forget what you thought

Michael smiled slightly as he examined Melody, his fingers running through her hair gently. "Good night, Mel," he whispered, seeing as she was relaxing and he didn't want to disturb her, figuring she was tired and she deserved to rest. "Sweet dreams. I love you." Shifting, he kissed the top of her head gently, pulling the blanket over them gently to make sure she stayed warm.

Liana relaxed with the mention of it, loving hearing it, loving knowing that he was there, that she had somebody as amazing as Luke, somebody who loved her so much, somebody who she loved just as much in return. Breathing out quietly, she could feel herself drifting off. "You're the love of my life, too," she murmured, though she drifted off not long after.

Melody made a small noise of content as she woke up the next morning, still laying in Michael's arms. To say she had a good night was an understatement, and smiling with the thought, Mel shifted, wanting to be careful in case she woke up the sleeping man underneath her, laughing quietly as he snored. Studying him, Mel bit her lip, running her fingers through his hair lovingly, just taking him in, how perfect he was in the morning. "God, look at you." She murmured.

Luke woke up before his six am alarm, and he'd switched it off so it wouldn't disturb Liana. Luke had slept soundly all night, just having Liana so close had brought him so much comfort. Hearing her breathing, feeling her shift every so often in his embrace, Luke loved every moment of it and admitted to himself that he was excited to do this every night and every morning until the day he died, because the fact Liana was his was just the biggest blessing. Running his fingers through Liana's hair as she slept, Luke sung quietly, smiling down at her.

Michael had held Melody close throughout the night, comforted by her presence in his arms, grateful to know that she was there, safe. It was how he wanted every night to be for them, even if he knew they couldn't have that every night just yet. It made him eager for the future they would have together, though, because he knew that every night with her in his arms, every morning he woke up to her, would be the best moments of his life. When he heard her voice, though, he blinked his eyes open as he woke up and he smiled slightly, watching her, and he drew her closer, sliding his arms around her. "Waking up to you is the best thing ever," he murmured quietly, rubbing her back gently.

Liana couldn't believe how easily she had fallen asleep the night before or the fact that she hadn't been disturbed through the night, finding her sleep that night, in Luke's arms, to be the best she'd ever had. Feeling Luke's fingers through her hair, hearing him singing, she felt herself stir, but she shifted closer to him, pressing her face to his chest, taking in his scent happily as she slowly woke. "I didn't know you could sing," she murmured happily, not moving from where she was. "Good morning."

Melody smiled as Michael stirred, knowing she had time to rest within his embrace for a little longer. As he slid his arms around her, Mel's smile softened, relaxing against Michael's chest as she listened to his voice, still heavy with sleep. "Waking up to you was the best thing ever." She replied with a smile, excited to know that one day, she would be able to wake up every morning this way, and hopefully, that day wasn't too far away. Graduation was only six months away. "How did you sleep?" She asked gently.

Luke smiled as Liana began to stir, shifting closer to him, if that was even possible. When she pressed her face to his chest, Luke rubbed her back gently, pressing a kiss to the top of her head, just taking in the scent of her shampoo, taking in the sound of her voice, still laced with sleep. "One of my hidden talents." He told her gently, smiling despite himself. "Good morning, baby. How did you sleep?" He asked, wanting to ensure she had slept the best she could, because Luke knew, he just knew, that this is where his future - their future - was headed, and he looked forward to every moment.

Michael chuckled gently to her words, happy to have her there. He wasn't normally a morning person but if he got to wake up to Melody every day, he swore becoming a morning person would be worth it. "I slept amazingly. I swear, having you here made all the difference, I've never slept that great before," he murmured, lifting a hand to run his fingers through her hair. "How'd you sleep, babe?"

"Full of surprises, aren't you?" Liana murmured teasingly, grinning to herself, just loving being there with him, loving being in his arms, going to sleep next to him, waking up next to him, all of it. Shifting, she peered up at him, moving to press her forehead to his jaw. "I had the best night of sleep of my life. How did you sleep?"

