Luke smiled when waking up in his bed with his pale arms wrapped around his beautifully golden tanned boyfriend who was still sleeping soundly.

Luke studied the locks at the back of Ashton's neck, smiling fondly when he blew light air on them and they moved beautifully with the wind.

He breathed in the natural smell of Ashton as he tugged him closer to his chest, enjoying every smell taste and touch Ashton gave him.

Luke leaned closer and left small light kisses on the back of Ashton's neck down to his shoulder. He moved the beautiful honey-locks away from the side of Ashton's face before continuing his trails of kisses up to Ashton's jaw and cheek.

Luke breathed out a low chuckle when hearing Ashton let out a small mumble and stretched his body out before fluttering his eyes open in slight confusion.

"Good morning, baby" Luke whispered and ran a hand up and down Ashton's naked waist while kept kissing his boyfriends cheek.

Ashton giggled and sighed out contently before turning around in Luke's hold and looked at the younger boy with gleaming hazel-green eyes. Luke breathed in a heavy breath at the pure beauty in front of him.

"Good morning" Ashton whispered back and smiled at Luke lovingly. The blonde leaned in and placed a light kiss on Ashton's lips before pulling away and stretched his body.

"I'll make some breakfast to you and the small ones before I go to work" Luke said and was just about to slip out of the bed but Ashton stopped him, hooking his muscular arms around Luke's waist and whined quietly.

"Don't leave just yet, the bed gets cold without you" he said and his breath was hot on Luke's skin as he spoke against Luke's chest.

Luke chuckled fondly before curling his arms around Ashton again. "Okay, I won't" he whispered before relaxing into the bed again.

"This is the only place and time I have alone with you. It's only a few minutes, so I always want to take good care of those minutes" Ashton said and tilted his head up to meet Luke's eyes.

Luke ran a hand comfortably through Ashton's long honey-curls and smiled when hearing Ashton hum in satisfaction.

"You're right, we never have time alone" Luke spoke and as he looked around in Ashton's bedroom. Luke felt at home here.

Ashton answered with a nod of his head as he let his fingers trace the pale skin on Luke's chest. Luke shivered at the beautiful touch, loving the way only the touch of Ashton's fingertips could spread warmth through Luke's whole body.

"I want to take you out" Luke spoke suddenly and Ashton furrowed his eyebrows as he looked up at Luke.

"What?" he asked in a soft voice.

"Take you out on a date I mean," Luke said and smiled down at his beautiful boyfriend, "We could get some alone time and we could finally go on our first real date"

Ashton smiled, his dimples showing, as he nodded his head and pushed himself up to kiss Luke on the lips.

"I'd like that," Ashton whispered against Luke's pink lips, "But we'd need a babysitter if that would ever work"

"We can fix that, someone is always up for helping" Luke said, positivity laced in his words as he leaned in to kiss Ashton again.

"Okay, then let's do it" Ashton said and smiled bashfully.

"Friday, I'll pick you up 7.30. Dress nice baby" Luke whispered and Ashton laughed.

"I'll probably get ready in your apartment anyway" he murmured and ran his warm hands up and down Luke's chest.

"Then I'll have to exit my apartment to knock on the door and pick you up" Luke said and smiled against Ashton's pretty and soft lips.

"So this is an actual real date?" Ashton asked, his hands going up to Luke's hair as he ran his fingers gently through the blond strands.

"It's real," Luke whispered and nodded his head gently, "And I'm gonna treat you good like the amazing boyfriend I really am"

"Okay," Ashton said and giggled lightly, "I would really like that"

The nearly unbearable heat in the kitchen made Luke have to run his chef-jacket-clothed arm aver his sweaty forehead, wiping it before placing the snapback back on his head again.

"My legs are tired" Tim whined as he shook his left leg and placed his weight on it when then shaking his right leg.

"How long have you been working?" Luke asked and huffed slightly when walking over to the air conditioner and turned it up in need of colder air.

"I took a double shift today, I really need the money" Tim sighed while putting in the correct amount of spices in the food he was cooking.

"Why are you in such need of money?" Luke asked and grabbed a clean spoon to dip it in the sauce and tasted it, humming at the successful outcome.

"Lost some bets" Tim mumbled and Luke raised his eyebrows at the 19 year old boy. Tim noticed and sighed again, "It's college, you bet on everything"

"What did you bet on?" Luke asked and leaned against the counter that was messily filled with different vegetables and spices.

"Sports" Tim mumbled out quickly before laying all his attention on the food in front of him.

Luke looked at him and chuckled before shaking his head. "Liar" he said as he poured a spoon of the delicious sauce on the bottom of a spotless plate before placing root crops and chicken over it, creating art to the eye and the taste buds.

"I don't want you to know what I bet on"

"Why?"

"Because it's embarrassing" Tim said and Luke laughed when seeing the younger boy blush in embarrassment.

"You're such a little pussy" Luke chuckled as he placed the plate of finished good on the shelf where the waiters could reach them.

"Don't talk like that, you have a son" a female voice said from the other side of the shelf as she gripped the plate of finished food.

"Well, he's not here now so I can be a rebellious teenager again" Luke said and grinned.

"But you're not a teenager. You're old, 'dad'" Lexi said and read the small note to see what table the plate was supposed to go to.

Luke rolled his eyes and laughed sarcastically before glaring at his friend. She smiled before turning around to walk out back to the restaurant.

"She's right, you're old" Tim said from beside Luke. The blonde turned his head and rolled his eyes at the younger one.

"You're two years younger than me, you lose your money on stupid bets in college and you got a dick drawn on your arm" Luke said and pointed at the dick drawn by a sharpie on Tim's upper arm.

