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

Chapter 12: Getting Caught And Blown Cover

After Michael and him ate Luke went to style his hair, he really didn't want to go to work but he had to. Michael was sitting in the living room watching what Luke could only guess as KUWTK from the sound of Kourtney's voice. Luke looked in the mirror and groaned why did he have to choose a hair style that actually took work. Luke didn't realize that he was daydreaming till he felt arms wrap around his waist. "Just leave it down today, you look cute with it like that babe." Luke jumped at the sound of Michael's voice by his ear.

Luke turned around in his arms, "I'm not cute, if anything you are kitten-boy." Luke bopped his nose while Michael just rolled his eyes. Instead of making a sassy remark he jut kissed Luke. Keeping it short and simple but it still was filled with what Luke could only hope was love. "Fine. I guess it wouldn't hurt if I just wore a beanie today." Luke put away all of his styling products and Michael pulled him into the living room to cuddle since his hair usually took a while he now had extra time.

Luke sat down on the couch first and Michael crawled on him. The boy wasn't heavy which surprised him because Michael had some muscle on him. But Luke guessed it probably had something to do with the shifter thingy. Luke wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. It felt nice just to lay here with someone. Luke had gotten so accustomed to being alone here in the states that he forgot how good it felt to be with someone. Luke really liked Michael and he was happy to finally hold him and do couple things.

Luke played with Michael's hair humming under his breath. Michael's hands were sitting tucked under Luke's shirt resting on the blondes back. His hands were slightly cold but Luke didn't mind. Luke went to lean down to kiss Michael's head when Michael said, "I'm not trying to embarrass you cos like I totally get it, but next time you might wanna keep it down in the shower or I'll have to join you." Luke froze in his spot. Michael responded to his silence with a light laugh and kiss. Luke slowly kissed back, unsure of what he's supposed to do in the situation.

Michael's hands gripped his hips and squeezed them slightly telling Luke that everything was fine. It was only teasing. Luke kissed back more confidently and relaxed. Their kiss was suddenly broken because of a cell phone. Luke pulled it out of his jeans pockets and saw that Ashton was calling. That's weird usually they only text. As soon a he answered the phone Ashton was speaking.

"Okay Luke, something weird just happened. So like you know my friend Jake? You know my soon to be boyfriend. Well he was over and like Calum freaked and and started like getting angry and shit, it was wild!"

"Um okayy? So why did you call me?" Right when he got done talking Michael decided to ask who he was speaking with. Luke heard a gasp on the other end.

"Oh my god, Lukey boy! You didn't tell me you had someone over! Who is it? Are you guys a thannng? Or are y'all just messing around?? Come on! Give me the dets! I need to know, you don't tell me anything anymoreeeeeeee" Ashton ended his monologue with a whine and trying to imitate a weird American accent, at least that's what Luke thinks. And shit how was Luke going to explain this one, he might as well as just say it.

"Oh right, well if you must know I'm I'm hear with Michael right now. M' getting ready for work."

"Bro, that's a little weird that you're with some dude with the same name as you're cat. Do you have a thing for that name of something? Oh shit I gotta go Calum and Sniffles are being bastards, you know Calum's actually a really big pain in the ass, it's honestly quite the struggle. But anyway I have to work too. I'll text ya later. Love you! Byeeee!" And Luke heard the click saying Ashton hung up.

All Luke could think was how the hell did he always manage to get in these situations and now he had to introduce his best friend/ex boyfriend to his new boyfriend/cat, holy shit this was a mess.
