chapter 7

Michael had been looking for luke for almost an hour now.

After going to get a drink for himself and Luke, he bumped into darla and they got talking. She noticed the way Michael looked at the blonde with such fondness and once she got him talking he couldn't stop. Even in the short amount of days they've known each other, Michael quickly became infatuated with every aspect of him.

The way he's always picking at his hair, though it's always perfect. The way he bites his lip when he's in deep thought and how his amazing blue eyes sparkle whenever Michael cracks a joke. After he was done gushing about his,little crush to the brunette, he went back to where luke was previously standing.. Except he wasn't there.

By now Michael has abandoned their drinks, lost a shoe, interrupted 4 couples making out and harassed 7 people asking if they've seen a tall lanky blonde awkward bloke. Nothing so far. Why did he wander off? Michael shoved his hands into the pockets of his old black jeans and leaned against an upstairs window, catching his breath. Then he heard quit sobs coming from a bedroom... Oh no.

************************

Luke was rocking back in forth in the corner like a mad man for god knows how long. His thoughts were racing and he hated it. So many bad, angry thoughts all at once. Hateful thoughts. Why didn't Michael love him?

He hears the door creak open. But Luke figured it would be another mean kid trying to beat him up again, so he kept counting. A few minutes he snapped out of his trance when he was being shaken by to firm hands on his forearms. He opened his eyes and saw a green tuft of hair come in to his fiend of vision. Luke quickly wiped away the tear trails on his cheekbones and sniffles a few times, trying to maintain his composure.

He looked up at Michael, feeling extremely vulnerable. He did not like that.

Michael sat down, back against the bed and pulled luke into his arms, rocking him back and forth like a baby. After a few minutes of Michael singing softly to luke, he relaxed into his arms. He shakily typed a message up into his phone and showed it to Michael.

*you're voice is beautiful* Michael smiled and gave luke a goofy look. Luke quickly typed again

*sorry if that's weird for me to say* luke started to nervously chew on his lip! hoping he didn't make things awkward.

Michael licked his lips and peered down at the boy in his lap.

"It's not weird, it's sweet." He smiled, making the younger boy blush and look down. They sat like that for a while, enjoying each others company. Then luke remembered what was previously bothering him.

why didn't you tell me you and darla were dating?

Luke typed and turned to Michael with an innocent expression. Michael was confused for a moment before laughing. Oh Luke's got it all wrong.

"Oh Lucas, you have much to learn!" Michael said, patting Luke's lower back, making him shiver.

"First of all. I'm not dating darla. Darla is a flaming lesbian and has been In a Steady relationship with violet for almost 3 years now. Even though I'm bisexual, I tend to lean more towards the male population"

Luke giggled, but quickly covered it up with a cough. Relief washed over him. He wasn't dating darla!! Then realization hit him.

you're bisexual?

He read it and then nodded at me like it was the most casual thing.

"Yeah sorry I never brought it up, I just didn't think it was relevant. You don't hate me do you?" Luke shook his head no. After all, why would he. Luke was 100% homo.
