Finally, amiright?

*Luke's P.O.V.*

~the next day~

Ashton and I were sitting on the couch in the dressing room, right before the concert. We were just on our phones, tweeting the fans and what not.

"Lukey?" Ashton asked, looking up at me.

"Yeah?"

Ashton smiled and crawled onto my lap, straddling my waist.

"Hi," he giggled, which caused me to smile.

"Hi," I responded and he grinned at me.

"You know," he started, poking my chest, "I haven't cut in four days." I gasped.

"Ashton, that's great."

"And I haven't really thought about it until today." He stared at his hands.

"You're not going to though...right?"

"I don't know, Lukey."

"Please don't, Ash." He looked up at me.

"I don't want to...but I feel like I need to. And I really want to stop, but I don't know how."

"I'll help. You can trust me with anything...you know that, right?" He nodded and wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Yup. I love you Lukey."

"I love you too."

I heard a giggle and saw Michael in the door way.

Ashton groaned.

"Go away," he whined and Michael smiled.

"You guys already said your 'I love you's and I missed it! Calum, we missed it!"

"We missed what?" I heard Calum yell.

"Their first 'I love you's!"

"What!?! We missed it!?" Calum ran in and looked over at Michael dramatically. "We missed it..."

"You guys are idiots," Ashton murmured and Michael sighed.

"Well I guess we'll just leave you two..." They both walked out slowly and Ashton lifted his head off of my shoulder. He looked up at me and I pecked his nose. His eyes widened in surprise and I laughed.

"Sorry, I had to."

He just giggled and pecked my lips.

"I love you, like...a lot," he whispered and I cupped his cheeks, bringing his lips to mine. He smiled and placed his hands on my waist, drawing himself closer to me.

"I love you too," I murmured against his lips and he smiled, pulling away slightly, our lips still lightly brushing each other. He connected our lips again and I trailed my hands down to his sides, gripping them lightly, tracing small figures with my thumbs through his shirt. He deepened the kiss and I grinned, running my tongue along his bottom lip. He opened his mouth and I slipped my tongue between his lips, kissing him hard.

I pulled away, brushing my lips against his collarbones, before trailing kisses up his jaw and to his ear. All I wanted to do was tell him I loved him until the words wore out.

"I-"

"Time to go - well shit, man, good make out sesh?" Calum said from the doorway and I sadly pulled away, looking at him over Ashton's shoulder.

"Thanks for interrupting."

"No problem. Uh...we're on soon. Like...five minutes soon. So hurry up and get ready. And Luke, get rid of your boner."
