Ashton had a day off on the next day. He was going to stay at home and maybe go for a walk with Ginger, he didn't have much to do.

Ashton got up and grabbed his phone, putting a random playlist on 8tracks on. The boy petted his dog and went to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast. He grabbed the box of cereal and the milk placing it on the table, sitting down on the table by the window. The day was kind of grey and cold but it was nice. His phone beeped and he saw it was a text from an unknown number. The curly haired boy was hesitant at first but opened it, it could be a prank anyway.

[From: Unknown Number]

hey! you didn't come to class is everything okay?

Ashton furrowed his eyebrows, confused. Who was this person?

[To: Unknown Number]

you might have the wrong number mate

[From: Unknown Number]

is this ashton?

[To: Unknown Number]

yeah

[From: Unknown Number]

then have the right number. it is Lucas aka Luke! remember me? the guy who waited with you in the bus thingy? the portuguese guy who could not find arthistic class when it was right in front of him?

Ashton almost screams and then remembers that Luke - the super hot foreign sex on legs tattoed baby blue eyed boy - gave him his number yesterday. He (for some reason) blushed at the thought of the pale boy and smiled widely. Ginger looked at him like she was wondering what he was smiling for. He quickly changed the name to Luke and put an emoji smiling next to it.

[To: Luke 😁]

oh hey! sorry, i didn't save your number. everything is okay i just had a day off, why are you worried?

[From: Luke 😁]

i barely know you but it's nice having you around, do you want to hang out today? you could show me your favourite places :-)

Ashton blushes and smiles widely. Should he say yes? He doesn't want to seem too clingy but if he says no it might seem wrong. Why is he acting like he has a crush on Luke? Is just an infatuation it will go away quickly. It kinda seemed like the other boy was flirting with him but maybe he was just being nice. Yeah, just that.

[To: Luke😁]

yeah sure! do you want to meet up at my house?

He waited twenty minutes and there was no answer. Maybe he went a bit too far, maybe Luke got uncomfortable and didn't want to hang out anymore. Everything was so weird and quiet it's making him anxious. But what if?

[From: Luke😁]

sure, just give me the adress and i will catch one bus. i got the calendar it is so confuse ;-;

Ashton laughed at Luke's english. He wasn't making fun of him because it was actually cute, it was more like a fond laugh.

He replied to the text and they spent hours talking until Luke's phone battery ran out. The boys were meeting up at three and just walk around to show Luke some places. Even if the foreign boy wasn't next to him he - somehow - felt his presence and enjoyed it a lot. It was warm and familiar, at the same time different and unknown.

***

Ashton was napping on the couch when he heard the bell ring. He looked at the clock and it was 3PM already, he had something planned but didn't remember what. He slowly got up from the couch yelling 'i'm coming' with a sleepy voice. The blankets were so warm and it felt so nice he didn't want to leave. He grabbed his doorknob and opened it, seeing Luke with a bright smile on the other side of the door. That's when it hit him: they were supposed to hang out.

He stared at the boy and noticed he wasn't wearing his eyebrow piercing. He was wearing a red and black flannel with a leather jacket and skinny jeans. He looked like an asshole that came out of the 80's but it was so hot Ashton swore he was melting. How can a person be sweet/caring and look like a Greek God at the same time?

''Hey,'' the other boy breathed out after a few seconds of staring ''were you taking a nap? It's fine if you do not want-''

''No, no I want to! I just fell asleep. Come in.'' he invited the tattooed boy who just nodded and came in.

Luke looked around and smiled when seeing Ginger on his feet, watching him ''And who is this little guy?''

''Girl.''

''Oh, sorry.'' he got down on his knees and petted the dog ''What her name?''

Ashton made a big effort not to cry because of the cuteness and answered ''Ginger.''

''Nice name. My dog back in Portugal was Portugeezer.'' Luke laughed (and he had a perfect laugh).

''That's a creative name.'' Ashton chuckles ''I have to get dressed, do you want to wait here or...?''

''Look, it's fine if we don't go out.'' Luke gets up and walks to the curly haired boy ''You seem tired and I don't want causing any troubles so I can just go back to my apartment and-''

''Stay!'' Ashton grabs his arms, stopping him from walking away. He blushes and tried to hide the fact that he wants Luke's company ''I-I mean, stay if you want? We could have a movie marathon, get to know each other and tomorrow is weekend so you could sleep over.''

Luke gives him a warm, shy smile and stands closer ''I would like that.''

Ashton nods and they went to his room to pick up some movies. Ashton notices his clothes are smelly and decides to change it, he doesn't mind Luke there but what if he doesn't like it?

''Hey um'' he stops ''I have to change my PJ, would it be fine in front of you or...?''

Luke shakes his head fast, with a weird expression on his face ''N-No it is total fine! Não me importo que - I mean, I don't mind if you do it.''

Ashton nodded and walked to the drawer. He took off his shirt and pants, standing there only wearing boxers.

''Do you want to wear something to sleep?'' the blue eyed boy jumped like he was scared and looked at Ashton still shirtless.

''Y-Yeah a shirt would be ni-nice. Hum.., where-where am I going to sleep?''

''My bed is big enough for us both, unless you want to sleep on the couch. Whatever you're comfortable with.''

''I-I will sleep with you.''

''Cool.''

''Cool.''

The boys got dressed and got on the couch with Ashton's computer and Ginger sleeping on top of Luke. Ashton connected the computer to the television and the first movie started.

And if somehow they ended up falling asleep with their fingers intertwined and cuddling, it was just fine.

acidentally saying something in portuguese instead of english when I am recording audios to my friend happens a lot bc if i want to say 'and' i end up saying 'e' (you can say it like you say 'he')

it's frustrating

any thoughts on the texting? Luke 'flirting' with Ashton and wanting to spend time with him? Ashton inviting him to spend the night?

i hope this chapter was good enough

vote and comment that would make me happy
