Luke happily skipped into his and Michael's shared room. It was almost time for bed, and he wanted cuddles.

"Mike-" Luke stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Michael crying with his head in his hands. The blonde boy didn't know what to do. He was always the one to cry. He's never seen Michael cry before.

"Mikey?" Luke whimpered, barely audible.

He slowly shut the door, and Michael looked up, meeting Luke's blue eyes with his red ones.

"Please don't cry. I don't know what to do. Usually you're making me feel better. You've never cried before." Luke said, and ran over, sitting next to Michael.

"Luke, my aunt died." Michael whispered, so Luke frowned. "Sure we weren't really that close, but it sucks to know she's gone."

"I'm gonna make you feel better." Luke said, and pulled over a fuzzy blanket. He wrapped it around Michael's shoulders, and then kissed his nose.

Michael sat up on the bed next to Luke, looking at the flatscreen in front of them. Luke turned on Friends, and dimmed the lights.

He ran over and hopped onto the bed, scared that something would grab his foot if he got too close.

Michael laughed at him.

Luke sat beside Michael, and the black haired boy wrapped part of the blanket around Luke.

"Lay down." Luke whispered, so Michael laid between Luke's legs with his head on his chest.

Luke smiled down at him, and ran his hands through Michael's soft hair. He was so focused on playing with Michael's hair that he didn't even notice he started to cry again.

Luke gasped once he noticed, and pulled Michael up a little, letting him lay on his shoulder. Luke placed his hand on Michael's cheek, and the other one was on the back of his head.

"Michael, it's okay. She's in a better place now, so you have to be happy for her. She would want you to be happy." Luke whispered, but that didn't seem to help.

"I hate seeing you like this.." Luke whispered, running his hand through the back of Michael's hair. He laid his head on top of Michael's.

"I love you.." Michael whispered after a few minutes of silence.

Luke looked down at him, and smiled. "I love you, too."

"I'm glad I have you because there's absolutely no way I can look at you and feel upset. You're an angel. You make me so happy." Michael whispered, causing Luke to smile even more.

Luke sat on Michael's lap, and placed their foreheads together. Luke smiled, and kissed Michael's nose.

"I don't get it. You are a grown man, but you are still the most adorable thing in the world. How did I get so lucky?" Michael asked, causing Luke to blush.

"Hey, stop it, I'm supposed to be making you feel better." Luke pouted.

"Trust me, there's not much you have to do. All I wanna do is see you smile."
