"So you're telling me that instead of jumping Ashton Irwin and making out with him until both your lips fall off, you fall asleep on him and cuddle?" Andrea accuses him while Luke nods along to these accusations. "You really have gone soft on me Luke Hemmings."

'Making out until our lips fall off isn't the ideal way to start a relationship.' Luke types to her.

"Of course it is. That's how they know they're physically attracted to you. He already knows you're sweet and quirky but he has to know if you'll be fun to be with romantically." Andrea tells him.

'I have kissed someone in ages. It's going to be so bad.' Luke looked worried and insecure as he typed this. It was Ashton Irwin, world famous singer, that he was trying to impress and would probably fail.

"Luke it's just like riding a bike. Besides when you feel it, you feel it." Andrea tells him standing up from her spot next to him and patting him on the back as she retreats to her bedroom.

Luke sat there thinking for a while. He was good looking and if things didn't work with Ashton he would be heart broken but he will probably find some other handsome boy one day. Ashton Irwin was a then and now and he knew he had to take his shot before it was too late. He had to stop being so shy and scared of being hurt because he was just letting life pass by.

He grabbed his phone, which was always close to him because of the typing app, and found Ashton's contact. He needed a spur of the moment confidence to initiate anything and now seemed to be the time. 

To Ashton:

Hey Ashton. Are you free later today?

The reply came almost instantly, which  made Luke smile widely.

From Ashton:

Yes! I'm free after my concert. That wouldn't be until after ten.

To Ashton:

Sounds perfect for a night adventure!

Luke smiled at his own confidence as he waited for a reply. He went to his room to choose out the perfect outfit - a blue tank top that showed off his muscles,  dark blue ripped jeans and white shoes. Andrea came in to say goodbye before heading to work and woo'd at Luke's look.

From Ashton:

How about I just pick you up on my lunch break, so we can eat and you can enjoy another one of our awesome concerts?

To Ashton:

Sounds perfect! Pick me up whenever.

Luke fixed his hair and made sure his phone was charged before sitting in the living room and reading from his favorite book 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower.' He was so absorbed by it's pages and characters that he didn't even notice the front door open or the knocks before it.

"You really shouldn't leave the front door unlocked?" Ashton told Luke who jumped up and was about to attack the intruder.

Luke grabbed his shirt by his chest as his heart beat rapidly believing he was about to be murdered. He reached for his notepad next to him and wrote 'Then why did you try to open it?'

"It's an instinct. Sorry." Ashton said staring at Luke who's book had flew across the room and who even as a frightened, terrified man still looked extremely attractive. "You look really good."

Luke smiled as a thank you and pointed back to him as if to say 'you do too.' Now it was Ashton's turn to smile and take a step closer to Luke. Luke picked up the fallen book and arranged the pillows. He could be quite obsessive over having a neat living space. He stood up from his crouched position only to come face to face with Ashton Irwin.

"Hi." Ashton said placing a hand on Luke's soft pale cheek. Luke mouthed a hi taking a step forward invading Ashton's personal space. He placed his hand over Luke's by his cheek and smiled.

"Is your sister around?" Ashton asked coming in closer, his nose touching Luke's and his voice growing softer. It was deep brown honey to his blue eyes, warm and chilling down his back. Luke shook his head no. Andrea had left for work earlier. The movement made Ashton place his other hand by Luke's waist. Luke shiver by the touch and brought his hip closer.

"I'm going to kiss you. Is that okay?" Ashton politely asked as Luke's hand wrapped around the soft curls in the back of Ashton's head. Luke nodded parting his lips and taking the last step in.

"You're a wonderful guy Luke. I like you. I'm not just kissing you to kiss you. Okay? I just want you to feel comfortable and - " Ashton never got to finish his thought as Luke's lips crashed into his.

The kiss was soft and gentle testing out the atmosphere for Luke's sake. Luke bend his head to the side so their noses wouldn't be uncomfortable and Ashton did the same pulling his face closer by the hand in his cheek. Their lips moved softly against each other in a slow waltz fitting in between each other like puzzle pieces. Luke started to pull Ashton back towards the couch, grabbing by his shirt and guiding him with small steps backwards until the back of his knees hit the rim of the couch. But almost like intended clockwork, Ashton's phone began to vibrate and Luke felt it in his inner thigh as he pulled away quickly.

Ashton groaned as he took out his phone with one hand the other still arounds Luke's waist.

"What?" He answered roughy into the microphone without seeing who it was. It could have been the queen of England herself and he wouldn't have changed his tone at the moment.

"Woah buddy, chill. Where are you? We got a show today, please tell me you didn't go far for lunch." Calum said on the other side of the speaker.

"No, just a couple minutes." Ashton said clearly knowing it was thirty but if he took the carpool lane with Luke and speeded he might be able to do it in half the time.

"Well, get your butt back here we have to soundcheck soon." Calum told him.

"Okay. Okay. Bye." Ashton told him still angry at the interruption. He hung up and out in his pocket before looking back at Luke.

"That was nice. Very nice." Ashton told him still standing close enough to Luke to hear his beating heart. Luke nodded and put both his arms around Ashton to turn them around in order to grab his phone and notepad. He put his notepad in his back pocket and detangled himself from Ashton.

'We can continue that later. Let's head to the show.' Luke typed and showed Ashton, who nodded and took the others boys hand as they head out.

"Let's face reality."
