Battle of the Roommates (Larry/Lashton AU)

Chapter 8

ASHTON'S POV

I brought the last bite of cereal to my lips, "so you don't like this one because it doesn't have a good gym center?"

"Right, and I don't think Luke would like it because the programs only have 3 star ratings." Harry carried both of our bowls to the sink, "have you heard back from Calum or Michael yet?"

"Yeah, yesterday Calum called, said he wanted to attend a university and would make Michael go to whichever he went too." I laughed thinking back to the phone call. I kept scrolling, passing a few colleges that looked decent so I wrote the names and contact numbers down.

"Good morning handsome", Luke's lips were placed on my cheek. I nodded and kept looking at the screen, time was running short and we all agreed that we wanted to go to the same school to study media. Harry finished with the last of the dishes and sat behind Louis on the couch, pulling his boyfriend into his chest as they watched tv. I patted the chair next to me for Luke and he took it, smiling as he read the list of campus' I had down.

"I like this one", he pointed to one located in Bournemouth, Uk.

I read over the description, "Harry I'm going to leave the list with you, Luke likes the one circled in red and we will talk more later." I heard a goodbye from both of them before we left their flat. "You have 15 minutes to get ready."

"Ash, get ready for what?"

"Don't ask, just make sure you dress casual."

He did as he was told and in no time we were driving all the way until I could see it. A beautiful lake sat in the middle of a deserted park, and we were going to swim.

"Whoa Ash, are you crazy? It's 50° and we didn't bring swim trunks", he poked the water with his finger and quickly pulled back. "Really Ash, I-what are you doing?" He yelled as he looked at my now naked body.

"Night swim!" I didn't wait for an answer, I simply jumped into the water and let the cool liquid cover me before rising and getting a breathe. Luke gave me his famous skeptic look but none the less, was edging toward the chilly lake. I had to admit I was cold but I knew once Luke and I were close it wouldn't be too bad.

"If we die of hypothermia, I'm so blaming you." He paddled next to me instantly wrapping his arms around my torso, I allowed him too and turned to face him. Thankfully the sandy floor was just letting me stand on my tippy toes without going under, I pecked Luke's nose.

"Blame me all you want, all I know is that when I die, I'll get to be next to you for the rest of eternity."

"Don't go getting all soft on me Irwin", he playfully shoved me, but almost immediately pulled me back in for a kiss.

It lasted longer than most, I gripped the back of his neck as I felt him tangle his fingers in my curls, tugging lightly. I deepened the kiss and wrapped my legs around his waist, leaving no space between us. He pulled back before it got any more heated and rested his forehead on mine, "you're perfect, Ashton Irwin".

"I'll never be as amazing as you though, Lucas Hemmings", he rubbed his nose against mine and we laughed. "Why hadn't we told each other how we felt sooner?" I asked as I still held tightly to my now boyfriend.

"Because, if we had, things may have turned out different and we wouldn't be doing this right now." He pecked my lips, "and we wouldn't be doing this."

Kiss.

"And this."

Kiss.

"And especially, not this", he threw me up, causing me to fall into the water, laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. His face was beaming, the moonlight making him look more beautiful then any day before. I just continued smiling at him. Why did things have to end?

**

"Ash, please turn it off."

I reached over and swiped my phone screen to get the annoying alarm shut off. As soon as I settled back into my boyfriend, I then felt the terrible pain coming up my ass and back. "You killed me last night", I grumbled.

"Hey don't blame me, Harry and Louis made it look less painful. But then again they are used to it, this is a first for us."

I pulled his face down and kissed his lips gently, "yeah, that's true. But I wouldn't change a thing from last night, it was perfect and you are perfect."

"There you go getting soft again", he kissed me back, rolling over so he was on top of me. He dipped his head and bit at my exposed neck. (It's exposed cause obviously Ashton doesn't wear turtlenecks or anything like that to bed duh!) Luke left a mark before leaving wet kisses down my chest, letting his hands roam to various parts of my body.

We wrapped up our morning make out session and quickly switched into our day clothes, Harry had already made his way into our apartment and was relaxing on the sofa. He was flicking through the channels.

"Ash", he mumbled, "rate it".

I exchanged a look with my boyfriend before sitting next to him, "rate what?"

"You know", he winked at me, a smug look on his face. Oh dear lord!

"Harry! Not when he's right here!"

Luke cracked a laugh, "wait are you seriously asking him to rate our first gay sex experience?"

I covered my face with my hands, "yeah I know it's not someth-"

"Ten."

Harry lost the smug look on his face and burst into a fit of laughter, standing up to high five Luke. Where did this boldness come from? I laughed myself, "yeah definitely a ten, way better than sex with girls!"

Both of them nodded, Harry was still struggling to stop laughing. He bid us farewell, "I'll let you know how the uni picking goes!"

"Luke?" I stared at him as if I was about to ask a life or death question.

"Mmmm?" he mumbled, looking straight back at me with a smile. I sighed deeply before leaning over and picking absently at the University pamphlets.

"We will all still be together right? I mean even when we all leave and go to college? Like you won't change and ditch me or anything?"

His face flashed a horrified look before he scooped me into his arms. "Ashton Irwin! No, don't ever even think such a thing! You are mine and mine only and I love you to the moon and back. Hell babe, if anything the four of us will just cause mahem and fuck shit up together!" He emphasized the word together and smothered me in kisses as to finalize his statement. "We will all be alright! Promise baby."

THE END LOVES (Well doubt there'll be a sequel but OMF FUNNIEST BOOK YET HAHA)
