"Luke please."
The taller man just shook his head and looked away from his boyfriend.
"For the love of God." Michael crossed the small prison cell they had shared for the past year and a half. The cell they fell in love again or better said rediscovered their unconditional love for each other.
Michael hugged Luke from behind and held him close as the younger man began to tear up.
Michael was trying really hard to restrain himself from starting to jell at Luke. He was almost as mad as the day Calum told him Luke rejected to be released early due to good behavior. He called Michael insane if he thought he'd prefer being free over being locked up with him. After Michael's uncle was sent to jail both Michael and Luke lived a more carefree and happier life.
As much as you can live that lifestyle from behind the bars.
"Look, babe. I know you're sad but you'll visit me all the time. It's only four more months or even less if they'll think I behaved as good as you did."
Finally, Luke turned around and looked at his boyfriend. "But I'll miss you."
Michael fixed his hair. He couldn't wait to see Luke with a decent haircut and in his skinny jeans again when he'd come and visit him.
"I know you will. I'll miss you too. We've been through so much and we deserve an eternity together and we'll get it. Just not today or tomorrow."
Michael pulled Luke down so he could kiss him. Guards got used to seeing them make out all the time so they stopped carrying. Better that than fighting.
"You promise you'll wait for me?" Luke asked all serious and Michael couldn't help himself. He started laughing so hard his eyes teared up.
He couldn't believe that Luke, his Luke, a grown-up man with the IQ above 170 was asking such stupidities.
"I'm pretty sure the chances of me meeting someone hotter than you in this prison are close to zero. I should be worried about you. My hot boyfriend, a sex maniac in the outside world surrounded by thousands of horny men..."
Luke started giggling and Michael hugged him just a bit tighter.
"I know it won't be easy but we'll survive. Just remember our plans for when I get out."
Luke inhaled deeply Michael's scent and tried to memorize it.
"It's all I'll think about."
"Good, we should get over what you have to do again."
The younger man whined. "I have it all written down Michael. Why are you torturing me?"
Michael looked at Luke and started blinking too much and jutted his bottom lip out. "Please baby? For me."
Luke huffed and walked to the table where his belongings where gathered up. He was still in his orange suit but Mali and Calum brought him some clean clothes that should still fit him.
"So let's see." He picked the piece of paper up and started reading. "First I need to spend a week with my family and my family only. The only other contact I'm allowed is the two visits to see my boyfriend and a visit at the Hood's law offices to settle my legal things out."
Michael nodded approvingly when Luke looked at him.
"After a week I should collect all of mine, my boyfriend's and his mother's belongings and bring them home. Also, I need to start looking for a small, cozy apartment that will serve as our home in our homeland-"
"And?" Michael interrupted.
Luke shook his head. He still didn't approve of this. "I'll pay for it with the money I'll get from selling my boyfriend's share of the casino. Half of the money will be donated to different charities immediately and a part of it will go to my family, part to the Hood law firm and a part to this prison so the prisoners left behind will get a decent gym."
"And then?"
Luke sighed. "And then I'll patiently wait for my boyfriend to come home to me and we'll travel for a year and then move somewhere, possibly Europe and spend the rest of our lives fucking."
Michael chuckled. "Love your plan but you need to add something to the buy list."
"Michael I know you don't want all that money but maybe you should think about like investing it or something."
"I am investing it. Write this down."
"You'll go to some very expensive jewelry store and buy the ring you like the most. The price doesn't matter."
Luke was confused. He wrote the words down and looked at Michael.
"Why would I do that?"
"So I'll be able to propose to you the moment I get out of this hell hole."
The pen Luke was holding fell to the floor and he seemed lost for words.
"Michael-"
"You told me yourself that you hate your last name. And it's not just that. I wanted to marry you from the moment I fell in love with you. You're my family, my home and the love of my life."
Luke closed the distance between them and hugged his fiancé-to-be. "I love you."
"I love you too, baby

"Hello."
Michael rolled around on his bunk bed and saw a curly haired guy with a huge smile on his face.
"I'm Ashton. Your new roommate."
Michael couldn't believe it. He knew there were many empty cells in the prison but Luke didn't even leave a week ago and they already stuck someone in the cell with him.
"I don't think roommate is the correct expression."
Michael stood up and walked over to take the offered hand. "I'm Michael."
"I could guess that."
"Why's that?"
Ashton looked a bit annoying but Michael wasn't one to judge people based on the first opinion.
"I mean there's a huge sign on the wall behind you that says Luke and Michael so I presumed you were either Luke or you know. Michael."
Michael smiled. He might just like this guy.
"So." Ashton sat down on the free chair. "Who's Luke?"
Michael walked back to his bed. "It's a long story."
"Oh right. I definitely don't have time for it today, but maybe tomorrow?" Ashton joked.
Michael gave it a thought. He never really told his and Luke's love story to anyone.
"Well, I used to work at this casino..."

If you don't keep up with the dates this was a year later when Luke got released. (:
Thoughts?
Luke leaving?
Michael's proposal plan?
Ashton?
Love, Lucija♡
