Summary
“But you better quit it with the smart-ass comments,” Michael says, “because then I will actually hit you.”But Luke can’t help it. Because Michael always makes himself the center of gravity. He was in Luke’s school and then Jack’s shop and then their house and then the band. He’s everywhere. He always has been. Luke can’t do anything to stop it. He’s like bacteria. Or the flu. Or cancer, most succinctly.
“Please don’t,” is the only thing Luke manages, eyes crawling over every inch of Michael’s grit jaw for penance.
Luke's in Catholic school and Michael's a mechanic. They've hated each other since they were kids. That doesn't go away once they start hooking up all the time.Or, an early-2000s AU featuring DIY garage bands, MySpace stalking, unsanitary stick-and-pokes, and a slightly concerning psychosexual fixation on each other.

Summary
“Who was that boy? You were touching his hair.”Right. New person. “He’s my,” Michael says, and pauses, because Luke had technically been his boyfriend, until last week. For several months. Almost half a year. It had felt juvenile but Luke had informed him it was what was going on. I just wanted to tell you that you’re my boyfriend.
“Singer,” he continues, a minute later, because it feels apt. “In my—band. I play guitar. He sings. And plays guitar also.”
Luke and Michael break up, then get back together. They're very good at it. Until Luke dyes his hair and stops picking up the phone.Series
