Calum's, I guess outfit? Just a tank top and a pair of shorts. Not that important... but yeah?

The next morning, Luke sat in his window again and smoked. He was surprised when he saw Calum jump over the small fence and pull out a pack of cigarettes. He didn't say anything he just eyed Luke's lighter. Luke got the hint and handed the lighter to him.
They didn't speak, they just smoked in silence.
Luke thought Calum would be mad at him or at least ask him why he stormed off. But he didn't. Luke kinda liked that.
When Calum finished his cigarette, he jumped back over the fence and Luke watched him walk back into his house. Calum figured Luke wanted space, but he still wanted his regular morning smoke with him. It was like a routine now. Or at least it was for him.
Luke was growing on him and he didn't know if he liked it or not.
The next day was the same. Luke sat in his window and smoked, he watched Calum jump over the fence, he handed him the lighter and they smoked in silence and then Calum went back home.
Luke was kind of sad. He wanted Calum to talk to him, but it was his own fault that he didn't and he knew that. He knew he should apologize for storming off and snapping at him.
So, he sat down at his desk and grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down an apology in the most Luke way possible.
I'm sorry for yelling and storming off. Please talk to me again?
He figured Calum wouldn't think it was weird. Because Calum was different from Luke's friends and other guys he met.
He went to his window and looked out, he saw Calum drive out of his driveway. Luke mentally cheered and waited for Calum's car to be completely gone. The blonde took some tape and his note and then crawled out his window and jumped over the fence to Calum's garden.
He stumbled a bit, cause hello, he's literally like a newborn giraffe on the loose.
The boy made sure no one was looking as he made his way to Calum's glass door. He took the note and put it against the glass and taped it. He made sure it was secure and wouldn't fly away, then fled back to his house.

Calum had to go to the store. He had to get some basic groceries and a new pack of cigarettes. He had a bit of trouble finding the store since he just moved there. But, he eventually found it.
He made his way into the store and smiled politely at a female worker. Calum noticed she blushed and smirked to himself. Girls love him.
He grabbed a basket and tried finding his way through the store. Eventually, he found the stuff he needed and went to the cash register.
"I'll also need some cigarettes," he said kindly and pulled out his wallet. The teenage boy nodded and asked, "Which ones?" Calum squinted his eyes and looked at the options of cigarettes. "Erh, just the red ones." The boy nodded again and got down the packet. He seemed bored. Calum understood completely. His first job was also in a grocery store and it was quite boring at times.
Calum paid for his items and smiled at the boy before thanking him. "Have a nice day," he said to the boy, the boy just smiled forcefully.
He hopped back into his car and started to drive back home. He unlocked his front door and went back to his car and loaded the groceries inside. The boy went to sit down on his couch when he noticed something on his patio door. He tilted his head and went over to look at what it was.
