Luke and the Boy Next Door | Muke

::Chapter 25::

The next day at school Abigail tackled me into a hug. "You better sit with at lunch instead of doing things with your boyfriend in a closet."

I awkwardly laughed, scratching the back of my neck in discomfort. "Yeah... I have to go meet Michael and we'll meet you and Calum in there."

I waved her goodbye and started my lonely trek to my locker. Michael's in majority of my classes except AP Art History. The one class that's also in the complete opposite direction of my locker.

When I got there, I put my combination in before cramming my books I didn't need anymore for the day in there. I turned around expecting Michael to sneak up on me but I was met with him talking to James at his locker across the hallway. I frowned at how he was making Michael uncomfortable. Michael was trying to be nice but whatever James was saying couldn't be pleasant with his body language.

"Mikey!" I yelled rather obnoxiously, grabbing the attention of my boyfriend. He met my gaze and I could see his body instantly relax at the sound of my voice. I made my way over to him, slinging my arm over his shoulders and pulling him flush against my side.

"Hello James." I was trying to be a least somewhat decent, but my words came out in a bitter tone and he caught on.

"I couldn't find you yesterday. I heard you and Ashton called it quits so I was hoping to sneak around with you again to give each other quick hand jobs in a closet, but it looks like you got yourself someone else to mess around with already."

Michael frowned. I glared at James who is now smirking. "Mess around with?" I spat, "Michael's my best friend and he's my boyfriend, not some boy toy like you used to be to me. C'mon Michael lets get some lunch." He gripped my hand and followed me to the cafeteria.

"You said that to James?" Calum and Abigail were staring at me with their jaws practically on the floor. I nodded, shrugging my shoulders before turning to give Michael a small smile. Michael grimaced at the cold food on his tray before reaching over to take some of my fries.

"He's going to make your life a nightmare."

"It's high school, he can go find someone else to suck his tiny dick." Michael giggled next to me, I leaned over to kiss him quickly on the cheek.

"You guys are so disgustingly cute." Calum crinkled his nose at us. Abigail rolled her eyes at her boyfriends words knowing that they do the exact same thing in front of us.

Calum and Abigail chatted awhile more about how cute we were. Michael was a blushing mess under all the compliments and it made my heart flutter at his rosy red cheeks. He may be a confident top in bed, but when it came to people outside he became a stuttering blushing mess. Something I didn't expect to see from his so quickly.

"Enough about me," Michael mumbled, "There's this small music festival about an hour away from here next month... I think we should all go." He looked to me for confirmation and I was already nodding my head yes in excitement.

Then realization sunk in, "None of can drive yet..."

"We can take the train. I'm sure we can convince our parents. Our moms are more excited about us dating now, so maybe that'll persuade them." Michael said hopefully.

"Persuade?" Calum's scoffed, "Your parents are so easy to convince. It's mine and Abigail's we'll have trouble with." She nodded along to his words.

"You saw how my parents were with... Ashton." I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. The food in front of me no longer peaking any interest in being eaten. We had about ten minutes left of lunch and I was determined to plan out this trip. I need to get away and I know Michael needs to as well. I'm just hoping our parents agree on an easy answer to make this simpler on us.

[shameless self promo time] I posted two new stories you should go check out.

Sunset: where Michael sees Luke watching the sunset everyday at the same time.

Shades of Blue[soulmate!au]: where when you meet your soulmate you only see in shades of their eye color(still tweaking this idea so yeah, but basically that concept).
