Michael was very very wholesome. Luke concludes this, he was like those wholesome memes about drinking water everyday and appreciating what someone does in one person.
It was just how Michael was and it was adorable. The whole walk home Michael went on tangents about how much he appreciated people.
"Like, I could give you the whole friggen' universe and it wouldn't be enough is how much I appreciate you." Michael grinned, gesturing up to the sky. "That's saying a lot." He starts, Michael feels weird for oversharing but he continues his speech anyways, "Because I really enjoy the stars. They're beautiful."
There wasn't many stars out because light pollution but Luke appreciates the gesture anyway.
"The stars are for you, Michael. You deserve them." Luke smiles, looking at the boy who's looking at the stars.
He looked like a little child, it was weird but so pure at the same time.
"If I get the stars." He started, pausing for a minute, "Then you get the planets." He concludes, smiling in satisfaction.
"So..." The blond started, he has the biggest shit eating grin and Michael knew he was going to say something dumb. "I get Uranus?"
"God damnit you ruined the moment Luke." Michael whines but it was cut short by laughter.
"This is why we can't have anything nice." Michael pouted as Luke was laughing harder at his joke to the point he has to stop to catch his breath.
Michael's never seen Luke laugh so hard and he's never taken someone who was so serious, to be dying over a planet name and dirty joke.
It was something so childish but, Michael was infatuated by Lukes reaction.
The blond eventually got his shit together and got up,
"Shall we go?" He smiles to Michael, the smile was so genuine, it made Michael's heart flutter,
The night time shines so great in your eyes and I wish you were mine. Michael thinks, the lilac boy is spewing romantic sayings through his brain but it would never leave his mouth.
Stuck.
The words are stuck and his tongue twisted like his stomach, full of butterflies but tied in a knot.
Luke was looking at him with such joy, he couldn't trade it for the world.
Then Michael had an idea, was it a good one? Nope, but he was still gonna do it anyway.
Michael stepped in front of Luke, stopping both of them from walking. This caused a small collision but nonetheless, Michael stopped him.
Luke looked down at him, his face is light pink but this time it was a blush, he was . His ears were red, it was probably from the wind but given that he has the blush across his cheeks, odds are that it was something else.
"I'm gonna do something dumb." He whispered, Luke smiles at this because Luke knew. The stars in the sky knew, so did the angels above, so did the demons below and the ghosts in between, everyone and everything knew Michael's intentions and Michael didn't even know it fully.
A small "Do it." Was all it took from Lukes lips for Michael to softly press his against Lukes.
Michael's lips were chapped, just slightly, but it was okay. It was more than okay, Luke felt like his body was on fire.
The wind spiraling between them wasn't cold anymore. It was warm, his body felt like home. Home, a place he hasn't been reminded of in years, some place strange to him.
A place he wouldn't remember sober.
The planets were aligned, the stars were in their favor tonight. He felt like him and Michael were riding the rings of Saturn.
It was so carefree and pure, like the childhood he missed.
Michael pulled away and the wind was cold again. Demons, angels and the ghosts all vanish. The planets go out of order and the nostalgia vanished.
But Lukes heart kept beating, it was working harder and he's gotten the best high he's ever gotten.
It's letting him know this is what it's like to be alive.
This is living, this is what people feel. This is what joy is, pure joy. No chemicals were forced into his brain and into his system to feel this way.
"Let's head back, yeah?" Michael smiles, the blonde just nodded as the Lilac boy with the galaxy exploded in him pulled him along. Trying to hold conversation.
Times like this Luke finally understood that homes aren't four walls, it's two arms and a heart beat.
