"Friends" Sequel To "It Started With A Kitten" (Muke Hybrid AU)

Chapter 2: Job Searching And Meeting The Parents

Luke and Michael were laying on the couch in the living room. They had become more content then before and now they couldn't stop cuddling. Luke still had to adjust to Michael's personality but other than that things were going well. The boys found that they actually had a lot in common. They liked the same bands, tones to their personality connected. And everything was falling into place. We'll accept for Luke's feelings. No matter how hard Luke tried the feelings rooted deeper into he subconscious.

He couldn't talk to Ashton about them because he had yet to tell him the situation and Ashton would probably get all stupidly defensive over the younger boy. So Luke had to settle with just keeping them in for now and keeping them bottled. Luke found that things around the house with Michael were the same as before. Comfy and content. Mikey still made an appearance at night when they went to bed sometimes. The small furry body wedging himself into a nook of Luke's body.

Purring softly and pushing against Luke. Luke's heart always exploded when it happened. The little actions always made Luke smile wide, he loved his kitten so much so Luke guessed that meant that he loved Michael too. It scared him to think about it but hell, there's no point in denying it. Anyways today was the day Luke laid down the law with the pink haired boy. He was going broke supporting two older boys in the smaller apartment. Today Michael was going job searching.

------------------------------------------

"Luke? Why the fuck are your shoulders so broad? Like your clothes are huge on me ever since day one! You make me seem so tiny and I am not tiny! I am a tall 19 year old man, and I will not let a 18 year old show me up!" Luke laughed at Michael pouting, the boy was wearing one of Luke's smaller shirts that fit Luke awkwardly so he thought it'd be perfect, he was wrong. He could see his kitten-boy getting all upset and he just wanted to kiss the hell out of him.

He pulled Michael in a hug and the boy slowly relaxed, "Mike you look fine yeah? You should feel lucky, I never let people wear my clothes willingly." Michael laughed lightly in Luke's ear making the boy smile, "Fine, but we're making a pit stop so I can grab some of my clothes and not your giant noodle ones." Luke laughed and said okay. He let Michael finish getting ready, and they headed out.

------------------------------------------

"Where are we?" Luke asked. Michael just smile at him and continued walking. They had passed Luke's work a while back and in a part Luke's never explored before. He noticed that they started to enter a neighborhood. Michael turned around and said, "this is where my family lives, it's time you meet the fam even though I'm almost positive you already have." Luke grew nervous at the last part. They finally rounded a corner and went up a driveway. Luke guessed this was his home.

Luke was practically shaking when Michael knocked on the door. Michael laughed at Luke and wrapped a arm around his waist to reassure him. At that exact moment the door swung open to reveal some very familiar people. There stood Joy Hood, not only Michael's mom but Luke's boss. Luke flushed and awkwardly cleared his throat. She looked in between the two and shrugged ushering them inside. "Mom, who was at the door?" And thundering footsteps shot down the stairs.

"Mikey!!!" Calum screamed, Michael unwrapped his arms for Luke and enveloped Calum. When they pulled apart Michael addressed his family, Mr. Hood entered the room a while ago, "So mom, dad, and fellow pup, this is Luke. My umm-wait-Owner? No wait roommate aha." Luke flushed hard when all eyes turned on him when Michael said 'owner'. Luke could just die. So much for job searching, looks like it's family time.
