At the moment, Luke hated everything and everyone.

The only reason he even said yes to coming to this thing was Calum.

The world had its ways to turn against Luke. When his best friend called an hour prior to their agreed meeting time to cancel on him he was mad. But he drove half of the country back to where he used to live and he knew his mum would be upset if he'd come home any earlier than midnight.

He still couldn't understand how it's been ten years from his graduation already.

Luke wasn't sure why people had the need to remind themselves of the past. Maybe they hated living their miserable lives so the prom queen and king of their generation decided to relive the only moment they've felt at least slightly successful.

It's was Luke's déformation professionnelle to make up everyone's back story in his mind. As a psychiatrist, he heard them all.

Not that he had anything to brag about.

In ten years he achieved what? Failed marriage? The doctorate that had cost him more than he'll probably get back from it. Losing contact with most of his friends?

What Luke was proud of was his small collection of pets that lived with him in Brisbane.

He preferred the city to Sydney mostly because he didn't know anyone there.

Except for Calum who had annoyingly fallen for his neighbor on Luke's moving in party.

Calum's whole family came to Sydney for the occasion as well but when his youngest broke his leg he decided to not come.

That's how Luke ended up sitting in the corner of the room with a punch in his hand. The taste of the alcohol in it was a lot stronger than he remembered.

He tried not to cringe too much when all the cheerleaders waved to him.

Because ten years later he was still as gay as they come.

He was sipping on his drink, waiting for the speeches to start so he could sneak away without anyone noticing.

"You still carry straws with you wherever you go?"

Luke choked on the way too sugary drink and turned to his left to see Michael sitting three seats away.

His Mikey.

"What are you doing here?"

Michael laughed and yes, ten years older he still looked as perfect to Luke as he did before.

"Well, I've bumped into the president of our class a few weeks back and she decided on inviting me. Even when I haven't finished school here she said you'd be happy to see me."

Seeing Michael again brought back a lot of memories.

"Want to get away from here?"

All the memories from ten years back were clearer to Luke than what happened after that.

He wasn't good at saying no to Michael so he drove him to the McDonalds they used to always go to. In the car they'd spend their time while skipping class, sometimes talking sometimes kissing.

The memories became less of a reality and more of a dream when Michael invited him out for a drink.

Or ten.

Luke was almost sure it was a dream when they've made their way into something he believed Michael called his apartment.

How they've undressed each other and did all the things they've talked about on the roof of Michael's house.

The house Luke would pass every day on his way to school. The house that was empty after Michael had moved away, left him with a broken heart.

When Luke woke up he was sure it was all a dream.

But there was a tattooed arm placed over his waist. The warm skin he knew belonged to Michael and it burned wherever he was touching him.

"What are you thinking about?"

A deep, groggy morning voice asked and for a moment Luke's heart stopped.

"Was this real?"

It was like Michael knew Luke wouldn't turn against him so he climbed over the man to face him.

"Do you want it to be?"

"When are you leaving?"

Luke knew he was ruining the mood, but he had to ask. He owed at least that to himself.

"I'm not. I'm back for good."

"But I've moved.."

"Shh." Michael shushed him and placed his finger over his mouth. "I can live with that. Everything Is better than being oceans away from you."

And yes, Luke could live with that as well.
