Friends With Benefits (Luke Hemmings AU)

viii.

The week that followed was surprisingly average, I went to school, work, Luke's. Nothing else, no parties, no hot costumers, nothing. 

"Lukey, I'm bored," I whined, rolling over so I would be laying on his stomach. 

Luke was smiling up at his phone, biting on his lip ring. 

"Who are you texting?" I asked, trying to crawl up his torso to see his phone, "It's not Stacy is it?" 

 "Maybe," he smiled, locking his phone and throwing it off the bed, "I think we are going on an actual date on tomorrow."

"Oh," and wow, "So she's like girlfriend material, not just learning-how-to-hook-up material?"

Luke shrugged, "I'm not sure, I've never had a girlfriend."

"Well I'm proud of you," I didn't know why but I didn't know if I really believed what I was saying. 

"Like, what do even wear on a date?" Luke asked, throwing his phone on the floor. 

I shrugged, as much as I wanted to be a soppourtive friend, I was done with this conversation, "I dunno, call Sophie." 

I rolled over so I was on top of him, "Do you want too practice for your date though, because I can help you with that." 

Luke smiled and pulled me closer by my waist. 

- 

"How was it?" Sophie asked the same question in the same Macca's in the same booth as last time. 

"I think it went pretty good," Luke smiled, I could tell he was really proud of himself. 

"Did you guys hook up or anything," I asked. 

Luke shrugged, but had a satisfied smirk on his face, "You're such a manwhore!" Sophie yelled, causing the few people inside to turn towards us and Luke's face to go completely red.

 "Am not," he pouted, and Luna wanted to do nothing more than to pinch his cheeks, "I've only done... stuff with one person," he looked to Luna quickly, "basically." 

"So if you guys went on a date does this make you a thing?" Soph asked whilst bouncing up and down. I didn't understand why Sophie was so excited, when I could barley force a smile. 

"Uh," Luke began, scratching the back of his neck, " I kinda asked her to be my girlfriend." Luke said out in one breath. 

"What," Sophie said flatly, even she knew he fucked up. 

"Don't you think that's a little too soon?"I asked Luke. 

"I don't know, I really like her and.. I don't know, don't yell at me." 

"We aren't yelling," Sophie said, placing her hand over his, "We are just trying to help." 

"But Luna is," Luke pointed at me. 

I rolled my eyes, "Let me just ask you a question," Luke nodded, and I was pretty scared he was just too afraid to say 'no', "Are you thinking with your head or your dick?" 

Luke pouted for a bit more before mumbling, "My dick." 

"That's what we thought," Sophie said, patting his hand before leaning back, "Now tell us how she reacted." 

"She said yes?" Luke said more like a question. 

"Yes?!" Sophie and I yelled at the same time. 

"Like a yes yes or like a yes, but only because I fell bad for saying no," Sophie said, getting really serious again. 

I was still confused on how me and Sophie had become best friends. 

"I don't know," Luke's voice got high, "I don't even know there were different types of yes's?"

"Tell us her exact response," Sophie said, placing her arms in front of her, and I'm pretty sure she got that off of CSI. 

"Well, she squealed or something, hugged me then dropped onto her knees," Luke said the last part quickly. 

Soph and my mouth dropped, "Shit," I said. 

"What? Is it bad?" Luke asked, twisting his rings around his fingers. 

"No, that's like- shit-" I said, completely surprised that it went that well, "fuck Luke, that's really good." 

Luke took a deep breath and smiled, "Thanks guys." 

And that night I couldn't sleep, because I couldn't keep my mind off of Luke.
