luke 👨‍❤️‍👨👄: what do you want me to do?

michael: can you like sing me to sleep or something

michael: i've heard you sing before

michael: i love your voice

luke 👨‍❤️‍👨👄: um,, sure i guess

incoming call from luke 👨‍❤️‍👨👄

michael stares into outer space for a few seconds and finally answers the call.

"i'm not gonna turn on my camera because i look like trash right now since it's like 4 am," luke says.

"i bet you don't, you never look like trash."

"i might not look as ugly when i'm at school, but once i get home, i turn into a piece of trash."

michael frowns, he shrieks once he hears thunder clap down from the sky. he starts cuddling with his blanket, wanting to hide his feared expression from luke.

"you don't understand how much i hate storms," michael sighs, covering his blushing face with his hands.

"i used to be afraid of storms, but i don't know. i guess i got used to it."

"i wish i can get rid of my fear of storms, but i somehow can't."

"it'll be fine, you'll probably get over it soon. um, what song do you want me to sing?"

"talk me down by troye sivan. do you know that song?" 

"yeah, i love that song, one of my favourites."

"uh, can you sing it for me?" michael cringes from his awkwardness, "sorry for being so awkward, i'm not very good with talking to people."

luke chuckles, "it's fine, so am i. alright," he coughs and begins, 

"i wanna sleep next to you

but that's all i wanna do right now
and i wanna come home to you
but home is just a room full of my safest sounds
cause you know that i can't trust myself with my 3AM shadow
i'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone

i wanna sleep next to you
but that's all i wanna do right now
so come over now and talk me down

i wanna hold hands with you
but that's all i wanna do right now
and i wanna get close to you
cause your hands and lips still know their way around
and i know i like to draw that line, when it starts to get too real
but the less time that i spend with you, the less you need to heal

i wanna sleep next to you
but that's all i wanna do right now
so come over now and talk me down

so if you don't mind, i'll walk that line
stuck on the bridge between us
gray areas and expectations
but i'm not the one if we're honest, yeah
but i wanna sleep next to you
and i wanna come home to you
i wanna hold hands with you
i wanna be close to you

but i wanna sleep next to you
and that's all i wanna do right now
and i wanna come home to you
but home is just a room full of my safest sounds
so come over now and talk me down."

luke accidentally turned on his camera in the middle of the song, not realizing that michael could see him. michael was staring at his beautiful face the whole time, his eyes were closed and his cheeks were tinted with pink. he opened his eyes and realized that he was on camera the whole time.

"oh my god, i didn't realize that my camera was on the whole time. sorry that you had to look at a piece of trash," luke said, turning off his camera.

"you're beautiful shut up. also that was incredible, i wish i could illegally download that whole cover."

luke laughed, "maybe."

they spent the rest of the night talking about random stuff, luke was talking about the time he almost got lost in the woods. in the middle of it, michael fell asleep so luke stopped talking and smiled at the asleep boy. luke didn't end the call, hoping that the boy charged his phone.
