Matthew Grey Grubber = chest pains.

Michael groans loudly, waking Luke up in the process. "We didn't fuck last night did we?" the pale boy questions, the pain in his lower back and head making him cringe.

Luke chuckles tiredly. "No sweetheart we didn't. You just happen to strip in your sleep" Michael groans again, even louder and more dramatically than last time, making Luke turn around and look at his boyfriend.

"I didn't know you got new gear," Luke hums as he reaches out to play with the fluffy white ear that sat on Michael's head. A loud purr fills the room, making Luke frown. "I didn't know you could you that either."

"I didn't get new gear." the green eyed boy mumbles, not seeming dazed by the sound before climbing out of bed.

Luke smirks as he watches his boyfriend, eyeing his ass before his eyes slowing drifted upwards. The blonde male's eyes widen in shock.

After relieving himself, Michael tiredly splashes cold water onto his face to wake himself up a bit more.

"Luke can you please star-" Michael stops mid-sentence when he looks in the mirror, his jaw dropping when he sees the two triangles sitting on top of his head. Slowly Michael turns around, his small hand slapping over his mouth.

He was high right? Or this was a game, Luke playing a trick on him.

"Holy fuck Luke, get your ass here right now!"

Michael waits with his arms crossed as Luke slowly walks into the bathroom, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "Yeah?"

"What the fuck is this!"

The shock and fear that shone in Michael's eyes make Luke's heart brake. "I-I don't know sweetheart." Luke sighs as he walks over to the frightened boy and gently touched the fluffy white tail, frowning when Michael flinched slightly.

"I don't understand. This isn't possible." Michael mumbles to himself as he watches Luke touch his tail before reaching up to touch his ears. "On the plus side, you look cute as fuck." the blonde jokes, attempting to lighten the mood.

Michael gives a small smile before frowning again. "D-Do you think this had something to do with the person who was taking photos of me?" Luke stops his touching and looks down at the smaller male. Luke hadn't thought of that. "I don't know baby but we'll figure something out."

Michael nods before whimpering as he pulls Luke into a tight hug. "P-Please don't leave me, I don't wanna be alone." Luke chuckles, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. "You're not alone, you're with me okay? I love you yeah and I'm not leaving."

Michael sniffles, lifting his head to look at Luke before kissing the blonde's cheek. "C'mon, let's get you dressed."

"Um Luke, how am I meant to put pants on?" Michael questions the taller male as he follows Luke back into the bedroom. Luke shrugs as he digs through Michael's messy wardrobe. "I don't know babe, wrap it around your waist or something."

Michael huffs at Luke's unhelpful words before tugging on the sweatpants Luke through at him.

For the rest of the day, the couple just cuddled in a blanket fort Michael had built. During the year Luke had been dating Michael, the blonde learnt that whenever the smaller boy was feeling sad or insecure he would built a blanket fort and stay in there. Only submerging if necessary.

"Do you wanna go have a shower?" Luke questions his boyfriend quietly, not wanting to destroy the comfortable silence that surrounded them. Michael nods tiredly, it was only seven thirty but the excitement (if you could call it that) of today had tired him out.

Luke helped Michael up before leading him into the bathroom, stripping them both before turning on the water. The sudden sound of the rushing water made Michael jump and cower away.

"What's up baby?" Luke questions as he eyes his boyfriend. Michael shrugs. "I-I don't know. Cats don't like water right? So maybe that has something to do with it."

Luke hums, thinking for a minute before his electric blue eyes widen. "I've got an idea."

"C'mon baby, you look fine." Luke sighs with a silly grin.

Luke hears Michael huff before walking into the bathroom, his lips in a pout and arms crossed over his bare chest. "I fucking hate you."

Luke giggles at the sigh of the small boy, the clear shower cap covering his head and ears. "Hey, it's better than getting your ears wet."

The pale boy groans but nods in agreement. "Yeah yeah I know. Now let's shower so I can take this thing off." Luke smiles before pulling Michael into the running shower, sighing at the warm water cascading down his body.

Once both males were washed, Luke helped Michael out of the shower and begun to dry him cutely, giggling every time the older male whined about how his tail was wet. 

"I've gotta work tomorrow." Luke murmurs lowly as he and Michael cuddled in their blanket fort once more.

After they had gotten dressed, Michael insisted that they made some hot chocolate and returned to their fort. Michael hums, turning his head to kiss Luke's shirt covered chest. "I'll be okay Luke."

"You sure?" Luke questions. After everything that had happened to his smaller boy in the past few weeks he was scared to leave him alone again.

"If it makes you feel better I'll come with you. I can wear a beanie to hide these things." the pale boy says as he tugs at one of his kitten ears. "That would make me feel a lot better". Luke hums as he kisses Michael's chubby cheek gently.
