MUKE one shots ♡

• you're the Michael? •

this is an alternative version to my favorite one shot in this book.

is not the one who took me the longest to write or the one you guys loved the most.

it's the one I wrote in 10 minutes and still makes me feel fuzzy.

Michael was so excited he forgot to bring a jacket with him as he walked ten minutes from his to Luke's house.

He knocked on the door and waited.

When Luke opened the door, he was laughing at something or someone. At first, he was confused to see Michael there but he noticed the guitar case on his back.

"Oh, hi Mikey. I didn't know you were coming."

"I-I'm sorry." He was still smiling because he wasn't sorry. "I-I learned a-a new song." Michael was beaming and Luke smiled too.

Then he heard a voice behind Luke and put some pieces together.

Now he was sorry.

"Oh shit, I-I forgot it-t's Wednesday." Michael felt uneasy because Wednesdays were the days Luke never came over to practice because he'd meet up with his friends.

Luke frowned. "So?"

"Y-you have y-your friends over, I-I should leave." Michael was ready to turn around but Luke pulled him back.

"Don't be stupid, Michael. Yes, they're here but you're also my friend. I'm sure they won't mind. I'm sure they'd love to hear you play." Luke looked like he wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Also, it's raining and you're only in a hoodie, come on in before you freeze."

Michael followed Luke into his house. He was here before so it was a familiar place. But meeting Luke's friends made him feel uneasy.

"Guys," Luke said once they came to the living room. Four boys stopped talking and looked at Michael. "This is Michael. We practice guitar at the same teacher."

"Hi, Michael." They all said and quickly stood up to introduce themselves.

"I'll go and get you a chair," Luke said and left Michael alone with strangers.

"So, you're the Michael?" One of them, Michael was sure his name was Ashton said.

That made him feel uneasy. He didn't know Luke's friends knew who he was. "W-what d-do you mean t-the Michael?"

"The Michael with the pretty eyes." One of them said.

"The Michael who plays the guitar better than I ever will." The other one said.

"The Michael..."

"I think that was enough." Luke interrupted and when Michael looked back, he seemed quite mad.

Michael on the other hand felt butterflies in his stomach. People at his school never said any good things about him.

But Luke was better than them.

"Do you play video games?" The pretty blonde asked him and Michael nodded.

The seats were rearranged and Michael and Luke played Calum and Ashton in FIFA.

They won and while Michael knew it was because Ashton sucked at video games, Luke said it was because he was so good.

After a while the boys finally left and made both Luke and Michael promise, they'll see the older boy again. It made him feel good, knowing Luke's friends liked him.

"Will you show me the song now?" Luke asked with a smile.

Michael bit his lip and nodded. He sat on the sofa and Luke sat right next to him even when there was plenty of space everywhere else.

He slowly started to play the first chords of You found me by The Fray. It was Luke's favorite song and Michael learned it just for him. Not that he'll ever admit.

Before he even came to the course Luke placed a hand on his cheek and when Michael stopped and looked up the beautiful boy was already leaning over and kissing him.

He stopped breathing for a second but then melted into the kiss.

Luke's lips were warm and soft and it felt as lovely as he imagined.

Because he did imagine it.

When Luke moved back Michael just stared at him.

"Play it again," Luke whispered before leaning his head on Michael's shoulder and cuddling into his side enough that he was close but not too close so the boy could play the song.

Michael smiled to himself before granting Luke's wish.
