Cliché (MUKE)

I need to tell you something Michael.

An/ bit of a timeskip!!!

"Luke, babe what's wrong?" I ask Luke, our vacation was almost over and it had been so perfect, everything was going to well and I was looking forward to bringing him home.

"You love me right Michael?" Luke asks me, I move up to him and hold him tight, we were sitting outside on a rock where I'd found him, it was raining a little but I didn't care.

"Yes I love you Luke, with all my heart." I tell him, moving his face so he was looking at me.

"Why are you asking me this? Do I not show it enough? Do I not tell you enough?" I ask him, he shrugs.

"Sometimes I just feel like you would be better with somebody else." Luke says, he looks out into the distance and then sighs deeply.

"I need to tell you something Michael." Luke whispers to me, he looks pained as he says it and the tears in his eyes show me he's hurting.

"You can tell me anything Penguin." I tell him.

 "I know how you feel towards Charming, you don't want to feel it I can tell that but you feel it. You still dream about it." Luke says, I glance down because what he was saying is true. I dream about him often, not of the last night but our first night. I dream about the masquerade.

"I love you Luke, I swear. I thought of you when he was with me, I always wanted you." I tell him honestly.

"I know that, but a part of me wonders if you like his confidence that much, do you dislike that part about me? Do you want me to be more like that?" Luke asks.

"Because I can, I can be more confident. I can be like him, I can be him." Luke says before I can reply.

"Luke I love you just the way you are ok, you're perfect just how you are." I tell him, cupping his face in my hands to look at him.

"If I'm perfect then why do you like him? We're nothing alike." Luke asks me.

"Luke, babe you are perfect. You're everything I want and more." I assure him.

"Then why do you want Charming? Why do you feel what you feel towards him if you've got me?" Luke asks me.

"I don't know! Luke I swear I don't know! I wish I knew but I don't ok. It's like when he looks at me I still feel like how you look at me and when he kissed me, I used to feel how I feel when we kiss. I can't explain it Luke. Fuck, I don't even know what to say. You know I love you and I wish you'd stop bringing this up!" I yell at him.

"How am I supposed to feel Michael? Waking up and hearing you moan his name! Do you think I like it, hearing my boyfriend be so infatuated with a guy he doesn't even know the actual name of! You don't know who he is Michael!" Luke yells back at me.

"I wish I knew so I could get him out of my head, all I want is you Luke, why can't you understand that? I'm sorry ok, I can't control my dreams and if I could I'd dream only of you. You don't know the guilt I feel in the morning when I wake up and see you lying in my arms. You're so fucking beautiful and I don't deserve you! I don't and you know it and I know it. If you hated it that much then why haven't you broken up with me?" I ask him, feeling tears come up.

"Because I love you Michael, but Charming isn't who you think he is." Luke tells me.

"How do you know?" I ask him.

"Because I know! I know he's not what he claims to be! He's not confident like that and he's not, he's not who you think he is." Luke tells me, he runs his hands through his hair in frustration.

"You know who it is don't you?" I ask him.

"YES I know who it is! I'm not even sure how I feel about it because I don't know if I should be happy you like him or not." Luke says angrily.

"Why in the world would you be happy about it? Luke who is it?" I ask him.

"Do you want to know? Think about it Michael, do you really want to know who it is?" He asks me.

"No, no I don't. Because I love you Luke, and knowing who he is won't change that so I might just never know." I tell him.

"You need to know though, I know you want to know." Luke says.

"Then tell me, if you think I need to know then tell me." I say to him.

"But you'll be so mad when I tell you." Luke whispers, his shoulders slumping and his head hung down.

"Why would I be mad?" I ask him.

"You'll hate me, Michael I know you'll hate me." Luke whispers.

"Luke, either you tell me or you don't. I don't care, all I want is to forget about him. All he's done is pull us apart and I hate myself every day for that. I hate what he's done to me, I hate that I've made you cry because of him and I hate that nomatter what I do I still always dream of him." I tell Luke.

"It's just the mystery of it all, it's interesting and like some sort of fucking fairy tale but I want my fairy tale to be with you. I just don't see this ending in a happily ever after if Charming won't leave my mind." I admit, I sit down and start crying. In front of Luke of all places, I was crying and I was a mess.

"You are my happily ever after Michael." Luke tells me, he's sitting down in front of me and he pulls me into a hug.

"I can't tell you the truth about him, because telling you would ruin what we have but know that knowing the truth is hurting me so so much. I'll live with that hurt to keep you." Luke tells me.

"I don't want you being hurt." I tell him, looking him in the eyes.

"You'll never look at me the same if I tell you, you'll never see me like you see me now. I won't be your little Penguin anymore. I can't do that, I want you to always look at me like I'm your little Penguin because you look at me with so much love and I've ruined that. I've lied to you and I've used you in so many different ways. I've become something I never wanted to become Michael, I'm breaking a relationship apart, and it's my own relationship I'm doing that to. I can't do this anymore, I quit you know. I stopped after that night, I knew I'd hurt you, I knew it would never be the same. I just needed you so badly." Luke's whispers, I frown because what the fuck is he going on about.

"Luke, what are you talking about?" I ask him.

"I can't, I can't. I'm so sorry for doing this to you." Luke whispers, he then stands up and runs inside. I walk up to the door but get stopped by Calum.

AN/ Wow this is a long chapter :S heheheheh ok How do you think Luke knows who Charming is? Why do you think Luke keeps bringing him up and why won't he tell Michael who Charming is?? Do you think it's fair on Michael for Luke to keep bringing this up? Do you think it's fair on Luke for Michael to have feeling for Charming, eventhough Michael really can't help it? What do you think will happen next?
