15 - "no problem doll"

15 | Kai

I walk down the corridor my head low after the awkward encounter in Luke's room, a tear runs down my face as embarrassment creeps up on me. I hear footsteps behind me and panic slightly when they slow next to me.

"Baby?"

I shake my head refusing to look up, my lips are pouted as I bring a hand up to wipe away the tears that's when he notices them. He walks in front of me and stops, trying to get me to stop walking. He blocks off every possible route of escape for me.

"Kai." He says sternly placing two fingers beneath my chin to lift it,

When I make eye contact with him everything becomes real. I really just told Luke I have erotic fantasies in my head about him, I told him something that I should have taken to my grave.

His hand moves to my cheek where he wipes away the tears, "Don't cry doll."

I jerk my head out and away from his grasp, embarrassed at myself for reacting so stupidly. He sighs and pulls me into his chest, it feels weird. How should a hug between two people who hate each other feel? Comforting?

When he leaves go he brushes the hair out of my face, his eyes finally connecting with mine.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of baby girl. We all have thoughts like that and if yours happen to be about me then so be it. Fuck I'm honoured." He laughs out in reassurance and sure enough I'm laughing slightly to myself,

We stand embracing each other in the middle of the hall as I silently cry into his chest. He presses a soft kiss to my crown as we pull away. I take a step away from him and he does the same, realising just how weird the situation is.

"Well, I need to get back to my dorm." I say pulling at the sleeves of my jacket,

"You still don't have a key for your dorm. I think Ashton and Finley were coming to get us for band practise." Luke points out scratching his neck slightly his hair now flopping down onto his forehead slightly considering he didn't have the chance to do it before I left,

I shake my head, "Shit." I mumble, "Yeah I'll go down to the office and get a temporary one until I get into the room."

Luke nods his face suddenly and unexpectedly lighting up.

"I'll go with you." He smiles making his way back towards his room,

He grabs my arms and takes me with him.

"You don't have to." I say shyly,

He just shakes his head and remains quiet as he continues to pull me along with him.

"Luke?"

"What?"

"Thank you."

"No problem doll."

I stand by the office desk wiggling my fingers and watching a little old lady rummage through keys, her hands shaking as she does so. She pulled out one with a wide and beautiful smile on her face.

At this second Luke appears beside me with what seemed to be maybe his sixth cup of coffee this morning. I eye the cup suspiciously allowing my gaze to creep up to his face yet he only sends me an enthusiastic smile. Talk about confusing.

This has to be the nicest Luke's ever been to me outside a dorm room, he look genuinely happy to be here drinking an excessive amount of coffee waiting for the old lady to find the spare key. Once she finds it her head pops back up to eye level with me, Luke jumps slightly at the old ladies surprising amount of speed. A sliver of coffee dripping down his chin, he makes a move to wipe it with the sleeve of his flannel shirt.

"Here you go darling." She says sweetly dangling the small golden key over the desk and I grasp it in my hands before shoving it in my neck pocket,

"Thank you."

She nods at me before sitting back down in her little blue seat, I turn around and tug softly at Luke's flannel. He turns around and once his eyes meet mine he pulls the coffee from his lips, sending me a blinding smile. I return the smile as we both walk towards my room in silence. Well until Luke decides to break it.

"What did you end up choosing?" He asks, his dangers dancing around the rim of the cup,

I look up at him, my eyebrows raising slightly on my fore head as I look at him in utter confusion. Luke quickly watches onto the confused look as he continues, elaborating.

"Your major, I mean."

"Performing arts." I say hesitantly and a smile creeps onto his face as I fail to hold back a small giggle,

"It's amazing." He smiles allowing his gaze to drift to his coffee, "The assignments are a pain but overall it's just really fun."

"Do you struggle with the assignments?" I ask twirling the keys around my finger,

I realise that we have now reached my room and I open the door.

"Not really finished most of the assignments for the year least week." He says casually pulling his flannel tighter around him,

I furrow my eyebrows, he's finished them? We're only six weeks into the whole year.

"Really?" He nods stepping into the room, "That's impressive."

He chuckles lowly shrugging his shoulder as I pull my jacket off of my shoulders. My shirt is now creased and one of my socks is missing.

"It's not really, just determination." He grumbles flopping down on the sofa,

I pulled out two small cans of cola from the small fridge, as the door floats shut I hear small snore and I realise.

Although Luke had drank over five cups of coffee he's still managed to fall asleep on my all but comfortable sofa.
