The Memories: Part One

"Hey, Mike?" Luke asked softly, causing his small boyfriend to lean his head up off of Luke's chest to look at his lover. Michael had always been much taller than Luke up until the previously shorter boys fifteenth birthday. Then he miraculously had a growth spurt and ended up being six inches taller than Michael. He had been teasing him about it ever since.

The two were seventeen now, the perfect age for life to suck and school to seem like hell. But they didn't mind too much. They had each other to make life better.

"Yeah, love?" Michael responded, still looking fondly at Luke. Michael was pretty sure he was almost more in love with Luke's nose than the boy himself. It was just so cute and boopable.

"I love you" Luke whispered, giggling as Michael blushed madly. The purple haired boy pouted and slapped Luke's chest lightly. He did not enjoy being flustered, but Luke always seemed to have that effect on him. It was almost as if Luke had been sent from the heavens to make Michael grin, make his cheeks burn a deep red.

"Quit being so fucking cute, it's making me sick" Michael whispered back, flicking Luke's nose, laughing as the blond winced and proceeded to complain for the next few minutes about how 'you never leave my nose alone, one day it's going to fall off' while Michael continued to watch Luke rant about his boyfriends childish antics.

After a bit, the two quieted down and basked in the warmth their two bodies provided. The hammock they were laying in swayed a bit, and the lovers began to feel sleepy. An old clock went off somewhere in Luke's rather silent house, marking that it was now midnight.

Michael cuddled further into Luke as his eyelids began to droop, and Luke wrapped his arms around his love, pulling their bodies impossibly closer. As Luke realized that the older boy was nearly asleep, he began to hum, attempting to help the insomniac get some much needed rest.

A small smile formed on Michael's sleepy face as he heard Luke humming one of his favorite songs. Through Luke's quiet voice he could practically hear the words in his mind.

Before you shut this down
I just wanna lift you up
I'll take all this love I've found
And I hope that it's enough

With Luke's soft voice, and the darkness and warmth of his lovers body so inviting, Michael finally closed his eyes and allowed his small body to completely relax on his boyfriend's. He let his heartbeat slow as he listened to Luke's, and fell in love a little more as Luke finished the song.

"Hey, Luke?" Michael whispered, eyes still closed and voice still quiet.

"Yeah?"

"I love you too."

The lovely song I used is called "Only Love", the acoustic version, by PVRIS. Look it up, it's beautiful.