Melody smiled with Michael's words, looking to him happily. He truly looked like a vision in the morning, his eyes still half-closed with sleep, his smile groggy, but still genuine. "I'm glad." She told him, squeezing around him happily as his fingers ran through her hair, relaxing her further. "I slept amazingly." She admitted. "Best night's sleep I've ever had." She sat up to press a kiss to Michael's lips.

Luke chuckled with Liana's words. "I am," he confirmed jokingly, gently squeezing around her, wanting to bring her comfort. As she shifted, Luke smiled, just loving having Liana so close, and he swore, that waking up like this with her every morning would be the greatest honour. "Best night of sleep I think I've ever had." He confessed. "Having you here, in my arms, where I know you're safe, it made me feel so comforted." He told her; knowing he could be honest. Grinning though, Luke shifted to kiss Liana's head. "Did I snore?"

Michael felt his heart swell with the confirmation that Melody had slept as well as he had, her words giving him more hope that things could always be like this for them, eventually. "I'm glad," he murmured in response, though he grinned when she kissed him. "Good morning to you, too," he teased lightly, but he drew her closer, returning the kiss, rubbing her back gently, just enjoying every moment of having her there, wanting to make the most of it.

Liana smiled with hearing his words, happy to hear it, hopeful that their mornings could always be like this once she graduated. "God, I love you," she murmured, though she laughed quietly to his question. "You did not. Unfortunately. And here I was really looking forward to bailing on you to cuddle with Petunia," she teased, shifting to rest her hand on his chest, her fingers drawing patterns through his shirt.

Melody laughed, shaking her head in amusement as Michael returned her kiss. "God, I could just stay here forever." She told him honestly, snuggling further into him, burying her face into the space between the bottom of his neck and his shoulder - but she knew that soon, they would both have to move to get ready for the day. "I love you." She told him gently, her arm around his middle, her fingers curled into the material of his soft t-shirt, wondering if she could borrow one of his t-shirts to wear for school.

Luke smiled with Liana's words. "I love you too, so, so much. You're my whole world, Liana." He told her honestly, leaning to kiss her forehead, just wanting the moment to last forever, the peace he was feeling. "I'm glad you didn't ditch me for Petunia." Luke teased, relaxing as Liana's fingers drew patterns into his chest through the material of his t-shirt, rubbing her back gently. "I don't want to get up, can't we both just ditch for today?" He asked with a grin, half meaning it, but knowing that it would probably look a little suspicious.

Michael grinned with the mention of it, watching her happily. "I would gladly stay right here with you," he promised quietly, though, when she snuggled into him, he breathed out happily, holding her closer to himself, his fingers rubbing circles into her back gently. "I love you, too, Mel, more than anything. You're everything to me." Smiling with the though, happy that she was his, he kissed the top of her head gently. "I can't wait for our forever to be like this."

Liana grinned with the feeling, her heart swelling with the thought that he was hers, that he loved her as much as she loved him. "Poor Petunia," she joked lightly, though her expression softened and she smiled, leaning up to kiss him for a moment. "As much as I would love that, somebody gave me lunch detention and I'd hate to miss that." She winked teasingly before she shifted to sit up, though she didn't move far, not too eager to part from him.

Melody smiled with Michael's promise. "I know you would." She responded, smiling as she felt the circles being rubbed into her back. Listening to Michael's words, Melody's smile broadened. "Our forever isn't that far away." She promised. Sitting up reluctantly, Melody pressed another kiss to Michael's lips, smiling. As her phone alarm went off, Mel groaned, climbing out of Michael's embrace to switch it off, grabbing her overnight bag to grab what she needed for the day.

Luke laughed with Liana's words. "I'm sure Petunia is perfectly happy sleeping alone." He teased, returning Liana's kiss, unable to stop himself from melting into it, just so easily lost in Liana's presence, loving every moment. "Dammit, I bet that teacher is an asshole." He murmured into her lips with an amused grin, although when she shifted away from him, Luke pouted slightly, but he sat up too, following her lead. "C'mon," he pressed a kiss to her shoulder, climbing off the bed.

