Zander and Luke were often found in bed, cuddling closely together. Zander's arms and legs close to his chest, small and comforting. Luke wrapped his arms around Zander's waist, a sense of protection washing over him when he drifted. The two often found themselves doing this quite a lot, positioning themselves together in a way that benefitted both of their comforts. But of course, nothing stays like this forever.

As Luke picked up his suitcase at the door, he shared a gentle glance with Zander. "Do you have to go...? Can't I come with you even...?" Zander spoke his voice gloomy. Nothing like this has happened before, the thought of Luke going to another country for a few days scared him. What if he got hurt, then what was he supposed to do?

"Sweetie, you know I can't bring you on work trips, I'll get in trouble with my boss." Luke replied, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. It slid down the length of his arm to his hand, he held it tightly. "I'll be back, it's only a few nights, okay? Plus you have fluffy to give you all the cuddles in the world!" Luke smiled, but Zander didn't.

"It's not the same... As much as I love her, she can't cuddle me properly or tell me how much she loves me... A-And what if something happened, I wouldn't be there f-" Zander rambled, being cut off by Luke.

"Zander, look at this." Luke spoke in a soft tone, tilting his fiancé's hand upwards, revealing the ring adorning his finger. "I'm not leaving forever, how could I? You're the most amazing person I've ever met! Stubborn at times, sure. But I love everything about you. Even your insecurities." Zander hugged Luke at that, finding his last bit of hope in his embrace. "Promise you'll be back soon? ...And for a phone call when you get there...?" Zander mumbled, wanting a way to contact him right away.

"I promise, Honey. I'll call you when I go to sleep and wake up, alright?" Zander nodded to his answer, finding a sense of content in his words. They shared a long and passionate kiss before Luke left, waving goodbye at his house and fiancé.

Zander felt a part of him leave at that. His hands shaking in thought. He moved to the kitchen, trying to distract himself from the awful quietness of the house that was usually full of shouting, and at least whispers if it wasn't an option.

But, as night fell, Zander couldn't sleep. He curled himself up and tried to sleep, but with no luck. He couldn't stop thinking of Luke, and the fact he had no phone call yet. The world scared Zander, far more than he would like to admit. He always thought the worst in people; but Luke's trust brought him down from his hiatus senses.

His phone rang for a few seconds, but signal cut out before the voice of his lover could be found on the other line. He fumbled for his phone despite it being in reach, but after it cut out from signal Zander started sobbing, and started burying his face in their quilt. He wanted his beloved back, for him to be held once again. His breathing steadied, as he drifted off into slumber...
