"But now that I'm broken. And now that you know it"

Michael woke the next day, sliding his fluffy socks on with a sigh.
He didn't feel anything like the thought he would.

Everything just felt grey.

He called Luke over that night, though he wasn't crying this time.
"Hi?" Luke's voice asked expectantly.

"H-hi." Michael replied.

"I'm coming." Luke assured him and hung up the phone.

He put on his shoes and went over, letting himself into Michaels room.

"Mikey? Why do you look so miserable?"

Michael shrugged sadly.

Luke pulled Michaels hands and made the shorter boy stand up against him. He found Michaels size adorable.

"Smile." He said simply but it didn't change a muscle in Michaels face.

Luke started to stretch Michaels mouth into a wide smile and michael pulled away with a giggle.

"There it is!" He laughed and hugged Michael close. He felt Michaels heart pick up slightly.

"How are you baby?" Luke mumbled into his hair.

"I-I'm okay." Michael said and let his arms hang limply at his sides.

"Good." Luke kissed his cheek.

Michael blushed and hid it with his sweater paws. "Stop looking at meee!"

"Why would I Wanna do that?" Luke raised an eyebrow.
Michael didn't say anything so Luke grabbed him and flung him on the bed, crawling on top of him to tickle him more.

Michael burst into fits of cute giggles and grabbed Luke's shoulders, rolling them over so that he was on top.

He leant down and kissed Luke on the lips.
"Thank you."

"Don't say thank you babe, it's basically my job." Luke smiled and pulled Michael down for another kiss.

Michael played with his sleeves nervously. He'd purposely worn a long sleeved shirt today, he didn't wanna remind Luke of yesterday.

He didn't wanna remind himself of yesterday.

Michael let out a teary smile as he pulled Luke to lie down next to him and nuzzled his head into Luke's chest.
"T-Thankyou."

"I love you." Luke smiled.
"I love you too." Michael looked up at Luke with sparkly eyes.

He pressed his lips to Luke's jaw softly and breathed out.
"Stay?"

"I can't." Luke shook his head.

"Luke I-"

"I love you Mikey but I can't." Luke looked down. "I'm sorry."

Michael nodded and leaned up to kiss Luke one last time before he watched the boy dash out his room.

He let out a loud sigh and flopped back onto the bed. He heard a small crinkly noise and raised an eyebrow as he picked up a small folded piece of paper.

His eyes read over the words and he felt his heart stop.
