Luke

When Luke moved from his parent's house to his uni's dorm a lot of things had changed.

And he hated change.

For him, the worst thing was changing work as well. Previously he worked in a Lush store which was a fifteen-minute walk from his house and now he had to change two buses to get there.

They were busy rides but from his first week, there has always been a black-haired boy that would save him a seat.

Or more accurately. He'd move the bag from the seat next to his whenever Luke would walk by.

Luke didn't know his name but he always left the same station he did and was always there by the time the mall had opened. Luke presumed he worked there but he never saw him in any of the stores.

Michael

For the past two months, Michael's mornings were significantly better.

Ever since instead of smokers and horribly perfumed ladies a beautiful boy sat next to him on the bus on his way to work.

He also smelled amazing but that was a minor detail.

Michael knew where the boy worked but was way too scared to say hello or do anything more than removing the bag from the seat next to his.

It was almost Christmas and Michael still had to buy all the gifts for his mother.

He bought his dad concert tickets months ago and Calum and Ashton already had the best gift they could ask for. Him.

Michael asked both Calum's and Ashton's mums for advice and they both said, Lush.

Michael knew the pretty boy worked there but since the Holidays were around the corner he could hope for a Christmas miracle. The miracle being him finding out the boy's name.

And maybe marry him but the name would be a good start.

Luke

Luke's break was approaching and the smell of marshmallow and chocolate-scented bath bombs was driving him insane.

"How I wish you were edible." He sighed to himself.

At least that's what he thought.

When he heard a loud giggle he turned around already blushing. His embarrassment was even bigger because the giggle belonged to the black-haired boy who always saved him a seat.

"I'm sorry, I'm Luke how can I help you?"

The boy's reassuring smile calmed Luke down a bit.

"I'm Michael." Most costumers didn't introduce themselves to him but Luke was happy Michael did. "I'm here to buy my mum a gift for Christmas but I think before that I need to confess something. I once ate a chunk of a bar of soap and it wasn't nice. So I wouldn't eat those balls if I were you."

This time it was Luke's time to giggle. "My break is in five minutes I think I'll manage until then without eating the bath bombs. If your mum likes chocolate and marshmallows you can buy her some but if not, we have some amazing gift sets."

"I'd love to see the gift sets." Michael started and Luke turned to lead them to the part of the store where they had their Christmas collection. "But after buying you a hot chocolate with marshmallows in five minutes."

Luke turned back, his cheeks as red as before. This time, Michael looked just as flustered.

"Only if you'll let me bring you coffee to the bus every morning."

"Deal." Michael smiled and offered Luke his hand.

"Deal," Luke replied and took the offered hand.
