"My Step Brother Is Narcissistic" | Muke

Chapter 5

~Cait~

Ashton's having Kat over today, those two and Calum and Luke plan on having a sleepover like thing. They say it's not a sleepover because they're "too old" for that. I think that's stupid, they watch movies, eat junk food, gossip, dance on Ashton or Luke's bed, and all the works, it's a fucking sleepover. 

"Hey, Mikey?" I ask, walking into his room as I start to hear the movie playing in the front room. The TV out there is bigger, so they watch movies out there. He looks up at me in a form of acknowledgment. "Do you really think Calum likes Ashton?" I ask, remembering how Calum was looking at Ashton throughout dinner. Ashton was looking at him the same way. I feel bad for Luke. 

"Yes, I do, why?"

"Ashton looks at Calum the same way Calum looks at him," I mumble, feeling even worse. Michael frowns, probably only ever having paid enough attention to Calum so he could have something to use against the boy. 

"Really? I've never noticed that before," He mumbles, see. 

"You pay too much attention to Calum so that Luke will break up with him, so I wouldn't have expected you to notice. It's just, I feel bad for Luke. Ashton and Calum like each other, but he's dating Calum and Ashton's his brother," I say, not realizing my slip up.

"Stepbrother," Michael growls, glaring at me. I nod my head tiredly. "But, yeah, that would really suck," Michael says, really seeming to feel bad for Luke. Sure, he's not good about verbally expressing how he feels unless it has to do with his dick, but his tone of voice is a window to his emotions, not his cold green eyes. 

"I feel like I should talk to him about it, he won't take you seriously, and I know I said to stay out of his relationship, but this is different. I'm not doing it to get him to break up with Calum so I can date him, I'm doing it so that he doesn't get hurt any more than he needs to." I rush out. 

"Fine, do it, tomorrow after Calum leaves," Michael says, turning back to his phone, dismissing the conversation. 

...

"Luke, do you think I'm pretty?" I ask, to start up a conversation. He looks up at me and frowns. 

"Of course I do. Why do you ask?"

"There's this girl that I like, but she doesn't even acknowledge my existence," I sigh, sitting down on his bed next to him. He nods his head in understanding. 

"I get that, but if a girl isn't paying attention to you and doesn't realize how smart, beautiful, and just overall amazing you are, then she isn't worth your time," Luke says, I sigh again. 

"She used to pay attention to me, I used to think she liked me back, but I don't know what happened," I say, actually becoming invested in the conversation about myself. I mean, I really do like a girl and she really does ignore that I exist. 

"Can I maybe ask who she is?" Luke asks, I shrug. "Well, who is it?" He laughs when I don't answer. 

"Kat," I mumble, not looking at him. 

"Awwww! You like her? As in Ashton's best friend?" Luke gushes, making me blush. It's not that big of a deal. 

"No, I just know about 10 girls named Kat," I reply sarcastically. "Yes, it's Kat as in my brother's best friend," I say, rolling my eyes as my cheeks heat up more. 

"That's literally adorable. You should talk to her about it, she wouldn't judge you, who knows, she might even like you back," He says, that's unrealistic. 

"Did you not hear me? She barely acknowledges my existence," I say, rolling my eyes at him. He chuckles, shaking his head. 

"She does acknowledge your existence, just not in that way," Luke says, not making me feel any better. I give him a halfway frown, not really feeling all that upset. I mean, I have 2 years before she moves away forever to get a chance with her. 

"So, why don't we talk about your boy toy?" I ask, Luke chuckles, rolling his eyes. 

"My boy toy? You mean the boy I've been dating for 2 years?" He asks I nod my head, my stomach twisting up. I don't want to talk to him about this now, I wanna chicken out because I don't want him to be upset with me, but I told Mikey I'd do it. "Okay, what about him?"

"Uh, I wanna tell you something, and I don't want you to get mad or upset with me. And no, Mikey didn't tell me to talk to you about it, I just was observing yesterday, because I remembered what Mikey had said about Cal and stuff," I start, he looks like he's going to break down. 

"Go on, it's okay, I know what you're gonna say," Luke says, his eyes welling up with tears. 

"I think Calum and Ashton like each other," I say, he looks over at me shocked. 

"I knew Calum liked him, but Ashton likes Calum, too?" He asks, breaking my heart. He really didn't realize that Ashton likes his boyfriend. 

"Yeah, I think he does. I haven't talked to him about it, but yeah," I say, my eyes filling with tears as tears fall down his cheeks. I wrap him in my arms, holding him tightly as he cries into my shoulder. 

"I just don't get why he's stayed with me so long if he's liked Ashton the whole time," Luke cries, heartbreaking sobs shaking his body. I take a deep breath, knowing he needs to hear this.

"If he loved you he wouldn't have been liking Ashton like that the whole time, I think you need to talk to them about it," I say, he looks up at me from his place resting on my shoulder. His eyes are red and blotchy, but he's still pretty, Luke's always pretty. 

"I will, but you have to talk to Kat," He says, shocking me. How could he be thinking about that while his heart is being broken? Why does he care in the first place? 

"Fine, I will, but you have to talk to them, first," I say, not meaning it. I refuse to talk to her about that, she probably already doesn't like me, I'm just her best friend's little sister, she'll think I'm weird if she knows I like her! I'm not doing it. 

"Okay," He says, smiling at me sadly. I return the small, sad smile. "Please don't tell Mikey about this, when he finds out I'm about to be single he'll have no reason to not try to get me to give him a blowjob or something," Luke says, chuckling a little bit. 

Luke thinks Michael only likes him sexually, but that's not true. Michael's liked Luke for a while now, he won't admit it, but he looks at Luke the way I look at Kat.
