"Is now a good time to use my Nemo pickup line again?"

"Don't touch my butt.

"I like your butt." Luke pouted.

"Oh."

Michael started walking faster to the aquarium, leaving Luke behind. Maybe give Luke a show as he swayed his hips back and forth.

Michael watched his surroundings around him. A family of eight wearing matching tie-dye Disney shirts to his left. A couple wearing those bride and groom Mickey Mouse ears, he assumed they recently got married or they just thought they were cute. He kinda wanted to go buy him and Luke one, but he knows it's too soon for that.

Michael got a glimpse of another couple kissing. His heart fluttered at the sight. The dream of having someone to do that with was buried deep inside. All his friends having been married or dating and he's all by his lonesome self. They would try to set him up on dates, though he'd decline. He tells himself he doesn't need someone by his side. But, he know he does.

"Stop walking so fast." Luke panted, his words coming out in short puffs while trying to catching his breath.

Michael looked at him. Thoughts of spending more time with Luke started clouding his mind. He sighed, knowing this won't last and he should make the most of their time together. Michael grabbed Luke's hand in his and opened the door for them.

The blast of cool air instantly hitting their faces. Michael sighed in relief as his body started to cool off.

"Can we look at the penguins first?" Luke jumped, eyes wide while shaking Michael's arm with excitement.

"This isn't a zoo. There's no penguins here. Just some fish and a cute Nemo ride."

"Fine. Let's go look at some fish." Luke grumbled, but not before he caught sight of Michael looking at everything in awe.

That's all that mattered to him.

Michael.
