Luke tried to be as quiet as possible when he prepared breakfast for Michael.

His boyfriend worked nights and to Luke's request he woke him up at six am when he got home so they could cuddle. In reality, they kissed for thirty seconds before Michael passed out, but that was enough for the blue-eyed boy.

When Michael was asleep Luke would go out and try to find a job, go to the library to educate himself and even volunteered at animal shelters to pass the time and feel useful.

He also made Michael breakfast every day when he woke up but that happened to be after two in the afternoon.

Now he wasn't good at cooking, he wasn't even decent. They never let them cook in the orphanage so the breakfast was usually Nutella or a cheaper version of it on bread, Luke also made good peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

And even if it was just a ham sandwich Michael loved it and thanked him with billions of kisses.

But today was a special day so Luke wanted to do something nice for Michael. For the past two months, he worked extra hours just so he could feed them both and Luke appreciated it more than he could ever say or show it.

He found a recipe in a magazine at the library and the lovely lady there made him a copy of it for free.

Since the kitchen was in the same room as their bed, he had to be extremely quiet but luckily for Luke, Michael was a deep sleeper.

He made scrambled eggs and even toasted the bread. Somehow, he managed to crack the secret or making a good cup of coffee and once he was satisfied, he arranged everything onto a big chopping board that could pass as a tray.

"Baby," Luke whispered and kissed Michael's cheek.

The older boy opened his eyes and smiled. He kissed his boyfriend before stretching out his limbs.

Six am cuddles and three pm kisses were Luke's favorite.

"Do I smell coffee?" Michael asked, suddenly a lot more awake than seconds before.

Luke giggled and nodded before showing Michael what he prepared for him.

"Lukey," He awed. "I don't deserve you."

"Nah-uh." Luke pouted. "You deserve everything."

Without complaints, he dug into his food.

"What's the occasion?" Michael asked with his mouth full.

His boyfriend smiled. "I got a job."

The older boy didn't say anything but he didn't have to. His smile said it all.

"I'll work evenings at the animal shelter." Michael smiled even harder because he knew how much Luke loved animals. "And in the mornings when you'll sleep, I'll go to school. I want to finish high school."

"I'm so proud."

Luke smiled. "It's all because of you."

Michael shook his head. "It's because of you. You're your own person and you're incredible."

Luke leaned forward and kissed his boyfriend.

"You're incredible too."

And just because they were alone in this world, they were alone together.

I just needed an ending they deserved.

Thoughts?

Luke making his boy breakfast? Him getting a job and going back to school?

Making taking care of him? (this time in a financial, not a sexual way, who knew...)

also... what do we think about the penguin one shot? should i write it? (''':

Love, Lucija ♡
