. 8 .

Luke spends the first night at his new boyfriends house, falling asleep on the couch as they watched movies and waking up cuddled up to Calum in a queen sized bed in what he assumes is calums room after observing the decor. He smiles sleepily, feeling grateful everything worked out and that he's starting a new relationship with three seemingly wonderful people.

He glances at the brunette who's cuddled into his chest, legs intertwined with his and mouth slightly open due to the way his face is pressed to lukes chest. Luke thinks he looks absolutely adorable and pretty and sweet. He brings one of his hand- that was wrapped around the boy, up to brush some of calums hair out of his face and play with it a bit. He wonders what their usual sleeping arrangements are, if they usually all sleep separately or if they share a bed or take turns sharing beds with each other.

"Lukey?" He hears Calum mumble and looks back down at the boy who's eyes are fluttering awake as his hands come up to rub at them.

"Hi." Luke mumbles back with a smile and Calum looks up at him and smiles back before wrapping his arms around him and burying his face in the blondes neck. They lay in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying each others warmth and the soft light that comes in from the curtains, until the door slowly and softly opens and ashtons head peeks in and he smiles.

"Good morning, Michael's making breakfast if you're hungry." He says softly as he opens the door wider and steps in.

Calum groans sleepily into lukes chest and the blonde sits up and stretches, causing the brunette to fall away from him and into the sheets with another displeased groan, making Luke chuckle.

"Cmon babes, get up." Ashton chuckles, shaking Calum who whines and sits up, rubbing his eyes again and then yawning before finally getting out of bed, Luke scooching out behind him and both boys following Ashton downstairs where Michael's standing at the stove making bacon and pancakes.

Soon, they're all sitting around- the brunette now much more awake and lively, lukes really enjoying seeing the boys personality come out and with the boy being so happy and comfy-  eating breakfast and talking.

"That's fucked up." Luke laughs as Calum finishes telling them- well, mostly Luke, as the other two have heard just about all of Calums stories- a story from when he was in highschool.

Calums eyes widen and silence fills the room and Luke stops laughing and looks up with a frown, wondering what happened and noticing the dominants raised eyebrows and stern faces and recognizing his mistake.

"Shit, sorry- I mean- um... sorry." He stumbles awkwardly, looking down at his plate and wanting to facepalm.

The two dominants both nod in acceptance of the apology and move on quickly, prompting Calum to tell the blonde a similar story they remember the Maori telling about the same person.

Luke listens and nods along quietly, chuckling or responding simply when it's necessary. He feels a bit strange, he's not used to his behavior being monitored and controlled and this is the first time he's experienced it and realized that he'll have to get used to it. Of course he knew he'd be following rules in this type of relationship, but he hadn't realized how easy it would be to break them without a thought. He's so used to cursing, he imagines it'll be a hard habit to break.

Despite his embarrassment, he moves on shortly after breakfast, forgetting about the incident and being his happy loud self again when interacting with the others, which is what causes a similar mistake.

"Oh fuck off, you cocky bastard." He says frustratedly but good naturedly with a laugh to Michael when the older man gloats at absolutely slaying Luke in the video game they're playing.

"Watch your mouth, luke." Michael snaps immediately and luke bites his cheek, a blush covering his face.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm not used to it and I get comfortable and it just comes out-" he begins rambling and is cut off by Ashton.

"That's alright, we get it, babe." Ashton assures. "We're not either. We're forgetting your new to this, we're used to Calum already knowing all the rules and that's not fair to you." He says and Luke nods awkwardly.

"I-yeah, but I get that you can't just not do anything about it and let it go all the time just because I'm new or I'll never learn, right?" The blonde says shyly, unsure what's normal in this situation.

"Well, we smack Calum the first time and soap his mouth after that for cursing, or make him eat castor oil." Michael says and Calum and Luke both cringe. "But we can start out with something simpler to help you remember and escalate to that, sound fair?" Michael offers, looking between all of them.

"But that wouldn't be fair to cal... I mean, I don't mind those I guess, it'll certainly make me stop." Luke says and Calum shakes his head.

"I had a hard time breaking the habit too, i get it, I won't be offended. You're sweet though." He smiles and pecks lukes cheek.

"Okay... um, what did you have in mind?" He asks and the two dominants think for a minute.

"Well, I still think smacking could be an option..." Ashton says. "There anything you can think of you don't like doing but isn't horrible? You can be a part of this decision lu." He offers but Luke thinks and shrugs, nothing coming to mind. There are things his dislikes but nothing he can think of that's fitting to the situation.

"What about exercise?" Michael says and Luke frowns.

"What's that got to do with it? I mean, I don't really like working out I guess but I don't really see..."

"Cumulative punishment? Well count how many times you curse and at the end of the day you have to do five sit-ups or push-ups or sum' for every time." Michael explains and Luke purses his lips in thought.

"I mean, yeah, I guess that sounds reasonable?" He says.

"I think that sounds like a great idea." Ashton says and all four boys nod.

"It's settled then. May the odds be ever in your favor Lukey boy." Michael says and the three laughs.

"I don't think "odds" are applicable here Mikey." Calum says, Luke agreeing.

"Oh shut up smarty pants." Mike counters and calums rolls his eyes, taking the controller from Luke when it's offered to him.
