"Can you come with me?" Luke asked while he was zipping his jacket.
"I think it's better if you do this alone."
Luke reluctantly nodded.
Two days had passed since Luke's exams and today he was seeing his parents, to talk about everything. He was nervous about seeing his dad. He knew his mum would be so happy and she would probably cry and hug him too tightly but what about his dad?
"I can drop you if you want?" Ashton said.
"It's okay I'll drive." He sighed. "But thanks."
Ashton opened the door for Luke, the blonde sighed before leaving.
"Wait." Ashton grabbed his sleeve. "You're forgetting something."
"What?" Luke said fiddling with his car keys.
Ashton tugged Luke by the collar of his shirt and he crashed their lips together. Luke sighed, slouching against Ashton's mouth, but it pulled out before everything became hotter.
"Okay, you can go now." Ashton said pecking his nose.
"I can bring dinner if you want." Luke smiled. "What would you like to eat?"
"You." Ashton winked. The younger boy blushed and he giggled softly. "Take whatever you want, I'll be fine."
"'kay." Luke pecked Ashton's lips. "See you later."
The drive to his parents was quick and Luke found himself sat in his car for a long minute, thinking. He finally got the courage to leave his car and he slowly walked to the front door. He knocked three times, adjusting his jacket and then the door opened on his mother.
"Hi sweetheart." Liz said, opening his arms.
Luke snuggled into her mother's arms. It was always the same, soft and reassuring and Luke loved this. She kissed his cheeks and then they walked to the living room. Andy was there, sat on the couch he looked nervous, but Luke wasn't sure, his father always looked nervous anyway.
"Hi." Luke said, his hands into his pockets.
"Luke." Andy got up and he walked to his son. "Son, I'm so sorry I-I made a mistake and-"
"It's okay dad." Luke smiled shyly.
"No, it's not okay." He cleared his throat. "I've been hurting you, and I've been so stupid, I'm really sorry honey." He sighed. "I've said things that I shouldn't say and I want you to know that I don't think that you're a freak, you never were." He cleared his throat again. "I should have been more supportive and understanding, I failed at my father role and I apologize."
"Thank you." Luke said.
"I love you Luke, I should tell you that more often."
"I love you too dad."
Andy walked to Luke and they hugged quickly, Luke felt better, he felt relieved.
"I'll make it up to you, I promise."
"Stop it I'm gonna cry." Liz said and he wrapped her arms around the men.
The next hours they talked about Luke's disorder and about what Doctor Henderson said, Luke explained that he had new pills and that everything was fine about him - apart from his IED- and they both looked relieved.
Luke grabbed Tacos for dinner on his way home, he was really happy tonight and the talk with his father definitely made things better.
"Ash?" The curly blonde called out from the hallway.
