"you look so adorable."
"shut up."
michael smiled fondly at the younger boy as he sat at his desk in a pair of sweatpants, and a sweatshirt that was bigger than him.
he studied his notes carefully, wanting to do his best on his final tomorrow.
"you've been studying all day. come cuddle." michael said quietly from their bed on the other side of the room.
"michael, i paid too much for this class to do bad on my final tomorrow." luke said, and laid his head on the desk.
"but you've been studying-"
"i've been studying less than i should because you guys just had to have band practice yesterday-"
"luke-"
"and my brothers just had to move out yesterday so my mom was all upset and-"
luke stopped when he felt michael's arms wrap around him.
"you're stressed.." michael whispered, and luke relaxed just a little bit.
"well of course i am."
"well stop it..." michael laughed, holding luke close. "...sometimes i think it's good to be stressed because you get things done, but right now you just need a break."
luke sighed, and shook his head.
"i can't-"
he stopped when he felt michael's lips press onto his neck.
"i have to study-"
"and i have to study you." michael whispered, turning luke's chair around. he sat on luke's lap, and kissed his neck harder, holding the back of luke's head.
luke closed his eyes and let michael get his way for a second.
he felt himself really starting to give in to michael but he had enough self control to push the older boy off a little.
"michael, stop!" luke whined, and the older boy rested his head against luke's.
"why? baby, you're gonna do fine-"
"yeah, fine. michael, that's not good enough!" luke frowned, and michael pouted. "i'm gonna have to stay up all night-"
"i'm not letting you do that." michael said, and luke rolled his eyes.
"but-"
"but nothing. if you stay up all night you're gonna be too tired for your test. you have been studying non-stop, and i know that you are so, so smart, and you're going to do amazing. listen, it's 11, and i think you should go to bed, alright?"
luke nodded, and michael stood up, picking luke up after. he pressed his lips to luke's cheek, and carried him over to the bed.
he laid luke down, and laid on top of him, pulling the blankets up.
"you're gonna do amazing. don't forget that." michael whispered, and luke smiled a bit. "now relax. you've gotta sleep, baby."
michael pressed his lips to luke's neck comfortingly, very slowly kissing his skin as he ran his hand through luke's hair because he knows that calms him down.
it was only a matter of minutes before the exhaustion from stress and michael's touch put him to sleep.
michael gently rolled over, and pulled luke into him, holding him close.
"i'm so proud of you. i love you."
