Luke was glad when the guy finished the table, couch, and dresser. All that was left was the bed.

"Alright, I'm almost done, can you help me put the mattresses on the bed frame?" He asked Luke.

Luke silently walked over, and helped him put down the first one. He pushed up his sleeves and was about to get the second one. They picked it up, and as they slid it on the bed, the guy looked up at Luke.

"A king size bed all to yourself?" He asked, and Luke nodded. "My boyfriends in Australia." Luke whispered, becoming uncomfortable

"Well, don't you ever get lonely?" The guy said, stepping closer to Luke.

"Yeah, but-"

The guy pushed Luke's head to the side, and planted his lips on Luke's neck.

Luke sighed, missing that feeling so much, but he wasn't Michael. Luke immediately shot his eyes open, and pushed the guy back.

"Cmon, baby. You need someone here with you to make you feel good, don't you? Take care of you?" The guy said, and took Luke's shoulders, making him sit on the bed.

"No. No I don't. Especially not you. Now get out." Luke said, and stood up, pushing the guy towards the door.

"I won't get mad at you for talking to me that way, only because you have a pretty mouth. You should put it to good use." The guy said, and Luke's face turned angry.

"Get out! That's creepy!" Luke yelled, and pushed him all the way to the door. Once the guy was out, and Luke's door was locked, he took a breath.

"I'm going to ikea next time."

Luke had two weeks until college started, and the last thing he wanted to do was leave the house.

"I wanna make out with you right now." Luke said as soon as Michael answered the FaceTime call. "Like really badly. Can you just fly here, kiss me, and leave? I mean, if you stay that would be even better but-"

"Sounds like somebody's lonely." Michael laughed, and Luke pouted. Luke laid down, and Michael frowned.

"Seven more weeks until I get to see you." Michael said, and Luke lightly smiled. He felt so sad without Michael beside him.

"I love you." Luke said after a small moment of comfortable silence.

"I love you too, baby."

"I love it when you call me baby." Luke whispered, pulling the blankets up to his shoulder. He turned on his side, and Michael was smiling at him.

"You're so beautiful.." He whispered, making Luke blush, and hide his face in the pillow.

"Guess what I bought today. You're gonna laugh at me." Luke said, and sat up.

"What?" Michael asked, and Luke laughed, pulling over the item. "It's a boyfriend pillow. Since I don't have you, I have to rely on it to hold me." Luke giggled, and Michael did laugh at him. Michael thought Luke was so adorable.

"You're so cute I can't stand it." Michael groaned, causing Luke to blush, and laugh at him. "I really, really need you here." Michael said, and Luke smiled at him, watching as Michael ran his hands over his face.

"Hey? Can you FaceTime me tomorrow at 3:00- oh wait, hold on..." Michael said, and was silent for a second. He was clearly thinking about something.

"FaceTime me tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. Your 10:00 is my 3:00, and I know it's an awkward time for a date, but-"

"A date?" Luke asked, and smiled.

"Yeah. I'm just gonna stay here and cook something though, but I'll light a candle and we'll call it a date." Michael said, and Luke laughed.

"Okay. I'll call you tomorrow. It's really late here, and I'm tired. I love you." Luke whispered, and Michael smiled.

"I love you too."
