Luke finally willed himself out if bed, Michael has had to sleep in the couch while in human form. Luke couldn't risk anything. Luke knew that Michael was super hot and he did not want anything to happen while the boys were asleep. But Luke fully welcomed Mikey in his bed. The only sanity he has is to call human form Michael and kitten form Mikey. It had only been two days and Luke felt like he was going insane. It's so not fair that Michael gets to know all of Luke's pet peeves and quirks already while Luke's still learning his.

I mean, sure Michael was just as grumpy and hungry as when he's in kitten form. Always trying to steal Luke's food and being rude to him in the early mornings but do you think Luke stands for that? Pshh no, he set the boy right in his place. He had no time to let the boy run all over him. All he had to say was 'Don't make me kick you out, cos I will' and Michael shut up and stopped what he was doing. Don't get him wrong he loved having someone to share his apartment with but Luke had grown so used to being alone except for the fluff ball version of Michael.

Today was no different, Luke padded out into the living room to check on his Mikey, wait no he means Michael, not his but just Michael. The boy was sleeping soundly, little puffs of air escaping his lips. His unclothed chest peaking out from under the covers that Luke had given him. Luke felt something stir in him that he hadn't felt in a long time. Watching Michael sleep soundly and his face so relaxed and with no trace of tension warmed Luke's chest. He knew the boys story from when the exchanged them.

The horrible actions of Michael's parents. Luke vowed that Michael would never feel that again. Luke scooted closer towards the boy and pressed a kiss to his forehead, Luke couldn't help his actions. He didn't want to feel these things towards the boy but he honestly couldn't help it. He pulled back and went into the kitchen to make them breakfast. He found out that Michael turns into a total asshole in the morning if he doesn't eat first. He settled on just some eggs and toast.

When he was finished he plated the food and decided he'd go wake the sleeping boy up. Yesterday he found out that you do NOT startle the boy awake, there's a bruise on Luke's ribs to prove that. So Luke went with a nicer approach. He slowly ran his hands through Michael's hair and crawled onto the couch with him. He cuddled up next to Michael and slowly started humming. It felt nice to lay there and Luke forgot what he was doing until his tummy rumbled.
He softly mumbled Michael's name into his ear and started to rub up his arm and small circles on his back.

When moving his hand from Michael's hair he heard a soft whine, Michael was awake. Luke stopped his movements and sighed, "Well I guess you don't want breakfast then." When he went to move away Michael's arms enveloped Luke into a cuddle once again. "Noooo, just lie with me for a little bit, 'm not even that hungry" and as if in cue the boys stomach grumbled loudly.

Luke could only sigh, he wished he could lay in Michael's arms all day. It was nice and comforting, he wished he felt this safe when he was younger. When he felt out of place. He felt more at home with Michael then Ashton and that's saying something. He knew he was developing a crush on the boy and he honestly really did not want that. So he pulled away from Michael to go eat his breakfast. Michael only joining him a few moments later and a silence settling over them.
