To the moon ♡ muke

29 - wishing on a star that's just a satellite ☽

thank you for all the love, I love you the most.

This is extra-long and as promised there are kisses. Only one chapter left after this.

☽☽☽

Since it was winter it was already dark outside when Luke pulled Michael into his dorm room.

Ashton wasn't there but all of Luke's suitcases were neatly placed next to his window. Michael's driver was a gem and Luke made a mental note to thank him when he'll see him next. But that definitely wasn't Luke's priority right now.

He texted Liam to give him a call when he and his sister will arrive at school but there was nothing much he could do about 'the Lia' situation without her here.

Michael reached for the light switch but Luke pushed him away and closed the door.

The older boy turned around and smiled. "What's your deal?"

Luke could clearly see the confusion on Michael's face as his eyes wandered around the room. He stepped closer to him and grabbed both of his hands.

"Can I show you something?"

Michael relaxed when Luke came a bit closer to him and he could see his boyfriend better. "Sure, what is it?" He chuckled. "You're being weird."

"Don't you trust me?" Luke asked teasingly.

He could see Michael roll his eyes in such a fond way it made his heart actually hurt.

"Of course I do."

"Okay then." Luke pulled his sleeve up so he could see his tattoo, he then did the same to Michael and slowly pulled his wristband down.

Michael stayed silent and just curiously observed what Luke was doing, by now he got used to the darkness and could see his precious boy better.

"Now..." Luke grabbed his hands again. "I'll show you some of my magic."

"Okay," Michael replied immediately. It was obvious Luke really wanted to do it and who was he to say no to him.

Luke pushed him around so he was looking towards the window. He stepped behind him and tucked his head on his shoulder before grabbing both of his hands again.

"Look at the moon and then look at the stars. You can't always feel their presence like you do with water or earth. But they are always here, always reaching for you to connect with them."

Michael did as Luke told him and found the moon with his gaze. It wasn't full or that bright but it still looked beautiful.

"Now make sure you're concentrated and just focus on the light it's giving away. Open your heart to it."

It seemed impossible at first to follow Luke's instructions but the second he connected the dots and remembered Luke's name meant light he smiled to himself. The second he did it the moon started to shine even brighter and when he looked away from it and towards the fields everything seemed to glow.

It was like Michael's heart stopped beating, he never felt closer to anyone than to the boy pressed against his back. He turned around and looked at Luke who was already staring at him. The moonlight hit his face as feel in such a delicate manner he looked even more beautiful than usual. Which Michael thought was impossible.
