Luke and Ashton didn't talk in a week, even when they landed in Boston, nope they didn't even look at each other. Well, Ashton did, he's staring at the blonde as much as he can without getting caught. When they didn't had any band's stuff to do Luke was on his phone, always talking with Nia, he was spending hours texting or maybe sexting with her and ignoring his surroundings.

« Earth to Luke! » Calum yelled from the couch. « Did you hear anything I said? »

« No. » Luke cleared his throat. « Sorry, I was... »

« Yeah, I know. » Calum huffed. « I asked if you wanted to hang out ?»

« No, I'm just gonna stay here till soundcheck. » He smiled. « But thanks, Cal. »

Calum smiled back and he left. Luke slouched in his armchair, he hated the atmosphere in the band lately. Plus Luke couldn't get the small boy off his mind, he was constantly thinking about their kiss and how much he needed to kiss him again. Damn, he really shouldn't think about this, no, Luke is not gay, he loves Nia.

All of the sudden Ashton entered the room and he froze when he saw Luke. The small boy cleared his throat and he started to act as if the blonde wasn't here.

But Luke was tired of this.

« Ash, can we talk for a second? » He asked getting on up his feet.

Ashton shrugged, not bothering to look at Luke in the eyes. The blonde walked to Ashton and grabbed his arm who was holding a bottle of water. Ashton frowned, he layed the bottle on the table and he sighed.

« Don't know if I want to talk with you. » He said with rough tone.

« At least you can listen? » Luke smirked and Ashton shrugged. « I'm sorry, you know... for what I said the other day. » Luke scratched his stubble. « I didn't mean it. »

« But you said it anyway. » Ashton said looking at the floor who was way more interesting.

« Yeah... I know, I'm a jerk. » the blonde giggled.

Ashton tried to repress his smile but he failed. He was still looking at the floor, hands playing on the hem of his shirt.

« Please forgive me, Ash. » Luke winced.

The small boy didn't say anything, he just kept his gaze on the floor until Luke became rid of it. The blonde took Ashton's chin between his index and his thumb and he raised the boy's head softly, meeting his gaze and for God sake, Ashton was so in love with the boy, he couldn't stay mad at him.

« I think I can try to forgive you. » Ashton stuttered.

Luke smiled at him, the blonde still had his fingers on Ashton's chin and it was perturbating. Slowly Luke started to make little circles on Ashton's chin with his thumb whilst they were still lost in each other's eyes and Ashton's heart was beating faster.

The hazel-eyed boys licked his bottom lip softly and Luke's eyes followed the move intensely. He had indescribable eyes and before Ashton could realize anything, the blonde's lips were on his.

Luke pecked him, his fingers still holding to his chin. It was like the first time they kissed, quick and soft. Ashton's cheeks became pink-ish and Luke's left hand pressed Ashton's back, pulling him closer.

« What are you doing? » Ashton said almost breathless because he was surprised.

« Kiss me. » Luke blinked and Ashton's heart bounced in his chest. « Just kiss me, please. »

« You're not running away? » The small boy smirked shyly. « I don't want you to run away. » His cheeks were now red-ish. « Not this time. »

Luke smiled and he nodded, meaning he won't run away. He didn't know why he wanted Ashton to kiss him as much, but all he knew is that when the small boy pressed his lips on his owns, Luke felt that it was the right thing to do.

And he had no idea why.
