Luke and Michael laid in the dark hotel room, looking at the pictures on Michael's laptop.

"Look, you look so pretty." Michael said, clicking on a picture where Luke was holding up a starfish and smiling like a little kid. Luke blushed, and snuggled further under Michael's arm.

"Why'd you keep this picture?" Luke asked, pointing to one he had taken. Michael tried to teach Luke how to take pictures from the big camera, but he kept moving it when he would press the button down. The picture was of a seashell Luke saw and it was blurry and awful, but Michael loved it.

"Because, it's cute. Even though you could barely use my camera, you were so happy. It was adorable to try and watch you take pictures." Michael said, and Luke looked up at Michael with so much admiration in his eyes.

"Look how lucky I am." Michael whispered, and Luke looked up, seeing the picture Michael took of Luke sitting on his chest.

Luke had never felt so happy, and he had never looked so happy. He looked at all of the pictures Michael had of him, and he loved them. He absolutely loved them.

"Tell me you love me again." Luke whispered.

"I love you."

"Again."

"I love you."

"One more time.."

"I love you." Michael said, ending in a whisper, kissing the corner of Luke's mouth.

Luke shut the laptop, leaving the room pitch black. Luke laid on his back, pulling Michael on top of him.

He leaned up and kissed Michael lips. Their lips moved softly, nobody deepening the kiss yet.

Luke froze when he heard something outside of the door. The lock beeped, and the door swung open, causing him to sit up, and hide behind Michael.

The lights flipped on.

"Hello?" Michael asked, and two boys came around the corner quickly.

"What the hell are you doing in our room?" The one with curly hair asked.

"You mean our room?" Michael said, showing them their key.

"Wow.." The dark haired boy groaned, and Luke nervously bit on his nail.

"Well. Let's go down to the front and figure this out." Michael said, and stood up.

"I'll stay here." Luke whispered.

"Me too." The dark haired boy said.

Once the two left, Luke looked over at him. "I'm Luke." He said, and lightly smiled at the boy.

"I'm Calum." The kiwi boy said, and sat on the opposite bed. "I'm sorry if me and Ashton interrupted something. They just gave us the key to this room, and we weren't exactly expecting this." Calum laughed, and Luke blushed.

"Nothing was happening. We were just about to sleep." Luke said, and Calum nodded.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Calum asked curiously, and Luke smiled, and nodded.

"What about Ashton? Is he yours?" Luke asked, and Calum smiled and nodded too.

"How long have you guys been together?" Luke asked, feeling like he could get some advice from Calum.

"Tomorrow would make a year." Calum said, and Luke smiled.

"You love him?" The blonde boy asked, and Calum nodded pridefully.

"Was it scary for you when you first knew you loved him?" Luke asked, and bit on his nail.

"Definitely, but I knew I couldn't be cautious. I had to trust that he would love me just as much. I didn't hesitate to show him I love him." Calum said, and Luke smiled just as the door opened.

"Okay, either we head home now, or we have to share this room. It's the only one left." Michael said, and Luke shrugged.

"Whatever you wanna do.." Luke said. "I would say we could share, but it's their anniversary tomorrow, so we can go." The blonde boy continued.

He got up, and went over to Calum, hugging him. Calum hugged Luke back tightly. "Don't be scared to love him." Calum whispered, causing Luke to smile.

"Maybe one day me and Michael will have a one year anniversary." Luke said softly.

"That's the way to think. Here's my phone number. Text if you need anything, Luke." Calum said, and wrote it down on the notepad that was sitting on the desk.

"I will. Bye." Luke said, noticing Michael's laptop was all packed up.

"We were gone for five minutes and you guys already made it to a hugging level." Michael said, and Luke laughed.

"Calum is very nice."
