood beside him opening the locker. He was tan, black hair, thick eyebrows, and about an inch shorter than Luke. Luke remembered the advice Ashton gave him on the bus that morning...
"Nah! If you're open minded you can make friends really easily! That's how I'm so popular now!"
He could still hear Ashton's adorable high pitched voice in his head.
"Hi I'm Luke." He said. The boy next to him said the same thing, just he replaced Luke's name with his name. Calum. They giggled.
"I'm Luke haha. I'm a freshman. What about you?" Luke said in a friendly way.
"Haha hi I'm Calum. It's all good in my hood. Hehe Hood's my last name." Calum said, laughing at his own pun. "I'm a sophomore."
"That's cool. Maybe you could show me the ropes of the school, eh?" Luke suggested. "That'd be cool." Calum said, his big pink lips forming a smile.

After running the track for forty-five minutes, the boys came back inside to change. As Luke took off his shirt, he noticed Ashton in the corner with the same boy. He saw him strip his shirt and couldn't help but open his mouth and continue to stare. The small amount of hair Ashton had on his chest combine with the 6 pack of abs he contained made Luke just want to have him.
"Earth to Luke." Calum said repeatedly snapping in front of Luke's face. Calum's strong Australian accent was attractive but, not as much as Ash's. His was pure sexiness.
"Yeah! Sorry I just kinda, zoned out for a second..." Luke said attempting to look over at Ashton again.
"Haha, bro. For real? Ashton Irwin? You'd never have a chance with him. He's never dated anyone and probably never will." Said Calum unexpectedly.
"Hey! What makes you think I'm gay you shit!" Luke said playfully shoving Calum.
"I'm sorry man! It's just, I've noticed he's attractive too. I've tried to get him to go out with me but, he politely refuses. Like when he rejects you, you can't stay mad." Said Calum matter-of-factly.
"Oh...well I'm sure he'd date someone...right? Because I've known him for a while and yeah..." Luke said. He now knew he was gay. He know knew that he wanted to be with Ashton. More than anything.
"Yeah well, I wouldn't bet on it." Calum said right as the bell rings. He hears Calum say his goodbye as he walks out. Luke puts his clothes in his locker and begins to walk out.
"Hey! Hemmings!" The coach calls to him. "Yes coach Morino?" Asked Luke. It's the first day, if he's ready in trouble he might just die. "Uh, boy." The small man said putting a hand on Luke's shoulder. "I think it'd be best if you changed in the shower stalls. Preferably all the way in the back. I don't want the other boys to feel uh... uncomfortable around you." The coach said. No sugar coating at all. Plain blunt.
Luke felt like punching the man but, instead he ran out of the locker room sobbing. He couldn't help it. Even the coach could tell he was gay. Was he really that obvious? "I'm such a fag." Luke thought to himself. Maybe he should talk to Ashton about it considering he probably had to deal with this too.
"Ashton! Ashton!!" Luke started screaming. "Ash- Ashton.'' finally spotted him. He ran as fast as his skinny little legs could go. Ashton's arms opened and Luke ran into them.
Luke cried into the older boys muscular chest as Ashton pet his quiffed hair.
"Luke baby, what's wrong?" Ashton said with concern in his voice. As long as Luke was in his arms, he was happy. But since he's sad, so is Ashton.
"The coach told me to- to change in the showers b-because he thought I'd make th-the other boys uncomfortable." the blue eyed boy continued to cry. "He- he can tell I'm gay." Luke looked up. Ashton was quite shocked to hear Luke say he was gay. Yet, he was the happiest person in the world.
"You know what Luke? He's a douche bag. You don't have to. But, if you want to, I'd be happy to go back there with ya." Ashton said gripping the younger boys shoulders with his extremely long fingers.
"Thanks man. I really appreciate it." Luke said blushing. There's honestly nothing he wanted more than to see Ashton in his boxers. And Ashton was almost obsessed with Luke's abs.
"Anytime. And I mean anytime." Ashton said winking and walking away.
As the older boy left, he was thinking how stupid he was for flirting like that.
"What the hell is wrong with you Ashton! You could have fucking ruined everything! You idiot!" Ashton thought snaking himself in the head.
Luke on the other hand was extremely turned on. He tried not to think about the large erection he was getting as he walked to 2nd period...
