"Have you ever done anything and not told Ash, even though you should've?" Andy DeLuca smirked widely as he spoke, seeming fairly confident he would get a juicy answer. All of 5SOS and a group of other people who they tour with had decided to play a game of truth or dare. Just about everyone on tour and close to the boys knew that the four of them were in a relationship, but no one else knew the mechanics and their hierarchy. Except for Andy, who found out by accident.Years of no one knowing a thing and Andy found out in a few months. Annoying. All of them tensed at the way Andy had worded it, like he was trying to reveal their mechanics to everyone else.
"Why Ash specifically?" Mitchy questioned because of course, he questions everything.
"Well we'll find out if Luke has a good answer, won't we?" Andy smirked again. Luke gulped. His immediate thought when Andy asked him the question was that no, of course not. Michael maybe but never Ashton, not the top dom. Then as he was about to say there was nothing interesting he realised that well, maybe there is.There was that thing that he hadn't told anyone at all, with the exclusion of his brother Jack one time when he got very drunk. Jack was undoubtedly gonna give him shit for it, and tell Ben, as brothers do, but Luke was so distraught someone knew that Jack just zipped his lips. Not to mention Jack was lowkey traumatised by the concept of what Luke was doing -and he barely knew the half of it.
Luke has a few options here. He could lie, convincingly, saying there was nothing. Unlikely. He could take a shot, refusing to answer anything but if he takes a second shot it also bans anyone else from asking anymore questions. The game would move on, but everyone else would be suspicious and he'd hear about it from all his boyfriends later. His third option would be to lie convincingly enough so everyone else thinks there's nothing to talk about, but Ashton -as a matter of fact all his boyfriends- will see through it and he'll deal with those repercussions later. He decides the third option is his best bet.
"No. They all know everything." Luke shrugs, deciding that if he pulls this off he could go into acting professionally.
"Everything?" Andy presses on. The fucker.
"Everything." Luke gulps, trying to hide his nerves at being caught. If his boyfriends were skeptical before, they were, they were completely disbelieving now. Calum snorts a little, Michael suppresses a small laugh and Ashton just raises his eyebrows. None of them say anything for the sake of their relationship but it's so clear to all of them that Luke's lying.The game continues, Luke being terrified of just exactly how Ashton's going to react to this new knowledge -that there's something Luke should've told him about but hasn't. At one point Ashton discreetly messages his three boys telling them to be as sober as possible when they leave this game and that meant one thing only, a scene and/or important discussion. None of them were quite drunk when Ashton sent the message so by the time the game's all over a little after midnight, none of them are feeling the effects of the alcohol.
"Lukey," Ashton begins sweetly as the four step into their hotel room. Luke gulps. "Do Calum and Michael know what you haven't told me?" Luke shakes his head and sits on the bed, his body shaking with nerves. "Words princess."
"No Sir. No one was supposed to know, Jack knows only because I texted him whilst very drunk one time." Luke shouldn't be as scared as he is. It's not like he's killed or even harmed anyone, it's just that, well, he should've told them. The worst part is that he doesn't even really have a valid excuse for not telling them.
"Do you want to tell just me or me and Mike or all three of us?"
"All three?" Luke squeaks, a glaring high rising terminal in his voice. Ashton raises an eyebrow at the uncertainty in Luke's voice. "I think you all have a right to know." The youngest adds in a whisper, thoroughly worrying them all.Luke reaches for his laptop but Ashton cuts in.
"Is this helpful or are you stalling?"
"It's uh- kind of something I think I should show you." All three of Luke's boyfriends are beyond confused but the younger two of the three still haven't said anything. Luke opens up google chrome and takes a deep breath before going onto tumblr, he spins his laptop around to show them his profile page that's open.

Hierarchy [CALM]
FanfictionIn life, there were hierarchies. 5 Seconds of Summer were no different. Luke was in charge of Calum. Michael was in charge of Luke. Ashton was in charge of Michael. Calum might've fallen at the bottom of the hierarchy, but that didn't mean he didn't...
