The Gay Code (cake au)

Calum

Was it bad to admit that I was happy Ashton thought were we an actual couple or is that just wrong. The only people who knew the truth had been swore to secrecy, I'm sure I saw one acting like a spy to see if we were going to keep to the dare. Not to mention that I've liked Luke since forever, before I had even realised that guys did it for me not girls and it was the whole reason I plucked up the courage to talk to him about it. I'll never forget the day we met. Dont get me wrong I can make friends easily enough but Luke was shy and I didnt think he'd talk back to me. Also those dorky glasses he used to wear left me thinking if he didn't have someone to defend his corner by middle school he'd be the punch bag.

Thinking about the fact we been friends since we were ten and thats when the crushed had started. Although it didn't occur to me then that it was a crush thing I just believed that I had found a friend who understood me. Kissing Michael at fourteen had confirmed my suspicion not to mention it had helped Michael who was questioning himself.

Even then it took like a year for Luke to actually become friends with Michael so maybe there was a slight possibility that Luke has been in fact jealous. I've had flings but each time I found myself comparing them to Luke. Bar last summer. I learnt a lot about myself then.

The school knows I'm gay yet girl's still flirt with me, and pray that maybe i'll be Bi like Michael. What still annoys me is the fact I've kissed Michael, manipulatively he's good at pressing my buttons, more than Luke but with this dare it might even out. After all the rule is act like a couple so its not like Luke can stop me in front of completely in front of school.

Once the bell had rung I had made my way to English alone, since I share zero lessons except for home room with Luke and four with Michael. I can at least rant to him during it. I didnt even know why I was taking English but to write songs which was a passion of mine I needed to be able to spell and have a good knowledge of words but the class came with essays every week or two which left zero time for any song writing.

Michael walked in and sat straight beside Ashton. Like seriously. Out of all people even I thought Mikey would sit next to me but no, so that means i'm sitting here in silence. Sitting here in silence had its benefits thought. After all I had four days to plan movie night on friday, something Luke and I have every month. It something we had done since we were ten and it had become a tradition.

Luke hated horror so I could always put one on so he'd curl up next to me and then that was nice even if hes the same height as me.  Being the big spoon in my personal opinon was better than the little one.  Then I could get some popcorn also and throw it at him just for a reaction.

'Mr Hood, I hope whatever is on your mind is more important than my English lesson or do you need a detention to remind you'.

The teachers words butted into my thoughts. I quickly muttered an apology and jotted down some notes.

*TIME SKIP BECAUSE SCHOOL IS BORING*

I had hold of Lukes hand as we walked down the street. 'You can let go if you want' Luke offered since the sun was boiling and hold hands meant there were getting sweaty.  'Nah, I'm good' I replied with a cheeky wink.  'You can do after all, we not in school any more so we don't have to pretend to be a couple anymore' Luke went loosing his grip on my hand.

I took what he was saying and let go of his hand, feeling sad but I couldn't let it show. If I pressured him it could backfire and I'd be left broken hearted. "See you tomorrow bro" Luke went turning up his drive. I hadn't even noticed we had got here after the feelings of sadness of letting go of his hand. "See ya" I smiled back as happily as I possibly could. Luke was right in the first place. This whole dare was stupid; it was tearing me apart and I could see my self loosing Luke.

I trudged on home and all the way to my room before throwing myself on the bed and let out a huge sigh. Its only day one and its killing me.
