[To: Luke]

*image attached*

since you're the only one I know who cares, how does it look?

[From: Luke]

It looks like shit.

[To: Luke]

I thought you liked my hair?

[From: Luke]

I did, before I realized you're an asshole.

[To: Luke]

I'm not an asshole :(

[From: Luke]

Oh my mistake. Not like you treated me like shit or anything and then dated my best friend and tried to tell him I'm delusional and obsessed with you.

I was not obsessed. I admired you. I liked you a lot. And enjoyed watching your family's show. Not anymore.

Fuck. You.

[To: Luke]

I don't think that about you, okay? I'm sorry! I realized my mistake when it was too late. I was angry that you wouldn't accept Ashton and I, but in the end you got your way, it didn't work out.

I'm sorry...

[From: Luke]

If you say that to my face I might consider forgiving you.

[To: Luke]

I'll be there in 20.

Luke paced throughout the apartment. Ashton was sitting on the couch, he had been watching Luke in amusement for the past fifteen minutes. All he got from Luke's mumbling were the words 'Michael' 'I hate him' 'shut up Luke no you don't' '5 more minutes'.

Ashton assumed Michael was coming over and Luke didn't know what to do, or what to wear since he was still in his pajamas; which consisted of rainbow boxers and a old ragged t-shirt.

"Luke, stop pacing, it's stressing me out!"

Luke looked up at Ashton. He stopped pacing, feeling guilty. "Sorry."

"Now, tell me what's wrong." Ashton asked softly. They've been re-kindling their friendship since they talked for hours when Luke found out Ashton and Michael didn't work out. Luke wanted to rejoice, but Ashton is his best friend so he comforted him. They apologized countless times to one another for being stupid, then ordered more pizza and spent the rest of the night watching movies while cuddled up in Ashton's bed.

"I-I don't want to talk about it."

"C'mon Luke," Ashton patted the spot on the couch next to him, beckoning for him to sit. "Talk to me."

Luke glanced at the time on his phone, Michael would be here in five minutes, he still didn't have his mind straight. Luke wants to forgive Michael, but he can't just forget that he was a complete asshole to him.

Luke sat down next to Ashton not wanting the boy to get the wrong idea and think he was still mad at him. "It's nothing... Really." Luke ran his fingers through his hair.

"I'm not buying it Luke. Now tell me, what's up?"

"It's just-Michael. He's coming over any time now to apologize, y'know for being an ass to me." Luke fidgeted with his fingers.

"It'll be okay." Ashton tried to assure him. "I will be here just in another room. If you need me say my name."

"I know."

"Remember that Michael, he's really sweet. I know you know that, but he won't hurt you." Ashton reassured. "You've liked him for a couple years from what you have seen on TV, but all he knows about you is from what he's seen. Michael has most definitely paid attention to you. When I did go out and do things with him he always brought you up. Always. Keep that in mind." Ashton frowned a bit, but didn't let Luke notice. He didn't want to worry the boy anymore about his problems.

Luke looked at Ashton like he was crazy. Not quite sure he heard him correctly. Michael talked about him? Luke couldn't believe it. Hearing this made him even more nervous and fidgety for Michael's arrival.

Ashton smiled at his best friend, patting Luke's leg before leaving to hide out in his room during Michael's visit.

The sound of the doorbell made Luke jump. He looked down at himself, completely forgetting that he was only in an old t-shirt and his bright rainbow boxers.

Luke decided Michael can deal with seeing him like this. It's not like they'll in end making out on the couch. Luke laughed to himself before proceeding towards the door.

No turning back now. Luke braced himself. Opening the door to reveal a equally nervous Michael. Luke gave him a small smile before ushering Michael inside.
