Michael took his headphones off to go to the toilet.

It took him five seconds to realize he wasn't alone in the room.

Luke, as large as he is, was squeezed on a chair with his knees to his chest writing in his notebook. He was so focused he didn't seem to notice Michael.

But who was Michael to judge him when he didn't even know his boyfriend was in the room.

"What are you doing?"

When Luke looked up his facial expression changed from focused to in love. It always did, it always made Michael feel special and loved.

"I'm writing. We have an album to write you know." Luke placed his notebook on the table and just stared at Michael. "It's time to write some good ones."

"What are you talking about?" He laughed. "You wrote the song of the year, you do know that right?"

At first, Luke's cheeks colored pink but then his eyes looked away and Michael immediately noticed it.

"Come here."

It was a miracle Luke didn't fall off the chair, that's how quickly he stood up and rushed to hug his man.

Michael was smaller but as on the chair, Luke always found a way to squeeze himself into his hold. And Michael was always there to love him.

"I know I should be happy," Luke whispered. "And I got used to it on a tour, you know? Signing it all the time. But it's different when just this song gets under the spotlight. Best song? I feel like I almost died writing it. I almost punched Ashton one time when he wouldn't stop bugging me with it."

He wasn't sure if the timing was right but Michael kissed his boy.

"There's nothing I can do to take the pain away, Luke. But you win, baby. You turned pain into music and you love music. Music isn't always fun and people love Youngblood because it makes them feel things. You're not alone."

"I love to perform it to them." Luke smiled.

"I know. It's been hard but you know art isn't easy. But it's worth it." Michael kissed the corner of Luke's mouth. "Everybody's got their demons, remember?"

And Luke did remember. He remembered how much Michael had healed and he knew he will too.

"I feel like Youngblood the album should be split in two. Youngblood and Lie to me feel so old to me. I was so broken."

Luke looked at his healer. "I wrote Better Man about you but everybody seems to think it was the other way around."

"I'll write all the songs about you in return." Michael pulled Luke to the bed. Luke was still sad, he could see it, but music healed him from within and Michael's kissed were healing him from the outside. "I love you, you know that right?"

Luke's laugh was his favorite thing in the world. "Right, so much that you haven't noticed me for over an hour of sitting in that chair."

"I'll make it up to you," Michael whispered and pressed another antidote against Luke's neck.
