"mikey.." luke mumbled as he trudged into the living room.
"what are you doing up? you fell asleep like an hour ago." michael laughed.
"i don't know. what time is it?" luke asked, and walked over to the couch where michael was.
"just 11 p.m. come here, baby." michael said, and luke laid down with his head on michael's lap.
"play with my hair.." luke whined, pushing his nose into michael's stomach.
"you are a grown man, luke.." michael laughed, and luke giggled.
"if you play with my hair maybe later i'll play with your di-"
"stop." michael laughed, and luke smiled up at him.
"you're so pretty." the older boy whispered, leaning down to kiss the side of luke's head.
the blond giggled and michael smiled fondly, running his hand through luke's curly hair.
"i'm sleepy.." luke mumbled.
"go to sleep, sweetheart. i've got you, okay?" michael said, and luke smiled, turning on his back.
"i really like it when you say that." luke smiled.
"what?" michael asked.
"when you say 'i've got you.' it makes me feel really safe." he said softly.
"come here. you're too adorable." michael smiled, picking luke up, and kissing his face all over while luke let giggles fall out of his mouth.
he laid luke back down, and started playing with his hair again.
"goodnight, mikey. i love you." luke said softly.
"i love you."
michael smiled as luke fell asleep with his head on his lap. michael laid a blanket over luke, and leaned the couch back, deciding he was gonna sleep there tonight.
he couldn't bring himself to wake luke up and carry him upstairs.
luke looks like an angel.
