A/N: This is somewhat of a sequel to Day four. Unless I say in other chapters are in between the two, this event happens after day four.
DAY FIVE: KISSING
Luke sat in a bed, clutching his pillow to his chest. His eyes were half lidded and foggy in thought. He stared at the wall, biting his lip in an attempt to release his frustration on something other than the pillow as he recalled what had made him run to Flora's apartment.
He and Clive had been going out for three months since their first date, but Luke still refused to kiss Clive. Luke had thought about it, but Clive had always said to only kiss him when he was sure. Today, Luke was sure to do it. And instead of waking Clive up for it, he had left a note for Clive to meet him at the park. Luke had waited and waited, and soon he spotted Clive. He approached him but stopped as a girl game near him.
"U-um excuse me, can you show me around? I'm not used to this part of town." She asked. Clive checked his watch, and with a blush Luke realized he woke up earlier than Luke had expected.
"Sure Miss." Clive replied, with a charming smile.
Luke then decided to follow the two, not realizing it was…odd. The duo was now by a fountain at the park, having gotten to know each other, they began talking.
"So, Clive do you have a girlfriend?" Clive shook his head. "…How about a boyfriend?" Something cold was in Clive's eyes, but it soon disappeared as he smile came onto his face.
"No."
Luke watched in horror as the girl asked if Clive would go on a date with her, however Clive didn't get a chance to respond. Luke made himself known and walked up to Clive. Clive stared at him confused, not understanding why Luke was here, since their meeting place was elsewhere. Luke kept a straight face, putting on a cute smile.
"There you are Clive! You forgot something at the apartment." Luke did not slap him, like he desperately wanted to, instead, he handed Clive his copy of the apartment keys.
"I found a nice place to stay! You don't have to worry 'bout me bothering you anymore!" Clive stared at the key, until Luke finished speaking. His eyes widened as he had snapped up a Look of horror on his face. As Clive tried to process what was happening Luke turned to the girl.
"Have a nice day with him miss." The girl Blushed at Luke's politeness, and as Luke turned he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Luke-"
"Really Clive, I promise not to bother you." Luke looked over at Clive with watery eyes and a small smile. Clive flinched back, and Luke used this to get away, ignoring the other's calls when he realized Luke was leaving.
Luke sighed and got up, heading to the kitchen. Flora stood there, her hair Put in a Bun.
"Luke?" She asked, turning. Luke felt his emotions welling up at her concerned look and his held back tears began falling. Flora instantly ran over to comfort him, and embraced him in a close hug, gently rubbing his back. Luke hugged her back, his arms gripping tightly to the back of her dress.
"S'kay, I'm here.." Flora murmured. Luke had really missed her hugs, it always gave him a familiar feeling of family. Luke's sobs began dying off, but then a loud knock disrupted the two.
"Flora?! Have you seen Luke?!" Clive's voice sounded troubled on the other end. Flora looked at Luke and back at the door. Protectively pushing Luke behind her, she opened the door a bit. Clive distressed face instantly looked down at Flora, and his hand stopped knocking.
"You're going to wake up the other tenants." Flora said in a neutral tone.
"I could care less!" Clive yelled, surprising Luke. Flora was going to speak, probably negatively due to her new glare. Luke gently tapped her shoulder, earning Clive's attention.
"Let him in please." He whispered quietly. Flora's look softened, and stepped aside. Clive walked in and Looked at Luke in silence, Luke stared back. Flora quietly Left the two.
"Luke-"
Luke quietly walked up to Clive and raised himself a bit. Clive looked at him confused, and a few stay tears ran down Luke's face. With two hands, he gently grabbed Clive's head and leaned forward. Their lips inches apart, Luke heard Clive's breathing hitch. Luke then leaned closer and gently kissed Clive, the rest of his unwanted tears falling. As they parted, Clive looked at Luke with a flustered look, and surprise. Luke wrapped his arms around Clive. He didn't know what to say, to tell Clive he loved him, that he never wanted to leave his side, but only one thing left his lips.
"I'm your boyfriend, okay?"
And Clive hugged back.
