When Calum saw Ashton for the first time, he never expected that the curly haired boy would ruin his life, while making it better at the same time.

The hazel eyed boy caught Calum's attention at one of their meet and greets. The curly haired boy was so nice and didn't demand a picture while every other fan did. The smaller boy just kept on hugging the taller boy, telling Calum about a thousand times that he saved the smaller boy his life.

Of course, Calum had to follow the boy on Twitter. He found himself creeping on the curly haired boy every day when he could. Ashton ran a fan account dedicated to Calum's band, nightlife. Of course, the curly haired boy tweeted about Calum's fellow band members, Michael and Luke (which made Calum jealous but no one had to know that) but the curly lad mostly tweeted about Calum.

Calum got too intrigued by the younger boy that he had to talk to him again, so he did. He dm'ed Ashton with the request he wouldn't tell anyone, and Ashton didn't tell anyone. They talked and talked, and soon Calum found himself falling for the boy, which he quickly denied.

After a long few days of not talking to Ashton, seeing if his feelings would leave, he had to talk to the curly haired boy again. Of course, Ashton was pissed, but kind of understood how Calum felt. According to Ashton, the older bassist was just in denial about his sexuality.

But, two years later, Ashton was sick of it. Everytime they kissed, it had to be in private. They couldn't hold hands in public, and when asked in interviews, Ashton was 'just a friend' according to Calum. The tiny curly haired boy couldn't handle the hate he got from the fans, saying he should just back off and that Calum will never love 'a fag' like him.

Ashton growned before ploppig himself down on his bed, in his childhood house. Calum started his American tour just a week ago, which made Ashton sad and not able to do anything without thinking about the taller, handsome boy.

''Do you want some tea?'' Ashton heard his mom ask from downstairs, which made him smile just slightly. ''Yes, please.'' He replied before stuffing his face in his old pillow, breathing in harshly. He and Calum didn't say goodbye like they usually did, and Ashton felt guitly even though it was Calum's fault.

Ashton had watched how his two friends and his secret boyfriend were packing the tour bus with teir stuff, the suitcases filling the trunk slowly, case by case. ''I'm going to miss you guys.'' Ashton says before wiping away a small tear who slipped out of his right eye, making Michael coo.

''We'll mis you too,Ashy.'' The colourfull haired boy smiles at the tiny boy, pulling him in a tight hug. Soon enough, Ashton feels Luke's arms around him too, making him smile a little. But, he doesn't feel his boyfriends arm wap around his torso, which makes him look up to see his boyfriend standing of to the side, watching the trio with a frown on his face.

''Aren't you going to say goodbye to Ashy?'' Michael turns his head to look at Calum with a slight frown on his face, matching Calum's facial expression. ''Yeah, if you could let him go.'' Calum growls, making Luke and Michael giggle. ''Sure.'' They say at the same time, high-fiving each other and letting go of the tiny boy, before waving at him and entering the tour bus.

''Don't get so jealous, Cal.'' Ashton giggles, making Calum's frown deeper. ''They touch you so often, i can't handle it.'' Calum whispers, leaning closer to Ashton. Ashton shook his head a little, making Calum pull back, as Ashton chuckled. ''Should i become jealous too then?'' The curly haired boy said, making Calum groan. ''Don't start this now, baby. I'm leaving in five minutes..'' He had begged Ashton to not say anything, but Ashton couldn't hold it in any longer, the anger of two years of secrety coming out.

''Don't give me that! You always have some sort of excuse! I'm done with it Calum, i don't want to keep us a secret any longer. I don't want to watch you with other girls while clubbing, i don't want to follow update accounts anymore just to be able to know where you are or what you're doing. I'm so done with it, Calum. Maybe i'm even done with you!'' The tiny boy was sobbing by now, his eyes red and puffy, making Calum's heart break.

''I'm s-''

''Don't. I'm leaving.'' Ashton had turned around, his face stained from the tears, his shoulders shaking as he walked off. ''Calum, we're leaving!'' He heard the manager yell. Ashton silently hoped Calum would flip him off and run after the tiny boy, but he didn't. He heard the tour bus doors close, and the engine start.

This is it.

Thinking back on it, Ashton could slap himself. He watched some of the videos fans would post on twitter of their concerts, and Calum wasn't his usual energetic personality. Calum sang and played and smiled, but he didn't talk anymore. The fans noticed it after only two shows that something happened, but none of them thought about the fact that his 'friend' Ashton Irwin could have something to do with it. Ashton was so glad about that.

