(muke is lower case bc it doesn't deserve to be capiatalized!)
"Cal baby, whats wrong?" I ask my boyfriend.
He's been really quiet lately and I'm starting to worry. He's never been this quiet. I have no idea why he's acting this way but he's always on his phone instead of addressing the problem with me.
"Nothing Luke." He replies shortly. This is another thing. He hasn't been calling me by my nick name's either. No "Lukey"s or "babe"s. He hasn't even touched me in any way.
I walk over to the couch where he is sitting on his phone. I wrap my arms around his shoulders from behind. "C'mon baby please tell me whats wrong." I pout. He only shrugs me off and turns back to his phone. I don't quit though, I know something is wrong and I'm gonna find out what it is.
"No Cal, please I wanna cuddle." I whine hoping that that'll convince him.
"Go cuddle with Michael." He says with a venom that makes me flinch back.
"Why would I cuddle Mikey when I have you?" I ask seriously. It seems as if he's jealous.
"Well all the fans think you would be so much better with him, so why don't you guys just get together already." He grumbles.
I cant help but chuckle at Calum and his pointless jealousy. He doesn't take this the right way as he scoots away from me.
Me and Calum haven't come out to the fans yet. Calum wants to, he told me about three months ago but I made it clear that I just don't feel ready for that. I'm still not sure if I am.
So they don't know about us. But even if they did, they're just silly little ships. I don't mind when people ship Calum with other people because I know that at the end of the day, Calum is mine. And that's exactly what I tell him.
"Cal honey, how can the fans possibly know that we're together? They don't mean to make you feel bad, and you know I would never be with Michael when I have you. The ships are just for fun." He still has his arms crossed over his chest and he refuses to look at me.
I move closer to him to wrap my arms around him and nuzzle my face into his neck. "I don't mind if people ship you with others because I know that at the end of the day, I'll be the one laying next to you in bed, kissing you goodnight. I know that you are mine, and I am yours." I finish my mini speech with a small kiss on his neck. I feel him squirm, but he finally looks at me with a little smile on his face.
"I know Luke. I'm sorry. I love you so much and I'm trying to control my jealousy. I don't know what brought it on but I cant help it." He says in a somewhat sad tone. He buries his face into my neck now switching the roles.
I kiss his forehead. And rub his arms up and down. "I know baby. I know."

We all pile into a van on our way to our interview. I slide into the car and Calum slides in next to me. Michael is in the seat in front of us probably on his phone and Ashton is currently having family time.
I lean against Calum and his arms immediately wrap around my waist. We sit in silence until we reach the studio.
_________________
I sit on the couch with Calum next to me and Michael next to him.
We answer a bunch of questions that we have heard millions of times before. Throughout the whole interview, Calum is making silly faces at me while I try not to giggle. Yes, giggle. I, Luke Hemmings, giggle.
His silly faces stop however, when the interviewer asks us a certain question.
"So, how's Muke going?" She asks.
I feel Calum stiffen besides me and I see his fists clench.
I feel guilty for some reason and I do something I may or may not have been ready for.
Calum looks pissed off and Michael seems uncomfortable. The interviewer just looks at us expectantly. Well I guess I'll have to answer her question and I don't know if I'm actually ready for what I'm about to do.
"Well, Muke is great!" I say, and I feel Calum stiffen even more and look at me with hurt swimming in his eyes. "As a bromance." I finish.
"But, Cake," I say pulling Calum closer to me into my arms, "Cake is amazing." I say starting to lean in. Calum's face is filled with shock and confusion.
I just smile at him and connect our lips. I hear gasps all around me but I don't care. All I care about is the little intake of breath coming from Calum, and the feel of his soft plump lips against mine.
We finally pull away with smiles across both of our faces.
"Yeah. Cake is amazing."
