I'm fine i'm just beyond repair

Chapter 13

Michael and Luke were once again in Luke's room that Sunday afternoon. They had just dyed the older boy's hair the colour Luke had suggested and the blonde boy couldn't keep his hands of the blue locks.

"It looks really good on you." The boy complimented him once again.

"Thank you Lukey. From now one, you decide the colour." The younger boy nodded eagerly before he told Michael they should really do their homework now, otherwise there would be no time left for other things.

Luke was sitting across from Michael. He was working hard on his English homework while Michael spent most of his time looking at his friend. Luke's legs were intertwined with his and he occasionally brushed his feet against him. It was a simple movement, yet very intimate.

"Do you think this is weird?" the blonde looked up from his laptop.

"What?" Michael asked, having no idea what his friend was talking about.

"This." Michael followed Luke's glance to where their legs were tangled together.

"No, why?"

Luke didn't answer right away and both boys looked at their feet, not moving away from each other.

"I don't know, I was just afraid you'd find it weird I guess."

Michael still wasn't sure what Luke was on about and he didn't know what he expected him to say.

"I like it." Was all Michael said, as he shrugged.

"You don't think we cuddle too much?"

"There is no such thing as cuddling too much."

A small smile formed on Luke's lips and Michael figured he had given the right answer.

After a few minutes of silence, Luke came up with another question.

"Do you cuddle this much with Calum too?"

"No, I never cuddle with Calum. Why, do you cuddle with Ashton?"

"No."

Michael tried to concentrate on his history homework once again but all these questions were floating through his brain and he didn't understand what was going on in his friend's head.

"It's just..." Luke began.

"You can tell me." Michael smiled at the younger boy, to encourage him.

"We spend so much time together and I'd like to think we are very close... It almost feels as though you're my boyfriend." Luke's eyes were adjusted to the ground while he said it.

Michael gulped and thought of something to say. He didn't have much time to think because Luke was almost having a nervous breakdown in front of him.

"Would you like that?" God, that sounded stupid.

"I'd love that actually." Michael studied the boy's now red face, searched for some courage inside of him and crawled over to the boy, lips barely touching Luke's.

He wasn't entirely sure of himself until Luke moved forward, pressing his lips firmly against Michael's, his arms wrapping around the blue haired boy's neck.

"I've waited so long for this." And If Michael's insides weren't melting, he probably would've thought about how cheesy Luke could be sometimes.
