Bucket List (Muke Fic)

Chapter Six

Luke awoke from his daily nap to Michael repeatedly kissing him all over his face. Luke just giggled, pulling Michael down on top of him.

"Hi."

Michael smiled, kissing Luke’s nose.

"We’ve been together for a month and I still haven’t taken you on a date. I’m a horrible boyfriend."

"I took you on one."

"It was nice, ice cream is a good date."

Luke just smiled, and Michael gently nudged him.

"So are you up for it, or do you wanna stay here and watch a movie and cuddle? I was thinking that we could go to the fair if you’re up for it, although staying in and cuddling is fine too."

"No, I wanna go."

"Then we’ll go."

Luke cheered, and Michael smiled fondly.

"You’re so cute."

"Shut up Mikey. So when are we going?"

"Whenever you want."

"Now, I wanna go now."

Michael laughed at Luke’s excited expression.

"Babe, we’re half naked."

Luke sighed over dramatically, getting out of his bed as Michael rolled away from him.

"Go get dressed, give me ten minutes."

Michael just giggled, poking Luke’s bum as he went back to his room, giggling harder as Luke jokingly shook his backside while digging through his dresser after Michael had poked him.

By the time Michael got Ashton to drive them to the fair like he had said he would, an hour and a half had passed, and Michael was getting quite hungry.

"Luke, I’m starving, let’s get food."

Michael grabbed the sleeve of Luke’s flannel, pulling him towards the food booths.

"What do you want?"

"Do they have cheese fries?"

"Probablyyyyyy…yes. It’s on the sign, see?"

"Then I want cheese fries. And a cheeseburger."

"Pepsi?"

"Mmhm."

"Okay, go find a table Lucas."

Luke stuck his tongue out at his boyfriend before heading off to the tables to find a seat for them.

Luke tugged Michael’s hand so that he would look away from a little girl who was excitedly talking about Michael’s hair to her older brother.

"Can we go on the Ferris Wheel?"

Michael looked at it, checking the time to see how long they had until Ashton came to drive them back home.

"Yeah, okay."

Luke grinned, pulling Michael over to the ride. After a few minutes of waiting, they got on, and Luke cuddled into Michael as they watched the people on the ground, children running to their next ride, and their parents running after them.

"I wanted kids someday."

Michael looked at Luke and smiled, kissing his cheek.

"You’d be a cute mum."

Luke whined.

"Why am I the mum?”

Michael just laughed at his adorable pouting face, kissing him before answering.

"Cos I’m the dad."

"No fair."

"You can be the daddy then."

"Daddy’s cuter than dad anyway."

Michael rolled his eyes in mock-offense.

"Whatever you say Lucas."

Luke just giggled, and like a good boyfriend, Michael helped him off the ride once it had stopped, holding out his hand again as they silently decided to get ice cream. As Luke began happily devouring his sundae, he spotted a giant stuffed penguin at a balloon popping game.

"MikeyMikeyMikey."

Michael looked at Luke, mouth full of ice cream.

"Mm?"

Luke pointed at the giant penguin.

"Can I go try and win it?"

"It’s on your bucket list, of course."

Luke practically inhaled the rest of his ice cream before tugging Michael along to the game. Michael gave the woman five dollars, and Luke got his three darts. After three tries, Luke was clearly distressed about how badly he was doing and how far he was from getting his giant penguin.

"Let me try for you Luke."

Luke nodded miserably, stepping to the side. Ten minutes and twenty darts later, Michael proudly presented Luke with the six foot tall penguin with a kiss.

"Is this what you wanted?"

Luke just bounced on his toes, grinning, his arms wrapped securely around the penguin. He kissed Michael, thanking him repeatedly. Michael just smiled, happy that he could make Luke so happy with such a simple thing. His phone rang, and it was Ashton, telling them to hurry up and get in the car because it was getting extremely dark and kind of cold. So Michael took Luke’s giant penguin, and got the younger boy onto his back, as Luke’s sickness was starting to make him tired again once the adrenaline from being at the fair started to die down. He rested his face in Michael’s shoulder, and by the time Michael got to Ashton’s car, Luke was snoring softly on his back.

Michael sighed softly, sticking Luke’s penguin in one of the back seats, Luke next to it. Luke immediately rested his head on the penguin, dead asleep. Ashton tossed Michael a blanket, and Michael carefully covered Luke with it, making sure he was comfortable before getting into the passengers’ seat next to Ashton, who had the radio turned down to a minimum.

And as Michael carried his sleeping boyfriend and a six foot penguin into the house, he couldn’t help but smile madly at how good of a night they had shared together and how much he would like that forever.
