Bucket List (Muke Fic)

Chapter Seven

Michael sleepily woke up as Luke slid into bed behind him, resting his nose into Michael’s neck. He figured Luke just wanted to cuddle until he fell asleep, so he closed his eyes again, scooting closer to the younger boy. But his eyes flew open when he heard Luke sniffle before burying his face in the back of Michael’s shoulder. And Michael wasn’t dumb enough to not realise that his Luke was crying.

"Luke?"

Luke just let out a soft whimper and Michael immediately turned around, wrapping his arms around the blond, hushing him.

"No, hush, it’s alright, what’s wrong?"

"I can’t get fixed, can I?"

"Huh?"

"I’m dying and that’s just it, I’m gonna die and it can’t be stopped, I can’t get fixed. I don’t wanna die Mikey, I don’t wanna."

Luke hiccuped, sobbing harder, and Michael’s heart completely shattered. Tears began rolling down his cheeks as he held Luke tighter.

"Shh, it’s alright Lukey, it’s okay. Y-you’re gonna be fine."

Luke hit Michael in the chest.

"No I’m not, stop lying to me to make yourself feel better!"

Michael’s breath caught, and he squeezed Luke slightly.

"I’m sorry. I’m sorry Luke."

“‘S not your fault.”

Michael rested his face in Luke’s hair, breathing slowly, just rubbing Luke’s back and letting Luke cry into his chest.

"You’re still here, you don’t deserve to cry. I don’t want you to be sad."

Luke sniffled before looking up at Michael and frowning. He lifted his hand to wipe away the tears on Michael’s cheeks as he spoke.

"I didn’t mean to make you cry."

Michael just laughed slightly.

"I’m only crying because you’re sad and it’s making me sad, stop crying you moron."

Luke pouted, rubbing his eyes dry.

"Meanie."

"Only cos you’re cute."

Luke stuck his tongue out at Michael before kissing him.

"Dumbest reason to be mean."

"Is not."

"Don’t argue with me."

Michael pouted and Luke giggled, kissing him again.

"How cute."

"I’m not cute."

"Yes you are."

Michael huffed, rolling them over and carefully pinning Luke down.

"Not cute."

Luke just smiled.

"You’re fucking adorable."

"I am manly as fuck."

"Prove it."

"What?"

Luke went pink as he repeated himself.

"Prove it."

Michael stared down at him with bated breath, until Luke spoke again.

"I mean, unless you’re not as manly as you say that you won’t even-"

"Oh, shut up you dummy, I will prove it."

-:-:-:-:-

"OH THERE YOU TWO ARE!"

Luke jumped behind Michael at Ashton’s annoyed shout. He peeked around the fluffy boy before noticing that Ashton looked grumpy and tired. And that Calum was asleep on the floor.

"What?"

"You two. You were fucking all night and kept us up!"

"It wasn’t all-“

Michael crossed his arms.

"You’re just grumpy cos you didn’t get laid."

"I am not."

"Yes you are."

"That has nothing to do with it, I just wanted to sleep."

"I was comforting him."

"With your dick?"

"Yes, it does wonders."

And with that, Michael took Luke’s hand and pulled him out of the house so they could go to McDonald’s.
