Imagine: Luke

You were spending New Year's with the guys. Their whole families were there, yours included. Everyone was talking. There were about 10 conversations going on. Michael, Ashton, Calum, and Luke were devouring the snacks. You were with them, but not completely. Your mind was wondering what the new year would bring. And Luke. Your mind always wondered about Luke. Would you finally have the guts to tell him how you feel? Will this finally be the beginning of something other than a friendship? You thought of this as you watched Luke gobble down some chips. He stopped for a moment and gave you smile. You returned it to him.

The butterflies in your stomach were creating an out-of-control tornado. You had been crushing on Luke for a while now. Who are you kidding? You are more than just crushing. Every time you so much as think of him, a huge smile covers your face.

You were sure he knew. He had to know. Every time he was near, you blushed, or got shy, or was extremely clumsy. It wouldn't take a fortune teller to figure it out. You liked Luke.

The minutes until the new year turned into seconds.

Finally it was time, and you asked yourself once again why you weren't being kissed. Everyone hugged each other and wished a happy new year. Ashton started walking your way.

"You're finally going to tell him right?"

"Tell who what?" You asked the question already knowing the answer.

"Luke, that you like him"

Ashton had been bothering you about it quite a bit since you confirmed that you liked Luke to him.

"But what if he doesn't feel the same way?"

"Either you tell him, or I will"

"You wouldn't"

He gave you a cocky smile.

"Watch me"

He had barely walked a few steps when you ran to him. "Wait! I'll do it." You started walking towards Luke. Your hands were shaking. When you arrived beside Luke, he turned around.

"Y/n, I'm so glad you're here right now, I have to tell you something."

He led you out of the room and into an empty hallway. He was standing in front of you.

"One of my resolutions is to do something courageous."

"And you want me to help you?"

"Yeah"

"So what is it?"

You looked up into his blue eyes.

"Well, there's this girl"

Of course there was a girl. How could you have been so stupid? How could a guy as perfect as him feel something for you? You looked down to hide the frown forming on your lips.

"She is the best person I have ever met. She is smart, beautiful, and kind. You want to know the best thing about her?"

You looked back up at him. His eyes were lit up, and his smile was big enough that you could tell that he really liked this girl.

"She cusses like a sailor when she needs to!"

You gave him the best smile you could offer.

"It sounds like she's perfect"

"You have no idea." Your heart broke a little more.

"So what is it I'm supposed to help you with?"

"I'm not sure she likes me back, and I want to tell her how I feel."

"She probably already loves you, Luke!"

"What do you mean?" You laughed at how clueless he was.

"You are the best person I've ever met. She'd be crazy to not like you! You're smart, talented, fun, and the hottest guy I've ever met."

"Do you really think so?"

He leaned closer as he asked the question. You couldn't even tell him you did. He was so close. Your lips were only a few inches away from his. His air became your air. And then your lips met his. You could feel your entire body responding to that one kiss. His lips were soft, warm. You wrapped your arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around your waist. When your lips seperared from his, you both looked at each other. He had already told you how he felt, now it was your turn.

"Ashton told me I had to tell the guy I've been into that I liked him."

You could tell this bothered him. His lips started making a little frown.

"So do I know this guy? I'm sorry for kissing you, it wasn't right. I didn't know you liked someone else."

You just looked into his eyes, and kissed him. This kiss was better in a way. You both now knew who the other liked. There were no secrets. It was sincere and free. You both looked at each other. He grabbed your hand and interlocked your fingers with his. You walked into the living room, and when you spotted Ash, you gave him the biggest smile possible.
