-------------------------------

•month nine: part 4•

calum: hey

luke: hey, what's up?

calum: i was wondering if you wanted to come over? your little boyfriend can come as well :)

luke: ah sure

calum: okay cool. i was wanting you guys to meet ashton

luke: oh okay. are you two together or something...?

calum: no, just friends.

luke: okay. i'll be there around 3.

calum: okay, see you then!

Calum put him phone into his pocket and walked into the kitchen to greet Ashton and Harley. Ashton saw him and gave him a wide smile. "Hi Calum."

"Hi Ashton." Calum was a little confused. Why was Ashton so happy?

"So ah, guess what?"

Calum took a seat at the table next to Ashton before questioning. "What?"

"Harley called me daddy."

Calum couldn't help but smile at Ashton. It was really cute that he got excited over that he thought.

"And she kept pointing towards the hallway saying 'daddy?'. She was calling for you."

Now it was Ashton's turn to smile at Calum. They both sat there smiling at each other. Calum couldn't help but look at Ashton's dimples then look at his lips. Ashton knew what Calum was looking at and blushed softly. He turned away in embarrassment.

"So, I invited Luke and Michael over so they could meet you."

Ashton's smile dropped slightly "Oh really?"

Calum mentioned them lightly a few days ago. Ashton seemed a little angry according to Calum. Only Ashton knew that it was jealousy.

"Yeah, they'll be here around three."

"Okay."

The room went silent for a bit until Harley started crying for someone to pay attention to her. Calum got up and took her to the nursery. Ashton put his face in his hands with a sigh. Ashton wasn't a fan of meeting new people. He always found some way to embarrass himself or be awkward.

He was also jealous at the thought of Calum hanging out with them, even if they were together. Ashton wasn't looking forward to hanging out with them.

Soon enough, the clock hit three and there was a knock at the door. Calum raced towards the front door and opened it to see Luke and Michael. He smiled and invited them in. Ashton came down the hallway with Harley in his arms, completely forgetting that the boys were coming.

"Oh...h-hi." He mentally slapped himself but smiled.

Calum walked over to him with a smile taking Harley out if his hands.

"Luke, Michael. This is Ashton."

"Nice to meet you." Michael spoke with a smile. Ashton wasn't sure what to say so Calum spoke instead.

"So, what would you guys like to do?"

"Ah, do you guys have some video games?"

"Do we." Ashton brightened up and went into the living room. He started listing off the names of some games the boys had. Michael smiled and knew that him and the chirpy blond boy would get along.

"Which one's your favorite?" Michael asked.

"Tbh, I'd say Dark Souls."

Michael smiled wider. "Yep, we're gonna get along great."

Luke followed Michael into the living room while Ashton set up the gaming system. He grabbed two controllers and plugged them in, handing one to Michael.

Calum put Harley into her playpen in the living room and plopped himself down next to Ashton. Ashton wrapped his free arm around Calum who moved closer to his side. Luke raised an eyebrow at Michael, while Michael smirked back. They both were thinking the same thing. They both saw something that didn't seem like "just friends".

They saw skinny love.

"Fuck!" Michael yelled. A monster was attacking him.

"Michael! Language!" Ashton yelled back as he watched Michael play.

Calum pressed his face into Ashton's neck, leaving a few kisses there which caused Ashton to giggle.

"Calum."

"What?" Calum knew what he was doing and smiled at Ashton.

"That tickles."

"What? You mean this?"

Calum kissed Ashton in the same spot making Ashton giggle and squeal. Calum giggled at Ashton and kissed his cheek instead, moving closer to him. Ashton had his hand pressed against Calum's waist. He slowly moved his finger back and forth. Calum squirmed under Ashton's touch.

"Does that tickle?" Ashton giggled.

"Maybe,"

Ashton smiled and kissed Calum's head softly, going back to watching Michael play the video game.