Michael grinned with the mention of it. "We always could," he suggested casually, chewing on his lip, though he pouted when his own alarm went off. "Or not. Evil alarms." Still, smiling, he watched her. "I can't wait for that forever, though. It'll be perfect, I just know it." And he was determined to make it perfect for Melody, too. Watching her, he smiled to himself before he shifted to stand up and made his way over to wrap his arms around her from behind, holding her close. "I love you, Mel, so damn much."

"Aw, come on, don't deny Petunia the love she deserves," Liana teased with a laugh, though she grinned slightly as she watched him. "Well, he's definitely got a nice ass, at the very least, so maybe detention's worth it." She winked teasingly but smiled and climbed off the bed, moving to her backpack to get out the change of clothes she'd brought as she went ahead to start changing.

Mel giggled with Michael's words about the alarms being evil, shaking her head in amusement. "You're so cute." She teased, undoing her hair from it's ponytail, roughing up her hair so she could fix it up in the bathroom. Still, she smiled with Michael's reassurance of their forever. "It will be perfect." She confirmed, grabbing her jeans from her bag, laughing as Michael wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Oh, that's evil." She leaned into his embrace, looking up at him with a smile. "I love you too, baby."

Luke smiled with Liana's words about Petunia. "I'm not." He promised with a grin. "Some days that dog eats better than me." He teased, but he laughed with Liana's comment about his ass, biting his lip. "Well damn, he's a lucky man to have your attention." Luke grinned, sneaking up behind Liana to wrap his arms around her from behind, kissing the top of her head. "I love you." He told her honestly, kissing her shoulder before moving to grab his clothes for teaching, a smart pair of pants and a yellow shirt.

Michael grinned in response as he watched her. "And you're gorgeous, perfect even," he chimed, winking as he watched her, though he grinned, holding her tightly to himself, rubbing her hips gently as he kissed the top of her head. "Good. I couldn't imagine anything better than any of that. Our perfect future, together, loving each other." Smiling, he kissed the top of her head before he pulled back to go to his closet, grabbing clothes to change into.

Liana laughed quietly. "Oh, you have no idea. I plan to give him very fun attention today," she chimed, winking at him before she focused on changing, though she grinned when she felt his arms around her, leaning back into his hold. "I love you, too, Luke." Chewing on her lip, she smiled when he pulled away and she watched him while she got changed.

Melody smiled with Michael's words, still leaning into his embrace. "You're such a charmer." She teased, smiling as he pulled away. Grabbing her toothbrush, Mel disappeared to the bathroom, changing in there after brushing her teeth and tying up her hair, humming to herself as she did. Going back to the bedroom when she was done, Melody snuck up behind Michael, stealing one of his sweatshirts and slipping it on, before wrapping her arms around his middle, her forehead resting against his back. "God, you really are a vision."

Luke raised his eyebrows in curiosity to Liana's words. "Can he have a hint?" He asked with a smirk, his smirk broadening to a grin as Liana winked at him. Although Luke buttoned up his shirt, fixing the sleeves as he he watched Liana closely, loving how at home she seemed to be already. "Dammit, I hate it when you bite your lip, you're too beautiful." He complimented, truly meaning it. Passing her to grab his shoes, Luke pulled Liana to him by her hips, pressing a kiss to her lips, before pulling away with a playful grin.

Michael grinned in response, winking over at her. "I try," he teased lightly, "But I also mean every word I say to you." He grinned slightly, chewing on his lip as he watched her disappear into the bathroom before he tugged out clothes to change into. Blinking when Mel stole one of his shirts, he laughed, but he turned in her arms, wanting to see how she looked, his heart swelling. "Dammit, you look even more gorgeous in my shirt. You drive me crazy enough already, but this..." Shaking his head, he slid his arms around her, holding her close to kiss her for a moment. "What in the world did I do to deserve you?"

Liana grinned over at him. "I gave you a hint already, kind of. Under the desk," she teased, winking again as she finished changing and she just stayed there, taking him in, in awe of him. Hearing his words, though, she laughed. "You love when I bite my lip. And I'm gonna take every chance I can to drive you up a wall before school even starts." Winking again, she gave a noise of surprise but laughed against his lips for the moment the kiss lasted. "Tease." She grinned as she watched him before she turned to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth and do her hair and make-up.

