I am going to act like that didn't just happen. Not only did he see me completely naked, but I saw him get hard. It was honestly a little weird to think that he would think about me like that. In all the years that I have known him he has never shown any interest. I really was hoping that he would just move on and stay with Sam and move on like nothing happened, but things aren't like that. He has been touchy too. When he pulled me into his lap and hugged me it got a little weird. It's not that I don't hug him normally but it's never in an intimate way.

Pushing the thoughts out of my mind; I get in the shower. Luke has a bathroom in his room, but I use one in the hall. Its directly across from my room, so I find it convenient to wear a towel in and out. Next time I'll have to just wear my clothes into the bathroom. I turn on the water and get in. The warm water rushes over my skin and I use a clean rag to rub in a vanilla body wash. The soap smells up the bathroom with a nice scent. I let the water run into hair and I use a strengthening shampoo followed by conditioner.

"Um, Zac, the food is done whenever you're ready." I hear Luke calling from outside the bathroom door. I quickly get out and wash my face in the sink. I then use a serum for acne scars and moisturize. I tie the towel around my waist and open the door reluctantly. I peak my head out and see Luke sitting at the counter on his phone. I use this time to rush across the hall to my room. I open my suitcase after closing the door behind me. All my clothes are untouched, so I pull out some grey sweatpants and a red shirt. I decide not to wear underwear because it's my house too.

"Which one are you doing to eat?" I ask as I walk out of my room. Luke doesn't look up from his phone or acknowledge that I said anything. In front of him is the chicken alfredo meal. I knew he wouldn't like the pesto, so I made sure to get two different meals. I walk up behind him and pinch the back of his neck.

"What the hell Zac!" Luke snaps at me and I move away. He looks at me as I sit down next to him and stir the pasta. I was just messing with him.

"Sorry. What's wrong with you?" I ask him and stand up to get us each something to drink. I used my fake ID to buy us some beer. There's a small liquor shop on the way to campus so I had the uber stop. I pull two of them out of the fridge and set them on the counter. One thing I forgot to get was a bottle opener.

"Nothing. Just mind your business." Zac says and continues playing on his phone. I roll my eyes as I search for something to use to open the can. If I knew that I would forget to buy one, then I would've just gotten cans. But the glass is easier for us to recycle. The school doesn't offer that so me and Luke are going to make a trip every now and then to drop it off at our parents' house. Since we both grew up doing that it only makes sense to continue it.

"Okay fine." I reply and go to grab a knife from the drawer. I walk over the sink and put the knife under the lip of the lid. I try to pry it up gently, but it won't budge. Tired of it not opening and desperately wanting a nice beer, I stupidly use all my strength. The knife goes straight through the tip of my finger. I let out a yelp and Luke rushes to my side.

"What did you do? I have a bottle opener in my room." Luke says and clamps his hand around my finger. The very top of it was sliced off. It isn't bad enough to go to the hospital for, but it hurts like a mofo.

"I didn't ask for one because you're being a dick to me." I say and walk away from Luke. I know that he cares about me, but it doesn't show when he acts like that. I should've stayed in the bathroom longer to hide from him.

"I'm sorry. I just feel bad for peaking earlier." Luke admits and covers his face with his hands. Like I already didn't know. I saw him get a little excited when I went to pick up the towel. I bet its really big. Although we have been friends for 18 years, I have never seen his dick.

"It's fine. I have to go clean this up, so you can open those while I'm gone." I say and walk to my bathroom. When I close the door, I can't help but laugh at the fact that he peaked. Maybe what was funnier is that he admitted to it.

"Yeah okay." I hear Luke say from outside the bathroom door. He must have followed me. I hope that he'll be nice enough to clean the sink that is now probably covered in my blood. I should've rinsed everything before I came to clean my finger up.

I open up the cabinet under the sink in my bathroom. Since I went to the store and picked up a bunch of new shampoos and cleaners, it looks like a bathroom that has been used. I was smart to pick up band aids too. I open the brand-new box and unwrap one. After securing it around my index finger I throw away the wrapper. Luke knocks on the door and I walk over to open it.

"I got your favorite movie. Do you want to watch it with me after we eat?" Luke asks and holds up a DVD copy of Weekend. When I was about 15, I went to a movie store with a few friends and found this movie. Originally, I got it because it was about gay men but after watching it, I really enjoyed it.

"Where did you find one? My last copy was broken." I say and grab it out of his hand. I look at it before handing it back. The smile on my face is very noticeable as Luke explains that he picked it up on his way home from the resort.

"So, do you want to watch it or not?" Luke says as we both walk back into the kitchen to finish our dinner. I haven't seen the movie in so long because my last copy got burned in the DVD player at a guy's house. When I told Luke about it for the first time, he laughed in my face. When I say in face, I mean got up close and laughed inches away from my face.

"Yeah, I would love to watch it with you." I say and we both sit down to enjoy our meals and a cold beer. I can't wait to watch this movie. Now that I think about it... Why does Luke want to watch the movie with me when he refused when we were younger?

I personally cannot wait to write the next chapter! There will be some cute fluff to look forward to! Thanks for reading!
