Luke fumed as he waited for Varia to return from the school.

"What the fuck was that?" He nearly yelled as she walked back to his car.

She looked up at him innocently. "What do you mean Lukey? Hes gay and its disgusting. I was just saving you from catching his disease."

"I- you-" There was so much Luke wanted to shout at her, but he was too angry to speak. He simply opened his door and sat down in the drivers seat.

Varia went to the passengers side but Luke locked the doors before she could open it. She pouted at Luke and jiggled the handle. But Luke shook his head. "Walk home, bitch." He called, before peeling out of the lot.

It was nearly 80 degrees (Fahrenheit, i dont understand celsius...celseus...celcious...or however u spell it, at all XD) and Varia was wearing high heels again, so Luke took some satisfaction that he ruined her day like she ruined Ashton's.

When he arrived home, he texted Ashton.

Luke: hey, u ok?

Ashton: absolutely fucking stellar

Luke: u know when u say that, i know ur not ok

Ashton: goody for u

To avoid Luke, Ashton faked sickness and his mom let him stay home from school.

Some hours later, he was curled up on the couch, taking a nap while the TV droned on in the background.

A knock from the door woke him up, and he sat upright, wrapping the blanket around his shoulders like a cape.

He shuffled to the front door and opened it. "Ye- go away."

Luke pushed past him and came inside the living room. He looked hurt. "Did you really pretend to be sick so you wouldn't have to see me today?"

"I didn't pretend, I really am sick." Ashton retorted. "Sick of you. But it was in vain, since here you are anyways."

Luke crossed his arms. "We need to talk."

"I don't want to talk to you." Ashton snapped, drawing his blanket tighter around him. "Get out of my house."

"Cutie-"

"Don't." Ashton warned.

"...Pie..." Luke raised his eyebrows.

"Luke I swear to God!" Ashton shouted, dropping his blanket.

"Ir-" Ashton ran at Luke, but Luke stopped him before they made contact. He grabbed Ashton's arms and spun them around, slamming the smaller boy against the wall. He leaned in close and whispered in Ashton's ear. "...win."

Ashton seethed and kicked at Luke. "Don't call me that! Don't ever call me that! I hate that stupid nickname so much!"

"Cutie cute cute cutie Pie." Luke sang, smirking as Ashton tried to break free of his grip.

"Stop it!" Ashton cried. "You're worse than Varia!"

Luke stopped instantly and released Ashton. The smaller boy sank to the floor and cried into his hands.

Hesitantly, Luke sat beside him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I didn't know you hated that name so much."

Ashton sniffed and didn't reply.

"Is it something to do with your dad?' Luke asked.

Ashton sighed and slowly removed his hands from his face. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay, I swear I won't ever call you that again." Luke promised. "Because, believe it or not, I still want to make you smile someday."

"You can start by leaving my house." Ashton hissed.

"But-"

"LEAVE!" Ashton shouted, suddenly whipping around. He slapped Luke's cheek so hard, the blonde's head snapped to the side.

Ashton's hand was red and it stung, but he was too busy glaring at Luke to notice it...yet.

Luke was shocked. He had never been slapped before...not even when he Calum and Mikey were rough housing in the back yard. He slowly touched his stinging cheek with his fingertips. He gasped at the pain and yanked his hand back.

Ashton slowly calmed down and realized what he had done. "Oh my God, Luke, I'm so sor-"

"No, it's okay. Please don't apologize, I deserved that." Luke stood up quickly. "I shouldn't have come here uninvited, or hurt you or teased you. Is your hand okay?"

Stunned, Ashton slowly came to realize his hand was burning. He could only imagine how Luke's face was feeling. "Um...yeah. A bit."

A bruise was already forming on Luke's beautiful face, (what? Ashton recognized an attractive face when he saw one), and guilt flooded him.

"I can take care of it. Oh God, your face! What are your parent's gunna say?!" Ashton gasped and covered his mouth with his hands. "They'll hate me and send you away!"

"Hey, calm down." Luke looked into Ashton's fearful eyes and placed his hands on the brown haired boys shoulders. "I'll tell them a story, I won't mention today at all, okay? They'll never know." He smiled. "If anyone asks, I got this killer bruise at footie practice, when I scored all the goals and single footedly carried my team for the win!"

Ashton smiled back. "You're a conceited, self absorbed, immodest brat."

"And you're a fiesty, introverted, geeky nerd." Luke laughed. He leaned down and kissed Ashton's forehead. "But can we please talk tomorrow? About the whole nerd thing?"

Ashton sighed. "Sure." He rubbed the spot where Luke's lips touched him. "And if you kiss me one more time without my permission and I will unleash a Harry into your room while you sleep."

"Worth it." Luke winked and walked to the front door. He winced as he felt his cheek. "Damn, nice front hand."

Ashton bashfully looked at the ground. "I told you I'm not a princess."

"You could be princess badass." Luke teased. "See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." Ashton nodded.

Luke smiled and left, shutting the door behind him.

Ashton watched the door for a few moments, before his hand started burning again and he jumped to action, running to the bathroom to treat it.
