Luke's POV                               

Ashton and I arrived at his house, the walk here had been quiet but we seemed to keep glancing over at each other and smiling which ended up with me blushing. He hadn't given me any hints on what he wanted to talk about but I had planned on telling him about my feelings because I didn't want to hold it in any longer and I knew Calum would pester me until I did anyway.

He took me up to his room, just like the other day, and I sat down on his bed once again but with less hesitation this time. I felt calmer than I had yesterday and I was surprised by it because although I was nervous about the talking with Ashton, his presence no longer seemed to make me feel nervous.

Ashton sat down next to me on the bed and he nervously played with his hands. It's funny how he's nervous when I'm not yet it's the opposite when I'm nervous, I thought.

"So Ashton, what did you want to talk about?" I asked, just trying to get us talking because the silence was becoming a little awkward.

"Well, promise me you won't freak out?" He bit his lip.

"I promise."

"Ok, ok, just do it." Ashton seemed to mumble to himself with his eyes shut before taking a deep breath and still without looking at me say, "I like you."

Taking back slightly, I didn't know what to say and ended up sat there not saying anything which caused Ashton to turn to me with a panicked expression, "You told me you wouldn't freak out." He said, deflated. He then turned his head to face away from me again and looked down at the floor before whispering, "I knew someone as perfect as you wouldn't like me, I'm an idiot."

Snapping out of my shocked state, I was quick to correct Ashton, "Ashton, you're not an idiot. I'm sorry, I was just a little shocked but I...I like you too."

Ashton's head snapped in my direction as he looked disbelievingly at me, "You do?"

I nodded my head and Ashton's eyes widened and a smile made its way across his face before he squealed, "Oh my god, I never thought you'd like me!", and then wrapped his arms tightly around my neck. I laughed at him.

"Why didn't you think I'd like you?" I asked once Ashton pulled away from me.

"It's just, you're you and I'm me."

I shot him a confused look, "That doesn't explain anything."

"I mean you're like perfect and I'm just a loser with bad social skills."

"Ash, I'm not perfect ok? I'm far from it but you, you're wonderful."

Ashton beamed at me and I admit, he was cute when he smiled and it was nice seeing him so happy over something I'd done. I can't believe he liked me though, I don't think he knows how long I've liked him for.

However, his smile was quickly gone and he looked nervous again but before I could ask, he quietly asked, "Can I kiss you?"

When I nodded, the smile returned to his face as he leaned in and our lips connected. His lips felt soft against mine and the kiss felt comfortable, the feeling I had could be compared to giddiness as I felt like jumping and squealing that I was kissing my crush but I didn't want to ruin the moment.

He was the first to pull away but when he do, both of us adorned goofy smiles upon our faces. "That was amazing." Ashton breathed and I immediately blushed and tried to cover my face.

"Don't cover your face, it's cute when you blush." Ashton complimented me which only caused me to blush harder. "You're adorable." He cooed.

"Stop it." I whined, hands still covering my face.

"Ok, ok. I'm sorry but please take your hands away." Ashton practically begged.

Moving my hands slowly, I peaked over my fingers to see Ashton smiling at me and instead of waiting for me to move my hands completely; he did it himself but kept hold of my hands. "I really do like you Luke." Ashton confessed.

"I really like you too."  

"Do you know how long I've wanted to hear you say that?" Ashton smiled.

"If it's a long as I have then very long." I laughed.

"I still can't believe you like me." Ashton seriously couldn't seem to get over that fact and it was cute.

"I can't believe you used to watch me get changed for PE." I teased, just so it'd be Ashton who'd blush and not me.

"Oh my god, who told you?" Ashton did indeed blush and looked very embarrassed.

"Calum." I laughed at him.

"I didn't think I was obvious."

I laughed, "It's fine, I think it's kind of cute." Ashton blushed harder.

"Please can we stop talking about this, it's so embarrassing."

"I'm sorry." I said as I laughed again but this time Ashton laughed with me before he grabbed my hands once again. He smiled somewhat adoringly at me and I wanted to coo at how cute he looked but those thoughts stopped when he leaned in and kissed me once again.

The feeling on wanting to squeal returned but I hummed contently with the feel of Ashton's lips on mine.

A/N: I don't even know what this way and the ending is just...bleh. I'm sorry.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Thank you x