''Tea is done, ash!'' Ashton smiles as he slowly gets up, his feet hitting the hard wooden floor with a little thud, his shoes long forgotten in the corner of his room, his white socks not so white anymore from when he went into the garden earlier without shoes on.

''I'm coming!'' He says back, walking out of his room, down the stairs and into the kitchen and dinner area. ''I also got a text from Calum, he's on channel four now.'' His mom says as the curly haired boy enters the kitchen.

His mom is the only one who knows, not counting Michael and Luke,that he and Calum are in a relationship which isn't public. Of course, mommy Irwin is sad about the fact that her son is being held back by Calum, but if he's happy, she's happy.

''I really don't want to watch him right now.'' Ashton says, taking his hot tea from his mom with a sad smile. Momma Irwin sighs, pointing at her phone before saying, ''He told me you would say that, but he also said you had to watch the interview. Please do so, maybe he'll do something that will clear your mind a little.'' The glint in her eyes made Ashton melt and say okay.

His mom turned around and made her way to the television in the living room, turning it on and sitting down on the couch. Ashton sighs before sitting down as well, his mug full of tea resting in his hands as his mom turns on channel four. Ashton gasps as he sees Calum, Michael and Luke walk into the frame, sitting down on a vibrant red couch after they waved to the camera and bowed.

''I am Jenny Hiberson and welcome to Celeb Talk! Today we have with us, the famous band Nightlife!'' A few yelps are heard from behind the camera, which Ashton guesses is the audience filled with fangirls. ''Hello everyone!'' The three boys say, smiling at the woman in front of them.

''So, how are you guys feeling?'' The woman asks, flipping her ebony red hair over her shoulder, smiling at the boys. ''I'm fine actually, pretty pumped for this leg of the tour.'' Michael answers the question like a professional, smiling like a moron. ''Yeah, tour has been awesome.'' Luke buts in, licking his lips before closing his mouth once again, looking at Calum, awaiting his input.

The raven haired boy shoots up, making everyone laugh in the studio. Ashton giggles at his dumb boyfriend, before shutting his mouth again. ''So, you guys are heading to Europe after this, right?'' The three boys nod at the woman, making her grin.

''Which city are you the most excited for?'' She asks, folding her first paper in two and putting it on the glass table in front of the four. ''Probably Amsterdam or London, I love these cities.'' Luke says, looking at his two bandmates who agree. ''The crowd in Amsterdam is always super loud.'' Calum buts in, his voice a little higher than normal.

After at least twenty minutes of talking about their music, the long awaited question is asked, every fangirl probably on the edge of her seat right now. ''So, are you guys seeing anyone?'' Jenny asks, her eyes wide, the camera zooming in on the three boys who smile a little.

''I'm seeing lots of people, but romantically? Nah.'' Michael says, making everyone laugh a little. ''I'm not seeing anyone, just to clear the rumours up a little.'' The blonde of the trio says. Every single fangirl watching probably releasing their breath they didn't even know they were holding, happy Luke isn't dating that girl who claimed they were.

''And you, Calum?'' Ashton slowly sits a little forward, his tea cold and long forgotten about as he awaits the answer he knows will come.

''Actually, yes. I have been seeing someone for a long time now. I was a little bi.tch, too afraid to say I was.'' Ashton's eyes widen, the air kicked out of his lungs. He slowly turns his gaze to look at his mom, who's silently watching with her mouth wide open.

''Who is it? Is it the girl we saw on twitter a few months ago?'' Jenny asks, her hands shaking because, hey, they are the first show to get this information and that must feel special. ''No, I've been dating them for two years now, our anniversary is in two days actually.'' Calum says, a huge smile on his face.

''Them? I'm assuming it's a girl, right?'' Jenny asks, her eyebrows shooting up, looking at Calum with a figure full of disbelief. ''Actually, no. Ashton is a boy. I am dating Ashton Fletcher Irwin, and I'm proud to say that he is my boyfriend of two years, almost three.'' Calum says in one breath.

Ashton turns off the television, his tea mug falling to the ground as he leaps off the couch, running upstairs and grabbing his phone, dialling Calum.

The raven haired boy doesn't answer, of course he doesn't, he's still in that stupid interview. The small boy sits down on his bed, his head in his hands as he smiles like a complete idiot. ''He came out, he finally came out.''

The next day, Ashton flies with the earliest plane to see Calum, happy he can properly hold his hand in public without being scared to be seen.

''I love you.'' Calum says as they hug on the airport.

''I love you more.''
