Usually Luke was a deep sleeper but he woke up from his nap when he felt the presence of another person on his bed.

He opened his eyes and saw Michael staring at him with guilt.

"Sorry I woke you up." He whispered like Luke was still asleep.

Luke smiled. He didn't mind it, not when the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Michael.

"It's okay. Is there anything wrong?"

Michael slowly laid down as well but kept the distance between them. Luke laid his hand down with his palm up so Michael could place his hand on top of it.

The older man's face was flushed and his eyes red so Luke knew he was crying.

"I heard you talk to that girl the other night. You know, the one you've been going on dates with. I didn't mean to eavesdrop I swear, I just-"

"Mikey, it's okay." Luke calmed him down.

Michael smiled weakly and wiped the tears off his cheeks with his free hand. "I heard what you've told her. That your heart belongs to someone else-"

His voice broke again and this time Luke's eyes teared up too.

"I love you, Luke. You know I do. And I'd give everything so we could be together and I want us to be together. I'm just-" He took a deep breath. "So sorry that I'm not ready for another relationship."

"Shh." Luke stopped him. "You shouldn't be sorry. I'm sorry that you've suffered so much in your previous relationship. I love you and I'd never hurt you."

"I know," Michael whispered.

Luke smiled. "I'll wait for you Michael, I've loved you for so long and seeing you happy with me is my life goal. You're my dream and if you remember the last dream we had together was to have people love our music and they do. So I'm confident this will come true as well."

Michael smiled and reached over so Luke joined him on the other side of the bed. Luke cuddled close to Michael and closed his eyes.

Quietly, Michael started singing. "I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care, but it's so cold and I don't know where. I brought you daffodils in a pretty string, but they won't flower like they did last spring."
