luke was beyond stressed - michael could tell. he looked extremely tired, he wasn't talking much, and when he did talk he was really snappy.

michael was a little worried, not only because luke acting harsh towards him, but because he was afraid luke would crash at any moment and it wouldn't be good.

michael and luke were sitting in the living room. mike on the couch watching tv, and luke sitting on the floor working on some songs.

michael would occasionally glance over at his boyfriend, making note of his furrowed eyebrows, and the way his shoulders were slumped forward.

by the third episode of how i met your mother - which luke would usually be watching - the blond boy let out a frustrated sigh, crumpling up the sheet of paper he was writing on. michael looked at him, seeing his pretty blue eyes filling with frustrated tears. michael knew he worked hard, but he could tell that luke was about to reach his limit.

"luke? baby, c'mere," michael cooed, pulling back his pale blue blanket so luke could come sit under it with him.

luke didn't even look up, shaking his head. "i have to finish this song, michael. i keep messing up and it needs to be perfect," luke mumbled, doing his cute little nose scratch that michael loved. this time though, he knew luke was trying his hardest not to cry, and it made him pretty upset.

"the song can wait, lukey. just come sit up here with me for a little bit, alright?"

michael's offer was so tempting. luke knew he was going to eventually give in anyways - michael was just persuasive like that - so he just agreed right away.

heaving out a sigh, he got up and walked to the couch, where michael was waiting with a huge grin on his face.

luke sat down between michael's legs, resting his chin on the palm of his hand. michael leaned forward, pressing his lips to the back of luke's neck.

"you need to relax, babe. it's not good for you to be working so hard. i'm worried about you. you're not getting enough rest," michael quietly said, his breath tickling luke's skin and making the younger of the two shiver. michael smirked.

"i want to get everything done on time. we have a deadline, and i want to make sure we reach it," luke argued.

"just relax for a little bit. you can work again tomorrow. your health is a lot more important right now. i'm sure no one will mind," michael coaxed, placing his hands on luke's shoulders and beginning to rub them.

luke's shoulders relaxed and he put his hands in his lap, giving into michael. he loved when michael rubbed his shoulders, and michael knew that.

"you're so tense, babe," michael commented, digging his thumb into the spot between luke's shoulder blades, making the younger boy groan under his breath.

michael just smiled in satisfaction, seeing that luke's head began to droop forward. he knew within minutes he would be completely out.

he, of course, was right; luke's head was hung low and quiet snores were coming from him. michael leaned forward and wrapped his arms around luke's shoulders, slowly pulling him back against his chest, as not to wake him up.

pressing a small kiss to the top of luke's head, michael relaxed into the couch with a smile, proud of his work.
