a very very very boring chapter so here's luke in the media

"It's opening night today," Luke's lips vibrated on the skin of Calum's neck as he mumbled, causing the latter to shiver a little.

The sun has barely risen, there were a few more tens of minutes to go, but the duo had been up since four in the morning because Luke couldn't fall back asleep after waking up to get a glass of water, so being the boyfriend, Calum had to pay the price as well.

The two were currently spooning, with Luke as the big spoon who had one of his legs slotted between Calum's thighs, and Calum as the small spoon, leaning back against the blonde's rising and falling chest, hands on top of the blonde's hands which were wrapped loosely around his torso. Luke would give Calum small pecks on his neck here and there, and sometimes nibble if he ever felt the slightest naughty. Sometimes, Luke would also drag his finger across the skin of Calum's thigh, playfully tracing his v-line from time to time.

"Have you rehearsed your lines well enough?" Calum asks Luke, who was once again busy with nibbling on Calum's neck.

This may be his greatest weakness, Calum had to admit.

"I don't know, have I?" Luke responds before kissing Calum's neck one last time, then pulling him into a tighter embrace.

"I think you'll do great...awesome, fantastic!" Calum encourages the boy whom he knew was rather insecure at times.

He gave Luke a reassuring squeeze, before filling his fingers into the gaps formed between the blonde's fingers.

"Thanks babe," Luke sighed, slowly turning Calum around so that they were facing each other.

Calum looked into the blonde's tired blue eyes, scanning them, before moving on to scanning his thin red lips.

He leans in to capture Luke in a kiss, as both of their bodies heated up upon their lips touching, with both love and warmth.

Their lips move in synchronisation, and before they knew it, they were out of breath.

Both of them pulled away and Luke held Calum close to him.

"You should sleep a little more boo," Calum says to Luke while playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. "I'll be in your grasp and you'll see me the first thing you wake up, okay?"

"Mmhm," Luke mumbles tiredly.

Calum pecks his lips before Luke falls into a peaceful slumber.

"That's a wrap for our last rehearsal, please take care of yourself and have more water. Don't loose your chill tonight," Minho bellows into the microphone as the actors walk off stage.

"Calum, I need you to help with the lighting today, I'm sure you know the cues by now so tonight, you'll be helping them and also flipping the script just in case, is that good?" Minho turned to Calum as he gave his instructions as Calum gave him a set of thumbs up before heading off to find Luke.

As Calum walks into Luke's dressing room, he sees Aaron there, trying to help Luke undress his costume and Luke was obviously very uncomfortable.

Calum felt a pang of jealousy, not very sure why since it was evident that Luke didn't like it.

But then again, Calum was always jealous of something or someone.

"Um Aaron I can do it myself," Luke mumbles but Aaron ignores it.

"Aaron," Calum calls out and raises an eyebrow at him. "Out, now."

"Whoops sorry, gotta let both of you have some privacy," Aaron fake laughs and strolls out of the room, smirking as he passes Calum.
