quarantine

'just answer him, he misses you just the same way i miss ashton' calum spoke harshly to his friend, michael, who was stuck in the same house with him for the next few months. the world, pretty much, was on a huge lockdown. michael was with calum in michael's home in la, while luke, his boyfriend, and ashton, calum's boyfriend, were in ashton's house in san diego. they had originally decided to quarantine together, but both luke and ashton ended up with a cold, so they quarantined themselves just in case.

michael rolled his eyes as he answered the fifth call that day from his boyfriend, luke. he knew the boy was hurting, especially since he was sick and just wanted his boyfriend.

'hey lu, what's going on baby?' calum snickered at the babytalk, to which michael flipped him off.

'i-i don't feel good, and i miss you.' luke was basically crying to ashton ever ten minutes about how much he missed michael, and each time ashton would direct him to talk to his boyfriend, stating 'luke, i love you, but i don't give a shit that you miss michael'

'i know, honey, we'll be able to see each other soon, i promise.'

'but what if-' luke cuts himself off with a huge sob, his body shaking, 'what if i don't get better and then i can never leave the house and you can never come see me again!' michael sighs deeply at his boyfriend, knowing he was either exhausted or in a state of fever-induced delusion, as luke wouldn't normally be so worried about these things.

'that's not gonna happen, honey. why don't we facetime? i know you're probably getting ready for bed.' it was nearly midnight now, and luke had a tendency to go to bed at around 11, though his sleep schedule was getting all messed up.

'o-okay.' luke said pitifully, waiting for michael to switch their call over to facetime. a soft beep was heard before luke's face filled michael's screen.

'hi, bubba.' luke's eyes filled and he tried smiling as best he could.

'c-can you stay with me while i get ready to sleep.' michael nodded, watching as the sick boy propped his phone on his nightstand to change. michael noticed his slow movements, frowning as he thought of how much pain he was probably in.

'baby, did you take your medicine?' luke yelled a 'yup!' from somewhere offscreen before reappearing, looking more tired and out of breath than michael had ever seen him. he smiled as luke laid in bed, bouncing around a little bit to get himself comfy.

luke looked at michael through the camera, tears welling in his eyes. all he wanted was to be able to hug his boyfriend again.

'lu, bug, please don't cry. we'll come by tomorrow and we'll talk through the glass door out back, how about that? will that make you feel a little better?' luke nodded sleepily and let his head hit the pillow, feeling more tired and sick that he had before.

'wanna hug you.' he whispered softly, falling to sleep. michael smiled and watched as the blond fell asleep, his hair practically sticking to his forehead with how hot he was, though he was cuddled up underneath the blankets.

'goodnight, luke.' michael switched off the phone, going back to watch television with calum, only to see him crying to himself.

'cal, what's wrong?'

'i called ashton, i just miss him.' michael jumped onto the couch next to him, cuddling him into his side.

'oh c'mere, you big baby, let's just watch something stupid.'

{ idk how to properly end things, but anyway all of my little!luke fics are in their own, seperate book now so if you want to read those, this book no longer holds them :) }