"Lexi drew that" Tim said when running his thumb over it, frowning slightly when seeing the black lines not disappearing.

"God, you're both so immature" Luke grumbled and shook his head while Tim scolded him about being such a dad.

"I was just a waiter for a table of 11 people, and they only gave me $20 in tips? What is up with that?" Lexi said and angrily placed the used and empty plates by the dirty dishes.

None of the boys answered, they only kept glancing up at the angry girl pacing back and forth. Luke yawned and stretched his arms over his head when seeing more orders blowing in.

"I'm taking my break" Lexi mumbled and Luke lifted his head and looked at her before nodding.

"Me too, wait up" Luke said and wriggled himself out of the kitchen.

"What, no? You can't leave me alone now, there's like seven new orders!" Tim exclaimed with slight panic.

"May is on her break, I'll just change with her" Luke said and shrugged before walking off, ignoring Tim's pleadings and panicked words since he met May on her way back to the kitchen.

"He's starting to get on my nerves" Lexi mumbled and Luke chuckled at her grumpiness.

"What's up with you? Is it that time of the month?" Luke said jokingly but the glare Lexi gave him made him shut up right away.

"Don't ever" she said and narrowed her eyes at him before sitting down in one of the couches, an exhausted sigh escaping her lips.

"Sorry, I don't have many girls in my family" Luke chuckled lightly and poured himself and Lexi each a cup of strong coffee.

"Clearly, since you're even dating a guy" Lexi said and laid down on the couch, taking up the whole sitting space. Luke gave her one of the coffee cups and sat down on her shins since they took up his seat. Lexi whined but Luke acted like he didn't hear it.

"That's actually what I want to ask you about" Luke said and leaned back on the couch and took a gulp from his coffee, cursing quietly when burning his tongue on the hot beverage.

"You want to talk about Ashton? I'm listening" she said and immediately turned less grumpy, that excited gleam in her eyes sparkling and Luke almost rolled his eyes because he knew just what questions Lexi would ask.

"Not like that," Luke said and looked down at Lexi, "I wanted to ask you for a really important favor though"

Lexi looked at Luke with deep thoughts, pursing her lips before nodding, "Okay, I'm still listening. What is it?"

"Great, so I was wondering if you could babysit Leon-"

"No, not happening" Lexi said and shook her head while sitting up properly in the couch. Luke frowned.

"What, why? You love Leon" Luke said, his eyes big and pleading. He really wanted to take Ashton out on a date.

"Of course I do, he's awesome but a human and that's why I can't babysit him, I can't have that much responsibility"

"Why?"

"Because that's a living and breathing small human being, Luke! I can barely take care of myself, so how will I be able to take care of a 4 year old too?" Lexi asked, raising one eyebrow up in question.

"Actually it's two 4 year olds, Peach needs to be babysat too," Luke mumbled and Lexi opened her mouth to protest but Luke cute her off, "And you will do fine. You're 19 years old, if I could take car of a 2 year old full time at that age, you can take care of two toddlers for a few hours"

Lexi pulled the corners of her mouth before pursing her lip again and sighed, "What's the reason to me having to take care of you and lover boy's kids?"

"I want to take Ashton out on a date, and our parents aren't available and I just thought of you since you're sweet and nice and a very very good friend of mine-"

"You don't need to kiss my ass, I'll do it" Lexi grumbled and Luke grinned big as he patted her shoulder roughly, making Lexi grimace in pain. She shoved him off and Luke chuckled.

"Thank you, really. We've never had a real date and we are in the need of it" Luke spoke and a smile was etched on his face only by the mention of his boyfriend.

"Does that mean you haven't done the dirty yet, or are you two being the 'sex before dates' kind of guys?" Lexi asked and her eyes lit up with excitement and amusement again.

Luke just figured she was either extremely dirty-minded or just really enjoyed making Luke blush. Luke then understood that it was probably both.

"No, we haven't done 'the dirty' yet," Luke said and blushed very lightly at the lame choice of words for 'having sex', "We want to wait to see if this is actually real and stuff"

"Real? Well, I'm pretty sure it is since you have been together for over a month and you treat each other's kid's like your own" she said and smiled at Luke when seeing Him wearing a fond smile.

"Yeah" the blonde mumbled and picket at the loose thread in his pants.

"So, if I now do this favor for you and Ashton, you need to owe me a favor back" Lexi said smugly, a smirk was plastered on her face as she was leaned forward.

Luke sighed because he knew exactly where this was going, so he rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at his friend, silently telling her to speak up.

"You two better have sex, or do at least something more gay than kissing, if I'm gonna take time from my constant studying to care of your toddlers"

Luke blushed lightly and squirmed in his seat while Lexi was laughing at him. She totally enjoyed making the older boy flustered.

"I can't just promise you that-"

"No, you have to promise or else I won't babysit!" Lexi said and shook her head, the smirk still etched on her face.

Luke sighed exaggeratedly loud before looking at Lexi and nodding his head in defeat. "Fine, I will promise you to do something sexually gay the night of my date. But that means you'll have to keep the small ones over night"

Lexi only nodded, the growing smirk making Luke roll his eyes yet again.

"I'm totally up for it, I love kids, especially toddlers. I just played hard to get to make you promise me to sex it up with Ashton" she said and took a sip of her coffee carelessly.

"Why are you making up a master plan just to make me and Ashton have sex?" Luke asked and raised an eyebrow.

"Because dude, you need to get laid" Lexi said and looked at him sympathetically before leaning back on the couch, looking up at the ceiling.

"So what movies should I bring out for the toddlers? I only have scary ones, but they are really lame, so that will work, right?" Lexi asked, more to herself than Luke, and the father immediately regretted his choice of babysitter.
