By now Luke should seriously stop doubting Michael.

But when the boy moved away from their kiss so quickly, he couldn't hide the disappointment off his face.

There were billions of butterflies fluttering in his stomach and his mind was still fuzzy. He was high on all of the happy hormones he knew by name but couldn't remember.

Soon enough, Luke noticed Michael wasn't looking at him but at the door. "Someone's coming." He whispered and Luke realized that was why Michael's lips were no longer on his like they should be.

The older boy quickly stood up and Luke had to kick him in his ankle to get his attention. "Don't forget your jacket."

"Oh yeah." Michael kneeled down and carefully picked the jacket off Luke's shoulders.

The footsteps got louder and louder but to Luke's happiness, Michael pecked his lips again and smiled shyly at him before he rushed to his corner.

Luke wasn't sure how Michael would manage to tie himself back. Even with magic, unchaining was much easier than tying yourself back. Before that, he quickly changed the extra wristband from his non-tattooed wrist to cover up the tattoos.

He knew Michael didn't have enough time and hoped they wouldn't get into trouble. The woman and one of the men walked into the room, both of them still had their masks on but they were no longer in formal outwear.

"I hope you two got yourself comfortable." The woman spoke up. Her voice was beyond annoying to Luke and he wished she would just shut up. And let them go. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm not the enemy here."

Michael snorted and for a second Luke thought that the woman would slap him by the way she stopped talking.

"You're not supposed to be here at all but the same goes for you. Hemmings family owes me money, a lot of it. And since I couldn't get my money in a legal way I opted for more extreme solutions. The good thing is that this way I'll get even more money because I have both of you here."

She reached into her pocket and got her phone out. First, she took pictures of Michael and then of Luke and she didn't seem to notice that one of them wasn't tied up.

"I'll send this to your families first thing in the morning and hopefully by the end of tomorrow, you guys will be free to leave. Or better said nobody will be here to keep you locked."

She turned to the man who was just standing behind her not daring to speak up.

Only then Luke noticed he was holding what seemed like food and water in his hands.

"I'll come around in the morning once we'll see if your families are cooperating. Now my friend right here will feed you." She pointed at him. "Once you're done eating you'll be taken to the bathroom. Don't even think about doing anything because he will use magic on you if needed."
