« That was the cutest shit I ever saw. » Ben giggled.

« What? » Luke cleared his throat. « I-I don't... »

« Oh shut up Luke. » Ben smirked. « I saw you kissing the boy, you were all clingy and shit. » Ben teased his younger brother and Luke became as red as the car.

Damn, that wasn't supposed to happen. Luke grabbed his bottom lip between his teeth while his heart was about to leave his chest.

« I-I »

« Eh don't be so shy to me! » The older Hemmings nudged his brother. « Two Hemmings gay! » He laughed. « Don't you think that's kind of funny? » He giggled while starting the car.

« I'm not gay. » Luke stuttered blushing.

« Oh really ?» Ben asked keeping his eyes on the road. « Correct me if I'm wrong but Ashton's boy right? » He said teasing his younger brother.

Luke sighed, okay that was complicated but Luke wasn't gay. He never looked at a boy the way he was looking at Ashton, and he never felt that way in his entire life. He didn't know what he was, but maybe he doesn't need to label himself yeah? Not yet.

« Please just don't tell mom and dad ' kay? » The younger Hemmings asked. « I just want to keep this to myself. »

Ben nodded and he gave Luke and reassuring smile. The blonde closed his eyes and he rested his head on the seat. He missed Ashton already, living with someone for at least a month and then being separated was kind of hard.

«Lucas! » Liz ran to his boy when he entered the house. « Oh, my baby you're finally home. » She said squeezing Luke into his arms. The tall blonde giggled and he wrapped his arms around his mom, resting his head on her's. She was so tiny and Luke loved her more than anything in the world. « I missed you so much kitten. » She said pulling away from Luke's arms and caressing his cheek softly.

« I missed you too mum. » He said.

« Now I need all the details on your special someone who needed you to stay so badly. » She said with a small smirk.

« Oh c'mon I'm tired mum I-I »

« Liz leaves our son alone, would you? » Andy walked into the room and he opened his arms. «Come here, big boy. »

Luke huffed in relief and he hugged his father quickly before running to his old room. Nothing really changed, his old stuff was still there and it smelled the same. It was kind of reassuring to know that some things don't ever change. The boy smiled and he jumped on his bed, crossing his arms behind his head.

Suddenly his phone rang on his pocket and the blonde blushed when he saw the name.

« Hey, stranger. » He said and Ashton giggled.

« Was your mum happy to see you ?» The smaller boy asked.

« Yeah... » The blonde sighed. « But she asked about my special person who needed me to stay. »

« Oh, and what did you say? » Ashton answered.

« Hmm... Nothing my dad literally saved the situation. » He laughed.

Ashton giggled and then none of them talked, they just stayed here listening to each other's breath.

« I wish you were here. » Luke said. « My bed is cold without you to keep me warm. »

« Aww, Lukey I left like 4 hours ago. » Ashton giggled.

« I know... but still. » The blonde grumbled.

« Well my mom's not here tonight so I can text you when she leaves and you can come over? » Ashton smirked. « You know... so I can keep you warm. » He giggled whilst Luke's cheeks were getting darker.

« I'll wait for your text. » He said with a sultry but shy voice.

« Great. » He huffed. « Look I gotta go, love you. » He said quickly.

« 'Kay, I-I lo-» The phone biped, signalling the end of the call.

Luke huffed. Damn. Well, maybe it was the sign that he should tell him face to face, yeah Luke liked the sound of that.

// what do you think about Luke wanting to tell Ashton that he loves him?? //
