Blackout [lashton]

Chapter 6

Luke examined his outfit in the mirror. Black tank top and skinny jeans with loads of bracelets. Tyler had said to come in black and casual. Luke frowned and glanced at Ashton, who was peacefully taking a nap in his own bed, and Luke felt a pang of desire to hold him. However, tyler had texted him that he had to be on time to the party, and Luke didn't want to get locked in the dorms. So he simply pressed his lips to Ashton's forehead and left the room quickly to get to this party.

About ten minutes after Luke left, Ashton got up to see an empty bed, but Luke was always gone, so he wasen't suprised. Ashton dragged himself out of bed and glanced at the time. 9:00 pm. He was supposed to go to some weird party with Calum and Michael at 9:30, right before doors lock, so he should probably get ready. He put on a black shirt with skinny jeans and grabbed his wallet. The card had said all black was required, so he had dressed accordingly.

"You ready?" Michael came in, followed by Calum.

"I think so." He said, pausing. "Why are your lips swollen?" He squinted his eyes, and the two boys blushed
furiously. "Gross!" He shrieked.

"Let's just go before were locked in." Michael said, cheeks red.

They found the entrance to the party to be a locked steel door, which was opened using a password on the card. They had then taken a small, dark staircase to a rather wet sewer, and then finally to another plain black door. They input the final password and the door swung open to a large tunnel.

The tunnel was pitch black, but uv lights made fluorescent paint light up the darkness. There was a bar that was glowing with neon light, and heavy music was playing. People were only visible by paint that was in large buckets in a line. There were neon colored doors lining the walls.

"Hey." A boy with barely visible features, but a bright green and orange design over one grey eye. "Give me your cards, and take these." The three boys handed him their card before he handed them 3 things that looked like aluminum pill poppers, but each one had a pill that looked like a smarty. Ashton pocketed his.

"No, you all have to take one now." The guy said, blocking the entrance.
Michael and Calum shrugged and each took a pill dry. Ashton was not as
willing.

"What is it?" Ashton asked carefully.

"Listen, curly, if you take this, you will have the best night of your life. If you don't want to, you can go home and never be invited again." The boy said, rolling his eyes.

"Fine." Ashton was planning on just holding the pill in his mouth and then spitting it out when the boy plugged his nose and Ashton opened his mouth to breathe when the boy poured water down his throat, washing the pill along with it.

Ashton coughed a few times, and then straightened back up. "I don't feel any different."

"Well, enjoy the party." The boy stepped aside. Michael and Calum took off into the crowd, and Ashton tried to have fun, but the pill didn't feel like it was working.

"come on man. All of us have to take it." Tyler handed Luke a pink pill. The music was blaring around them, and they were at the bar.

"Dude, I'm not taking E! I know that it's usually cut with, like, meth." Luke said, denying the offer.

Tyler glared at him. "Do you want money?"

"Fine." Luke took the pill and finished off his drink. "Happy?"

"Soon you will be."

A few hours later, Luke found himself in the center of the dance mob. There were several girls in fluorescent paint trying to grind on him, but he didn't want them. What he wanted was what he saw about 10 feet away, with curly light brown hair and had paint all over his arms.

"Ashton." He murmured before running over to him almost pathetically. Luke slid his hands around Ashton's waist slowly, and felt the boy tense up. "Ashton Irwin." He muttered in Ashton's ear, and Ashton turned to face him.

"Luke Hemmings." He muttered, seeming different to Luke, but Luke thought it was the drugs.

"Really, ashy? That's how you greet your roommate?" Luke whispered, tickling Ashton's ear.

"That's how you greeted me." Ashton reminded him.

"Then I guess we're even." Luke muttered, leaning in, almost touching Ashton's lips.

"Maybe not." Ashton said, not pulling away. "You did leave me alone after school monday. All alone in your bed."
"I can make that up to you." Luke grabbed Ashton's head and tried to pull him closer, but Ashton held back.

"Not in public, you man whore."
Ashton said jokingly.

"I know just the place." Luke said, remembering the side rooms and how he gets paid extra for every one he uses. He dragged Ashton over to an empty
one and kicked the door open, locking it behind them.

The room had black walls with fluorescent splatter paint, a leather couch, a beand a small dresser. Luke pressed Ashton to the couch and straddled him, leaning over him, almost touching his lips.

Ashton slowly felt up Luke's body, making his way under Luke's shirt before retracting his hand and bringing it to Luke's neck.

Luke could hear Ashton's heavy breathing, and feel himself growing through his pants, even though they hadn't even kissed. He stared into Ashton's wide eyes and was about to finally close the space between them when he realized something.

"You didn't take the drugs." Luke muttered, pulling back.

"Are you crazy? Of course I did."
Ashton said, sounding frightened.

"Don't lie to me, Irwin." Luke said firmly.

Ashton sighed deeply, looking sad. "I- I didn't want to get hurt, or get into trouble. I went to the bathroom after swallowing and puked it up. Pl-please don't tell! I want to clme here again, especially-" ashton trailed off, tears making thin lines in the paint on his cheeks.

"Shh. It's okay. Neither did I." Luke whispered. "I hid it in my cheek and then spit it out."

"But you- why did you not kiss me?"
"I don't want your first kiss to be at some party where you have to act like you're hopped up on E." Luke smiled.
"Why do you think it's my first kiss?" Ashton pouted.

"Shut up." Luke said, laughing. "I don't want to force you to do anything."
Ashton frowned. "So should I just leave?"

Luke frowned. "I still need to make up for that time I left you." He drew Ashton back to his chest and turned so that Ashton was inbetween the couch and him. "Night, ashy."

Ashton felt the pills press against his thigh, and he lightly felt the outline of the container.

"Don't you think about taking a single one." Luke whispered.

"Why not? If it will finally make me happy-" Ashton said.

"why wouldn't you be happy?" Luke flipped Ashton around so they were facing eachother.

"You're so stupid." Ashton said with a tight smile before closing his eyes and drifting to sleep. Right before he fell asleep, however, he felt something pres against his lips for a brief second, and he fell asleep smiling.
