Michael's pov
I slowly fluttered my eyes open to see luke underneath me, my head obviously rested on his chest. our legs were tangled, and my breath was caught in my throat.
I looked over to see Calum and Ashton also sleeping, but not like me and luke. I felt my cheeks heat up, and all I wanted to do was wrap myself in my bed sheets.
I tried to get up, but of coarse, luke woke up, he's so cute with tired eyes.
"Mikey?" luke asked in a deep morning raspy voice, to be honest it was hot.
"go back to sleep luke," I replied.
"w-where are you going?"
"to my room?"
"can...can I come?" luke asked.
I furrowed my eyebrows, "you wanna come to bed, with me?"
luke nodded holding his long arms out so I could help him up. I couldn't resist so, I helped him up all the way to my room, laying him on the right side of my bed. he fell asleep almost instantly.
I looked down at luke and smiled lightly, I can't process luke being in my bed. I can't process luke at all. he doesn't seem real, yet he is, he cares about me?
I slowly slipped under the covers next to luke and turned my back towards him, I felt fully awake now, I felt my whole body heat up as I felt a fingertip trace my clothed back.
I turned and looked at luke who had teary eyes, who was slowly tracing my back and shoulders again.
"why?" he said weakly.
"luke go back to bed," I whispered to him softly.
"I'm not tired anymore," he replied.
I groaned and turned my whole body around to where luke couldn't see my back. the feeling of Luke's touch makes me weak, lose my breath, freeze.
"Michael," he wined, "tell me."
"tell you what?"
luke furrowed his eyebrows at me and scrunched his nose, it was adorable, but he seems so sweet and innocent when he's tired. like a little boy.
"I'll tell you when you get some rest."
luke nodded lazily and snuggled into my chest, "only if you cuddle me."
"okay," I breathed out, wrapping my arms around Luke's torso.
it seems like I'd be the one cuddled into Luke's chest, his arms wrapped around my torso, him whispering sweet nothings in my ear, sweet kisses. but that will never happen, luke will never want me.
-
luke was following me around the house like a little puppy, begging for me to tell him about all the scars and bruises on my back. I wish Calum and Ashton were here, but no, they had to go out and do whatever they were doing, leaving me and luke here alone.
"Ashton told you to look after me, not annoy me luke."
luke frowned and hit me upside the head, "don't be mean, why does he want me to look after you anyways?"
I shrugged, "non of your business."
"buuut it is my business, I should know why I'm looking after you. you are old enough to look after yourself."
"I am," I replied, "but maybe I'm just not strong enough?"
"from who? Dillon?"
"no," I said quickly, "and don't say a word about that to ashton."
"then who?" luke raised his voice, "cause I won't let anyone hurt you again."
"but what if you hurt me one day?"
luke shook his head and grabbed my hand, "I won't ever hurt you, nor will I let anyone else hurt you, but in order to do that I need to know who and why."
"maybe I'm not ready?" I told luke.
"well," luke sighed, "whenever your ready, I'm here."
