LAST CHAPTER T-T have a good read xx

___________

''The next years were amazing for the couple. Their life at the castle was amazing and everyone was happy. Eventually the day of their wedding came and both of them were nervous, but it all went away when they looked at each other at the altar. On that moment, they realised their love was so strong no one could break it, they were soulmates.

"At the party everyone was dancing happily. Mrs.Wilson, Calum, Michael, Ben... everyone was there. Michael eventually admited his feelings for Calum and they started dating. McKenzie apologized for being on Madison's side and they understood, some people do get mad when they're in love. Unfortunately, her feelings for Jade weren't corresponded but she got over it. Madison went to the asylum and never came back.

"A few years later Luke and Ashton adopted two children: Maya and Brian. They lived happily ever after."

Luke let out a breath and closed the yellow and brown book. It was quite a ride while reading that actually, it's his favourite tale. He looked at the children who seemed tired, other excited and the other curious. There was a couple of thirteen year old twins in the group, even though the activity was for kids from 4 to 10 years old Adam and Bree could be an exception. Ashton, his boyfriend, winked at him from the back of the room and Luke smiled timidly at the tattooed boy.

He has been doing this for a while. On Saturdays he goes to the local library to read tales to children, but Luke turned them into LGBT+ story since the activity was based in that - introducing the LGBT+ community to children. He thought it was a good idea, it would help the kids understand that a boy dating a boy or a girl dating a girl was just fine. Ashton usually brought his little cousin who was seven years old so he could accept his cousin dating a boy when he realises what really is going on (even though they have been dating for five years a half).

A little girl named Ariella - who was five years old - put her hand up to talk and Luke nodded at her. She had two dads who were glad to find the thing at the library.

''Did Mikey and Cal got married too?'' she asked, putting her head down in shame.

''They did Ari, their little girl had your name.'' Luke said, looking at her and smiling when seeing her face lit up.

''Really?''

Luke nodded and hummed. Other kids made some questions like if they had a dog or some other pet (it was kinda weird, they all had some obsession with chicken). The children got up excitedly after Luke told them there were snacks for them on the auditorium and left the room, leaving Luke and Ashton alone. Luke got up and went to put the book on the shelf, looking at the one he would read on the next sessions. Arms wrapped around his waist and Ashton's cold lips left sweet kisses on his neck. Luke giggled and turned around, wrapping his arms around Ashton's neck.

''Hi.''

''Hello baby.'' Ashton said, leaning in to kiss Luke. Ashton's lip ring was cold against Luke's lips but he enjoyed it a lot. The tattooed boy stopped the kiss and pecked Luke's nose, resting his head against Luke's ''I'm sorry Phil isn't here today, he's in a birthday party but I promise he will be here next time.''

''It's fine. How was band practice?''

''It was awesome, we added dates to Italy today.''

''I can't believe it's your second tour already.''

''Yeah'' Ashton chuckled ''Enough talking about me, you went pretty well, I love coming here to watch you read. It's like you're reading to our kids.'' Ashton said, biting his lip to avoid smiling big and looking at Luke's ocean blue eyes.

''Our kids uh?'' Luke said ''I would like that, a lot.''

''Me too.'' Ashton said and kissed him deeply.

They were interrupted by a cough, Luke pulled away and saw it was a mother from one of the kids. She had a stern look on her face and Luke gave a her a sweet smile to avoid tension. Ashton laced his fingers with Luke's and they turned to the middle-aged woman.

''Hello mrs.Hevansdale, can I help you?''

''Uh, yeah. I would like to take Everly out of this activity.''

''Oh... may I ask why?'' Luke asked and the woman walked closer to the couple.

''I don't like the fact that you are teaching my daughter that it's okay to fall in love with someone who is rude and unkind. You're basically telling them that Stockholm Syndrome is okay! Belle enjoys it and I don't want my daughter to grow up thinkning that it's okay to be controlled by her partner.'' she yelled and Ashton let go of Luke's hand to wrap his arm around Luke's waist, like he was protecting him.

Ashton was pretty touchy but Luke enjoyed it, a lot.

''Miss, Beauty and the Beast is not based in Stockholm Syndrome. If you pay atention you realise Belle knew what she was getting herself into. She didn't let herself be controlled by the beast in most situations. About the beast - he spent his life being told he was a monster so eventually he started to act like one but when he found Belle he saw hope and made some effort to be a better person. That happened with my boyfriend, I saw hope in him and that motivated him to be a better person after spending years being told he was a monster. He is one of the most kind persons in this world.'' Luke said, making the woman shut up ''But if you really do want to take Everly out of the project then it's okay. I'm not her parent so I don't have to make that decision, I'll go get the papers.''

Luke walked to the door but smiled when he heard the mom telling him to wait. He turned around and saw Ashton taking pictures of Luke (something he did often, Luke wasn't going to say he didn't enjoy it).

''I-I'm not- it's been quite hard since her father left us.'' the woman said, her tone of voice getting weak ''I dont- I don't want Everly to think she can be controlled by someone like I let myself be. Beauty and the Beast gives that kind of vibe you know?''

Luke nodded and hugged the woman who avoided crying. She hugged back and Ashton stared at his boyfriend with a fond smile still wondering how he managed to get someone like Luke. Everly's mother left to pick up her daughter from the auditorium. Luke laced his fingers with Ashton and the other boy kissed his cheek multiple times.

''You were perfect, I'm so in love with you it hurts.''

''I'm in love with you too, you stupid marshmallow.''

They walked out of the room and went to the reception where Shelby - the receptionist - was waiting for them. Luke gave her the keys and wished her a nice week, since they wouldn't see each other until the next saturday. The couple got out of the building and Luke shivered because of the cold air. Ashton led them down to road where his car was.

''Do you want to go home or do you want to eat somewhere first?''

''We can go home, I feeling like falling asleep cuddling you.''

THE END.
