  Luke's P.O.V.

  I woke up before anyone else and slowly climbed out of the bunk, careful not to awake Ashton. When my feet hit the ground, I started walking towards the kitchen area. Michael was already in there, playing on his laptop. I sat down next to him and looked at his screen. He was on tumblr, replying to some fans and what not.

  "Mikey?" I asked and he looked over at me.

  "Yeah?"

  "I've noticed some things recently." He raised an eyebrow. "It's about Calum."

  "Really?" he asked and I nodded.

  "When we were at the mall, you thought I was jealous of Ashton. There was a hard look on your face. When Calum and Ash went to the movies, and I said that maybe they liked each other, and you got that same look on your face. When I said that I didn't want to like Ashton, you muttered something. I heard you. I know what you said," I whispered the last sentence and Michael's face paled. "And when Ash and I started dating, you were overly happy. I know you weren't just happy for us."

  Michael took a moment for my words to soak in and he sighed.

  "Luke...I just...don't know, okay?"

  "You know it's okay, right?"

  "No! It's not! I...I can't...I don't want to talk about it." He got up to walk towards the bunk area.

  "Michael," I said softly. "If you never tell anyone, something's going to happen and it's going to slip out, which will make it a lot worse." Michael turned around and sat next to me. He sighed heavily and stared at his hands.

  "Luke..." he started and I raised an eyebrow. "I'm gay."

  Ashton's P.O.V.

  I woke up and noticed Luke wasn't next to me. I looked around, before I heard voices in the living room. I got up and ran a hand through my messy hair as I walked towards the noise. Calum, Michael, and Luke were joking around, playing video games and eating snacks.

  "Morning, sunshine," Luke chirped and I smiled before mumbling a lazy, "morning." As I walked by him, I lightly pecked his lips before getting a cup of orange juice and a banana. I guess I was taking too long, because Luke walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. I smiled a bit and Luke bit off a piece of my banana.

  "Really?" I asked and he nodded, before swallowing and lightly pressing his lips to mine. I smiled wider and pulled away.

  "Guess what?" Luke asked and I raised an eyebrow.

  "What?"

  "Your birthday's in five days," he whispered and I stared at him.

  "Are you serious?" I asked and he smiled.

  "Yup. Today's the second."

  "It's already July?" He nodded and I smiled.

  "Yay."

  "What are you doing? Can you guys hurry up? I'm trying to play a game, here," Calum said and I rolled my eyes before Luke turned me around so I was facing him. He pressed his lips to mine and I closed my eyes, leaning into him as he softly moved his lips against mine. I kissed him back, enjoying the feel of his lips against mine.

  "You taste like Doritos," I muttered and he laughed, pulling away.

  "C'mon, let's not ignore our band mates."

  We walked back and Luke sat on the couch. I went to sit next to him, but he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me between his legs. I blushed as he tangled our legs together. He continued playing FIFA with Michael and Calum, his arms wrapped around my waist, the controller still in his hands. He had his chin resting on my shoulder as he concentrated on the game.

  After about five minutes, I started getting uncomfortable in this position, so I started shifting around. Luke loosened his legs a bit and I settled back against his chest. 

 "You okay?" he asked and I nodded. He tangled our legs back together and lightly kissed my cheek. 

 "AWWEE," Calum squealed behind his hand and I blushed heavily, turning back to face Luke. He smiled and pecked my lips. Calum squealed again and Michael laughed.

  "I think Calum is the biggest Lashton shipper out there," he joked and Calum fake glared.

  "It's just so freaking adorable, okay? Jeez," Calum said, his bottom lip jutting out. I smiled and Luke stared at me.

  "What?" I whispered.

  "This is going to sound so fucking weird, but you're so perfect, Ash," he whispered back and I blushed again. He placed a hand on my cheek and leaned in, brushing our lips together, before fully connecting them. His lips moved softly against mine and I kissed back, flipping around so I was sitting in his lap. I wrapped my arms around his waist as he moved his hands to my sides, pulling me closer to him.

  "Before one of you guys gets pregnant, can you not do it on the couch?" Michael asked and I pulled away from Luke, blushing madly.

  "He's so stupid," Luke murmured and I raised an eyebrow. "He thinks one of us can get pregnant."

  I giggled and Luke smiled before lightly pecking my lip.

  "I have an idea!" he exclaimed and I jumped so high, I would've fallen off of the couch if he hadn't have caught me.

  "Well damn, don't kill him," Calum said and Luke smiled.

  "Anyway, I'm going to take you somewhere today," Luke smiled, leaning in. "As in a date."

  "Really?" I asked and he nodded.

  "I think we should show the fans. We all know managements going to tell us not to tell anyone, so why don't we just tell the fans ourselves?"

  "Luke has a point. Management isn't going to let you guys come out, so might as well do it yourselves," Calum said and I nodded.

  "Okay then," I said. "Let's do it."

  THIS IS SO FREAKING SHORT OK IM SORRY
