บท 183: ... and in your Nightmares

(A/N: Predictions on the title?)

A poignant smile graced Caleb's face as soon as he heard those words. No matter how much Ashton pretended he was fine being alone or that he didn't need anyone else in his life, deep down, he did get lonely.

Caleb patted the young Ashton's head and ruffled his hands through his hair. "Thank you too, for choosing me back". Caleb mumbled. 

"Why won't I? You're amazing"! Ashton defended. 

Caleb chuckled, "I thought you didn't know me". He teased.

"I...I..." Ashton fumbled, taken aback by Caleb's words, "I just know it"! He huffed.

"You are amazing too. I miss you, a lot" Caleb mumbled. 

"Is this why you are here? Because you miss me?" Ashton asked. Caleb nodded at him and smiled. "I am sure wherever I am, I miss you too" he mumbled. 

"Ashton"! At that very moment Ashton's mother called for him. Ashton separated himself from Caleb and looked at him.
