how i loved you

[ i'm only writing this because i'm pretty fuckin sad ]

it's not fair because luke loved michael and part of him knows that it would never truly work. but part of him also hopes it does work out.

he saw michael in the hallway the day after he texted him, telling michael that he had a crush on him. michael was laughing and talking with a few friends and sent a little wave in luke's direction. luke returned the gesture, though his heart did backflips because things weren't as awkward as he thought they would be.

he was meant to spend time with michael and a few other friends but he had to cancel due to an appointment. luke was kind of upset about it, but he had also gone over every possible outcome in his head. every one involved luke walking in and getting completely embarrassed.

he honestly couldn't believe he told michael he liked him. it was all too much, not to mention the fact that he had to see michael in the halls everyday. his heart started beating way too quickly and he kept his head down as to not overwhelm himself with the noise and commotion in the hallway.

'luke, you okay? you look nervous?' luke looked up and almost fainted when michael was standing over him. luke felt his whole body going weak as he shook his head, signalling michael to help move him toward the library, which was a few doors down.

luke's ears were ringing and he tried to wrap his mind around what was happening. michael was with him, even though luke had embarrassed himself by texting him.

'c'mon, we can go to the back so you can calm down. you're shaking.' michael whispered. luke looked around and saw that they were already in the library. he simply hummed. he felt really lightheaded.

'luke, bub, you with me?' luke snapped his head up at the petname and his eyes blown wide before everything went dark.

'-hen he just- oh wait he's waking up. luke? you okay?' luke blinked hard as he sat up, noticing that his head was resting in michael's lap. his heart sped up, but he thinks it could also be traced to the fact that there were tons of people around him and he was laying in the back of the library.

his lip trembled and a few tears slipped from his eyes. he was so overwhelmed and moreso embarrassed and he didn't want to be dealing with this.

'hey, don't cry. they're just making sure you're okay. do you wanna try sitting up?' luke nodded and michael helped him up. luke quickly turned and faced michael, grabbing for his hands. he needed the extra comfort.

'you're okay. just breathe.' luke focused on the subtly rubs michael was making in his hands with his thumb. he focused on the way their hands were together. he focused on only michael, ignoring the people around him.

'luke, did you hear them?' luke looked up at michael and shook his head.

'they asked if you wanted to go to the nurse or stay here with me for the rest of the day?' luke blushed and simply pointed to michael before wiping his eyes. michael smiled at the cute boy before telling everyone around them that he was okay.

'thank you.' luke mumbled, playing with his hands. michael smiled.

'no problem. also, and please don't faint again, i really do like you too.' luke refused to look up as he felt tears poking in his eyes. this was honestly a dream come true. he felt arms being hugged around him.

'please don't cry because i don't like seeing you upset.' luke smiled and sat up on his knees. he wrapped his arms around michael's neck.

'i'm overwhelmed right now and i'm also super tired.' luke whispered, resting his head on michael's shoulder.

'take a nap, i'm not going anywhere.'
