Ashton squinted at the light all around him. It was definetly brighter up here. He closed his eyes.

Something tickled his nose and he sneezed. He blinked his eyes open and stared at Luke, who was hovering over him on the bed.

Ashton smiled at Luke's shocked expression."I missed you."

"I missed you too." Tears dripped onto Ashton's shirt. "You missed out on a lot."

Ashton sat up in the bed and Luke laid down beside him, holding the older boy close. "Wanna fill me in then?"

And so Luke told Ashton everything that had happened, before he fell asleep mid-sentence.

Ashton smiled down at him and pressed a fond kiss to Luke's forehead. "I love you baby. Thank you for fighting."

Michael and Calum came into the room and gasped at the sight of Ashton awake and reading a magazine.

"Ashton!" Calum shouted and Ashton shushed him.

"Lukey's asleep." He whispered, looking down at the sleeping boy beside him.

"Ashton!" Calum whispered as he ran up to hug him. "When did you wake up?" Ashton looked at the clock. "About an hour ago. Luke told me about the fighting."

"Yeah, managements pretty mad." Mikey said, taking a seat. "Can we get out of this hospital now? I hate it here."

"No but really, same." Calum groaned.

Mikey got up to ask if they were clear to go home, and Calum went to follow him but Ashton grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Hey, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry." He said, his eyes watering up.

Calum frowned. "What do you have to be sorry for?"

"For putting you and the boys through all this when I tried to kill myself. I promise I won't do it ever again. Thank you for saving me."

Calum sat down. "I didn't save you. I was too busy crying and feaking out. Luke was the one who saved you."

Calum stared down in horror at Ashton.

"Good luck putting me back together." Ashton whispered, raising the blade to his neck. His hand trembled, and he didn't have the energy to make the final cut.

His arm fell to the floor and the blade skittered across the floor, spraying drops of blood along the floor.

Calum dropped to his knees and shakily pulled out his cell phone. "Oh shit no, no no no no no, my God, please, no." He dialed Mikey's number.

"Get over here now, I think Ashton just killed himself. No, I will as soon as I hang up. Okay, bye."

He hung up and dialed 911 and wiped his eyes, straining to see through his tears. "Hello? I need an ambulance, my friend just cut himself and he's bleeding pretty badly."

He was giving the operator the address when the door was slammed open and Luke ran in.

"Move." He shoved Calum out of the way and grabbed a towel, pressing at towel Ashton's wrist. "How could you let him do this?!" He shouted, grabbing a new towel when the first one had soaked through.

"I didn't! He locked the door, I asked him if he was okay..." Calum cried as Mikey escorted him out. "It's okay Cal, no one blames you. Is the ambulance on their way?"

Luke angrily wiped his eyes and grabbed another towel. "Dammit Ashton! Why did you do this to us?! You know that if you go, I go too."

"The paramedics will be here in a few minutes." Michael said, holding Calum tightly as the boy cried into Mikey's chest.

"Why can't they be here now?" Luke cried, throwing the bloody towel to the floor. "Ashton doesn't have a few minutes!"

Calum cried harder and Michael had to lead him away.

Luke placed his hands over Ashton's wrists and held onto them tightly, staining his hands red. He leaned forward and pressed a desperate kiss to Ashton's lips. "Please Ash...please don't give up."

Blood leaked between Luke's fingers and he gripped harder. He glanced over at Ashton's blade.

He quickly looked behind him, Mikey had shut the door.

Luke looked back at the blade and slowly reached towards it with a shaking hand.

The door burst open and two paramedics ran in. Luke quickly grabbed onto Ashton's wrist again.

"Please stand aside sir." One said, and Luke slowly stood up, his hands still dripping red. "You're gunna save him right? He's gunna be okay, right?" He asked.

They lifted Ashton onto a stretcher and didn't answer.

"Luke saved me?" Ashton asked softly. Calum nodded. "Yeah, Mikey had to take me away because I was crying to hard to help, Luke stopped the bleeding with towels I believe."

"Oh." Ashton looked down at Luke.

Michael came into the room. "We can go home now fuckers!"

Ashton woke up Luke and with his boyfriends help, climbed out of bed.

"Wait," Luke said, pulling out his phone. He snapped a picture of him and Ashton hugging. #FuckModest

-

"Uh, sir? Fuck Modest is trending on Twitter currently." The intern said, showing a man and a woman a picture of Luke and Ashton hugging in the hospital.

The man sighed and leaned back in his chair. "These boys give me hell." (im pretty sure its impossible for me not to put a song refernce in a one shot)

The woman stared at the picture. "What are we going to do? It's not like we can keep their relationship under wraps now, everyone knows."

"Maybe you could just like, let them be together?" The intern said nervously.

"Maybe you can go pack your things, because you're fired." The man snapped and the intern gasped.

The woman rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up, no he's not."

The intern sighed in relief.

The man slammed his hands on the table. "Well someone needs to get fired for letting this happen!"

Another man came into the room. "How about you?"

"Me?" The man asked incrediously.

"Yes you. Her too. Your decisions led things from bad to worse. Plus I don't like you." The cheif said. "Get out of this mans office." He placed his hand on the interns shoulder.

"M-my office?" The intern stuttered.

"Yeah, why not? You could run this place better than them." He pointed to the man and woman, who were arguing with each other. "You've moved up. Now you're my assistant. Is that okay?"

Speechless, the intern nodded.

"Good. Let's go play with my new Nerf guns!"

The intern followed him while security escorted the man and woman out.

-

"We've got a great episode tonight, as Five Seconds of Summer, the full Five Seconds of Summer, is here!"

The crowd cheered as Ashton, Luke, Mikey and Calum took their seats in front of the studio crowd.

"So," The interviewer leaned forward. "Lashton huh?"

"I knew it!" Someone shouted in the crowd. (cough das me cough)

Ashton and Luke smiled and blushed. "Yeah." Luke wrapped his arms around Ashton. "Our love just couldn't be helped."

"Oooh myy Goood!" The same person cried, falling to the floor.

"Yeah, and we're glad our new management let us come out and finally be together." Ashton smiled.

Calum leaned forward. "I would just like to point out that I shipped Lashton before they came out so suck it bitches."

He leaned back as they crowd started screaming and the interviewer had to cut to commercial.

Through all the chaos and chanting of sex, Luke smiled down at Ashton and grabbed his hand. "I love you."

Ashton smiled and kissed Luke. "I love you too."
