Disconnected ♡ muke

- chapter fifteen -

"I can't believe you got me to stay the night."

Michael was dressed in Luke's pajama bottoms and one of his band shirts curled under a pile of blankets with Luke's body providing him heat as well.

Luke turned from the TV to his friend furrowing his eyebrows.

"You didn't have to come in you know. I'd still like you if you didn't."

Luke was afraid that way he reacted the night he got drunk and almost ruined everything, would leave an impression on Michael. That he'd think Luke had any expectations for whatever their relationship should be.

"No, no." Michael quickly said. As many times before, he had worded his thoughts incorrectly. "It's just that I don't really date. Never had. And whenever I would picture myself dating I wouldn't really stay the night at someone's house after the second date."

"Then why did you?"

Michael shrugged and smiled at Luke. "It felt right. I didn't want the night to end, I definitely didn't want to say goodbye to you."

The quiet confession made Luke smile.

"It felt right to kiss you as well. You feel right in my life."

The two boys just stared at each other with smiles on their faces and adoration in their eyes.

This time, without asking or being asked Luke pressed his lips against Michael's.

The truth was, that felt right for Luke too. It wasn't his plan to, but they ended up making out for a while.

Luke knew he had to control himself and what he wanted and be patient. Like Michael was patient with him when they were reading together, he could've read faster but he didn't. That was Luke's plan with Michael too.

"I kind of wish I wouldn't take you to see Ryan today and we could just kiss the entire afternoon instead."

Luke's eyes slowly opened and he offered Michael a lazy, content smile. "Why didn't you?"

"Mm... Remember when I told you I could help you out with a summer job?"

He nodded and climbed up so his chest was pressed with Michael's, their noses almost touching. Michael, who was leaning against the pillows brought his hand around Luke and held him in place.

"Ryan actually co-owns a recording company and recently they've started with this program. They're searching for young talents from all over the country and offer them a training of some sorts. So they help either songwriters, singers or other people who want to work in the industry. I told him you'll attend music school in hope of being a guitar technician one day and he told me I should bring you to his café."

"Michael.."

"You get paid to be there so it's like extra cool."

"You're too good for me you know that?"

Michael laughed and pressed a kiss to Luke's forehead.

"Don't praise me yet. He seemed to like you but he'll call with his decision."

There were a lot of doubts in Luke's head including him telling his mum about it. He pushed all that aside for now and decided to enjoy the rest of his evening with Michael.

He made himself comfortable against Michael's chest and continued to scroll through the programs.

"Stop," Michael whispered as they stumbled on a program he seemed to find interesting.

"I love this movie."

"What's it called?" Luke asked, he fixed his glasses on his nose and put the volume up a bit.

"Amélie."

Michael didn't say another word as the characters started to talk. The story seemed to be easy going but after a while of trying to keep up Luke gave up and nuzzled his face in Michael's chest.

"If you're bored we can watch something else." Michael offered.

Luke sighed. "I would love to watch it. I want to watch all of your favorite films and listen to all of your favorite songs. It's just this is in French and I can't keep up with subtitles."

"Oh fuck Luke, I'm so sorry."

"No, please don't apologize. You can't just rethink every situation because I'm a bit different."

Michael was quiet for a bit before he took the controller out of Luke's hand. Luckily, Luke had the same TV controller so he knew what buttons to press. He stopped the movie and replayed it from the beginning.

"You're a special kind of different." He said before starting to quietly explain what was happening on the TV.
