Michael had always been quite insecure about himself; almost everyone has been at least once in their life. He constantly felt bad about the way he looked, especially since his bandmates - one of them being his boyfriend - were so much more fit than he was.

Jealousy was a constant feeling he had; the three other members of 5 Seconds of Summer seemed to have more muscle on their arms, slimmer looking faces, and they didn't have that little bit of tummy that Michael couldn't seem to get rid of. It frustrated him, why couldn't he look as good as the rest of his band?

The worst part about the way Michael felt was that he always felt uncomfortable taking his shirt off in front of the others, especially Luke. Who would want to take their shirt off in front of their boyfriend when you felt bad about yourself every time you even looked at your self you were reminded about how much better they were than you?

Luke had been bugging Michael about going to the beach for the past few days, wanting to use their time in Sydney doing something other than sitting inside cuddling. Not that he didn't enjoy cuddling, but it had been so nice out and he didn't want to waste the good beach weather.

Michael hated the beach. It was full of shirtless guys with nice bodies, and it was a place where he felt like a complete loser. Going to the beach wasn't fun anymore, it was torture. He had made a few excuses not to go (It's too hot outside, I'll sunburn. I'm not feeling good today), but Luke was determined to get him to go with him.

After three days of begging, Michael finally agreed, though hesitantly. Luke had thanked him with a kiss, which had made Michael smile for the moment, but now that they were packing their bag into the backseat of the car, Michael regretted giving into his boyfriend. Damn his adorable face and irresistible pout.

Michael planned on keeping his Metallica tank top on for the whole day, not wanting to show off his pale chest and tummy. He was sure that Luke would question it, but he was going to try and avoid it if it did come up. It was going to be a fun day of relaxing at the beach, not worrying about something as stupid as Michael's insecurity.

When they arrived at the beach closest to their house, Luke jumped out of the front seat of the car and grabbed their bag, which had a few towels, a blanket, a volleyball and sunblock. Michael was thankful that Luke had remembered the sunblock, since he burned easily and it was over 90 degrees outside. The next day definitely wouldn't have been fun without it.

They set up the blanket on the grass right on the edge of the sand, and sat down. Luke rummaged through the bag and pulled out the little blue tube of sunscreen, tossing it over to Michael. The bleached blonde picked it up and motioned for Luke to come over to him, knowing that he would want Michael to put it on his back for him. "Come here."

Luke positioned himself in between Michael's legs, taking ahold of the hem of his shirt and tugging it off in one quick motion. Michael stared at Luke's broad back for a few seconds, brushing his fingers over his skin. He really hated Luke at the moment for having such a pretty body, while he was stuck with the one he had. Realizing that Luke was sitting in front of him for a reason, he squirted a little sunscreen onto the palm of his hand and rubbed it into Luke's back, then his arms and chest. Luke leaned back into Michael's touch, humming contently.

He finished up with the back of Luke's shoulders, then squeezed a little out for himself. He rubbed it into his arms and put a little bit on his face as well before tossing the little bottle back into the bag.
