MUKE one shots ♡

• i love you •

The boys had a tiring week behind them and they were all more than happy that they got their weekend off.

Moving to the UK to write music was absolutely amazing but they were just teenagers and even a week filled with pleasant obligations was a bit too much for them.

Especially for Michael.

Luke could see it in his eyes how badly he needed some alone time. Not because he didn't like spending time with his best friends but because he was an introvert. Michael needed to be alone or with less people to get his energy levels back on and ready for another week.

Luke knew those things because he always kept an eye on Michael.

Luke knew because he was in love with Michael.

He never said it out loud but he knew it was true. Luke also knew Michael knew he was in love with him and he had a strong feeling Michael felt the same.

It was the way they looked at each other, how they liked being close to each other and so on... Luke knew.

When they arrived at the house Michael went straight to his and Calum's bedroom. It wasn't even that late so their manager offered to give them a tour of the city to which Calum and Ashton immediately agreed on.

"Cal, do you mind if I take your bed tonight? Just so you won't wake Mikey up when you get back?"

Calum on the other hand knew nothing about Luke's feelings for their bandmate so easily agreed on it.

After his mum went to sleep and their bandmates were gone Luke changed into sweats and went to see Michael.

He didn't have to knock because he knew how he'll find the beautiful boy. Under the covers and with his PSP in hands.

Luke said nothing and crawled under the blanket keeping his distance from the boy.

"Hi." Michael whispered. "What are you doing here?"

Luke scooted closer so their shoulders were touching. "Came to keep you company. I know you need some time alone."

The green-eyed boy chuckled. "You do know how stupid that sounds?"

"Stop it." Luke whined.

Michael turned his game off and turned to Luke. "Okay you win. Let's be alone together."

"Dork." Luke mumbled with a warmth in his voice. "What'd wrong Mikey? You've been a bit distant lately."

Michael leaned his head on Luke's shoulder. "I miss my mum."

Luke started petting the brown dyed hair. "When was the last time you called her?"

"Last week."

"We should call her in the morning." He suggested. Luke snuggled against Michael and hugged him closer.

"I'm not sure I want to. I told her something last week and we haven't talked about it yet."

"Are you afraid she'll be mad or something?"

Michael nodded against his shoulder.

"Just remember that she loves you. So do I."

Luke couldn't help himself. He pressed his lips against Michael's neck.

He couldn't hear Michael's breath hitch but the older boy said nothing so he pressed another one against his collar bone.

"I told her that."

"Told her what?" Luke whispered.

"That I love you."

Luke closed his eyes feeling the tears gathering up. He knew it. He did but it felt so good to hear it.

He cupped Michael's face and looked him in the eyes. "I love you too."

Michael looked so fragile like this but when he leaned forward and kissed Luke fiercely it took his breath away.

They cuddled closer like that. Just with their lips pressed together.

After a while Luke turned around and let Michael cuddle him. Michael returned the favor and peppered little kisses all over Luke's neck.

"We'll call your mum in the morning and we'll talk. Then we'll tell my mum as well. Okay?"

"I love you." Michael replied and already felt less exhausted as he fell asleep holding the boy he loved.
