Luke: You Can't Even Look Me In The Eye

"Hey babe." I said, flopping down onto the bed next to Kira. She hardly glanced my way though, just continued to pick at a loose thread on the bedsheets. "What's up?" Kira takes a deep breath and looks over at me over her shoulder a little.

"Sorry, what did you say? I was.. Thinking." She said slowly, turning away from me again.

"I asked what's up you seem stressed out or something or... I don't know sad." Kira sighed.

"Nothings wrong. I'm okay." But I could tell she was lying. I just wasn't sure how hard I should push her to talk to me. I know I've been a little distant lately but so has Kira. She spends way more time with Calum than she ever does with me. Maybe it was something between them.

"Did something happen with Calum?" Her head shot up and her side profile looked to be one of fear.

"W-what?" I arched an eyebrow at her as she started to pale.

"Did you get in a fight with Calum?" I asked. "Is that why you're so nervous and upset?" Kira swallowed hard, this time turning beat red.

"No, we didn't fight." She said in a soft voice.

"Well what is it then? You don't seem like yourself."

"Then who do I seem like Luke?" She asked with an irritated sigh. I started to chew on the inside of my cheek. I seem to annoy her a lot now. She's always rolling her eyes and sighing and getting impatient.

"I don't know. You just seem... Sad. I don't know how else to say it." Kira continued to pick at the loose thread on the comforter. "Kira." I said softly.

"What?" She said.

"Kira look at me please." Not even my gentle coaxing got her to lift her eyes. "Kira." I said again.

"What Luke?" She snapped. "What the hell do you want from me?" I stiffened at the tone of her voice. Kira doesn't get mad often and rarely yells. I watched her wince a little.

"You can't even look me in the eye. What's wrong Kira?" Kira took a deep breath and I felt a knot in my stomach tighten as she finally lifted her head and turned her eyes to me. I've always loved her eyes. They were warm and inviting and sparkling but right now she looked tired and impossibly stressed. Her mouth was set in a thin grim line and her eyebrows were arched down a little. Why was she looking at me like that?

"Luke I..." she stopped. "It's nothing Luke, really. It's not important."

"It is important baby if it's bothering you." I said, picking myself up off the doorframe of the bathroom and walking towards her. I sat down on the bed next to her, taking one of her hands in mine. "Come on, why won't you tell me what's wrong."

"It's fine." Kira mumbled. "I can take care of it. Don't worry, please." But how could I not worry? I love Kira. I would do anything to make her happy. I hated seeing her so sad.

"How about I order some ice cream from room service and have it brought up here. Would that cheer you up?" I asked. A smile tugged at the corners of Kira's lips.

"Yeah Luke, that sounds... Really nice." I leaned in and kissed the top of her head.

"Alright, I'll go order something. Find a movie on TV and we'll watch it together. Get one of those payperview ones if you like." Kira nodded and turned to grab the remote for the TV on the nightstand as I went to the living room to grab the hotel phone.

I pressed the button for room service and placed an order for a fudge sundae which they said would be up in the next ten minutes or so. When I went back to the bedroom, Kira was gone but the TV was on. I glanced at the bathroom, seeing the light was on through the slit at the bottom of the door. Her phone chimed on the bed and I sat down to take a look at it.

Calum 😜
What ya doin'

I frowned slightly. When had Kira changed Calum's name in her phone? They've had each other set as Calum the King and Kira the Queen since high school. It was like an inside joke I never really understood and kind of hated since Kira is my queen, not his. I am her boyfriend. I clicked on the message and the four digit password screen popped up. When I typed in her password though, it didn't work and I frowned. In all the time I've known her, Kira's password has been 3825, in other words it's the word "FUCK" and that also hasn't changed since we were in high school.

I heard the toilet flush and then the sound of running water from the sink. I set her phone down on the bed, locking the screen as I did. When she walked out of the bathroom, she looked even more miserable than before, almost like she had been crying. She climbed back onto the bed and dropped her head down into my shoulder. I smiled lightly and put my arm around her shoulders.

"The ice cream will be here soon." She made a grunting noise that I interpreted as one of satisfaction.

"What movie did you want to watch?" I asked, pulling us farther up the bed so she could lay down if that's what she wanted.

"You choose Luke. I just want to lay next to you." I nodded as she dropped her head down into my lap. I began to run my fingers through her hair, scrolling through the menu for the TV with the other. I loved moments like this with Kira, when we were alone together. I've missed being with her like this.

A/N:
A short part but it had to be done, see ya'll next week.
