it was late. the sun was just about to set, and it seemed like a beautiful painting of an ombré sky.
it was also storming, thunder and all.
and luke was still out there on the porch, smoking a cigarette.
luke was mikey's older sister kennedi's boyfriend, but mikey accidentally grew attached. He swore he didnt mean to.
why would a 19 year go for a 16 year old like himself?
luke was sitting on the porch, and it seems that mikey's sister went to the store or something, so they were all alone.
luke looked deathly calm and it was kind of making mikey nervous.
since their house was on a hill, the porch had a ledge with a small drop.
luke was sitting on that ledge with his back to the door, and mikey was just standing there, admiring him, and the smell of cigarettes.
it was one of his favorite smells, something was so comforting, maybe it was because it reminded him of his dad, but no one really knew.
mikey swore luke had him wrapped around is finger.
"mikey, what are you doing? it's late. you should be in bed." luke's voice sounded sad and it make mikey frown.
"how did you know i was here?" mikey cocked a brow and stepped on the cold cement, only in a pair of small shorts and a TMNT t-shirt.
luke chuckled. "you started humming."
luke scooted closer to the white paneling, patting the spot where he was just sitting.
mikey sat down slowly, and luke even held his hand, and his hip to make sure he didn't fall.
"thanks, lukey." the nickname made luke grin a little. "no problem, kid." luke crushed his cig. "sorry if i was smoking on you."
mikey just shook his head. "its fine, i love the smell anyway."
they sat in silence for awhile, just listening to the rain and thunder mix into a beautiful symphony.
"i love this kind of weather." luke said out of the blue.
"me too, its very beautiful. with all the colors connecting, the thunder just made it even more. . ." mikey trailed off, seeming to have not found the correct word but the scene in the sky was just too beautiful to put into words.
luke bumped mikey's shoulders, "i know what you mean, i mean just look at how the blue turns into purple into pink." luke pointed to where the colors collided. and then he pointed at the trees, "and look at how it just seems to shine through the branches and how the tree just stands out."
there was so much passion in luke's voice, mikey had never seen him so happy. luke was still explaining the sky but mikey just couldn't concentrate.
the way luke's eyes shined in the minimal sunlight, the way his nose looked so detailed and so perfect. when his mouth would turn up so would the corners of his eyes.
when he took a breath, his shoulders broadened and mikey thought it was beautiful. the lip ring luke wore casted shadows along his chin, and his jawline seemed to stand out even more.
"mikey? mikey, are you okay?" luke snapped his fingers infront of mikey's face, catching the younger boy's attention.
"huh? what? what happened?" mikey almost fell but luke caught him, grabbing his thigh and his arm.
"watch yourself," luke said with a chuckle. mikey felt so embarrassed.
there was a boom of lightening and both boys turned, luke still touching his thigh.
the sun had officially gone down, and the rain has seemed to get heavier, and the lightening showed no sign of letting up either.
"why do you love the smell of cigarette smoke? it kills." mikey looked off, the sky suddenly gaining his interest.
"it just remindes me of my dad, i guess." mikey played with his finger nails, something he does when hes nervous.
luke suddenly felt really guilty. "im sorry kid. i forg-"
"its okay luke. death happens all the time. people die everyday." luke wrapped his arm around mikey's shoulders and brought him into a hug.
"do you miss him?" luke turned to mikey, placing his hand back on his thigh.
"a fuck load." mikey's comment made luke laugh, and echo around in the darkness.
the only light was the moonlight and even though it wasn't a lot, luke still looked like a beautiful angel. hell, he was always a beautiful angel.
another comfortable silence settled in and luke grabbed his pack from next to him and lit another.
"can i try one?" mikey asked politely. luke chuckled and shook his head.
"not a chance kid."
his speech was slightly muffled from the cigarette dangling from his lips, and mikey thought it was lovely.
luke took the stick in between his fingers and blew the smoke into the sky.
"you're too beautiful for cancer, sweetpea."
luke said as he took another drag.
mikey was confused, did luke not think he was beautiful?
"and you aren't?" luke scoffed and looked down, playing with a seam that was loose in this pants pocket.
"no."
mikey let out a bitter laugh, "trust me, you are very beautiful."
"thank you mikey. so are you." mikey just smiled in return.
"when do you think ken is gonna get home?" luke just shrugged, "me and her haven't really been talking lately, and if we were, we would be getting into fights."
"do you really love her?"
luke shrugged.
mikey sighed, "come on, it's a yes or no question." luke chuckled at mikey's sassy comment.
"i'm not sure. i also like this boy, it could never happen between me and him though."
"why's that?" mikey said with a whisper. luke squinted at him.
"i think you know why."
"you can be mine for a night." mikey said with a small smile of hope.
luke sighed. "im not gonna cheat on anyone, i can't do that." mikey nodded his head, understanding what luke was saying.
"sorry for asking about it." mikey said with his head hung low.
"hey mikey, i was yours. just in a different way. thank you for even talking to me, people don't like to talk to me." luke got up from his spot on the ledge, kissed mikey's cheek and walked inside.
mikey was still sitting on the ledge, touching where the older boy's lips just were. he looked over and saw that luke left a small piece of paper.
mikey picked it up out of curiosity and saw it was lukes phone number.
mikey got up and went inside, shut the door and locked it. he then went into his bedroom and closed the door. he leaned against the wall and slid down until he reached the floor.
mikey still had a small smile on his face.
he was definitely wrapped around lukes finger.
