"Where have you been!?" Ashton said as Calum entered his appartement. Calum rolled his eyes and went into his kitchen. "Answer me!" Ashton said. "I've been out" Calum said as he opened the fridge. He took out the apple juice and poured himself a glass. "Why didn't you text me back i was worried!" Ashton said pointing to his phone. "Why are you acting like you're my dad?" Calum asked. "Besides how did you even get in here?" Calum asked confused. "That doesn't matter right now, all that matters is the fact that you cou-" Ashton started but Calum cut him off "i didn't reply cause you were 'busy' the whole day, you didn't make time for me any time of our holiday and now acting like you care where i've been" Calum said. Ashton wanted to throw another comment but closed his mouth when heard interesting news on the TV.

"Bassist Calum Hood was spotted in down town LA with a fan at an Italian restaurant, we're pretty sure he was taking her on a date"

Ashton looked at the TV and then turned around so he was facing Calum. Ashton had a moody expression on his face.

"Is that true Calum? Are you dating a fan?" Ashton asked. Calum shrugged his shoulders and looked down into his glass. "Answer me!" Ashton said as he pushed Calum onto the fridge. "Chill!" He responded and pushed Ashton back. "Tell me Calum" Ashton said in a stern voice, Calum didn't like it at all. "Yes! Yes i am! And she is amazing!" Calum then said on the brim of tears. "YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS CALUM!" Ashton yelled back and towered over Calum. Calum didn't like it when Ashton yelled at him like that. It made him feel insecure and only he could do that. "P-please d-don't yell at m-me" Calum said putting his hand on Ashton's chest and looking down. Ashton's eyes widened, what had he done? He looked down at the small boy and sighed. He then wrapped his strong arms around Calum and pulled him closer. Calum held onto Ashton his shirt thightly and let out a few sobs. "M'sorry cal...but I just want you to be safe" Ashton said and held his fingers trough Calum's hair.

"Ashton.." Calum said and breathed in heavily. His heart was pumping out of his chest.

"Yes?" He responded and rubbed his back.

"I love you.." Calum replied.

"I love you too bro" Ashton responded and kissed his forehead. Calum felt an ache in his heart for some reason. It hurted really really badly.

Maybe it was because Calum loved Ashton in ways he would never understand. Calum always thought he had it figured out when in reality he didn't know what he was doing. What was wrong and what was right?

"I say we go out to the cinema tonight, get back and just chill..." Ashton whispered. He wanted to make it right with Calum. Ashton felt Calum nod against his chest. "Good, now lets get ready"

•

"Which movie should we go see?" Ashton asked while looking at all the posters in the cinema.

"Lets go see a horror" Calum said as he stuffed his mouth with popcorn.

"A horror?" Ashton asked in disbelief. Calum smiled and nodded. "We both know my popcorn will be flying trough the cinema during a horror movie bud" Ashton said with sass. Calum chuckled "okay, well you choose then" he said and bit his lip.

"Uhmmm..I-..nah..but..mhh" Ashton walked by all the posters. "Equalizer?" Ashton asked and adjusted his glasses while turning to calum. He nodded and smiled softly. He thought Ashton looked really cute with his glasses on. He also was happy he chose for glasses instead of lenses. Stop it Calum! He shrugged it off.

"Cool! Lets go!" Ashton spoke happily as they made their way to the ticket booth.

Ashton took out his wallet but Calum stopped him. "No..this one is on me" Calum said and put down the money before recieving their tickets. "Enjoy the movie" the cashier said as she blew up her bubble gum. She clearly was tired and didn't wanna be here. Calum nodded and gave a little smile before they walked off.

"It starts in 25 minutes" Ashton said while checking the time on his phone. Calum sighed and sat down on this bean bag they had in the lounge. Ashton joimed him and plopped down beside Calum, making him fall off the bean bag.

"Oops, sorry buddy" Ashton said giggling and pulled Calum up. "It's alright" Calum said as he climbed up the bean bag again and layed down.  It was silent for a bit, they were both just staring at the lights.

"Aye Calum" Ashton said with a smirk on his face.

"Mhm?" Calum responded.

"What do you call a guy with a rubber toe?" Ashton said and already giggled.

"Hmm..i don't know Ash" Calum said.

"..Robertoe" Ashton said and they both looked at each other and Ashton started laughing hysterically. "You're so cheesy Ash" Calum said shaking his head and started laughing too.

"I bet you can't do better than this joke tho, Cal Pal" Ashton said poking Calum's side. Calum made a little twitch before almost falling of the bean bag again. Ashton luckily putted his arms around Calum so that he was wrapped in a cocoon of warmth. "Not again!" Ashton said and giggled. Calum wrapped his arms around Ashton's waist so that he could make sure he didn't fell again anytime soon. And so that he had an excuse to be close to Ashton...

"I do have a better joke" Calum said grinning. "Tell me" Ashton said looking down at Calum.

"How do you find Will Smith in the snow?" Calum asked Ashton. Ashton squeezed his eyes and smiled while he was thinking. "I really don't know" he said releasing a breath. "..follow the fresh prince" Calum said and smiled like he made the best joke ever. "Aye?" Calum said as he nugged Ashton's side. Ashton bit his lip before bursting out in laughter, so did Calum. "..omg" Ashton said shaking his head at the cheesey joke. "Mine is still better tho" Ashton said and smirk. "No way!" Calum said and poked Ashton's side. This time Ashton fell off the bean bag. "HAHAHAHAHHA" Calum couldn't stop laughing.

