Hour Three

Luke refused to admit he was growing feelings for the red haired boy as he followed him to their next location. He just continued to tell himself that he hated the boy less, but would never fall in love with him.

However, as they continued to walk he couldn't help but take the other in.

Everything about him irritated the boy. Then the realization hit Luke, he didn't hate the other he just envied him. He was jealous of how gorgeous the other was while Luke was just plain and honestly quite ugly.

Michael noticed the way Luke took his lip ring into his mouth and the way that his eyes were shining with realization and sadness.

"Luke, are you alright?"

Neither knew what was happening as Luke grabbed Michael into a hug. Although the latter was confused he soon wrapped his arms around the taller boys waist and hugged him back.

They stood in each others embrace for what felt like eternity before Luke pulled away and cleared his throat. "Yeah I'm good, lets go." He mumbled as if nothing happened.

About five minutes later they found themselves in front of an animal shelter.

"I come here every weekend to volunteer so I just figured we could do it together today, you like animals right?" Michael's eyes suddenly widened, confusing the blonde before he spoke again, "Shit, I didn't even ask you if you were allergic to anything before I brought you here."

Luke laughed at the panic and worry laced in Michael's voice, "Michael, it's all good. I'm not allergic and I love that you brought me here."

That small bit of reassurance was all Michael needed before he confidently grabbed the others hand and pulled him into the place they'd be for the rest of their third hour.

-

"Aren't you just precious?"

Michael was sitting on the floor surrounded by little kittens. He spoke to them as if they were all his babies, which in a way they were as they had been at this shelter for nearly a month.

Luke couldn't help but admire the elder realizing how kitten-like Michael really looked. The thought made him smile as he continued to bathe the dog he had placed in front of him.

By this point they had been at the shelter for 20 minutes, Michael not leaving the kittens once as he made sure each one was well taken care of and played with.

Luke on the other hand had been all over the shelter. Bathing the dogs that needed it and playing with the ones that didn't. He enjoyed this place more than he'd enjoyed anything in awhile and he admired the other for volunteering here every weekend.

Time passed quickly as the clock slowly hit twelve and Luke frowned.

"Michael?"

"Hm?"

"Your third hour is up."
