Chapter Nine || Bubblegum

Michael scattered around his clustered and empty house, throwing away wrappers and vacuuming dusty floors. He wanted to make a good impression on Luke, and he sure as hell didn't want Luke to think he's lazy.

Which he is very lazy. But he's not ready for Luke to know yet. He'll just keep it between him and his mother.

The doorbell rings and Michael quickly turns off the vacuum, checking over the apartment once more. For the most part, it was clean, and that pleased Michael.

"Sorry I'm late. I had made plans with my friend but cancelled because I wanted to hang out with you more," Luke smiled and Michael let him inside. The friend Luke was actually talking about was Emma. He cancelled on her because she wanted to come over.

"You cancelled on your friend for me? I feel flattered," Michael put a hand over his heart and scoffed. "What scary movies did you bring?"

"I brought Sinister and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's a classic," Luke said and set the movies down on the coffee table. "Want to start now?"

Michael eagerly nodded his head and the two of them settled on watching Texas Chainsaw first. It was more suspenseful than scary, and it would ease Michael into the horror film world. It would also get him ready for Sinister, a newer movie.

Luke made himself comfortable on the couch while Michael went to the kitchen to fix popcorn, get sodas, and a bag of chips for them to share.

"I'm excited," Michael squealed and pressed play for the movie once he was situated next to Luke on the opposite side of the couch.

Now he's basically on Luke's lap. The girl is getting chased in a factory and Michael is biting his nails, holding on to Luke for protection. "Is she gonna live?" he kept on asking. He's been doing this the whole movie.

Michael jumped and held Luke tighter, hiding his face in Luke's shirt. That's when the blonde got a whiff of how Michael smelt. He smelt like something... Bubblegum, Luke decided. Michael smelt like bubblegum.

After the movie, Michael didn't even want to watch Sinister. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep well. I'll have to keep the hallway light on and put Ariana Grande on... will you stay for a little bit longer? Just until I feel less scared?" Michael begged Luke.

"Of course, Mikey. Go get pajamas on and meet me back out here. Do you have hot chocolate I can make for us?"

"Thank you thank you! And yes! It's in the cabinet by the refrigerator. Mugs are in the dishwasher! Thank yoooouuu!" Michael skipped to his room to get changed. Meanwhile, Luke
prepared two hot chocolates (with marshmallows. Those are important).

Michael came out a minute later. Luke's eyes bulged and his knees buckled, but he was careful enough not to spill the drinks.

"I... I like your gown. A lot," Luke nervously said and handed a mug to Michael.

"Thanks!" Michael giggled and took a sip of the hot chocolate. Luke couldn't tear his eyes from the lilac, silk and lace nightgown Michael was wearing. He looked so damn hot.

"Uh... Uhm– wanna watch 51st Dates? I saw it in your movie cabinet," Luke blushed and looked away.

"I love that movie! Let me get it out," and Michael went over to get the disk. Luke watched him bend over, his ass almost showing. Sadly, Michael stood back up to put it in the DVD player.

Luke sat back down on the couch, thinking about all the dirty things Michael could be doing with Luke, one thought in particular; Michael stripping. But he quickly pushed the idea away and payed attention to the movie.

There were points where Michael was laughing but he would also cry as well. It reminded Luke of a girl's emotions, only Michael wasn't a girl. He was simply Michael, and that's what Luke liked.

The time came when Luke had to leave and he wasn't too happy about it.

"Tonight was great! Only... we shouldn't have watched a horror movie. Bad idea. Anyways, it was so much fun hanging out with you! We should totally do it more often," Michael smiled and stood in the doorway.

"Next time we can do it at my place?" Luke wondered. Michael smiled and nodded. Then the two sat in a 10 second span of complete and awkward silence.

"I'll see you at work, Luke," Michael gave a small giggle and kissed Luke on the cheek, before shutting the door completely.

AN- okay, it might be confusing because Morgan kinda did something with the whole Emma thing. Emma made plans to see Luke but Luke also made plans with Michael that same night. So obviously he was gonna bail on Emma and hang out with Michael *duh* that's just if you were confused :)

Morgan and I are again, writing more stories together because our minds won't stop creating new ideas! And so many people are RiMo AF, it's ridiculous xD
