SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS

・゚TWENTY EIGHT




LUKE stood in the kitchen, scrambling to find himself something to eat, desperate for anything that he couldn't find at this point.

" What're you doing?", Quinn asked.

" Trying to find food", Luke groaned

Jack looked at him weirdly, " Make something?''

" I don't have time. I'm supposed to pick Cris up in like ten minutes", Luke said, " Did you guys eat all of the granola bars?",

The two older brothers looked at each other, eyes slightly wide.

" Did you say you're picking up Cris?", the middle Hughes asked.

Luke nodded, " Hello? Granola bars?",

" Um, yeah. They're all gone", Quinn said, " Sorry, Cristina? I thought you guys weren't talking?",

" We are now",

Jack raised an eyebrow, " Talking or more than just talking, Lukey?",

" Oh gross, Jack!", Quinn argued.

Luke didn't answer, looking over at Jack before grabbing the keys off the counter.

" Definitely more than talking", Jack smirked, " I knew it, you have that post 'just had sex with my ex for the first time in forever', look",

" Thanks, Jack. I was going for that", Luke smiled and nodded at him.

Quinn rolled his eyes, " Where are you guys going?",

Luke shrugged, " Don't know. She asked me to pick her up, said she didn't want to drive anywhere",

" Luke, you are back to being her personal Uber again", Jack scoffed, " You better be getting it often",

They all knew they were joking, and usually Luke would get mad, but Jack would say this even if Cristina was here. They were both used to the jokes, so they never got mad at him for it.

" Yea yea, see you guys", he said as he exited the home.

Luke drove Cristina to stores, arguing as she forced him to come in with her.

" Why do you want to just sit in the car. Be a team player, Lukey",

" I am a team player", Luke said, " Who's driving you around?",

Cristina smiled up at him, paying at the self check out as they walked back to the car. It was fully snowing outside, both of them thankful that Luke managed to get a parking spot close.

" So, ready to go back to school?", Luke said.

" Are you gonna actually talk to me for the whole semester this time?",

Luke looked over at her, " Yes. I've confessed, so there is no going back now",

Cristina nodded, placing a soft kiss on his lips before pulling away.

" Drive us home, Uber!",
