Opposites Attract (Lashton/Larry)

Chapter 9

Ugh guys it's been so long (it's been so long, you must be fireproof) I'm so sorry. I've been really busy with this really annoying thing called life but hopefully I can get back into regularly updating.

First off thanks for all the birthday messages it means a lot to me. Also it's pretty awesome being sixteen bc now I feel if someone asks me my age and I tell them they'll actually kind of start to take me seriously but maybe that's just me.

Also last weekend I wrote a Lashton one-shot and if you go to my page and find the story titled Lashton one shots it'll be in there. I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out and maybe left requests for other one-shots you'd like me to write, but I don't write smut sorry.

Also the first part of this chapter repeats some of the stuff from the last couple chapters but in Luke's POV so sorry if it's annoying but there is new content too I promise.

Again sorry for making Harry kind of a jerk but he's kind of like an overprotective dad to Luke. I imagine that's exactly how he'd be with his kids and Louis would be the fun dad who'd joke around with their kids' boyfriend or girlfriend but wouldn't hesitate to make their life hell if they ever did hurt his kids.

Now for the most important part can we talk about the Lashton recently. There was that one interview where Ashton had his hand gently placed on Luke's back and they tweeted each other. There was also that pic on gma where Ashton looked like he was walking past Luke but he put his hand really gently on his arm even though there was no reason to and they kept staring at each other in recent interviews. And of course I saved the best for last aka the interview where Luke basically made a novel describing Ashton but found it hard to describe Michael. And he actually called him 'good boyfriend material'. Like way to be subtle Luke and also fuck you for ruining my Friday.

But anyways onto the story.

Luke shoots upright in his bed and tries to calm his breathing. He just had another nightmare, which isn't surprising since he's been having at least three every night since he started school again but has't told Harry or Louis because he doesn't want them to worry. Besides, this is nothing compared to the amount of nightmares Luke had when he was still living on the streets and he had even awoken to find out those nightmares were true a couple times so Luke can handle this on his own.

Luke notices how dry his mouth is so he decides to get up and get some water. He tries to be as quiet as possible because he knows Harry and Louis are asleep and he doesn't  know if Ashton is or not but Luke  doesn't what to bother him even if he is awake.

When Luke gets to the living room he sees Ashton's phone screen light up so he knows Ashton is still awake, but he's talking to someone so Luke still tries to be quiet.

"Guys shh" Ashton says.

Well Luke guesses he  wasn't being very quiet then.

"Aww shh, is the way you decided to tell me to shut up? Were you worried about hurting my feelings" a slightly high pitched voice with an Australian accent says.

"Guys I'm serious, I think I hear someone" Ashton says.

"Maybe it's Harry coming to kill you in your sleep" a deeper Australian accent says.

"It's not Harry but I might kill you" Luke says sarcastically in his head but then realizes he said it out loud when Ashton says his name.

"Lukey" Ashton says and Luke is glad it's dark or else Ashton would be able to see him blush. He's still not used to Ashton calling him Lukey and Luke doesn't think he'll ever be.
