Luke woke up to the bed shifting. He mumbled incoherently and went to turn to cuddle Michael. But for some reason the boy wasn't there, Luke whined and tried to get up to find him. But all of the sudden Luke felt a light weight settle on his back. His eye peeked open, there laying on his back was Michael in his tiny kitten form. He was purring slightly when Luke scooped him up. It had been a while since he has seen the kitten. He scratched behind his ears while Luke placed him in the crook of his neck.

He felt the warmth from Mikey on his neck while he heard Mikey purring in his ear. This was a good moment in their hectic life, lately Ashton has been having problems with Calum and his boyfriend, Michael was trying to find a job, and Luke was fighting for the promotion. To say the least Luke was getting close to exploding. But for some reason having his kitten laying on him and his purrs were taking that constant stress away. Luke's hands were running over Mikey's soft fur.

Luke kinda missed the days where everything in his life was much simpler, but at the same time he didn't. Luke was still fighting with his mind on the whole 'I love you' thing. Luke has almost said it multiple times, he's always had to play it off when he did slip up. Luke was quite honestly getting sick of having to hide it. Luke's fingers rubbed under Mikey's chin even though he had stopped purring a while ago. Luke kissed his head gently, and started to hum random songs.

Luke tried to go back to sleep but he couldn't. He thoughts were filled with Michael. How the future would be, Michael meeting Luke's family. Luke thought of that mostly, he could imagine having to convince Michael to get on a plane and fly to Luke's home. How Michael would act on the plane and when they finally landed how welcoming his family would be to him. Luke continues to let his mind roam as he absentmindedly cuddled closer to the tiny kitten.

Before Luke knew it he had scooped Michael into his hands waking the boy. Luke didn't register the words he had said until Michael's small eyes were staring at him sleepily and with surprise. When Mikey's green eyes slowly blinked at him like he couldn't believe his eyes is when he realized, Luke just told him that he loved him.