Ashton stood up with the popcorn bucket covering his head. "Oh-ow" Calum said holding back a laugh. Ashton snatched the bucket off and climbed on top off Calum. "Tickle time!!" Ashton yelled happily. "No no no please!" Calum said holding his hands in front of him to defend himself. Ashton was stronger and held them both above Calum's head before starting to tickle him. "HAHAHAHAH! ASHTON S-STOP!" Calum said. "Not untill you say I'm the funnier one" Ashton said and continued tickling Calum's sides. "NEVER!" Calum said and let out a squak. "Then imma continue" Ashton said and smirked. Calum's belky muscles were staring to hurt from all the laughing and he decided to give in. "OKAY OKAYY! YOU ARE!" Calum yelled out laughing. "I'm what?" Ashton asked. "YOU'RE THE FUNNIER ONE! YOU ARE!" Calum said. "Are you sureee?" Ashton asked. "YES! PLEASE MY BELLY IS ON FIRE!" Calum replied and Ashton stopped. "Good boy" Ashton said and patted Calum's head like he was a cat or something.

"Hey Ashhh.." Calum said and grinned.

"Yess" Ashton said, he knew Calum was about to gonna do something.

"It was all a lie, i'm still the funnier one!" Calum said quickly and ran off.

He ran so fast he got to the indoor kids playground. He went into the ball pit and climbed up the mini ladder.

"Calum Thomas Hood!" Ashton yelled as if he was the dad and Calum was the kid who had done something wrong.

Calum heard him yell and giggled before climbing into a tunnel.

Ashton groaned and climbed up the ladder too. In the meanwhile, Calum was climbing trough all different tunnels. Ashton entered the tunnel Calum recently entered and looked around. "Calum!" Ashton yelled.

Left or right?

Ashton decided to go left. He then heard a giggle in the right tunnel. "Shit" Ashton cursed and went back. He went trough the right tunnel. He almost got stuck in the tunnel since his shoulders were a lot broader than Calum's but got out anyways. He looked around and came to a rope bridge. He saw Calum by the slides waving at him. "Hey Ashy!" Calum said as he sat down on the slide. "Bye Ashy!" Calum said and giggled before pushing himself of the slide all the way down. Ashton groaned before walking over the rope bridge and trying his hardest not to get stuck in a hole. He then took the slide down and looked around for Calum.

He then came out from his hiding spot brwathing heavily. "Okay you win.." Calum said sighing and walking towards Ashton who was laughing. "Of course i do" Ashton said proudly. "You were scared i was gonna find ya, didn't you?" Ashton said. Calum rolled his eyes before mimicking Ashton words. "Just carry me please, my legs are tired" Calum said as he ran towards Ashton and let himself fly trough the air. Ashton's eyes widened but he caught Calum in time. "Damn, alright princess" Ashton said chuckling as he made it's way trough the ball pit. They got out trough the nets and wanted to go back to the lobby but they stopped when Ashton's phone dinged.

"One second" Ashton said as he adjusted his arm so that he held Calum with one arm. Calum widened his eyes at how strong Ashton really was. He still felt scared he was gonna drop him so he kept a hold of his neck. While Ashton was checking his texts, Calum was staring at Ashton's arms. His perfect muscles, hands and veins. Calum swallowed hard before realizing how bad this actualky was. He needed to stop thinking like this. Ashton sighed and putted his phone in his back pocket before holding Calum with two arms again.

"What's wrong?" Calum asked. Ashton shook his head "nothing" Ashton said and murmered something under his breath before setting down Calum on one of the cinema stools. "Are you sure buddy?" Calum asked. Ashton just nodded and sat down in the seat next to him. "If anything, then I'm right here" Calum said and smiled softly. "Yeah I know but, it's just that yo-" Ashton got cutt of by a girly voice entering the cinema. "Ashton, there you are!" It was Aria. Calum's smile dropped immidiately and Ashton saw this.

"Cal i wa-"

"No!" Calum said cutting Ashton off.

"You said that you wanted to spend time with me again and then you invite her over" Calum said.

"No Calum it's not what it looks like i di-"

"I don't wanna hear it Ashton, i'll just go see a movie on my own, i don't wanna be a thirdwheel anyways" Calum said and huffed as he walked to the stairs. "Calum! Why leaving so soon!?" Aria said while smirking. Calum ignored her and just walked by her down the stairs. "Calum wait!" Ashton said but he already left the room.

"Why did you come, you know i wanted to do something with Cal" Ashton said getting a little angry. Aria putted her hand on Ashton's shoulder. "Yeah but you'll see him next week at the studio again and that interview, remember?" Aria said and kissed his cheek. "Uhm-yeah..i guess so.." Ashton said. "Now sit! The movie is staring soon" Aria said and pushed Ashton down in his seat. Ashton still felt guilty but knew that he couldn't do anything now. Calum had already left to go to another film. He wanted to explain that he didn't invite Aria and she just showed up because he told her that he was at the movies, guess it was a little late for that...
