random lucaya love stories!

taking care of huckleberry

maya walks into school feeling happy for once. she was actually quite excited to see lucas and her friends. lucas was one of the only things that was making her happy these past few days. he made her smile, laugh harder than she ever has before. he made her wanna do better at school, he supported her art, and he made her an overall better person. she was just excited to see him. no they weren't dating or anything, they were just friends but he made her hella happy.

"hello everyone." maya smiles walking over to the group.

"hi peaches! how are you?" riley smiles hugging her best friend.

"i'm fine. where's ranger rick?" maya asks now noticing that he's not there.

"i don't know. he hasn't texted me at all today. he probably just has a doctor's appointment or something. he'll be here, don't worry, blondie." zay says wrapping his arm around her shoulder. she rolls her eyes playfully and leans into his shoulder as they walk to class.

after school, maya is more worried than ever. lucas never showed up to school and he never saw any of her text messages. so now she's frantically walking to lucas's house in the cold new york weather. once she gets to his house, she knocks on the door and waits while pulling on the sleeves of her sweater. his mom answers the door with a huge smile on her face.

"maya! honey, how are you?" his mom asks her.

"i'm good, how are you mrs friar?" maya smiles as they hug.

"i told you to call me lizzie! and i'm good as well. what're you doing here, sweetie?" she asks.

"lucas wasn't at school today and i got worried. he didn't answer any of my texts so i was just wondering where he was." maya says sticking her hands in her pockets.

"aw what a great girlfriend! he's upstairs, he may be asleep though. you can go check if you want." she smiles gesturing for maya to come inside.

"okay thank you." maya says about to walk away and then she remembers what lizzie actually said. "wait-girlfriend? i'm not lucas's girlfriend."

"you aren't?! huh, lucas talks about you all the time! it's like his world revolves around you hun!" mrs friar says laughing then going to the kitchen. maya blushes as she begins to walk up the stairs to lucas's room. she knocks on the door lightly.

"huckleberry? you in there?" she whispers from outside of the door. she doesn't get a answer so she opens the door to his room and hopes to god that he isn't naked or something. when she walks in she sees an adorable little cowboy sleeping in bed surrounded by tissues and covered in blankets with a washcloth on his head. he tosses and turns and slowly opens his eyes.

"oh hi pancakes. what're you doing here?" lucas asks and maya realizes how hoarse and low his voice is. her eyes widen as she sits next to him.

"you didn't come to school so i was worried about you." she mumbles.

"the maya hart was worried about me? wow i feel honored." he says putting his hand over his heart as maya rolls her eyes playfully.

"are you sick, sundance?" she asks.

"yeah it's just a cold though." he says sitting up.

"alright well i'll leave you to rest then. will you be at school tomorrow?" she asks hopeful.

"depends on if i have a fever or not. you don't have to go. i'd actually like some company." lucas chuckles.

"you're gonna get me sick hopalong!" maya giggles.

"lucas! honey! i have to go run an errand, will you be okay by yourself?" lucas's mom asks coming into his room.

"i'll stay with him, mrs friar." maya smiles.

"aw what a doll! thank you so much maya! i'll see you two soon. bye my boy." lucas's mom says kissing his forehead then walking out.

"looks like you're stuck with me, shortstack." lucas shrugs.

"shut up!" maya laughs rolling her eyes playfully. "do you want me to make you some soup?"

"sure, i'll come down with you." he says getting up.

"i can bring it up to you, silly goose." maya says helping him.

"yeah but you'll spill it on yourself and then burn yourself and ruin your clothes so i'll come down with you." he laughs. she nods and helps him down the stairs.

after maya makes him his soup, she sits down next to him and feeds it to him.

"is it okay?" she asks.

"it's perfect, may. thank you for coming over, penelope." he smiles. that smile can make maya's whole stomach erupt into a million butterflies. he looks so cute right now with his slightly flushed cheeks from his fever and his messy but adorable hair. his green eyes are a little duller than usual but they still manage to trap her into his gaze. everything about him is perfect to her. even texas lucas who has his flaws, but she still loves him in every way. too bad he doesn't feel the same. yeah his mom said that, but she probably got confused with maya and riley.

"you okay maya?" he asks snapping her out of her thoughts.

"yeah, i'm fine." she smiles. "and no problem. i had to make sure my huckleberry was alright."

"wanna watch some tv with me?" he asks.

"sure. i'll go put this away real quick. want some ice cream for your throat?" she asks.

"sure, i'll be here." he grins wrapping the blanket around him.

she comes back and sits down next to him. they soon find themselves in a cuddling position with his head on her chest and her small fingers running through his soft hair. lucas wraps his arms around maya's waist and sighs in happiness.

"maya, i love you." he says looking up at her.

"you what?" she coughs.

"i love you pancakes, more than a friend should love a friend." he grins.

"well good thing that i love you more than a friend should love a friend too, huckleberry." she smiles.

"i really wanna kiss you right now." he says softly.

"then do it." she whispers.

"i don't wanna get you sick." he pouts.

"i'll take my chances." she giggles before pressing her lips against his softly. they both smile as they pull away.

when lucas's mom comes home, she walks into the living room to find a sleeping lucas on maya's chest and maya sleeping as well with her hands in his hair.

"what a good girlfriend." she whispers to herself.