Melody smiled with Michael's words, squeezing around him gently as she leaned on her tip-toes to kiss him. "I'm glad, because it's kinda the girlfriend code to steal your boyfriend's shirts." She informed him, trying to keep a straight face, but she soon smiled, ducking her head as she laughed. "I love it, it's so comfy." She returned his kiss though, smiling into his lips. "Uh, well, you were really perfect? That just drew me in really." She teased, pressing another kiss to Michael's lips. "So uh, next time I sleep over, this shirt, nothing else, what do you think?"

Luke raised his eyebrows, a small smirk threatening to fall on his features as she gave him a hint, almost guessing there and then. "Oh?" He tried to keep a straight face, but as Liana winked, Luke groaned out loud. "This isn't fair, Li!" He protested, although not really minding. as she threatened to drive him up the wall. "I love you, I tease you, but I love you." He smirked, letting her disappear to the bathroom, despite already missing her beside him, knowing his house would never be the same without her in it. Still, Luke bit his lip, running a hand through his hair as he sat on the edge of his bed.

Michael grinned with her kiss, loving the feeling of it, and he squeezed around her gently. "You're completely welcome to steal all of my shirts. They look so much better on you, anyways," he teased, though he was telling the truth, and he smiled happily, kissing her again, holding her close, rubbing her back gently. "You're the perfect one, babe." And, she always would be, in his eyes. Everything about her was perfect. He grinned, though, to her words, and arched a brow. "Yeah? Just the shirt? Nothing else? Not even underwear?" And, though he tried to hide it, he couldn't force away the smirk that formed on his features.

Liana laughed as she worked on finishing getting ready. "It may not be fair, but we both know you'll love it," she teased, grinning. When she finished, she made her way out, though she smirked when she saw him sitting on the bed. Unable to stop herself, she made her way over, climbing onto his lap as she slid her arms around his neck. "I love you, too," she promised, brushing her lips over his, "But, on the bright side, imagine how amazing you'll feel once you get your fun at lunch."

Melody smiled into Michael's kiss, gripping to the front of his shirt. "That's not a fair statement, you look gorgeous every single day." She told him seriously, pressing another kiss to his lips, despite her smile, her arms wrapped around his neck. Still, with his question, Melody smirked. "Just the shirt, and nothing else, not a single thing." She smirked, tugging his lower lip. "God dammit, your smirk is the most attractive thing."

Luke scrubbed at his face with Liana's words, but as she left the bathroom, Luke looked at her, amazed by her beauty. "How are you so beautiful?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her waist as she climbed into his lap, kissing her lips almost desperately, smirking as she brushed her lips over his. "Oh, you cruel little girl." He spoke lowly, biting his lip. "On the bright side, can't we just have fun now?"

Michael grinned, shifting to rest his hands on her hips, his thumbs rubbing her hips gently. "Well, then you now know that you look even more gorgeous than I do when you're wearing my shirts," he teased, though he held her close when she kissed him, giving a happy noise as he returned her kiss, laughing against her lips with her words. "I absolutely love the thought of seeing you in nothing but my shirt. It will be the most perfect view in my life, I just know it."

"Work and genetics," Liana chimed with amusement, grinning at him, "Though I could easily ask you the same thing." Feeling the kiss, she grinned with it, still only brushing her lips over his, loving teasing him, and she gave a happy noise when she saw him biting his lip, shifting to cup his face with one hand, her thumb running over his lips. "No, we can't, because I'm a cruel little girl who wants to make you squirm." She grinned, amused.

Mel smiled as Michael's happiness shone through, her heart swelling with his laugh, his whole happy demeanour. "But have you seen your smile?" She asked him fondly, biting her lip with a smile of her own, completely addicted to Michael. "Well, that's good." She teased, kissing him softly. "Keep it in mind until the next time I come over." She smirked, digging her nails into the back of his neck.

"Genetics, mostly." Luke teased back as she asked him the same question. Although when Liana began to tease him, Luke groaned, his head falling back slightly as he moved his hands to grip to Liana's hips. "Babe, this isn't fair." He whined, feeling her thumb run over his lips, Luke closed his eyes, trying to keep himself composed, shifting slightly on the bed. "Mean."
