Soul's mark (C.A.L.M)

Part 11

It was the day after. The boys were still asleep at Luke's house. Liz was still away on a business trip and Luke was a little worried. Liz never used to leave so often, he missed her a lot. Honestly Luke didn't even know what his mum did as a job. All he knew was that she worked for some bank.

Ashton was the first to wake, he looked down and admired his sleeping soulmates. He felt like the luckiest guy in the world, even in the darkest times they were the light. Calum rolled over in his sleep and bumped his head against Michael's, causing them both to groan.

"What did you do that for!" Michael whined.

"I didn't mean to!" Calum grumbled, rolling back over to his original side.

Luke was woken up by the morning bicker and nestled his face into his pillow. None of the boys were morning people.

"Guys it's like 9:30. We missed school so you got to sleep in, I think it's time we all got up." Ashton said to the boys, reluctant groans followed.

Luke was the first to sit up... well, he attempted to before he fell back into the sheets with a whine.

The boys all looked at him was raised eyebrows. Calum tried to sit up next and the cursed under his breath.

"What's the matter you two?" Michael said with a mischievous smirk on his face.

"I'm in pain," Luke stated, he had never experienced this before.

"Yeah, my ass hurts. Ass hole." Calum added, making Michael chuckle.

"It'll go away... probably I don't know." Ashton attempted to reassure.

"Ash you have never even bottomed before." Michael pointed out.

"The only one of us who hasn't."

"Mikey's bottomed?" Luke asked curiously

"Yep." Ash and Cal said in unison.

"It is a rare occurrence! One day I will top Ashton." Michael exclaimed.

Ashton and Michael were both very dominant. Whenever they were intimate Michael always tried to top but Ashton always won. Ashton refused to be a bottom.

"Not gonna happen."

"I still can't imagine Mikey as a bottom," Luke interjected.

"Keep it that way." Said, Michael.

"Come on Mikey it's not that bad." Calum teased.

"This is a massive tangent. Everyone up!" Ashton announced.

Groans.

"Or I will make you all go to school."

They were up.

So they ended up finishing their song lyrics completely after having some breakfast. They were now sitting on Luke's couch playing Mario Kart. Once again Michael came in first place, followed by Calum in second, Ashton in fourth and Luke in seventh.

"Guys want to help me redye my hair?" Michael asked after the boys all complained about not wanting to play Mario Kart anymore. They were sore losers.

"Are you going to keep it red?" Calum replied.

"I mean unless you guys have suggestions yeah."

"We can go to the store and get dye then go to my house cause its closer," Ashton suggested.

They all agreed and got dressed. The boys all put their clothes from yesterday on because they didn't plan on staying the night while Luke grabbed a clean shirt from his room. They slid their shoes on, grabbed their phones and were out the door.

Luke had no idea how many colours you could dye your hair. They were standing in an aisle, in front of shelves and shelves of hair dye. Luke could see your typical colours as well as shades he had never even heard of. Magenta? Cobalt? Bubblegum pink? Carnelian? He felt like he walked into a fancy art store.

Michael was looking over all the colours with thoughtful eyes.

"Okay here's the question. What colour have I not already dyed my hair?"

The boys thought for a moment.

"I've only ever seen you with red hair," Luke admitted.

"Orange?" Ashton suggested.

"Yeah, you've never had orange."

"Orange it is." Michael picked up the orange dye as well as the other tools and products he would need. He paid for his things and they headed to Ashton's house.

"Okay, Michael you look hot with orange hair," Calum admitted once they had finished dying his hair.

"Did I not look hot before?"

"Nope." Calum chuckled.

"That's so mean Cally!" Luke pouted.

"You are so adorable," Ashton said, placing a kiss on Luke's forehead.

"Thankoo Ashy."

The boys cooed at Luke. He was being very cute and Ashton was taking notice the way he spoke, it sounded different. He sounded different.

It was now about 1 in the afternoon. Who knew dying your hair took so long. The boys all exited the bathroom where they were admiring Michael's hair and went into the Lounge room.

"Hey, Lukey?" Ashton started once they were all seated on the couches. Michael had started looking through Ashton's DVDs.

"Ya?" Luke replied innocently.

"I can't help but wonder, do you by chance have a little space?"

Luke blushed deeply and looked down at his bracelets. It was true, he did have a little space. It didn't affect him too much usually but when he was with the boys he found himself accidentally slipping. Luke had never told anyone, it wasn't that serious. Luke realised that he must have accidentally slipped just now without realising. He had never told anyone about it.

"S-sorry." He mumbled, immediately insecure.

"Don't be sorry kitten. So you do?" Calum had stood up and was now in front of Luke, his hand cupping his cheek and his thumb traced lightly over his cheek.

Luke nodded, looking up at Calum.

"I just slip sometimes and don't realise," Luke admitted.

"That's totally okay Lukey. In fact, I think you would be a cute little." Ashton reassured.

"Are you in your space right now?" Michael asked from the floor near the DVD rack.

Luke shook his head. Ashton pointing out that he had noticed it make Luke immediately snap out of it.

"You know this reminds me, Ash. We never went through that other stuff regarding the whole daddy thing." Michael pointed out.

"What other stuff?" Luke asked curiously.

"Ash's daddy kink isn't just like an in the moment thing. You know how he always tells us off for swearing and stuff? Mostly me though because Mikey is pretty dominant. If we break the rules we sometimes get punishments. Some of the punishments can be sexual but they aren't always." Calum explained.

"Really? I had no idea. Wait, what kinda punishments?" Luke was surprised by this information. He wasn't against it though, he actually liked the thought of it. A lot.

"Spankings and being ignored mostly. But I imagine with you it would be like timeouts and stuff when you're in your space." Calum replied again.

"That is if you were okay with it. We wouldn't make you go along with any of this if you didn't want to or you were uncomfortable. We use the colour system too." Michael added.

"Okay." Was all Luke said, blushing a little.
"cool. But a fair warning. We happen to be very kinky sometimes," Michael smirked.
Luke didn't mind the thought of it.
