It was way too early for Michael to think about anything else but slowly opening his mouth and chewing on his breakfast.

Calum and Ashton were talking about something unimportant to him and he couldn't wait for them to get into the van so he'll be able to take another nap.

"Guys..." Since their tour manager normally left them alone unless it was something important Michael decided it was worth looking at her. "Where's Luke? We leave in twenty minutes."

Twenty minutes was still plenty of time to get ready. If you're not Luke Hemmings who has to eat his breakfast before he showers and normally doesn't pack in advance.

"Dave, you have an extra room card, right?" Zoe asked their bodyguard who nodded silently but Michael could see his annoyed facial expression. He understood Luke, before ten AM, was not fun.

He shoved the last spoon of cereal into his mouth and stood up. "I'll go."

He could feel everyone staring at him but he just grabbed the card and walked towards the lift. While in the elevator he remembered the last time they were at this hotel, he and Luke shared a room and in general, waking him up was easier.

Michael unlocked the door without knocking because he's seen Luke naked before.

As expected Luke was asleep, the blinds were up and the sun was shining on his ex-boyfriend who was still dressed in his jeans.

"Luke," Michael said loudly and walked over, his mouth was hanging open and quiet snoring was heard. "Hemmings." Michael tried again and shook his shoulder gently.

Luke's eyes fluttered open and he blinked a couple of times before he seemed to notice Michael.

"What?" He groaned and tried to roll over but Michael grabbed his wrist and tried to pull him up.

"You're late. We leave in fifteen minutes."

He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "M'not late if we leave in twenty."

"I said fifteen and we both know you will be. C'mon go and shower." Michael sat down on the messy bed.

"I can dress alone, you can leave," Luke mumbled as he pulled his dirty jeans off and threw them into his suitcase.

Michael laughed. "No, thank you. I want to make sure we're not late for yet another interview this week. Since even when you're the one who's late Cal and Ash always look at me like it's my fault."

Luke bit his lip but said nothing. He disappeared into the bathroom and while he was under the shower Michael started to pack up Luke's things. His phone was dead so Michael plugged it into the charger.

He threw a pair of clean underwear when Luke walked from the bathroom naked. "Dude, you really need to wash your clothes."

"You know I don't know how to use a washing machine."

Luke threw the rest of his clothes into the suitcase before he took the half-clean shirt he wore the day before and some pants he borrowed from Calum.

"You live in hotels, you can ring them and they'll come and get your stuff and you'll have it back till the evening." Michael nervously glanced at his phone. They had five more minutes.

"My shirts are expensive for your information. I can't just trust them to strangers."

"I know. I bought half of them for you. If you hurry up, I'll wash them for you just please don't complain about eating breakfast in the car."

Luke was always a diva, just a happier one when he had someone who liked to please him.

They didn't talk until they were in the elevator. "It kinds is your fault, me being late. If you'd take me back, you'd always wake me up on time."

"It's you who broke up with me." Michael reminded him before he walked away and left a pouting Luke behind.

Their second interview for the day was done and Michael decided to spend some quality time with his PSP and play some games after lunch.

He could spot Luke walking into the room and staring at him.

"What are you playing?" He sat down next to Michael and handed him a water bottle.

"Mario." He took the drink and sipped on it before returning to the game.

"I was scared." Luke started. "I wasn't feeling well and I felt like being with you wasn't helping. Then I realized you were one of the few good things I had. It's just... You didn't even fight me on it, after a year of being together and fucking six years of pinning, one time I mentioned taking a break you agreed to it immediately."

Michael took a deep breath and paused his game like he wasn't dead already.

"I knew you weren't happy, Luke." He looked at the blue eyes he used to call home. "It was obvious and I was trying so hard to make you happy but you once told me you don't like relationships because they change people. And making you happy while you kept doing the same stupid mistakes wasn't easy. The reason I let go of you was that even when I knew we still loved each other you blamed me for not trying hard enough but you weren't even trying."

It hurt Michael to say those things but it hurt more to keep them from Luke.

"You wanted our love to be about grand gestures when it's the little things that matter. I bought you expensive gifts because I knew they made you happy, while you didn't appreciate the little things like me, washing your clothes all the time."

Luke wiped the tears away and turned to Michael. He gently turned his hand palm up and placed a USB on it.

"I know. Me feeling like shit shouldn't result in us breaking up and me blaming you. I wrote a song about you and I know that's a big gesture and it doesn't have to be a thing. Cal and Ash like it and they say it should be a single for the album but I want you to hear it. It's for you and about you. I don't expect you to take me back but I am willing to try harder because you're my best friend and I love you."

Michael smiled weakly and watched the love of his life leave the room. He turned the USB around and read Luke's messy handwriting.
