Luke and Michael had the same friend group. Which is not that bad you think. But oh dear, the two of them hated each other with passion.

But a turbulent party night and a hangover in the morning did its job by itself.

~~~~

Day 1 Sunday

Luke woke up from a humongous headache.

As he looked around the room he realised that the was laying in Calums room.

Luke turned around, facing the wall but let out a scream.

Michael Clifford, his worse enemy way laying next to him in bed.

Michael woke up from Luke's scream and his eyes widened as he saw his bedpartner.

"What the actual fuck!" Luke yelled want wanted to get up but got janked back in bed...by a handcuff.

One side attached to his and the other one attached to Michaels wrist.

The two of them starred at each other.

"What in lord's name happend yesterday?" Michael asked. "Cause I can definitely not remember anything."

"Me either. But get the fuck up we need to find Calum. Now."

Michael surprisingly agreed and they managed to get into the kitchen.

Calum was sitting there with a amused smile. "Good morning Lovebirds."

"What is going on here?" Michael asked, trying to stay calm because freaking out with someone else attached to his wrist wouldn't be that funny.

"Thus us a quite funny story. So sit down my loves." Calum said and giggled like a child.

They sat down and just by the action of pulling out a chair the struggle began.

"So Calum. Why the hell are we cuffed together?"

Calum lost it as he took a sip out of his cup. "Well. Yesterday Ash and Harry made fun of you two absolutely hating each other so you two nearly black out drunk geniuses made the bet that you can be attached to each other for a week."

Michaels head fell on the counter. "Not a week. Not 7 days in basically jail."

Luke wanted to slap his head with the hand closer to him but he just snatched Michaels hand up with his own.

"Ouch you bastard. Watch out."

"Please open the cuffs Calum. Please!" Luke begged.

"Well...one of you, I'm not gonna snich, told me to record how you two say that no matter what we all are not allowed to open the cuffs till the week is over."

Luke groaned and his head sank down on the counter too.

Calum laughed about them and when Ashton came in the kitchen he had to laugh even harder.

Day 2 Monday

Luke felt disgusted and disgusting at the same time.

He had to go to the shower this morning.

Michael pinkie promised to turn his back and not to peak but Luke could swear that bastard with coloured hair looked at least once.

And getting dressed was a wild ride, especially the top.

Luke had to wear a tank top with big cut outs on the side to get it on.

Michael just shrugged his shoulders and held his head under the water tap in the bathroom sink.

The funny part came when they walked in the school building and they got starred at by everyone.

Even the teachers giggled behind their backs about the bizarre picture they where able to witness.

It was the first time in his life that Luke was glad to be the only left handed in his friend group.

Their class teacher was confused about Michael and Luke sitting next to each other, sandwiched between Ashton and Calum.

"Mister Clifford, Mister Hemmings. What a pleasure to see you two...getting along."

"Oh no sir. We don't." Michael said and lifted his left hand above the table, showing the cuffs.

The whole class laughed and Luke burried his face in his elbow.

They survived the first three periods perfectly fine till after the lunch break in nutrition classes where Michael raised his cuff free hand and asked for a toilet.

"Sure. Leave." the teacher told him.

Michael got up and Luke slowly got up from his seat too.

"Mister Hemmings. Please sit down. Mister Clifford is going to the toilet."

Luke laughed and showed her his handcuffs.

They left with the class laughing again and walked up in the second floor to go to the boys restroom.

Michael tried to use just one hand to open his pants but in the end he had to use his second one too.

After he was done and washed his hands Luke janked himself to a sink too just to scrub his hands down.

Day 3 Wednesday

Luke slowly got used to spend time with Michael.

He already had about 48 hours with him so the rest wouldn't be that bad.

Their teacher got kinda used to them too as well as their parents cause Michael and Luke made up the deal to switch place every night.

So they sat together in Michaels bed after school, doing homework together.

It turned out that Michael was a genius in nutrition and Luke was a Straight A student in accounting classes.

That was quite a win for both because Luke sucked in nutrition and other way round too.

"So you want to tell me that when I have to post a discount I have to...what is this?" Michael got frustrated again and threw the pen down.

"Calm down Michael. We'll get this. It's really easy." Luke said and moved his history book away to get up close to him.

Michael needed 2 hours more than Luke did and about 5 times wrestling with him over the right answer.

In the evening they got their stuff to make it back to Luke's house where they fell in his bed.

"I like your bed better. It's softer." Michael said and burried his face in his pillow.

Luke's mom set up a extra sheet and pillow for this week, so did Karen.

"I'm tired."

Luke hesitated for a second before he took his shirt off and made himself comfortable next to Michael.

He got rid of his shirt too and after Luke set an alarm for the next day they switched off the light and closed his eyes.

It turned out that Luke actually didn't needed the alarm because of Michael.

Day 4 Thursday

It was at five am in the morning when Luke woke up.

Michael layed half on him, was sweating like a pig, whined and held tight on Luke's bare abbs.

He gently shook Michaels shoulder with his free hand but got a bit harsher to wake him up because it felt like his wrist got ripped apart.

Michael slowly woke up and released Luke's abbs as he sat up, rubbed over his eyes.

"You okay?" Luke asked after he cleared his throat to not sound too awful.

