-Ashton-

"What does that mean?" I asked, staring at how our hands were now together. How did this moment suddenly become so intimate? Did Luke think it was intimate? No it was probably just me.

"Ashton, I don't think you'll be able to understand. I don't understand yet, I'm still trying to learn. But I don't really have anything to be able to truly look any deeper than just observing you," Luke mumbled sadly.

I rubbed the top of his hand using the pad of my thumb,
"Can I help? If you observe me and that gives you a lot of information. How can I assist in another way?" I asked. And he looked at me in curiosity. Minutes passed by and soon it felt like hours, but in reality only two minutes had gone by.

"You know that computer you have? Is there any way I could use it?" Luke asked. My head instantly moved up and down in response, though I really needed the device for schoolwork. What would my mom think? Honestly she'd probably just get David to make me a new one, but I wouldn't use it. I don't trust that man at all, knowing him he'll make it so he can see everything I do. He'll even make it so he can see through the webcam to look at me. I shuddered at the thought. I'll just have to use pen and paper, it's for a good cause.

"Would you like me to grab it now? I'll bring it down and I'll set it up for you to use. You have to make sure to hide it from David though," I said, standing up off the bed. He gave a smile, and I took it as a yes. Quickly going up the sets of stairs I had to, taking both the charger and the actual computer. With a quiet sigh leaving my lips quietly, I bit my lip. Brushing my hand along the top of the computer once, thinking of the things Luke would use it for. And no I'm not thinking about porn, I'm thinking about the research. How will he even know where to start?

I tiptoed downstairs, repeating the same steps  I had done when I had first left my room. After quietly closing the basement door, I stepped down each wooden step before my feet touched the basement floor. I turned and looked at Luke with a kind expression which he quickly returned, a blush forming on my cheeks. Hold it together Ashton, because if you don't hold it together you'll never forgive yourself for it.

"Waiting for you seemed like eternity Ashton," Luke chuckled, and I tried oh so desperately to get rid of the stupid blush on my cheeks. His words continually made it worse, and worse. I swear I probably looked like a tomato.

Luke pulled me onto his bed, and I was stunned until he asked if I was okay. And even at that point I just shook my head, stuttering out a few words, but I couldn't even comprehend what I had said.

"O-Okay," I began as I opened up the laptop, showing it to Luke. "I'm setting up a profile just for you, Do you know what profile picture you want?" I asked. He looked at the options available, and sure there were many to choose from but he instantly pointed at the camera.

"Why use something boring and pre-made?" He asked, clicking on the camera icon. The webcam turned  on and showed us. I cringed instantly, turning away on instinct. He turned my body towards his, causing me to look past him, not at him. "Please take a picture with me, I want to experience things Ashton. I want us to make memories," he sighed. A feeling of guilt struck me, I almost flinched and grabbed my chest.

"Okay I'll do it," I said, this time looking at his  eyes,  those amazing blue oceans. They seemed to become a lighter shade of blue as he he became happier and happier with my statement.

He quickly positioned us, I sat next to him of course, and it seemed as if we were just smiling and looking at the camera. The timer counting down slowly, it always irritated me how slow it was.

My eyes widened in shock as I felt cool lips against my cheek. I hadn't responded quick enough to the action and the picture popped on the screen.

"Save? Delete? Retake? Definitely save!" Luke said excitedly, but I was still in shock. Holding my bright pink cheek, Luke's arm wrapping around me. My body was so hot all of sudden, I was worried I may melt into a puddle.

I finally looked at the photo, we looked like some sort of normal happy, regular couple. I looked happy, and he looked- amazing. He had his eyes closed, his lips looked like they were placed so gently upon my cheek. One of his hands were laid upon my own which were in my lap, and the other one was pressed against the bed to push him forward to kiss me.

I looked down,
"You just..you just kissed me," I stated the obvious, my brain just trying its best to register what just happened. Why am I blanking out, this is what I've wanted. His lips they are so soft, his hands held my own as if I was porcelain. He acted as if he was worried I was going to break, why would I? If anything he'd break much easier than I would. Right?

"Mhm, I made you so warm. Cooling systems are the best systems though, you'll feel so hot but your body will regulate your temperature so you don't overheat. Wouldn't want to overheat," he said with a grin, unlocking his profile on the laptop. I don't know what the password was, he insisted that he should keep it private so I don't blow my mind without him there. Yes those were his exact words.

I rubbed my tired eyes, turning and smiling at him.
"I have to go to bed, if I don't I'll collapse I swear," I chuckled.

"I do not believe you will collapse, but if you insist," Luke said with a chuckle. Placing the laptop inside a compartment hidden under a slab of concrete that was part of the floor.

"Does David know you have that?" I asked suspiciously, hoping he wouldn't be caught with my computer, for he wouldn't be the only one in trouble, David would probably murder me.

"Nope!" He said with a smirk, "I'm sneaky."

"Are you sure you're a cyborg ?" I asked with a light laugh, moving farther away from him and closer to the basement door.

"I am," he said, his eyes goes a shocking light blue that glowed as he projected the photo of us against the basement wall. A smile on his face as he moved to look at me.

"You're amazing." I was in awe, that was just fantastic. David may be an asshole, but Luke is one of the best things he's ever given me.  Though technically I'm not supposed to have him but he likes me and I like him, we were bound to break the rules no matter what.

"Just because I have all these add ons doesn't mean I'm amazing. What you are, that's what truly is perfect."

I blushed while waving at him, not trusting my voice. He waved back with a smile, plugging himself back into the wires, his eyes going foggy as he closed them and laid down upon the bed. 

I turned on my heels and made the journey upstairs, quietly of course though it was harder due to the adrenaline coursing through me. When I got up a hand shut the door shut loudly, a hard glare looking at me.

"Oh David, nice to see you're awake," I said, getting ready to run for it, but he blocked my exit.

"Talking to Luke were you? About what?" He asked, his furious expression not faltering.

"How much you suck," I snapped, already  angry with the man, he moved his hand up in rage as if he was about to slap me. But I took the chance and ran upstairs, hearing him hot on my trail. I shut my door quickly and locked it. Breathing out when his bangs on the door subsided.

"Shit."

I'm so sleepy but I have a lot of homework today. Every single day school gives me about six hours of homework and it sucks, even on weekends I'm doing 4-5 hours each day. Weekends should be me relaxing, not me doing even more homework. :/
I thought this chapter was cute, I hope you liked it.
