"luke, are you alright?"

luke looked up from his ds and nodded.

michael looked at the bruise that consumed luke's eye, and another one on his jaw to match.

"hey, talk to me." michael said quietly, and sat beside luke, luke's legs on his lap.

luke sighed, and sat the ds down.

"am i embarrassing? i know i'm not really cool like you are now, but you still wanna be my friend, right?" luke asked.

"what?! of course you're not embarrassing." michael said quietly, and luke pouted, crawling over to michael, and snuggling into him.

"you're my only friend, mikey." luke whispered.

"thats okay. i'm here.." michael whispered, and ran a hand through luke's hair.

"my mom got mad. i don't know why but she was really mad." luke whispered, and looked up.

michael ran his thumb over luke's eye, and frowned a little.

"i love you, luke. you're my best friend, and i know my best friend is so strong." michael said quietly, and luke nodded.

"can i stay here? i don't wanna go home."

"of course."
