Pretty || cake

you make me feel pretty

Sunday afternoon, neither boys had moved from Luke's bed and had no real plan to. Jack and Alex had both left (neither admitting to their encounters last night, though Luke knew he would get every detail later) to go to a waffle house together across town. Calum and Luke had done nothing but occasionally switch positions to get more comfortable, but always within each other's touch.

Now, Calum was laying on his back and Luke laid on top of him, his ear on his chest. Calum's hand carded through Luke's hair slowly and Luke feels himself slipping out of reality and into a sort of sub mind where everything was perfect as it was, with Calum where he was and Luke where he was. Luke's never felt this way, especially not around any partner of his. This was different and special and absolutely terrifying.

Luke isn't really tired anymore.

"Calum?"

Calum's chest hummed as he answered. "Hm?"

"How do you feel about me?" Luke felt like he was walking on eggshells because relationships (though he's been in one long enough) aren't really his style or his most comfortable subject, "Like, I think I know how I feel about you. I'm just curious, I don't know, oh shit this sounds really stupi--"

"You make me feel really weird. Like its okay to be weird? Its a weird feeling I get when I see you, like everything in my body just feels really high and weightless and breathless and it feels like a punch to the gut when I look at how pretty you are and how I'm not. When I hear you talk my body just feels buzzed and excited and jumpy. You don't make me feel one way, princess, you make me feel ten different ways at the same time and I think that's the best way to feel."

Calum was quiet after that and he didn't know what else to say because Luke wasn't saying anything either. They were stuck in a perpetual silence until Calum broke it.

"I guess I don't really know how I feel about you because none of that made complete sense, but then again, I don't really make total sense so that's an answer you should really have expected."

"Nothing could've made me expect that." Luke choked, his velvet voice barely above a whisper and cracked like a mirror. Luke didn't know how to respond or what to even think because no one in his life had ever expressed that much adoration to him. It was foreign to Luke. The only thing he'd known to do was cry a little and he hoped to God that Calum couldn't feel the tears on his chest.

"Are you crying? Please tell me you aren't crying." Calum begged, tilting up Luke's chin and meeting his watery eyes.

"I'm sorry." Luke apologized, more tears rolling down his cheeks and landing on Calum's chest.

Calum didn't know what to do other than kiss him. Luke tasted like tears and Calum tasted like. . . Calum.

"I didn't mean to make you cry." Calum said, his lips just brushing Luke's. Luke wasn't crying anymore, now he felt on top of the world because sharing the same air and touching the lips of someone like Calum has that affect on him.

The raven haired boy connected their lips again and then they were back in a little air tight, worry free love bubble. Luke pulled on Calum's lip rings with his teeth and Calum moaned, pulling the blonde's hair.

"Shit." The older boy groaned as the younger ground his hips into his partner's. Their semi hard ons pressed together and Calum bit his lip.

Luke pressed their lips together again, mixing breaths when they pulled apart.

"Is it okay if we stop here?" Luke asked, his eyes flickering around the room, anywhere but the Kiwi boy's dark ones.

"Luke. Luke, look at me." Calum cupped Luke's chin and pulled him close, their noses bumping, "You never, ever have to be ashamed to ask to stop. I'll do whatever you want. Its your choice, okay?"

Luke didn't trust his voice so he nodded and rolled off of Calum and onto his back, his left arm touching Calum's right.

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you feel about me?" Calum was scared of Luke's answer.

"You make me feel pretty."
