The good thing about being on the road with two tour buses was that if needed Ashton and Calum could split their bandmates apart.
It happened more often than expected. Whenever Luke and Michael would hate or love each other too much, Michael would stay on the bus with his gaming things and Luke had to spend the night on the other bus.
When the case was that the two were fighting, after a few hours apart they couldn't wait to just see each other again. If it was because they were too in love, sooner or later they got into a hotel room and showed all the needed love for each other.
But this time it was different.
Michael was sick and to prevent Luke from touching him, he had to go to the other tour bus.
The youngest band member tried to convince Calum this wasn't a good idea but he didn't listen to him.
It was only Luke who knew the truth.
Sick Michael was a pain in the ass to take care of.
He was an only child, a drama queen, and hated when he had to breathe through his mouth.
At first, Luke was mad at his bandmates but then when it was time to sleep and he was kind of glad he didn't have to take care of his boyfriend.
It wasn't even midnight when he got the call.
"Lukeeey," Michael whined. "I can't sleep."
"I know baby, I'm sorry." He whispered, trying not to wake up everybody else on the bus. "Did the boys give you your medication?"
"Yes." Michael groaned. "But Calum was mean to me and didn't let me play video games. Said they'd make my head hurt more."
Luke smiled. He missed his boyfriend. "He's right, Mikey. Why can't you sleep?"
"I'm hot. And sweaty. I've been in this shirt for the entire day and I smell..."
"You what?" He whispered shouted. "Let me talk to Calum."
Luke knew that even if Michael was allowed to call him Calum was next to his boyfriend.
"I don't know how you deal with him when he's sick." Calum started complaining but was shut off by an angry boyfriend.
"I don't know what you thought you agreed on when you made me sleep on a different bus than my sick boyfriend. But you better make him shower and change both his clothes and his bedding."
"Luke, chill, it's fine."
By then he probably woke up some people on his bus too but it was for the good of the team. Nobody would want Michael to skip a concert because he wasn't properly taken care of.
"It's not fucking fine, Calum. Michael used to have asthma if you remember? He has weak lungs and if you'll let him lie there in his sweat his fewer can turn into something worse."
"Oh shit, yeah I remember. Sorry."
"Just ask him what you need to do and he'll tell you." Luke sighed. "Now let me talk to him."
"Don't be mad." Michael rasped.
"You're doing this on purpose." Luke figured it out. "You're trying to get even sicker so they'd never do this again. Split us up when you're sick."
"I just want you to be here and sing me to sleep."
He could hear his boy pouting over the phone and it broke his heart.
"Call me when you'll shower and I'll sing whatever you want to you." Luke had a love-sick smile on his face that was reserved for a very special boy.
"Okay. I love you." Michael rasped and Luke couldn't wait until his boyfriend was well enough, they could fall asleep together and Michael was the one singing him to sleep.
