"Luke, you touch that last slice of pizza and you're a goner."

I glared at Michael carefully, as I slowly reached my hand forwards towards the waiting pizza sitting on the floor between us. We'd lost track some time ago as to who rightfully deserved the last slice. I smile at him in challenge.

"You really want to risk it Luke?" He grinned back.

I pause, forming my mouth into an oh shape before retracting back my hand. I shake my head, nudging the box back towards him, "Oh no, of course not, I think you should have it."

Michael grins thinking that he's won, and starts pulling the box closer towards him.

"Are you sure Michael that you don't want to give the last slice of pizza to Luke?" I say, trying to put on my best ghost sounding voice.

Michael pauses as he looks up and frowns at me.

"You want the slice, Luke? I had no idea" Michael asks, with a raised eyebrow but a smirk is rested firmly on his face. "I guess you could have it..."

He nudged the box back towards me. Moving quickly, I reach forward for the slice. My hand is only centimetres from it when he speaks again.

"You touch it Luke and you're out the pack." Michael stares at me, a teasing to his tone now. He sits back with a shrug, "Being a lone wolf is apparently not much fun you know."

"You know I thought only Calum gets to decide that." I look up and roll my eyes at him.

"Alright then, I have a better idea." Michael grins, he gets up and leaves the room. I wonder what he's gone to get? I sit in silence for a few moments listening to the sounds. There's a rattle and a clank. I hear a loud thud and a small muttering. I can't sense anything through the bond, for some reason a wave of panic goes through me.

"Michael, you okay?"

"Yep!" He grins, he has an object in his hand but he keeps it hidden.

I take a sigh of relief as he sits across from me. I watch in curiosity as he turns the pizza towards him, and brings the knife down, slicing the last piece straight in the middle so it's dead even.

"We couldn't have done that to start with?" I laugh at him.

"No way!" Michael shakes his head. "I had to make sure you were serious before giving you half my slice."

"Your slice? I thought we'd decided it was mine." I grin at him.

Michael shakes his head, pushing the other half back at me. "Shut up and eat your pizza."

I nodded and took my slice and devoured it happily, it had started to get a little cold while we'd been arguing but it was still good.

Michael and I had ordered pizza, because neither of us could be bothered cooking anything. Michael's parents were still away until later in the afternoon, so we couldn't be lazy and ask them to make us anything. So, pizza had been the best option.

Ashton and Calum had both left quite early today, both claiming that they had somewhere else to be.

A while ago being left alone with Michael like this would've scared me, but it didn't bother me at all now.

"So, what are we going to do today?"

"Well I have stuff here but you've barely seen half the cool places in town." Michael grinned, "I was just getting started. The game centre was just the beginning, though I do want to pop by their later. if that's cool with you."
