Higher than the Sky

Michael POV

Ew. I am surrounded by people. I want Ashton to shoot me. It would take me out of this miserable mess. I just literally have been in love with Luke since the moment I first saw him and now I finally think he likes me back. So I want him to make a move. That is why I am currently in this mix of sweaty peasants.

I make eye contact with Ashton and he gestures towards Luke and Calum. Perfect. I mouth to him to 'put on a show' and he turns around. Alright let's get this party started.

Nobody POV

Michael looks back to where he last saw Luke and is disappointed when he only sees Calum. He shrugs it off and goes back to moving his body to the beat of the music, completely unaware of the amount of horny people with their eyes on him.

Luke, on the other hand, was aware; and he didn't like it one bit. He moved to the opposite side of the club after Michael noticed him. He was slowly making his way to Michael, casually passing through the sea people between them, approaching his backside. Luke decided he was going to go for it. He decided he was going to tell Michael how he really felt. But only after they got home. He felt the urge to grab the knifes from his boots grow stronger as he got closer to Michael. There's no denying that Michael was sexy af. So of course he would attract attention of other wandering eyes, especially when dancing. Luke didn't like that. Michael was his. Finally Luke was able to reach his target.

Luke wrapped his arms tightly around Michael's waist from behind and pulled him close, tilting his head downwards and starting to kiss the spot under his ear.

Michael leaned back into him, electrified by his touch.

"You're so naughty Michael, trying to get me jealous," Michael shivered as Luke whispered into his ear, "looks like we're going to need to have a talk when we get home."

Luke went back to kissing and biting the spot under the back of Michael's ear. Marking him as his.

"O-okay," Michael gasped out, beginning to feel breathless from the way Luke was touching him.

But the two boys immediately stopped once screams were heard.

"Fuck you Calum," Luke murmured, detaching himself from Michael's neck. Michael took his outstretched hand and they proceeded to quickly walk towards the source of the commotion. He knows it's not Ashton causing the issue because if so, there would be gunshots. He assumes Calum is beating the shit out of some random dude and he knows he has to get there before people suspect something. During the first month that Calum was starting to steal thing, he got into fights a lot because people caught him. After that first month, nobody ever caught him again; yet, he still liked street fighting so he picked it up as a hobby and now he does it on occasion for some fun. Basically, Luke knows he needs to get there fast.

Ashton was feeling very nervous. He was worried about people looking at him and Calum and getting suspicious. But he did like watching at Calum beating that dude up. He thinks Calum looks very handsome, the flashing lights of the club highlighting his features.

Calum was seeing red.

Luke pulled Michael close to him as he saw his assumptions were correct, and wrapped him into a hug.

"You get Ashton, take him home, and be safe. I'll take care of Calum, okay? Just don't be noticeable and be careful. I love you Michael." Luke said kissing Michael's forehead before letting him go and headed towards the commotion.

"O-Okay," Michael said, feeling slightly dazed. He was shocked, had Luke just said he loved him? He wondered if he meant it. But he shook his head quickly, clearing his thoughts. He had to focus on getting Ashton out of there. So Michael broke through the circle surrounding the fight and took in the scene.

First, he saw Luke shouting things like, "Tom! Thomas! Calm down dude, come on!" Next, he saw Calum on top of and punching a dude who was laying on the ground. Lastly, he saw Ashton, who was stood about 5 feet behind them, apart of the surrounding circle of spectators, never taking his eyes off Calum.

Michael made his way around the circle until he got to Ashton. He then grabbed Ashton's arm and headed towards the exit of the club, making a quick exit.

"Did you mean it?"

Those are the first words Luke hears after walking into Michael's room. He had successfully gotten Calum off of the man and convinced all witnesses that 'Thomas' was out of his mind drunk. After escaping that ordeal, he and Calum headed to a store quickly so that Calum could steal some black hair-dye. Luke was worried about Michael being in public. As soon as they got home, he went to check on Michael and Calum went to check on Ashton.

"Mean what?" He asked Michael, who was barefoot and perched at the end of his bed.

"When you said you loved me, did you mean it?"

Luke sighed and sat next to Michael on his bed.

"Yes. I do love you Michael. I have liked you ever since I first met you, and as time went by I found myself falling in love you. I remember being intrigued by you when you first contacted me, saying you wanted to me to meet up with you and Calum. I did and as soon as I saw you I knew I was a goner. I love you Michael. I love the way you laugh, I love the way you smile, I love the way you hack, I love your happiness after messing around with people's lives, and I could say so much more. Michael, you are an amazing person and I love you so much. My love for you is higher than the sky. I know I'm not much; I get joy out of killing people. However, I care about you. I care about you, Ash, and Calum. You guys are the only people I care about. Ash and Calum are my best friends, but you are so much more. I think you're the love of my life Michael. I know this may seem a little fast, me just coming out and saying I love you. But honestly, we've been unofficial boyfriends since like forever."

Michael feels butterflies flapping their wings in his stomach at his words. Luke loves him back.

"Luke?"

"Yes?"

"I love you too. I have for a while. I would make a speech about it, but I think you just covered everything."

Luke chuckled at Michael.

"And hey Luke, you know how you said the unofficial boyfriends thing. Aren't you supposed to have kissed me by now?"

"Well, how about we make this official and seal it with a kiss?"

"I am perfectly fine with that," Michael giggled as Luke pulled him into his lap and kissed him.

When their lips touched, the two boys felt nothing except for their love for one another. It was neither raunchy, nor sloppy. No, the kiss was just a passionate expression of love.

"Luke!!!!"

Michael frowns as he looks in the mirror, playing with his hair. He dyed his hair with the black hair-dye that Luke and Calum got him. He wanted to make it black and white.

"What's wrong?" Luke asks walking into the bathroom, stopping once he sees Michael's hair, "Oh."

Michael turns to him and points to his hair, "Would you please explain to me why the fuck my hair is blue?"