"Yeah...sure. Just a little nightmare." Michael said and Luke died inside because of Michaels sleepy voice.

Michael looked at the handcuffs on their wrists. "Fuck, what happend there?"

He carefully lifted Luke's right hand where a few bruises popped on his skin.

"Nothing I guess." Luke didn't felt pain and his wrist didn't hurt when he moved it. "Probably because of the cuffs or so."

They decided to go back to sleep after they couldn't find something dramatic on his wrist.

After 10 or so minutes Luke slowly turned to Michael. "I can't sleep anymore."

"Me neither."

"Breakfast?"

Michael got up nearly immediately and with that nearly ripped Luke on the floor.

"Could you please not?" he gasped as he got up and fixed his shorts cause they moved really low.

"Maybe when I'm in a good mood."

Luke just flipped him off and dragged him out of his room.
"Shut up."

Luke's parents weren't awake yet but Luke and Michael mad breakfast for them too.

Turned out Michael was actually good in cooking so Luke just stood next to him and watched how the eggs turned into scrambled one.

Today was Michaels turn to shower so after the breakfast Luke stood with his back again the shower wall.

His hand was sticking in the shower and his cheeks where flushed red because ha had a big problem with naked people in hus surrounding.

Michael dried himself and hot dressed again.

They ruined a lot of shirts in the last 4 days to get dressed and undressed.

Luke even had to make big sidecutouts on his favourite shirt to get it on.

The biggest drama in the morning was them styling their hair because the attached extra hand was somehow always in the way.

On their first morning together it was a huge fight but on morning number four they just gave up and both just put on a snapback.

They had a hour left before they needed to actually leave so Luke was playing on his Nintendo 3DS while Michael was busy with the rest of his accounting homework.

Luke wrote down the answer for him every now and then because he was very frustrated.

Day 5 Friday

Spending so much time with one and the same person was quite exhausting.

Luke wanted to scream when he was waiting for the 120 hour stamp to pass.

They where sitting in the cafeteria and Michael was acting like a bitch with his lunch trail.

“If you don't stop...Right now... I'll hit your face with a fucking chair.“

Luke was really mad so Michael preferred to shut up and eat his Lunch.

Harry was genuinely amused by Luke nearly getting an anger outburst so he took a picture of them.

Luke showed him his middle finger and kept eating.

Michael kept his talkativeness down for the rest of the day because when Luke would freak out he sill would have to sleep in one bed with him and getting suffocated by a pillow wasn't on his top ten to dos.

After the school they went to Luke's place and got their stuff to switch houses again.

“Hey luke.“ Karen greated him with a short hug.

“Hello Miss C.“ he said back and Michael dragged him upstairs.

“I need help with homework. I know it's Thursday and the homework is till Monday but I don't have you with me from Saturday on.

“Oh, so you like my company?“ Luke laughed and sat on the bed with Michael.

“No. I just like that you understand the school stuff better than I do.“

Luke smiled but to be honest, he was hurt. He actually started to trust Michael a little, not absolutely hating him anymore but that seemed to be one sided.

He helped Michael with his work, did his own and as they where laying in bed Like still kept on the smile that hide the hurt part.

Michael paused the TV. “Tell me Luke. What did I do wrong?“

Luke got hit by suprise. “What?“

“I spent the last more than 120 hours with you. I kinda start to realise when your mood switch and your smile stops being real and starts being polite.“

Luke swallowed hard. “It's just.... nothing important, I was just childish and...kinda started to like your company...but you don't.“

“Oh my god Luke, you're so much sugar.“ Michael started to laugh. “I was joking. I start to get used to the idea of friendship with you too.“

Luke giggled and cuddled up to Michael, no more tears floating his eyes.

The boy with colourful hair wrapped his not cuffed arm around Luke and pulled him tighter to his chest.

Day 6 Saturday

The Courses from Michael an Luke started to say that they lost one of their classmates because they were literally glued together all the time. 

Luke was kind of annoyed by that but he just tried to ignore it cause Michaels giggled about those comments which had something comforting.

6 days ago Luke couldn't even imagine to come closer to Michael than 6 feet and now he was always just a few inches away.

The only thing that was bothering them was that they weren't able to attend gym classes at all, especially not when they played catch.

After gym the school was over so today it's was the turn to stay at Luke's house for the night.

Calum shared their homewalk but left three streets earlier to go to his own house.

Liz greeted them while they took of the shoes. “How was school.“

“Good.“
“Bad.“

Both answers came at the same time.

Luke and Michael looked at each other before following momma Hemmings in the kitchen.

“Are you exited for tomorrow? Ya last day together?“ she asked while stirring in the pot on the stove.

“Its gonna be nice...to do everyday things...normal again.“ Michael said, carefully, thinking a lot in-between the sentences.

“I agree.“

It got quite again and after the dinner Michael made Luke to help clean the dishes.

“Oh, if that's a constant thing I don't mine you staying together a little longer.“

Luke laughed as well as Michael but after that they went into Luke's room to do homework.

After the homework, which triggered an existential crisis in both of them, Michael played with Luke's playstation and Luke played with his own Nintendo 3DS.

They killed time by doing this till it was about midnight.

“The last few hours have started.“ Michael said as he checked his phone.

