Michael replayed the moments of this morning. His mother telling him it was time for his new partner. It was so frightening, Michael was almost at the permanent age!

Michael finally found himself in the real world again. The plain white room was only bright and quiet. It could be hours before they gave him his new partner.

These were the only scientists now, but they were very terrifying. But maybe, that was just michael.

After what felt like hours(and could've been), they finally came in with a boy. He was probably a year younger, too. It didn't bother Michael at all.

"Okay. You guys are free to go."

We obeyed, leaving the room, then the building.

"What's your name?"
"Luke. Luke hemmings. Yours?"
"Michael Clifford."
"Well I'm going home, you coming?"

"Yeah."

-

Turns out, Luke Hemmings did live alone, his mother passed away, but Luke would never tell anyone that. It's weakness.

"Well, this is it. This is my room." Luke said vaguely.

Michael sighed softly, feeling his eyes try to close.

"H-hey can I take a na-"

Michael was cut off by falling into consciousness. He thought he'd hit the floor, but he had felt two arms instead.

-

Michael's eyes fluttered open many hours into the night, while Luke had watched Michael. He promised himself he'd be better this time.

"It's rude to stare."

It startled Luke so much, he almost hugged Michael.

"Well I... Are you hungry?"
"Not really..."
"Oh cone on, of course you are!"
"Fine."
Michael ate with Luke, trying to make him happy. It was the least he could do. Luke just couldn't know yet.
