they had sat on the couch and cried in each other's arms until they couldn't anymore, whispering how much they missed each other.

when all the tears dried and the puffiness in their eyes went down, they pulled apart.

"michael" luke whispered, "what happened while i was gone?"

michael shook his head, "it's a long story. tell me yours first."

smiling, he told him everything. from when he entered the place to when he made his first friend, to when he made his last friend, and what had happened when he came home.

luke was home.

the white-haired boy smiled in admiration of this boy's adventures.

"please tell me what happened with you" the boy begged.

michael gave luke a sad smile, "i became a drunk. you know- after you left."

luke gasped, shaking his head. "no- please tell me you didn't."

he had history with loved ones who had an alcohol addiction, and he hated it. he absolutely loathed alcohol.

"i'm sorry baby" michael said softly, pressing a kiss to his lips. "after a while i got better, though. one night i stumbled through an alley and found this boy named calum."

he told the rest of the story, leaving out a few parts for the boy's sake.

"a-and then jack kept asking why he didn't have a mommy like everyone else and i couldn't tell him because he wouldn't understand and i felt like absolute shit. but katie is like a mother figure to him, so that helps, i guess."

he smiled sadly at the memory of paisley. grief still wallowed up every once in a while, but when her name was ever mentioned, he smiled because she was an amazing person, and she would've made an amazing mom.

"sometimes," luke said, noticing my sadness, "it was scary. there were times when the voices and the hallucinations and everything crept back, and it was terrifying to see ashton. but that's not what- that's not what scared me the most."

his eyes looked haunted, almost. michael leaned closer and rested the palms of his hands on the younger boy's face. "what was it, baby?"

luke licked his lips, staring at the ground for a few brief seconds and then looked back at michael.

"i-i saw you."
