Duke Imagines ?? (Really just Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard)

You Can't Come Over (Luke Kennard)

I stay up late in the night to finish my studying, frightened for the finals tomorrow.

I look over at my clock to see it's 12:00. I bite my bottom lip, deciding if I should get coffee or not. It won't be loud, so it shouldn't wake my parents nor my little brother.

I pick up my phone as I step into my bunny slippers and turn on the flashlight mode. The door lets out a quiet creak as I open it, and the stairs make the same sound as I tip toe down.

I walk into the kitchen and turn on the coffee machine. I sit on the counter and glare my flashlight at my feet as I swing them back and forth.

I jump as my phone starts ringing, the ringer on full volume as it blasts out Dirty Diana.

I quickly answer, not even checking the caller ID.

"Hello?" I whisper.

"Hey pretty girl." Luke answers.

I grunt. "I've told you a million times to not call me in the middle of the night. Especially the night before finals."

"I know, but it's boring studying by myself."

"Studying?" I ask.

"Watching Frozen by myself."

"Well, you can't come over. My parents are asleep, and I can't be distracted from my studies."

"Oh, come on, Nic." Lukas begs. "Pretty please?" I can just imagine him batting his eyelashes at the phone.

"I said no."

"Sissy?"

I look up to see my little brother, Charlie, standing in the doorway to the kitchen. He's only four (he was an accident from a broken condom), but he has amazing hearing.

"Luke, I gotta go." I hang up and put my phone down next to the coffee machine. "Hey Chuck. Whatcha doing up?"

"I heard Micheal Jackson play, then I heard you talking, so I came in here." He holds his stuffed kangaroo close to him.

I put on a small smile and jump off the counter. "You need to get some rest."

"You do, too."

I point to the coffee. "I need to stay up and study."

"Why?"

"I have big tests tomorrow that help decide if I get into Duke or not. It's scary. I have to study like a mad man."

"But you already got accepted."

"Yeah, but if I fail this exam, I can't go."

"You can do it, though." Charlie says. "You're the smartest person in the world."

I smile at the fact that my sweet brother loves me. "I don't think I'm the smartest in the world, but I'm the smartest in my school."

"That's still pretty good."

I let out a small laugh. "Yeah, it is."

And then, there's an all too familiar five knock melody from Frozen. I roll my eyes and sigh.

"Stay right here." I walk over to the door and open it. Luke is standing there in his plaid pajama pants and no shirt. I see his car parked in the driveway.

"Can I come in? It's freezing!" He says.

"No, you can go home."

"Luke?" Charlie asks, popping his head from behind my legs.

"Hey bud. Tell Nicole to let me in."

"Sissy, let Luke in!"

I hang my head back and groan. I step back to let Luke walk in then quietly close the door.

"You need to go home." I whisper.

Luke places a tot of my hair behind my ear. "I wanted to study with you."

"Well, you can't." I furrow my brows.

"Why're you mad?"

I release a huff of breath from my nose. "You can stay, but at 5:30, you gotta go home before my parents wake up or yours."

"Thanks, babe." Luke kisses my forehead.

"Now, go back to bed, Charlie." I run my hand through Charlie's hair. We look a lot alike. Light blonde hair. Green eyes. Freckles. Its crazy to me, my parents, and everyone who knows us.

"Can you tuck me in?" He asks, knowing I could never say no to him.

"Alright." I take Luke's hand and follow Charlie to his room.

I sit next to him on his bed and pull the large dog decorated covers over him. I lean down and kiss his forehead.

"Goodnight. I love you."

Charlie smiles and pulls his kangaroo closer to him. "I love you, too, sissy."

I softly smile and run my hand through his hair slowly as he falls asleep. I feel Luke's hand on my shoulder and look back.

"Lets go to your room." He whispers. I nod, and he picks me up, bridal style, and carries me up to my room.

"Waittt." I say before he places me down. "My coffeeee."

Luke sighs with a smile and carries me back downstairs. He pours my coffee into a mug, grabs my phone, and carries me back up.

I sit on the edge of my bed and sip the coffee, holding the mug with both hands.

"Ahh," I say.

Luke chuckles and kisses my cheek. I turn my head to him and smile.

"Wait," I whisper. "You don't need to study! You're already in college!"

"I tricked ya."

"I hate you. Get out, I can't have a distraction."

"Why're you so tense?"

I sigh and rest my head against his shoulder. "I'm gonna fail and not get into Duke."

"You're going to ace this test and blow everybody's mind on how you got a hundred. Then we will have an apartment at Duke and have the best years of our life."

I lift my head and smile at him. "I love you."

Luke pecks my lips. "I love you, too."
