Michael's pov

As soon as I had woken up this morning, I immediately texted Ashton

"Hey, can we talk? X"

I nervously waited for his response, I didn't even know if he was even awake yet, I really hope he would be willing to talk to me

"Yeah sure x"

He replied back, relief washed over me

"Let me just get ready and I'll meet you in the living room in half an hour x"

"Sounds good x"

I quickly got ready and went into the kitchen, I made us coffee, I did it all fancy with foam and squirty cream, even chocolate sprinkles on top and sat down in the living room waiting for him, I was extremely nervous to say the least, I grew even more nervous when I heard footsteps walk into the room "morning.." Ashton said quietly and sat down next to me "I..I made you coffee" I said and passed him the coffee "oh..thanks.." well fuck, this was awkward, I took a deep breath "look..Ashton..I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for doing that last night, I guess I was just upset and..got really upset over the idea that I couldn't have what I wanted..and what I wanted was you.." I couldn't tell how Ashton felt after I had spoken, his eyes were mixed with various emotions "it's..it's okay" he said and sipped his coffee and sighed before continuing "I'm sorry for how I talked to you, I should have talked to you about it properly and not just shut you down like that.." he said while looking guilty "I.." I said and sighed "I really don't think I'm straight Ashton. Whilst on the date..I..I couldn't stop thinking about you.." I admitted "really?.." he said after staying silent for a few seconds "yeah..I mean..I understand if you don't want to carry on.. doing what we're doing but if we can at least go back to being best friends that's all I ask. I can't lose you.." "I do..I do want to carry on, you've made me feel things that I've only heard in movies..you..are too important Michael, I can't lose you either..it hurts too much" relief came over my body once I heard what he had said, I was really worried he'd shut me out and wouldn't even want to be friends but my heart was also filled with such warmth from his words "r-really? you..you like me? and not in like.. just..a sex way?" I asked, I remember he did tell me he had feelings for me whilst we had that chat in the café but something was stopping me from believing it fully but not anymore, I believed him 100% "really..I really like you Michael.." Ashton said shyly, I got off the sofa and crouched down in front of him, placing a soft kiss on lips, my heart was skipping beats when he kissed me back, I stood back up slowly, admiring his beauty "want to go get some breakfast? my treat" I said and smiled "hmm" Ashton said and stood up "nah, it's my treat" he said with his little cute cheeky smile that showed off his dimples, everything about him melted my heart with bliss "can I.." I said hesitantly but went with my heart and held his hand "do this? I don't want to hide who I am anymore.." I said, Ashton entwined our fingers together "whatever makes you comfortable Mike" it felt perfect holding his hand, our hands fitted together like they were never meant to be apart "but I want you to be comfortable too.." "you make me comfortable" Ashton said and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, I smiled and we went off to get breakfast together, it felt so good that I had cleared the air with Ashton, I still needed to somehow tell him about having sex with Chloe last night, I didn't want him to find out from anyone else, especially her.

We had a really adorable breakfast date, Ashton treated me like true gentleman and I loved every second I had spent with him, once we got back we hung out with Calum and Luke, it was a really great day, I hadn't felt this happy in days. Ashton went off a little while later because of his phone ringing, he hasn't come back in a while so I assume he's on the phone to family, I hope everything is okay. Oddly Luke, Calum and  I got a text at the same time, first thought I thought was the groupchat that the four of us had together, but it wasn't from there, why would it be? Ashton was on the phone and the three of us were in the same room, mine was an email notification from Tyler
