What Michael missed when they were on tour were the rainy nights he could spend in his room.

There was nothing more perfect than the echo of the sound of raindrops. That and the smell of the washing detergent his mother used to wash his sheets were his favorite combination that always reminded him of home. Michael felt safe and content under the blankets.

Hotels unfortunately weren't anything alike his room in Sydney. But whenever possible Michael opened the balcony door wide open so he could hear the mesmerizing sound of rain more clearly.

It was summer in Europe and that meant summer storms. As frightening as it was to some people, Michael absolutely loved the lighting.

It was well over midnight but yet he still was trying to stay awake to witness the beauty that nature has created. He was almost lulled to sleep by it when he heard his door open.

Michael knew it was Luke. Luke always got the spare room key to Michael's room but he only used it when he couldn't sleep.

Instead of climbing in the bed behind Michael, where there was plenty of space. Luke covered Michael's view of the city he was observing through the window.

"I'm pretty sure that's like porn to you Clifford," Luke whispered and pushed Michael back so he was able to snuggle under the covers on the part of the bed that Michael already warmed up.

Michael lifted his hand so Luke's wide shoulders could fit in his hold before answering. "We've watch porn together before. You know what I like."

Luke was quiet and only scooted closer to his best friend, pressing his back against Michael's chest.

Michael hugged him and placed his head higher on the pillow. That way he was still able to observe the now calming storm.

His warm, minty breath was hitting the nape of Luke's neck causing the younger man shiver.

"Isn't this romantic?" Luke joked and Michael pinched the flesh of his tummy to make him shut up.

"If you came here to be annoying you can just leave."

Luke closed his eyes and breathed in the smell of familiar deodorant his best friend wore since they were in school.

"I came to cuddle and stuff."

"Stuff, huh?" Michael teased.

"Shut up," Luke mumbled refusing to turn around even when Michael was trying to make him.

Michael only took that as a challenge and gently bit Luke's ear making him whine.

"Such a baby." He teased before he kissed the nape of Luke's neck. Michael barely touched his overheated skin yet Luke's body instantly reacted to his touch.

Michael left a trail of kisses from Luke's shoulder, up to his neck and cheeks.

"Mikey." Luke breathed out.

"Turn around you fool." Michael whispered and pliantly, Luke let his bandmate to turn him around.

Immediately, their lips found their way together.

It wasn't sloppy and passionate. Their kissing was slow and intentional.

When their lips spread apart and their tongues touched it was like their souls touched as well.

Michael cupped Luke's face and Luke's hands were pulling Michael's shirt.

The sound of their heavy breathing mixed with the sound of rain and the storm had passed the city.

As the clouds left and the moon lightened up the hotel room Michael finally opened his eyes. The rain slowly stopped and the brightness of the moon made Luke look even more beautiful than he already was in Michael's eyes.

The younger man smiled at him before he rubbed their noses together to get his attention. Michael smiled back and pushed a fee curls away from his face.

They kissed again.

They kissed until they fell asleep.

And then they would kiss again when they would wake up when the sun would replace the dark clouds. And even then Michael would feel content and happy. Even without the familiar room and the rain.

He'll feel happy.

•••

I could start a one shot book only filled with them kissing and falling asleep together.

Thoughts?

Made you feel happy?
