"Lukey?" Ashton knocked at the bathroom door. "Luke you've been in there for so long, are you okay?"

No answers.

"Luke?" Ashton frowned, still knocking. "You hear me?"

"Yeah." 

"What are you doing in there?" Ashton asked, he was worried. "Is it pg?" He smirked.

It was silent, Ashton was nervous, he wanted to see if Luke was okay but he didn't want to invade his privacy. He sighed, resting his forehead against the wooden door. A few minutes passed maybe and then he heard a sniff. That's when Ashton's heart broke.

"Lu, are you okay?" He knocked again.

"I don't know." The blonde said quietly.

"Can I come in?" Ashton turned softly the door handle. 

"I guess." 

Ashton opened the door and his heart sank into his feet when he caught Luke sat under in the shower, arms wrapped around his knees, he wasn't wet but he was naked. 

Really naked. 

Ashton grabbed a fluffy bath towel and he walked to Luke, wrapping the blonde boy inside. Luke's cheeks blushed when he realized that he was naked and exposed in front of Ashton, but oh well, he wasn't in the mood to be ashamed anyway. 

Ashton sat behind Luke in the shower, he pulled Luke's body against him. He hated seeing him like this, it was really heart-breaking. 

"Eh." Ashton said rubbing his shoulder to keep him warm. "You're freezing." 

Ashton wrapped both of his arms around Luke's torso, keeping him all against him and warm. The blonde didn't say anything, he was lost in thoughts and sad. He sighed loudly whilst he rested his head against Ashton, relaxing a bit.

"Please don't tell me this is about what your father said last night..." Ashton kissed his temple. "You're perfect Lukey, don't let him mess with your mind." Luke sighed, letting his nose brush against Ashton's neck skin.

Ashton held Luke closer and his eyes roamed the room. It was a mess, there were clothes everywhere and a broken toothbrush was in the middle of the bathroom. 

"What happened to your toothbrush?" Ashton said softly rubbing his shoulders.

"I broke it." Luke shrugged.

Luke had another crisis, he was so ashamed and he wanted to keep it secret but he knew Ashton would ask what happened.

"Lukey you can tell me." The brunette whispered.

"The toothpaste... it fell from the toothbrush and I-I got angry." Luke tightened his arms around his knees. "So... I-I broke it, I'm sorry I-I'm so stupid."

"No, it's okay it happens sometimes." Ashton said.

"Yeah but... I'm so tired of all of this I wish it could stop because I wanna be normal you know? I wanna be fine." The blue-eyed boys closed his eyes. 

"You'll be fine Luke, you just have to be patient with yourself." Luke hummed. "Are you taking your pills?"

Luke stayed quiet, a blush coating his cheeks. 

"Luke?" 

"N-no..." He whispered.

"Why?" Ashton sighed. "You can't heal if you're not taking them, you know that Luke." 

"They make me weirder than I already am." He whined.

"Luke..." Ashton was upset because the blonde wasn't really trying to heal.

"I'm saying the truth." 

Ashton wriggled, trying to get out of the shower. 

"Just wait here... I'm gonna go get them."

Before Ashton could get on his feet, the younger blonde grabbed his sleeve between his cold fingers while making puppy eyes to Ashton.

"No, please." He begged.

"You have to take them Lu." Ashton said rubbing his cheek. "They'll make you feel better."

"Please, stay here." He whispered. "I'm cold."

Ashton gave up. he couldn't resist Luke's puppy eyes anyway. They sat under the shower for a long time, just being together while Luke was silent as always. He thought about his father, and about everything that happened to him lately, he thought it wasn't fair and he wished he could turn back time, and be a kid again.

"Eh, maybe Cal and Mike could come over?" Ashton proposed because Luke needed a distraction.

"Yeah... sounds fun." He shrugged.

"I'll call them." He said, kissing his temple and he walking out of the bathroom. 

One hour later Luke was sat on the couch with Michael, the grey-haired guy was making dad jokes and the young Hemmings was laughing his ass off. Luke felt okay, he was surrounded by his best friends and he was laughing. Right now he was happy. Ashton looked at him in awe from the other couch, sipping his beer with a smile on his face he was relieved that Luke had a good time. 

"Hey Ash!" Michael called. "How many tickles does it takes to make an octopus laugh?" He said already laughing. Ashton shrugged carelessly. "T-ten-tickles." He laughed slouching into the couch.

"That's so lame." Calum said throwing chips to Michael.

"Shut up you fucktard!" Michael threw the chips back. "At least Luke found it funny!" He turned to the blonde. "Right Lukey?" 

"Yeah that was a good one." The blue-eyed boy smiled truthfully. 

Michael smirked at Calum playfully and the four of them laughed. Luke smiled too, he looked at his three friends and he smiled, even if he was lonely sometimes they were always here for him and that made him feel safe.

He sighed, grabbed the empty bottles of beer and made his way to the kitchen, grabbing another set of beers for the guys and him. On his way back to the living-room he jolted when he saw Ashton in the entrance.

"I thought about something." He said, arms crossed on his chest, while he was leaning to the door.

"I'm afraid." Luke chuckled.

"Shut up." Ashton shoved him.

"Just tell me, let's see who's the craziest here." The blonde smirked.

"What if I take you to another date?" He asked looking at Luke deeply.

The blonde's lips tugged upside and his cheeks blushed softly, he could feel his face burning but hopefully, Ashton didn't notice. Well, he did but he knew Luke would be embarrassed about it so he just ignored it. Luke laid the beers on the counter and he walked to Ashton shyly, he was so happy to know that Ashton would actually like another date because Luke wanted more of Ashton, he needed more.

"Okay, but I've got one condition." He said, fiddling with the hem of his shirt.

"Whatever you want." Ashton said eyes locked in the ocean's ones.

"You won't wait for the end of the date t-to kiss me." He blushed.

Ashton smiled and he slid his hands to Luke's neck, caressing his soft curls. The brown haired boy rubbed his nose against the blonde's one and then he closed the gap between their lips. It was a gentle kiss, their lips were just brushing together and it made Luke weak in the knees. Everything was so warm, it was hard to breathe and Luke felt so good, it was like he was wrapped in a cloud. The young Hemmings' hands grabbed Ashton's shirt and he fisted the fabric harshly, pushing the older boy closer. 

"Deal." Ashton breathed close to Luke's plump lips.
