not broken, just bent

chapter five // questions

Luke excitedly walked inside Michael's room, he smiled when he noticed all the posters on Michael's walls.

"we like the same bands" Luke told him, letting go of his hand and going to snoop around Michael's room some more. Michael didn't mind, he sat on his bed and watched Luke.

"I like your room, it suits you" Luke said a few minutes later.

Michael smiled slightly, and Luke sat down next to him.

"so"

"so" Luke repeated, giggling.

Michael smiled, he really loved Luke's laugh.

"what do you want to do?" Michael asked.

Luke shrugged, and laid down on Michael's bed. Michael laid down next to him, their faces were only inches away. Michael wanted to kiss him.

But he didn't, he couldn't. He wasn't sure what Luke thought of him as. Did Luke consider him a friend? Or more than a friend?

"you have a guitar? can you play something?" Luke asked excitedly, breaking Michael out of his thoughts and looking in the direction of Michael's guitar.

"I'm not that good"

"I'm sure you're great" Luke said, with a grin.

"nah, I'm pretty awful. plus, I'd rather cuddle with you instead" Michael told him, with a sheepish grin.

"no one's ever wanted to cuddle with me before" Luke admitted, his face bright red.

"really?" Michael asked, as he moved closer to Luke.

He felt Luke nod.

"well I have enough cuddles to make up for all the cuddles you missed" Michael told him, causing Luke to giggle again.

-

Luke ended up falling asleep while they were cuddling, not that Michael minded. He was content with watching Luke sleep.

Luke looked peaceful while he slept, he looked like he didn't have a care in the world. Michael wished he'd always look like that.

-

Luke woke up after only half an hour of sleeping, he was abit confused as to where he was when he first woke up but Michael explained it all to him. While explaining, he couldn't help but notice Luke looked adorable when he was sleepy. Michael hoped watching Luke wake up would become a regular thing for him.

-

After Luke had fully woken up, the two decided to watch some tv, but Michael wasn't really paying attention. He was back to thinking about what Luke and him were. They weren't dating, he knew that. But was there a possibility that they could? Did Luke even like him like that? He needed to know. He really liked Luke, so he needed to find out before he got too attached.

"Luke, I need to ask you something" Michael asked, hoping his words weren't as shaky as he thought they were.

Luke turned away from the tv and faced Michael.

"is something wrong?"

"what are we?" Michael blurted out. He had planned to ask in a much more nice and subtle way but he didn't know how else to ask.

Luke looked at him, and bit his lip. He looked anxious and he started playing with the sleeve of his shirt.

"I didn't mean to make you nervous, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked anything, I-" Michael rushed out.

"we're friends, right?" Luke asked quietly, interrupting. He looked like he wanted to say more.

"just friends?"

Luke didn't say anything , so they sat in silence.

"I'm not good for you Michael, I hurt everyone, I hurt myself and I'll end up hurting you too" Luke said, breaking the silence and looking down.

"I want to help you Luke, I don't want to try and fix you cause I know I can't. But I want to be there to hold you while you try and fix yourself" Michael told him, honestly. Because it was true, he didn't know how to fix Luke but he wanted to help him in anyway he could. He had so many things he wanted to tell Luke, but he couldn't find the words.

Luke looked up slowly, his eyes looked watery.

"I need to go" Luke said in a whisper, before getting up out of Michael's bed and running down his stairs leaving Michael crushed.
