Different

   Michael was acting different, he wasn't being himself.

Ever since the night of their first official date, the blonde-haired male had seemed a bit skittish; paranoid.

Luke had been the first to notice it when he came in to let the three boys know that breakfast was ready.

Michael was sitting on the couch, he sat next to Ashton and across from Calum. The three boys were watching whatever was on the tv. More so, Calum and Ashton were talking about work while Michael was in his own little space.

It took five minutes to bring Michael out of his chaotic thoughts.

The two older men were setting the table.

At first, Luke thought maybe the boy was just in his own world, but after calling out to him three times and even touching his shoulder; Michael didn't react.

Luke was worrying, he hadn't seen Michael like this before and he didn't know what to do. 

The pastel boy had to think fast before the others noticed anything.

"Are you boy's coming to join us anytime soon?" Ashton called out from the dining area.

"U-Uh yes? J-Just a moment" Luke stuttered, he looked around the living room to see if there was anything that could possibly help. 

Luke sighed out, there was nothing he could think of. If Michael didn't budge by just the pastel boy calling his name and touching him, then what could bring him out.

Luke panicked, he didn't like not knowing what to do, he always had a solution for everything.

The pastel boy thought for a moment more before something hit him, it was a stretch, but maybe it would work.

Luke leaned in closer to Michael, no movement - the boy wasn't even blinking.

Softly, Luke's lips touched that of the blonde boys and just like that, Michael was brought back to earth as if Luke's lips were some magnetic field. 

The pastel boy slowly pulled away, only for the two older boys to be standing in the living room yet again.

"Hey, no fair! I want a kiss too." Ashton pouted, the Maori hit his arm as he smiled at the younger two.

The two younger boy's cheeks were red from the stares.

"Come on loves, let's eat breakfast."

And just like that, Michael was pulled back to his loving reality.

The blonde shook his head, he wondered why he worried so much when he knew that these three boys wouldn't let anything happen to him. 

Sadly there lovely time had to be put on hold as this thing called 'Adulthood' hit the boys. 

After breakfast, everyone got changed and cleaned up before heading there separate ways.

Of course, not before one final kiss for the day.

To say the boys were in the bliss of a state was an understatement, the four boys had never felt so happy in their lives. 

It's like those missing pieces of a puzzle had finally been found and put together to make one beautiful sunset puzzle. 

Something that was beautiful together, but if you take away just one piece then everything is uncomplete and not as pretty.
