I smiled as I walked over to Michael who was sat on the couch playing video games.

I sat beside him, and laid my head on his shoulder. "Mikey..." I whispered, and he just hummed in response. I scooted around, and wrapped my arms and legs around his torso.

"Michaelll..." I hummed, and nuzzled my nose into his shoulder. I got no response that time.

I sighed, and looked up at him, seeing how concentrated he was on the game.

"Pay attention to me.." I whispered, and straddled his lap, sitting with my arms and legs still wrapped around him.

"Luke, you almost caused me to die..." He groaned, and I snuggled my face into his neck. "So what?" I mumbled, pushing one of his arms down so he dropped the controller.

"Luke!" He groaned, and leaned down, picking it up. I huffed as he continued to ignore me.

"Michael, I want you to pay attention to me. Not the Xbox.." I whined, and he groaned. I know he tends to get serious about video games but this is the third day in a row when he's come home from work, and not spent time with me. I'm his boyfriend of three years. I'd like to spend time with him.

"Please..." I whispered, and sat up, looking into his eyes, but he moved his head to the side, looking around me.

I looked down, and let my pleading smile fall. I laid back down on his shoulder and let him enjoy his time. God knows he would be miserable if he had to spend it with me.

About twenty minutes passed, and he finally turned it off. "Let me up.." He whispered, and I scooted off of him, letting him stand up. He walked out of the room, and I just continued to sit on the couch.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I heard after a few minutes. I uncrossed my arms, and looked up at him. "What? Nothing. Let's go to bed." I said, and stood up, reaching out to grab his hand.

He walked up the stairs behind me, and crawled in the bed beside me.

I pulled the blankets over me, and faced away from him. "Luke? What are you doing? Usually this is the time that you ask a random question, or tell some lame but adorable joke." He said, and I shook my head.

"I know I get annoying Michael, and I'm sorry for bothering you all the time, it's just, I've never had someone who loved me in such a way, and I want to be able to spend all the time I have with you." I whispered, and turned to him.

"This is about earlier." He whispered, and sat up.

"I love you, Luke, and you know that. You're not annoying. You're adorable. I know I don't show it very well, but I love it when you kiss me and hug me, even when I don't pay attention." He whispered, and I lightly smiled as he scooted over to me.
