tw attempted suicide. no explicit details. just luke and mikey trying to talk it through
luke walked into the house that he shared with michael, and his eyebrows furrowed when he saw a card sitting on the small table.
he picked it up, and opened it, reading over the words.
'luke, i love you more than you will ever know. i'm sorry'
"michael?!" luke yelled, confused by what he just read, but he assumed the worst as he ran to their bedroom door.
he twisted the doorknob, but it was locked.
"michael?! are you in there?" luke asked.
he heard movement on the other side, so he knew michael was there.
"michael, let me in.." luke said, wiggling the door knob.
"luke, leave me alone." michael said, and luke could tell he had been crying.
"no. what does that note mean, michael?!" luke cried, and felt his legs get weak. he sat on the ground, his forehead pressed to the door.
"luke, i don't want to do this anymore.." michael whispered through the door.
"do what?"
"live, luke. i don't want to live anymore." michael cried.
"no don't say that.." luke cried, and felt his heart completely breaking. "...please don't say that."
"luke-"
"michael, i know how hard it is to just live, and i know that you have the world against you sometimes, but please don't do this."
"i want to.." michael sobbed, and luke wiped his eyes.
"don't leave me. i know it's selfish to say that, but please don't leave me."
"why not?" michael asked, and sniffled. "think about all the times i've got into my head and took it out on you. i'm only hurting you. i yell at you, and i ignore you, and-"
"sometimes, sure, but what about the rest of the times? michael you taught me how to play video games with you, and you taught me that i'm beautiful, and you taught me how to love, but one thing you didn't teach me is how to live without you. i'm not ready for that." luke cried, his sobs were loud, and it broke michael to hear luke like that.
"i can't do it, michael. you're all i have." luke cried.
"you're gonna find someone, luke. someone who can make you happier."
"i'm not gonna love anyone else ever again because they're just gonna leave too." luke sobbed, his fist on the door. "don't leave me, michael. i don't know how to live without you."
luke collapsed on the floor, pulling at his hair, almost screaming. his cries were loud, and he subconsciously started to kick at the door, trying to open it somehow.
it felt like his entire world was just falling apart.
michael couldn't stand listening to luke anymore, so he opened up the door, and saw luke. he was a mess on the ground.
he laid beside luke, and wiped his own eyes before pulling luke's body into his own.
he hates life, but he loves luke more.
"baby, i'm sorry." michael whispered. he kept repeating those words as he tried getting luke to calm down.
"you're not leaving me today, michael." luke cried, holding onto michael's shirt.
"i'm not leaving you."
