Calum's pov

I followed Luke into the kitchen, seeing that he was pouring himself another glass of wine "Luke" I said and walked up to him "be careful okay.. drinking to forget isn't the answer..I know you're hurting but you have us here and we are going to do what we can do help you" I added "I know I know..it's just a drink, I think we all deserve some drinks after tonight. Thank you, for what you said yknow" Luke replied and took a large sip of his wine, I took a sip as well but a much smaller one, wanting to take care of him if he ended up drinking too much "I'm sorry..I know I shouldn't have spoken to him like that, I know it's none of my business and all but..I couldn't stand to see someone as perfect as you be treated this way" I admitted, feeling my cheeks heat up from the blush appearing on my face "don't be sorry..I appricate it, I really do and- you..you think I'm perfect?" he asked and looked at me with awe "I think.." I sighed nervously before continuing "I think you are the most perfect guy I've ever met." I said slowly, hoping I wasn't being too much, a blush appeared on Luke's face "really?..that's.. that's so sweet" "I.." I said and sighed "I need to tell you something" I said as we started to walk back into the living room, seeing that Ashton and Michael must have gone in one of the bedrooms to have a chat.

We sat down on the sofa next to each other "I'm a liar, I want to be honest with you" I said and bit my lip nervously "oh? what's up?.." "I'm sorry I lied about going to see Tyler but I lied about something else..well in the truth or dare..I didn't ever go skinny dipping and I didn't ever kiss anyone.." I admitted, I was going to tell him that I was a virgin as well but pftt it would be weird and I'm pretty sure it's obvious at this point, I looked at Luke, thinking that he would be off or annoyed, but I was surprised to see that a fond smile had appeared on his face "oh Cal..why did you lie? none of us would have judged you" he replied and looked back at me "because I didn't want to get laughed at." I said and looked down, feeling embarrassed "I've never kissed anyone because nobody has ever liked me" I added "Cal" Luke said and put his hand on my knee, making me feel even more tingly inside "you wouldn't have been laughed at..I think it's sweet and I find it hard to believe that no one has liked you..you are just..such a lovely guy" he said, making me look back into his eyes "thanks I appreciate it, it's just..I'm a 19 year old man who's never been kissed, I'm just a loser and nobody has ever wanted to do such a thing with me and I don't blame them to be honest.." I said and let out a heavy sigh "you aren't a loser, none of that is true. The boys love being around you and I know especially I do too..I always want to be around you and recently I've always wanted to kiss you.." wait what? did I hear that right? Luke wanted to kiss me? me?? "m-me? really?" I asked full of shock, I would never think that he felt the same way about me "yeah..you" he said softly, his face leaning closer towards mine. I gently licked my lips and closed my eyes, this was it, this was the moment I've been dreaming for.

I felt his beautiful and soft lips on mine, they fitted perfectly together, I felt fireworks at our touch, I didn't want it to end. We kissed for a few seconds until Luke slowly pulled away, both of us opening our eyes and looking back into each others. Is this what loves feel like? because it feels incredible "Cal.." "mhm?.." Luke sighed, oh god did I kiss him weirdly? did he not like it? "I like you..I really like you a lot. But..I need time..I need time to think through all of this..and just figure it all out..is that..is that okay?" when he said it out loud his emotions for me, I felt like my heart had skipped heartbeats, but I also completely understood where he was coming from, he had just come out of a relationship moments ago. I stayed silent for a few seconds, making sure I didn't say the wrong thing "I know..I know Luke. I'm not gonna do this to you. It's not fair on you, I really want us to remain close though, even if we are just friends..that's all I want..you to stick around.." "of course I'll be sticking around, you can't get rid of me that easily" he said and chuckled gently, placing a kiss on my hand "I just need time..that's all.." he added "yeah..yeah I get what you mean..I'm sorry..I didn't mean- I didn't mean to.." I started to say, feeling myself get rather flustered "sorry? why are you sorry? you haven't done anything wrong love" my heart melted when he called me love "I just want you to be happy, that's all that matters to me" I said and gave him a smile, he smiled back "you make me happy" "you make me happy too.." we stared into each others eyes for a few seconds and decided to have a little cuddle on the sofa.

Ashton and Michael and walked back into the living room, Luke and I noticed that they were holding hands and we couldn't but smile at the sight of it, it was beautiful. They looked over to us and also smiled "you guys okay?" Michael asked "never better" I responded, my smile getting wider. We all had a beautiful night, a few drinks, dancing, smiling, laughter, the bond we all had with each other was unbreakable.
