This song is adorable so like... enjoy? I guess?

Ashton. Ashton. Ashton. Ashton.

That was the only thing on Michael's mind right now. Why did he kiss him? Yes, it was just on the corner of the mouth, but why? It's not like they haven't kissed before, but that was only on the cheek or hand.

Michael couldn't focus on anything other than that. He was just laying on the sofa, some weird movie playing in the background, and Daniel The Lion resting on his chest.

"I don't know, Daniel... He just kissed me... Does that mean he likes me?" He asked the stuffed animal, it just stared back at him with a blank expression.

"You're so right." he kissed the lion on it's head "Maybe he was just feeling so much in that moment and didn't know what to do.. You know just what to say, Daniel." he sighed and closed his eyes for a brief moment.

"What do you think Luke is doing?"

"Luke, I'm going to Susan's house!", Liz called. 

Luke frowned "No, mum.. Please stay... I don't wanna be home alone... Please." Liz sighed and grabbed her keys "Luke, honey... You can do this, okay? I'm only away for, at least, two hours. It's just book club." She rested her hand on Luke's shoulder "You can do this", she said sincerely. Liz was a little afraid about leaving Luke home alone. But she could trust Luke not to harm himself, or do something more serious, right?

Luke nodded sadly and looked down in shame. He was 17 for fucks sake. He should be happy that he was home alone.

"I'll be back very soon," Liz comforted and kissed his forehead.

When Liz left, Luke walked upstairs to his "Hobby room". He sat down in his desk-chair, grabbed his pencils, turned on his music and started to draw. Drawing and music calmed his anxiety, so he drew and sang and played music a lot.

At first he didn't knew what to draw, but then he got an idea... Would it be creepy to draw Michael? 

The whole thing about Ashton and Michael kissing thing was still in the back of his mind, but he didn't want to think about it in that moment.

A shy smile formed on his face as he pulled out his phone and went to his photos, Michael had taken a selfie with his phone a few days ago, so why not draw it?

So, he first studied Michael's face a lot, and he may may not have blushed when he did so. He found the different angles and then he started on the drawing, and he instantly felt calmer.

He hummed along to One Direction, Little Things (Michael's fault) as he drew Michael's eyes. He wanted them to be perfect, because Michael's eyes were Luke's favorite thing about him. He could look into them all day, if he wasn't so awkward.

"Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun You're insecure, don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the do-oo-r!" Michael sang loudly into his hairbrush while dancing around in a goofy way "Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you-u!! Baby, you light up my world like nobody else the way that you flip your hair get's me overwhelmed!" Michael did a hair flip (not that there was much to flip, but yeah)

He continued singing (or screaming) the lyrics. It was lucky he lived alone.

Michael was bored. Really bored. He had nothing to do, Ashton was at work (he worked at KFC) so he had no one to hang out with. So, he just kinda danced around his room listening to One Direction.. Michael was a big fan of One Direction, if you can't tell. But, he was scared to admit it sometimes. People can be mean.
