Having an older boyfriend to Luke was the best thing ever. Not because he had a car and a fake ID. Because he was Michael.

The boy he adored for years and thought Michael would never like him back. To say Luke was shocked when his mum told him, Michael's mum told him that Michael thinks he's beautiful is an understatement.

Luke kept blushing whenever he then saw the boy and Michael put the pieces together and since Luke already knew about his feelings he asked him out.

Their dates included them eating, sleeping, reading comics, watching TV and playing video games in Luke's bedroom where he felt the most comfortable.

It wasn't until they were together for almost six months when Michael's friends expressed their wish to meet the special boy. Luke said yes because he knew how much it meant to Michael and he knew his friends were nice.

It was the first party he ever went to and Luke presumed that like in the movies, pool party didn't actually require him going into the pool. He wore his swimsuit but didn't think he'd make it anywhere further into the pool than maybe wetting his feet.

It turned out Michael loved the water and the first thing he did was pull his boyfriend in the middle of it. Luke just squealed and peeled himself to Michael's back. That, of course, the older man understood as a sign of affection and didn't think much of.

"I'm going to get us some drinks," Michael announced as he walked to the edge of the pool with Luke on his back.

He gave Luke a quick peck on the lips before leaving him there. Luke held on tightly to the edge of the pool but grabbed a ball and held on to that instead when some boy started smoking. The smell made him float away and he was actually quite proud of himself for being able to float above the water.

Michael came back minutes later and smiled widely at his boyfriend. He returned to the pool with a beer for himself and some coke for Luke. Michael walked into the pool and made his way to Luke who was relieved to have him, his person, back.

"Here you go." Michael passed the cup to Luke who just stared at him with a terrified expression on his face.

"What's wrong? It's nonalcoholic I promise."

"I can't let-t go of the ball," Luke whispered.

"Why not babe?"

"I-I can't swim."

Michael looked surprised but quickly walked over to Luke so he could tangle his hands around his neck. With their faces so close together Michael carefully observed and tried to read Luke's facial expressions.

"Why didn't you tell me this Lu?"

Luke realized Michael didn't think he was weird for it. Instead, he was genuinely worried.

"I just didn't find the right time to."

Michael smiled. "There's no right time. You could tell me in the middle of our make-out session that you don't like carrots and I'd be cool with it."

Luke smiled at that as well.

"Do me a favor beautiful. Stretch out your legs."

Luke frowned but did as asked. He realized when his toes touched the floor that the pool wasn't actually that deep.

Michael laughed when Luke started to giggle. He was worried for nothing.

Michael kissed him sweetly and Luke pressed their bodies closer together making Michael's friend's whistle at them.

"Mikey."

"Yeah Lu?"

"I don't like peas."
