calum and luke made up fairly quick, like normal. neither boy could stay mad at the other. to make up for being an asshole, calum took luke out that saturday to get lunch and pick whatever he wanted from the mall.

even if money was tight, he would always spoil luke.

"where do you want to stop first?" calum asked as he pulled into the parking lot, finding a decent spot.

"can we look at h&m please?" luke asked, fiddling with his fingers. he hated going shopping, only for the reason that he was afraid people would judge him on what he chose.

calum led the way, his hand holding on to luke's tightly so he didn't lose him. once they got into the store, he let luke do his own thing. he scanned over the racks of clothes, his hands trailing over the hangers.

"oh cal look at this," luke said as he picked up a very light pink sweater that had a ripped look to it. calum smiled as he heard the excitement in his voice.

"that'll look cute on you," calum whispered, moving his hand to his waist. this action made luke blush but he shook it off by placing the clothing on his arm.

they continued to look around for awhile before luke tried on the clothes. calum had made sure to pick out a few things for him to try on just because.

between every outfit, he would come out of the dressing room and show calum to get his approval. nothing looked bad on him, he was perfect.

luke hugged loudly as he tried on a white turtle neck, crossing his arms as he walked out.

"i feel ugly," luke grumbled. calum examined the shirt and shrugged.

"i think it looks nice on you," he stated, hating when luke got self conscious because it took a lot of convincing to show him different.

the small blonde shook his head and went back into the dressing room to change back into his normal clothes. he grabbed the pink sweater and another shirt, placing the others he didn't want on the 'didnt fit' rack.

calum stood up, following him out as he walked close beside him. luke may have been small, but he walked extremely fast.

the two boys checked out and calum gave the lady his credit card quickly before luke could reach to pay.

luke decided he didn't need anything else, so they headed back to calum's apartment.

when they got into the apartment, they went into calum's bed. calum laid down on his back and luke sat beside him, playing with his fingers.

"hey luke," calum said, luke humming in response.

"i like you," the older boy began but luke cut him off by giggling.

"i would hope so, we're always together and you're my best friend," luke said, placing his hand up against the tan boy's to compare sizing.

"i meant the other way," calum laughed before sitting up. he leaned over and pressed his lips against luke's. luke kissed back gently, not wanting to ruin the moment.

when they pulled away luke smiled, "obviously i like you like that too."

calum's head was in the clouds, he was so happy even though it should have been quite obvious they both felt the same.
