Blackout [lashton]

chapter 23

Luke couldn't breathe. it was terrifying, really, to not be able to breathe and have your vision blur in a shady underground subway station. he stumbled forward and grabbed Ashton's chair to steady himself.

"Luke? are you okay?" Ashton said, trying to shake free of his ties.

"he's fine." Tyler said almost angrily, pulling Luke upright and into another metal chair. he didn't tie Luke there, though, just let him almost faint.

when Luke snapped out of it, he immidiently started talking.

"Tyler, I don't care where Ashton goes! but please, please, don't hurt him." Luke begged, tears starting to fall.

Tyler rolled his eyes and cut open Ashton's ties with a pocket knife. "you two are so fucking boring, I swear to god."

Ashton ran over to Luke and wrapped his arms around the taller boy.

"Luke. luke, we'll be okay." Ashton whispered.

"no, no, shit, no, we won't. we're either going to be murdered or separated, which will kill me."

"fine!" Tyler suddenly yelled, "you two are pissing me the hell off! here, Luke, take this." Tyler threw Luke a small little gun that was colored bright pink. "you fuckers have 2 weeks to make your decision. I'm sick of you two being so lovey dovey and 'oh, ash, please save me!' 'of course, Lukey pookey, right after you stick your dick in my-"

Ashton got up and punched Tyler square in the face, then yanked Luke out of the chair.

"come on, babe, we're going."

and they went.

back at the dorm, Ashton was trying to distract luke with a movie, but it wasn't really helping.

in fact, Ashton was the distracting one. he was wearing a big purple sweater and skinny jeans. his hair was falling in his eyes and behind his glasses. his short little legs were swung over Luke's thighs and he was resting his head on Luke's chest, his arms curled up on his stomach. Luke stroked Ashton's protruding spine with long fingers through the thick sweater, stifling a smile as Ashton leaned into it.

Ashton was the first one to break the silence.

"so, Luke, what do you suggest we do?"

"I mean, I don't know. you're going to be in Chicago, and I'm going to be stuck working for Tyler forever."

"or-" Ashton started.

"or what?"

"I mean, you're smart, right?"

"yeah..."

"then maybe you can apply to northwestern? they have really good financial aid, like, free, and they'll reply within a few days. if not, then there's always university of Chicago."

"I can't afford rent or anything." Luke said.

"won't your mom-"

"she's still in the hospital, but I'll see."

"if not, I can always just pay for it."

"as much as I love you, Ashton, you're not my fucking sugar daddy or something."

"why not?" Ashton said, kissing the corner of Luke's lip.

"because you are a total bottom, and although you could be daddy material, that's not something I'm into."

"you're a turdsack."

"a loveable one."

and for a few minutes there, while Luke and Ashton made out, it seemed like everything was going to be quite alright. like the calm before the storm.

little did they know, they were in the eye of the hurricane.
