To the moon ♡ muke

22 - lights will guide you home ☽

Luke wanted to cry.

He had the boy of his dreams express his love for him but they were locked up in a room. Kidnaped.

Ever since they've exchanged what Michael said would be the magic words neither of them was able to check their wrists to see if they had their colors.

The next time the guard came around, which was a minute later, he came with water and then never left their sides.

And Luke wanted to cry because he was locked up, tied up, unable to use his magic. His wrists were burning up and whenever he looked at the sun through the small cracked window and even thought about using it to burn the rope off and somehow escape with Michael a wave of pain hit him.

It was past midday and Michael and Luke couldn't do anything else besides look at each other and send each other encouraging looks and smiles. When Michael asked Luke if he was okay, one of the guards started shouting at him and Luke was afraid he might hurt him.

Then when the moment finally came and they were left alone Luke was able to share his plan with Michael.

"Michael. It's a full moon tonight."

Michael looked through the window and nodded. "I know babe. But please don't use your magic, you'll get hurt and it's not worth it. We couldn't get past these walls even if we'd want to."

"Michael listen to me." Michael stopped talking at looked at Luke rather than at the sun. He was prettier to look at anyway.

"I know we can get out back to our families. But we can bring them to us."

The older boy tilted his head in confusion, he could hear their kidnaper shouting something to whomever he was on the phone with. "What do you mean?"

"I'm too weak to do it by myself with this rope on. But with the full moon and you, I'm sure I can get my North star to guide them to us. I'm not sure if it'll work but it's worth a try."

"You're amazing," Michael told him. "But it'll still hurt you, I mean I'd do it but I don't know how to use my magic like that."

"If we're soulmates..."

"There's no if." Michael raised his eyebrow and for the first time since they've exchanged the hopefully magic words, Luke genuinely smiled.

"Soulmates help to control your magic and are a source of power, so with your help maybe we can try and make it home."

Michael smiled. "I love you, you know that?"

Ben wasn't sure how this happened. Sure the Hemmings family knew there were threats made towards their family, there always was someone who tried to bring down one of the two most powerful and wealthy families in the city.

None of them or at least he never thought he'll ever be in a situation like this.

To be waiting at the police station with his family and friends waiting for someone to bring his little brother back to him.

The worse part was his parents weren't with them and he wasn't sure he'd be able to survive the look of disappointment on his mother's face.
