...

luke had been spending a lot of time with calum while michael was at school. he learned about calum's favorite foods (how he liked his eggs in the morning specifically), what college calum went to, blah blah blah. calum was getting closer to him. and vice versa.

luke was starting to get comfortable.

he and calum were chilling at luke's house on a monday morning, talking about whatever.

"how's the story you're reading?" luke asked him.

they often brought over their work and just sat down next to each other and read, talking only if they wanted to say 'this one sucks', or 'I don't think english is this guy's first language.'

luke was currently reading a story about a kidnapping, and how the young boy was heroic and whatever. the writing was good, but man, the storyline sucked.

after sitting and reading, occasionally marking the paper with a bright red pen, luke checked his watch.

1:37

his stomach growled.

"you hungry?" he asked calum.

"a little."

this was kind of their routine for the last couple days. cal comes over, they sit and correct for a couple hours, small talk and comments interrupting the silence every couple minutes. then, around 1:30 luke gets hungry and they eat, like, pizza or left overs. then they pick up their furries from school and go home.

calum's never gone over on a weekend, most likely because luke wants to spend the whole time in bed, cuddling with michael.

luke and calum eat some food in the kitchen, still talking about whatever they were reading. they day moves quickly, and soon enough it's almost 3:00.

"hey, it's almost time." luke reminds calum, who looks engrossed in the book he's reading.

luke smiles slightly at the way calum's eyebrows were scrunched together. his lips moved with no sound coming out and his eyes glided swiftly over the paper.

"c'mon, cal." luke coos, walking towards the door.

"hey! wait up!" britt calls, running up to michael and ace.

ace rolled his eyes. michael almost groaned.

"yes?"

"can I hang out with you guys?" she asks, jumping up and down.

"not really." ace fires, glaring at her. her eyes soften a bit, and her smile falls.

"o-okay." he looks at michael, hoping to get some sympathy.

"bye." he rolls his eyes, turning back to ace.

britt walks away, anger suddenly boiling in her chest.

"fucking dicks." she cursed, her mind racing.

michael had been hanging out with ace every single day. he was funny and smart and helped michael with his homework.

"can you ask luke if I can come over sometime?" ace asks.

michael shrugged, "sure. when do you want to come over?"

ace sighed, thinking. "saturday? then we can work on the chemistry project."

michael nodded, liking the idea. "I'll ask him."

calum had to go home early from luke's today to pick of something's for britt. he said something about surprising her or whatever.

luke was alone with about an hour or two to spare, and curiously went through michael's adoption papers. his eyes scan the papers thoughtfully and he notices michael's birthday is happening in three days. three days.

luke smirks to himself, already planning in his head what's going to happen that day.

he quickly drives to the mall to pick out his gift for his kitten and then drove back home in time to hide the present and pick michael up from school.
