after fighting, michael has a nightmare and can't fall back asleep without his lukey

michael sighed, playing with the corner of the guest rooms bed sheets. he was lonely, tired, sad, but mostly pissed at himself. he had started yet another small argument that somehow turned into a full blown fight between him and luke.

sure, they had their little daily back and forth bickering - like most couples did - but it never got to the point where one of them had kicked the other out of the bedroom for the night. now that it had happened, michael was hating himself.

the spare room didn't have the same feeling as luke and michael's room, it was plain. the walls were a dark blue color, and bedspread to match. other than the bed itself, there was nothing else that occupied the room except for the dull dresser in the corner.

it lacked everything michael loved about their bedroom; the easily more than one hundred polaroids taped to the walls, the fairy lights luke had insisted on hanging up, the comfortable bedding that they cuddled underneath every night, the big box filled with letters from fans - even the dirty laundry that they never seemed to have time to pick up. but most importantly, it was lacking luke.

the blue-haired boy decided that he had done enough moping for one night, and he should probably get some sleep. he knew that luke was already asleep, because he could hear his loud snoring even with their bedroom door closed. michael left the guest room door open just so he could stare longingly at the room his boyfriend was in.

exhaling once again, michael crawled underneath the boring blue covers and curled up into himself, trying to work up as much body heat as he would normally get from luke.

it felt wrong, sleeping alone. they hadn't been apart one night since they had gotten together. they didn't need to, considering they spent every day together for work. even when they went home to visit family, one was always sleeping in the others childhood room.

michael stared at the door, tapping his fingers against his stomach. the longer he stared, the more his eyes started to grow heavy, and within twenty minutes, he had fallen asleep.

. . .

a few hours later and michael was roused from his sleep, caused by a terrible dream that he couldn't seem to remember. all he could recall was that it wasn't good and it left him edgy.

he sleepily looked around, not recognizing the room he was in and nearly had a panic attack. not only did he not realize where he was, but he was alone as well.

"luke?" he hoarsely called out, swallowing the lump in his throat. his hands felt shaky and his breathing was starting to become quicker the longer he waited for a response. his eyes may or may not have watered a little as well.

"luke - oh," he murmured when his eyes landed on the bedroom door, coming to the realization that he had made luke upset merely hours ago and he was in the guest room.

still a little unnerved from his dream, michael stood up and sauntered into the hallway, wanting more than to curl up next to luke and fall back asleep. he knew that if he stayed in that stupid guest room for the rest of the night, he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep after having that horrible dream.

the bedroom door creaked slightly when michael pushed on the handle, making the boy quietly curse to himself.

luke was fast asleep, laying on his back as he usually did so michael could snuggle into his side. as he got closer, michael noticed the melancholy expression in the younger's face; the little creases in his forehead causing michael to frown. he really had made luke upset.

pushing his thoughts of their earlier fight aside, michael crawled up onto the mattress and sat against his knees, carefully leaning forward to shake luke's shoulder. he got a quiet grunt in response.

huffing, michael tried again, successfully making luke stir and blink his eyes open.

"what?" luke grumbled, obviously not pleased that he was awoken at such a ridiculous hour.

"c-can i sleep in here, please?"

"no," luke mumbled, turning onto his side so his back was to michael.

frowning, michael rubbed his eyes, the urge to tear up coming back. he was just upset and so sleepy and those two things together didn't go well for the poor lad.

"please? i had a bad dream and i don't want to sleep alone," michael pleaded, pulling his sweater sleeves over his knuckles out of habit.

"honestly michael? go sleep in the guest room tonight. i don't want to talk to you right now," luke snapped.

michael bit his now trembling lip, his tiredness getting the best of him and making him even more frustrated.

"luke," he whimpered, pouting slightly.

luke heard the older boy's voice about to break, rolling over to face his teary-eyed boyfriend.

"mikey," he cooed, instantly feeling terrible for shutting him out. he set the fight aside for now and sat up, opening his arms up for the smaller of the two to curl up into his chest.

michael did just that, laying his head against luke's broad chest, letting his eyes droop shut. luke coddled him, rubbing his large hands against michael's back.

michael felt a lot better now that he was wrapped up in luke's arms, the slow movement of his hands soothing him and making him even drowsier than before.

"m'sorry," michael murmured into luke's chest, letting out a cute little yawn afterwards that had luke looking like he wanted to scream out how fond he was of the colorful boy who was almost asleep.

"go to sleep, kitten," luke smiled, running his slim fingers through the soft tufts of michael's hair.

a small hum was what he got in response, mere seconds before the older boy was fast asleep.

luke carefully laid the both of them down, making sure michael stayed asleep, then pulled him into his arms against him. he kissed the top of michael's head, giving him a small nestle before he drifted back to sleep as well, the reason why he was so upset now long forgotten.
