things like that

The boys had been in the studio all day, working on new music. They had just finished their album, but they liked being prepared and making music was fun for them. It definitely didn't feel like a job.

They'd been there since early that morning, and they were all getting tired and grumpy. Michael more so than the others. He'd spent most of the day snapping at his band mates, mostly Luke. Michael had always picked on Luke a little more than he had with the others. In high school, It was because he angry and confused about his feelings towards the boy. When they started the band, he continued picking on Luke mostly to cover up his feelings. But now things were different, Luke was his boyfriend. They'd been dating for three months. Michael still isn't sure how he mustered up the courage to confess how he felt, but somehow he'd managed to do so. He still picked on Luke, not as often or harsh but it still happened. He didn't want people thinking he'd gone all soft just because he was dating Luke.

"Michael, what do you think? Ashton asked him, shaking his shoulder a bit.

"what?" Michael asked, confused. He hadn't been listening to anything they'd been saying. He was too tired to focus, all he wanted to do was go home and sleep. He hadn't had a full night's sleep in such a long time, he really needed one.

"what do you think about Luke's idea?" Ashton asked, again.

"It's alright" Michael said simply, though he didn't even know what his boyfriend's idea was.

"just alright?" Luke asked, frowning a little.

"well, I didn't hear what it was" Michael explained to him.

"so you weren't listening?" Luke asked.

Michael looked up at him, and saw Luke's hurt expression.

"It's not that, I'm just super tired and it's hard to focus on anything right now.." Michael tried to explain to him, but even he realized how pathetic that sounded.

"you never listen to me" Luke said quietly, he looked even more hurt than he had a moment ago.

Michael sighed, he wasn't in the mood for this right now. He was so exhausted.

"don't be so over dramatic about this" Michael told him, which earned him some dirty looks from Calum and Ashton.

"why can't you just be nice to me for one whole day?" Luke asked before getting up and walking out of the studio.

Michael sat there, he was a bit stunned. Luke had never just got up and left before. Soon, guilt starting sinking in and Michael felt like crying. This day had been awful.

"seems like you really fucked up Michael" Calum told him.

"you think I don't know that?" Michael asked him, after rolling his eyes.

 "are you going to do something about it?" Ashton asked him.

Michael nodded, and stood up from where he was sitting. He walked out of the  room they were in, and went down the hall.

"Luke? Babe, where are you?" Michael called out, as he walked even further down the hall. There was no response, so Michael looked in the bathroom. Luke wasn't in there either. Michael turned around and went to look in the only other place Luke could be. 

He quickly walked out of the building, and rushed to their van. The doors weren't locked, so he let himself in. He was relieved when he saw Luke in the back seat, looking out the window. He had headphones in, so he hadn't heard Michael come in. Michael made his way to the backseat, and sat beside Luke.

Luke's music was blasting, Michael could hear it from where he sat. Michael poked Luke's thigh to get his attention. Luke jumped, and turned to face Michael. When he saw Michael's face, he looked sad again, even a bit mad but he took his headphones out anyways. 

"I'm sorry Lukey" Michael said quietly, and traced patterns on Luke's thigh.

"are you really?" Luke asked skeptically.

"of course I am, you're my boyfriend Luke, I would never intentionally hurt you" Michael told him.

"seems like you would though" Luke said to him, watching as Michael continued tracing patterns.

"Luke, I wouldn't. I'm really sorry that I hurt you today" Michael apologized again, a bit desperate. He needed  Luke to realize he was genuinely sorry.

"it seems like you hate me sometimes, you always tell me to shut up and you never want to listen to me, you always say I'm stupid and I just don't understand why you hate me so much" Luke admitted, still not looking at Michael.

Michael stopped tracing patterns, and looked at Luke. He wanted to explain to Luke why he was so rude sometimes, but he couldn't. It would sound stupid. He wanted to explain that he still didn't understand his feelings towards him, and everything was still so new and confusing to him but he couldn't. He hated talking about his feelings. So, he did the only thing that made him feel like everything would be okay.

He kissed Luke. It was a short kiss, sweet and simple. It felt nice, feeling Luke's chapped lips against his. But he pulled away because he knew if he didn't, things would probably get heated.

"If I hated you, I wouldn't do things like that" Michael told him, with a small smirk.

Luke smiled at him, before grabbing the back off Michael's neck and kissing him again.