~~~~

Day 7 Sunday

Luke woke up really late and Michael was already up.

“Morning...” he mumbled as he sat up and looked around.

“Hey. Good morning too.“ Michael said and quickly looked from his phone to the freshly awake teen but placed it away and smiled.

Luke's hair was everywhere so Michael was nice enough to borrow him his free hand and helped him to get the worse out of his face.

“What a cutie.“

Luke blushed so hard even his bare chest turned slightly pink and he didn't had a chance to hide it.

Michael couldn't help but pinch him in the side and feeling tingles when Luke flinched away and squeaked.

“You hungry?“ Luke asked him after he calmed down and his blush was mainly gone.

“I'm hungry for apples.“

Luke looked confused till he realised that it was a line from Rick and Morty.

They got up and walked down into the kitchen.

Liz was already gone, she wanted to meet up with her friends.

“Here.“ Luke put on his best poker face and handed Michael a apple.

He took it without hesitation and bit in it. “Delicious.“

Luke laughed and made himself a bowl with his favourite cereals.

“So, how does this whole... de-attach-thing work?“

“Don't know.“

Luke took his phone and saw a text from Calum. “Well, we have to be at Cal's house at 2.“

The last few hours together flew by and then they stood in Calums room.

Ashton, Harry, Louis and Liam sat on the floor around them and watched how Calum took the keys from his desk.

“Ready?“

Michael and Luke both nodded.

Ashton giggled and filmed with his phone how Calum unlocked the cuffs.

Luke automatically rubbed over his now free wrist and laughed.

Michael did the same but without the laughing part, just observing his new freedom. “I swear, I'll never get drunk on one of your parties ever again cal.“

~~~~

Day 14 Sunday

Luke layed in bed, being bored.

It was a week since the cuffs got unlocked but he got so used to Michael being around all the time so quick it felt like his bed, his room, his personal space was too empty.

Luke was so used to him being there that he missed him. Two weeks earlier he wouldn't have wasted a thought on him but now he missed his company.

As if there was a magical connection between them his phone rang and on the display was the name of the person Luke missed right now.

He picked up and rested the phone on his bare chest.
“Hey, some wrong?“

“Kinda, yeah.“

Luke automatically sat up and got worried. “What? Tell me.“

“Well I miss you.“

“I miss you too.“

“Do you think your bed has room for two?“

Luke blushed and smiled at the same time. “I dunno known wanna come over and try it out?“

Michael hesitated before answering. “Well...the thing is... I'm already at your front door.“

Never in his entire life Luke ran this quickly down the staircase and ripped the door open just to see Michael with a shy smile and a few daisys in his hands.

“I saw them... while I walked here and they remembered me of you so I picked them.“ he explained after a hug and held the tiny flowers towards the blond one.

Luke carefully took them and took a little sniff. “Thank you..and come in.“

Michael followed the order and stepped in the now well known houshold.

Liz came down the stairs too and was surprised to see Michael. “Oh hello. You're not chained up anymore, or...?“

“No Misses Hemmings. We're not...I just missed him.“

She gave them a knowing smile before going back upstairs.

The two boys followed upstairs and Luke went into the bathroom to empty his toothbrush cup and fill it with water for the flowers.

When he returned to his room Michael already layed in his bed, waiting.

Luke didn't acted shy and cuddled up to him with a smile.

Michael wrapped his arms around the other one and pulled him a little closer filling more of his personal space up.

”Wow...that's nice.“ Luke whispered and held onto Mikey shirt.
