somebody to love / cashton

Nine

Calum groaned as he woke up.

He wasn't in the mood for anybody's shit. Then again that was him everyday.

His head hurt like a bitch

It was currently twelve in the afternoon

He looked over and Ashton was still sleeping

He didn't remember anything from last night but Ashton taking him to a party.

His breath reeked of alcohol he had to brush his teeth.

When he turned the water on his ears felt like they were bleeding.

He brushed his teeth through the pain and Ashton finally woke up

"You make so much noise cal."

"Shut up."

Calum looked up into the mirror and screamed but covered his mouth so nobody else could hear.

His whole neck was covered in hickeys

He stomped back into the room and pointed as his neck

Ashton smiled and went back to bed

"Get up."

"Only if you get the pills in the underwear drawer."

Calum walked over and threw the pills to Ashton which made a lot of noise and damaged both of their ears.

Ashton took two and gave two to Calum.

He grabbed some water from their nightstand and drank it

"What is this?"

"It'll help you with your hangover."

Calum has only got drunk once with Mali and that was pretty much it

Calum swallowed the pills and Ashton sat up sitting next to him

"Why is there hickeys on my neck?"

"I had to show everyone we were dating."

"Including my parents?"

"Jeez cal I'm sorry okay?"

"Wait what do you mean everyone?"

"It's on Snapchat.." Ashton answered lowly

"What?! Are you fucking serious? How dare you take advantage of me while I'm drunk."

"Calum I was a bit drunk too if-"

"So?"

"Calum."

"Ashton."

"Mali." Mali smiled entering

"Trouble in paradise?" She added to her intrusion

Calum rolled his eyes and left the room

"What's up with him?"

"The hickeys."

"Eh he'll get over it." Mali shrugged

"I guess."

"If you ever hurt my brother I will come for you." Mali said before leaving

-

Mali went downstairs with her makeup bag

Calum looked at her and raised his eyebrow

"What are you doing?"

"Hiding your hickeys." She said taking the makeup out

"And how exactly do you know how to do that?"

Mali smirked, "oh cal you're so cute."

Calum sighed

"What's wrong with you and Ashton?" Mali asked applying the makeup to Calum's neck and jawline

Calum shrugged

Once Mali finished she pulled Calum into a hug

"Cal I love you but if you come home with hickeys again I will kick both you and Ashton's asses."

Calum nodded and she went back upstairs.

He scrolled through his Instagram, messages, and Snapchat. The video was fucking everywhere.

It was supposedly started by Jake, Ashton's new 'best friend'.

"Hood."

Calum looked up and Ashton handed him his sneakers

"What?"

"Let's go." He grabbed the keys and Calum quickly put on his shoes and grabbed his phone

"Where are we going?" he asked as they got into the car.

"To find Jake the asshole who posted the video." He started the car and speeded off

Well this wasn't going to end well.

When the two arrived at Jake's house, Ashton practically knocked the door down.

Calum admired the fact that Ashton was trying to fix this, it was nice- what no. Ashton isn't nice. You don't like Ashton. Calum has to remind himself.

A groggy hungover Jake opens the door muttering "Could you be any louder? Oh! Ashton, hey man." he smiles weakly, while rubbing his temples.

Ashton pushes his way inside, dragging Calum with him. Jake laughs, "Already coming back for more huh? Should I throw another party tonight?"

"That's not why we're here." Ashton grumbles.

Jake just cocks his head to the side, and Ashton rolls his eyes. "Take down the video of me giving Calum hickeys and shit last night."

"No can do bro. People love it, why would you want me to take it down?"

"Because! We were all drunk and I didn't give you permission to post it!" Ashton hisses, going closer to Jake.

"Okay okay calm down. Even if I delete my version it's still everywhere. It's been reposted all over instagram, been sent in texts, other people took photos too. Everyone has seen it already." Jake explains, backing away from Ashton.

"Then get all those people to take it off instagram and delete the photos!"

"How do you expect me to do that?! That's like imposible!" Jake replies.

Ashton raises his fist and Jake flinches a little. "Find a way, or we're gonna have a problem."

"Alright man! Back off, I'll figure it out..."

"Good." Ashton glares, walking back towards Calum and grabbing his hand.

"Can I get you guys anything? A drink...condoms?" Jakes teases.

"Fuck off." Ashton says, leaving Jake's house and pulling Calum along with him.

When they got in the car, Calum just looked at Ashton. "What?" Ashton questions.

"Nothing..I just didn't expect you to do that. It was cool..thanks.." Calum mumbles, sitting back in the passenger seat.

"You were upset, and I'd do anything to keep you happy. Plus it was the right thing to do anyway." Ashton replies, not looking at him, just starting the car and driving off.

Ashton knew he shouldn't of said that about keeping Calum happy, but it slipped, and he hoped to god Calum didn't catch on to it.

But Calum did. And it made his heart flutter a little.

Rule number two wasn't as easy to follow than they thought.
