michael crouched outside luke's window, waiting for him to open it. he smiled at the familiar sound it made when it clicked in place.

"hey," michael said, smiling.

"hi," luke said at the same time.

michael chuckled. "is it hi or hey?"

luke rolled his eyes at the stupid band reference. "you know i hate that band."

"but three seconds down is great. and the members are hot as crap."

"what about me?" luke asked, teasing.

"oh, this is my list of hot guys, in order:

luke hemmings, austin irvin, calvin hoodie, niall horan. and also dylan o'brien."

"amazing."

"yeah. so what did your mom say?" michael asked, grabbing luke's hand.

he shrugged. "she said she always suspected that i was gay. she just never expected to be right."

michael nodded. "is that all? is she mad at me?"

"no. but she did ask me why i like you."

"and what did you say?"

"i asked her why she loved the stars."

guys, have you gotten three seconds down's new ep? it's called bad boys. so pop punk.
