Nirvana :: Sam Smith

There are plenty of fish in the sea, but you're the only one I'd like to catch and mount back at my place.

In his gray sweatpants and Spider-Man tee, Michael closed his house door behind him and went wide-eyed at the sight of his mailbox. Tied to the flag was a goldfish balloon and in his mailbox was a little post-it note that read;

Meet me at The Florida Aquarium at 3pm.

Luke x

Michael smiled to himself and skipped back into his house, getting ready for his date.

When Michael was finally done - after alot of hair tugging, throwing clothes around to look for the perfect outfit, and tying his shoe laces so they weren't hanging too much, which he did realize was totally crazy because Luke would probably not even notice; he was making his way to the aquarium in a Green Day tank top, black skinny jeans, and a pair of black boots.

Saying he was nervous was an understatement. Sure he had been on a date with Luke before, and it went pretty well for his liking, he was still scared he was going to mess up once.

When he arrived there, he went inside and looked for any blonde-haired beauty around the room, and when he spotted Luke, he smiled small, and walked over there slowly.

Luke was dressed in a Nirvana t-shirt, also black skinnies, and some black vans. When he saw Michael a big smile appeared on his face and he immediately turned around.

"Hi Michael," He said in his soothingly low voice. "You look beautiful. Did you like my surprise in your mailbox? It actually took me some time collecting the courage to do it." Luke chuckled, his blue eyes sparkling.

"I loved it. Nobody has ever done that for me.. That sounds pretty pathetic." Michael giggled.

"No, that's cute. You're cute.." Luke smiled admiringly at the younger boy, trailing off before snapping out of it. "Shall we sit down?" He said, pulling the chair out for Michael, being the gentleman he is.

"Thank you." Michael said quietly before sitting down, a blush creeping up his neck. Luke nodded, and sat down also.

Michael leaned his arms on the table, folding them. Luke did the same, but grabbed hold of Michael's hands.

"So, babe, I wanted to ask you something," Luke began, and Michael's heart started raising. "My boss, he's throwing a party for the staff, and he said we could take another person to come along, so I was thinking maybe you'd wanna come with me?" Michael puffed out the breath he was holding, in relief.

"Sure, that sounds nice." Michael smiled, looking down at their locked hands. He loved this. The feeling of Luke's warm hands holding his own, their fingers intertwined.

"Awesome, great." Luke grins, happiness evident in his voice. "It's on Thursday, I'll come pick you up." He smiled.

"So, you wanna watch the shark tank with me? I have access to the private area where you'll have better sight of it." Luke requested, already standing up and pulling out a key.

Michael nodded fast, and stood up, intertwining his and Luke's hands before letting Luke lead him to the area.

Michael was in between Luke's long legs, his hand holding his tummy while he's laughing so hard he can barely breathe, and Luke is chuckling from behind of him, his hand threw over his mouth lightly.

"Another one!" Michael giggled, leaning against Luke's chest.

"Okay, okay.. Uh, oh! What is a sharks favourite bible?" Luke grins, biting his lip to prevent himself from laughing already.

"I'd have no idea. What is it, Lukey?" Michael stared ahead of him, waiting for Luke to give him the answer.

"Noah's Shark!" Luke started laughing, filling the room with loud laughs, and then Michael added to that also, and there they were, laughing until they felt tears stinging in their eyes.

A lot of jokes followed after that, and Michael was more than sure this was the best date he had ever been on. Well, that is, besides his first date with Luke, then.

"I love your laugh." Luke smiled, blinking back a few tears. "It makes me happy knowing you are happy." He sighed happily, his hands in Michael's hair. He was gently tugging at it, messing it a little bit.

Michael turned around, and, oh god. He looked hot, so hot. His eyes were a little red, and his lips were red, his green eyes were sparkling, and his cheeks were flushed. It looked like they had just made out, but sadly, they hadn't.

"You're so nice, Luke. I'm glad I met you." He whispered, smiling small, before leaning in to give Luke a kiss on the cheek, and yes, it was just a small gesture, but it made Luke's heart swell, and his cheeks heat up.

"Me too, Mikey. Also because you're probably one of the only people that really show interest in what I have to say on my tours." Luke chuckled.

"There are quite some people on your tours. I bet most of them only come for your looks though." Michael shrugs, showing off the smallest smile.

"Don't you too?" Luke teased, shoving Michael playfully.

"I mean- No. Well like, of course you're- you know, hot, but I do enjoy the actual tours, mister!" Michael stuttered, blushing and pretending to be offended.

"Sure you do. Everything you're thinking about the entire tour is just how good I look, isn't it, Michael?"

"Are we being a little confident there, Hemmings?" Michael pulled up an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.

"It's what you think, darling, not me." He grins, and pulls Michael closer to him.

Michael nodded sarcastically, "Sure, Lukey. Whatever you say."

A big thank you to my friend Skye who wrote this chapter for me. I have the worst writer's block and as always, Skye has rescued me. I love you!! <3
