MUKE one shots ♡

• out of the closet •

It was a good day.

The sun was out, spring was coming and there were flowers everywhere.

It was not only a good day but Luke's favorite part of the day. After his last class finished at three, he walked over to the campus to meet his boyfriend there for a cup of tea before walking home together.

He noticed Michael in through the window immediately as he was already sitting in their usual spot.

Usually, he'd be reading a book or going through his phone as he waited for his boyfriend but not this time.

The older boy had one of his happiest faces on and it was clear he was talking to someone.

Luke was curious and as he walked into the café, he realized a beautiful girl was sitting on the seat that was usually reserved for Luke.

He walked over and stood there as the two laughed at something before the girl noticed him and smiled. Luke didn't recognize her but her staring made Michael turn around as well.

Everything was right in Luke's universe when Michael's happy face turned even happier and it was because of him.

"Hi, babe. Come sit." Michael pulled him on the seat next to him and kissed his cheek.

"Babe?" The girl asked in disbelieve. Luke's eyebrow was immediately raised as he waited for her to speak.

Because yes, he was Michael's babe.

"Michael Gordon Clifford not only out of the closet but with a fine-looking boyfriend?"

Both she and Michael started laughing and for some reason, Luke calmed down.

"I didn't know you were ever in the closet?" Luke said to Michael.

"The Michael I knew told me he'll never get out."

"Lin." The girl introduced herself to Luke and he still didn't manage to recognize either her face or the name.

"Luke." He squeezed her hand.

"Lin was my best friend before I moved here," Michael explained. "The girl with the pizza tattoo..."

"...On her ass." Luke finished and the pretty dark-haired girl gasped. "He doesn't know who I am but she knows about the tattoo?"

"Joke aside," She said. "Luke, I'm so happy I've met you. I genuinely thought Michael will never come out when he was sixteen and to see him with someone who clearly loves him a lot is just beautiful. How did you two meet?"

"I asked him out on my first day in school." Michael smiled and looked at his boy. "I decided I just wouldn't pretend anymore and the new school gave me a new opportunity."

"How awkward was he?" Lin laughed.

Luke moved even closer to Michael. "I was collecting money for charity and he asked what he'll get in return. I thought he was joking so I asked if he wanted a kiss."

Michael decided to be theatrical and played his part. "I said, at least let me take you on a date first."

When they later got home and got ready for bed, Luke climbed under the covers and kissed Michael deeply.

"What was that for?"

"I'm proud of you." Luke smiled.

Michael kissed back and showed he was proud of them too.

•••

I'm proud of all of you for surviving today and tomorrow. You're doing great and I love you!

Thoughts on this one?

Luke being a bit jelly at the beginning?

Lin? Michael in the closet?

Proud boyfriends?

Love, Lucija ♡
