Zombie apocalypse/Mashton//COMPLETED

Chapter 4

Michael's pov

Yesterday was a werid day, I couldn't stop thinking about how fucking stupid that 'doctor' was and what was fucking going on with Ashton's bloody foot. I looked over to see Ashton starting to wake up, I pecked him on the forehead "good morning" "morning Mikey" he mumbled. Like I said, even though yesterday was a werid day, it finished off rather lovely, me and Ashton had a cute night, and may or may not have had sex, I can't help it, I mean have you seen him? iresistible.

Ashton stood up and made his way over to our little kitchen and boiled the kettle "no let me!" I said and stood up "you need to rest your foot!" "my foot is fine" he said with a 😶 face, surprised by my random outburst I assume "is it though?" I said and jogged over to him, finishing off the coffee for us. We sat down back in bed with our coffee, both of us drinking it in a peaceful silence, you could even hear the birds outside. See, that's the one thing you do get used to in an apocalypse, waking up at sunrise, it becomes a habit.

A few minutes later Ashton's phone's went off,  he took a minute to read it and sent a short reply from the looks of it, probably one of the girls. "You wanna do something today? I was thinking we could go on a little date" I said and gave him a rather cute smile may I add. His facial expression turned into a guilty one "oH..well that would be really nice but erm, Bryana has already asked me to help her out with some paperwork" "oH right..no..no that's fine" I said, trying to hide my disappointment and stirred my coffee with the spoon "we could do something after?" he asked and pecked my lips "sure, why not" I said with a smile, I was pretty jealous that Bryana got to spend time with Ashton today and not me, they'd probably be busy for a while too. "Well you best get off, don't want to keep her waiting" I said and couldn't help but roll my eyes while Ashton slung his jacket and shoes on, okay maybe I was very jealous, I really wanted to spend time with him today. He gave a nod "I love you, have a good day" "I love you too.." I replied, watching him leave the flat.

I gave out a sigh, well now what? luckily for me my own phone went off not long Ashton left, it was Crystal.

Hey Mikey! wanna hang out for a bit? Bryana and Ashton seem like they are going to be busy for a while x

Yeah sure, guess it beats being on my own. What time do we need to leave to pick up T from school? x

3! meet me at the park, same spot as last time x

No worries, see you soon x

I started to get ready, granted these days it didn't take long, it's not like you could be debating on what clothes to wear or worrying about being in the shower too long.

Twenty minutes later I had made it to the park and saw Crystal at one of the benches, I jogged up to her who looked like she just wasn't with it "have you been drinking?" I asked and sat down beside her, she quickly regained  herself "oH hey Mikey! what? no, I was just daydreaming" I gave her a look as to say 'TF' but shrugged it off, she often was random like that, wasn't a bad thing though "oH right.." "so! how are you and Ash??" "oH we are great! he's got a meeting with Bry I hear" I said, feeling that jealousy go through my head again "glad to hear! yeah she was really stressing out about it, bless her" "really? how come? I think she's doing great" which is true, Bryana is always really organised "so do I! she's new to it so she's a little unsure. She really appreciates Ashton's opinion and input" she said cheerfully, maybe a little too cheerful.  "Yeah..I suppose she does. Does she..get on with Ashton well? I mean I feel like they do but sometimes they seem a bit..waitress facey? If you know what I mean" you know, that face the waitress will give when you ask for something on the menu and your mum will say it's too expensive '😶' like a milkshake for example "yeah! they get on pretty well but I know what you mean. I think they still feel a bit awkward about having sex, I know it was a few years ago but still! actually I recently found out that they- whoops you know what?? nevermind!!" Crystal covered her mouth for a second, clearly about to say something she wasn't intending to. What the hell was she going to say??

"Well Ashton is...gay?...I still have no idea what talked him into it if I'm honest. What do you mean? they recently what?" "Bry knows how to talk people into bed" Crystal said with a nervous chuckle "oH..um..I just found out recently that they actually had sex more than once. But don't say anything!! forget I said that!!" what. What the actual fuck?! am I hearing this right?? I started to see red. "The fuck? no not "let's pretend I didn't say that" Crystal. Because it sounded pretty clear you said they had sex more than once. Tell me what this is about. When the fuck was this?" Crystal gave out a stressed sigh yet remained calm, I don't understand how she could be calm about this. "Michael wait,no. It was years ago! it was when you guys were broken up!" "still! he's gay! I'm bisexual and I only fucked you once!" "Michael calm down! I know, I know. I don't know why they did it more than once, I didn't asked questions. I just..tried to forget about it.." "I bet it upset you too.. Jesus.."  I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to take all of this in. "I mean yes, but it was when things were rough and unknown. I trust her, I trust him. They won't do it again, surely you know that too right?" did I? I don't even know at this point, I don't know what to think, my heart felt so heavy. "I don't..think so..but..URGH just URGH!" I exclaimed, I couldn't even get my fucking words out.

She gave me a sympathetic look "well, whatever you do or think. Don't mention it to him because if Bryana finds out I told you she'll go mental" "I won't say anything but Jesus why the fuck did he keep this from me? he's fucking gay! Is he bi?! why didn't he tell me.." from rage to upset and confused in the matter of seconds, I don't know how to react, I don't know how to feel, why did he keep this from me?? "well..you can be explosive sometimes.." Crystal mumbled, well great, that really fucking makes me feel better, did he seriously not tell me because I have a short temper? "I don't..mean to.." "I know and it's okay! just..try and act normal around him?" "I will, I'll keep this between us okay?" which was utter bullshit, pft I'm so having a go at him later.  Seems like Crystal believed me though "great!  I knew I could trust you with this. Thanks Michael" she said with a relived smile, part of me did feel bad about lying but she knows me well enough by now, she must know that I'm not just going to keep quiet about this.

"It'll all be okay. I'm hurt but..it was a long time ago and if we didn't break up and shag each other we wouldn't have Tangy. That girl is the best thing that has ever happened to me" okay well joint best, Ashton is also the best thing that has happened to me but I'm too angry to admit that out loud right now. "Yeah exactly, a long time ago. It just came out because..maybe that's why they are..waitress facey together.. sometimes.. anyway! she really is! she's loving school too" Crystal added, clearly wanting to change the subject, I on the other hand wasn't ready to let go of it yet "they're both quite shy at times whereas you and me are more open"  I said and added on with a smile from the mention of our daughter "it's great she's enjoying school. So, how many times did they fuck to be precise?" "yeah exactly! she's really loving it!-oH..um..well..pft..you know..four?..five?" "Jesus, I thought it was gonna be twice? do you think Ashton is bi?" I asked, I mean surely not right? I've known him for so long and he has never ever payed attention to a girl like that before, my brain was starting to go into overload with all this.

Crystal gave a thoughtful look before she replied, "hmm..maybe, that would explain why so many times. But it's clear he's more attracted to guys" "I know but..after all we've been through..and he doesn't tell me something like this..why did Bryana take so long to tell you?" "I don't know.." Crystal said and gave a fed up shrug "I  really don't know Michael. Can we just change the subject now please? I don't want to talk about this anymore, it's in the past." Shit maybe I pushed it on her too much, I didn't mean to and instead we just talked about the bloody cat, but the conversation was forced and tense so not long after, I decided to head on home, I needed a fucking drink, how could Ashton not tell me something like this? Does he not trust me? I need answers and I need them now.
