// I feel the urge to update because I need this story to staaaart so here you are //

A week had past and the boys were now in New York City. Nothing had changed since Asia, Ashton was still madly in love with the blonde and the blonde was still oblivious to everything. Thankfully, Nia was back in Australia so it wasn't as uncomfortable as much as it was before for Ashton.

Calum and Michael were doing their best to cheer Ashton up but it wasn't easy every day.

The wavy-haired one was laying on his bed, the hotel room was nice and he was kind of happy tonight because they had a great show.

« Ash, you're here? » Someone knocked at the door.

Ashton stiffened when he recognized Luke's voice. The brown-haired boy raised and he watched himself into the mirror, he fixed his hair quickly and he went to open the door.

« Hey. » Luke waved at him. « You're busy? »

« No. You wanna come in? » Ashton cleared the path and Luke nodded.

The smaller boy closed the door and he went to his bed, sitting near Luke.

« Ash I really wanted to ask you something. » Luke said and Ashton's heart started bouncing, what the hell was he gonna say.

«Y-Yeah? » He stuttered.

« I've noticed that you're kind of distant with me since a few months and I wanted to know why. » The boy frowned and he put his hands on Ashton's knee. « I know I've been busy with Nia a lot, but I don't understand because nothing changed with Mike and Cal but with you... it's different. »

Ashton gaped maybe two or three times. He had no clue of what to say and Luke was here looking at him with his hand on Ashton's knee. The blonde was cute as hell, his curls were bouncing around his face and he looked tired but he was still smiling.

« I don't know what you're talking about Luke. » Luke frowned more and Ashton gave in. « I just yeah we're not as close as we were back then but I guess that's life? » Ashton hated himself at the second those words left his lips.

Luke took his hands off Ashton's knee and he winced. He looked sad and disappointed and Ashton just wanted to hug him till he can't feel his arms.

« Yeah, I guess. » He stood. « Well... maybe I-I should go now. » Luke stuttered.

« No.» Ashton said maybe a little too quickly. « I mean you can stay and we can watch a movie or something? » He smiled awkwardky. « Please don't leave. »

« Okay. » Luke nodded shyly. « Yes, yes I'd like a movie. »

Ashton smiled and the two boys went to the bed, they layed down near each other and Ashton just started the tv not bothering to change the channel. He curved into a small ball and he tried to look at Luke discretely. The blonde was laughing at the stupid show, revealing his dimples and Ashton just smiled like a fool at the view.

Maybe ten minutes passed and Luke took Ashton's right arm wrapping the small boy's arm around his own waist. Ashton frozen first because what the hell; but then Luke nuzzled his head into Ashton's chest and he sighed in relief when the brown boy wrapped both of his arms around his waist. Ashton pulled him closer and dug his nose onto Luke's hair.

The hazel-eyed boy's heart was beating so fast and he was probably sure that Luke could feel it but fortunately, the taller boy didn't say anything, he just kissed Ashton's neck sending shivers to Ashton's entire body.

The wavy-haired boy smiled, blushing harshly and they fell asleep in each other arms.
