Luke

It's kind of suffocating living in a small town, at least that's what Luke thinks. Everyone is watching you and noticing what you do wrong, you basically have no freedom.

Luke has no friends, let me tell you. His only brother, Ben, likes to build stuff - anything to be honest - and people consider him a freak but Luke just thinks he is just smarter than the others. People don't want to be friends with Luke because he is that weirdo who goes to the record shop in the middle on the town everyday to get new cd's or donate some of his. It's not a reason to call him a freak but he doesn't mind, he likes to be different because different means special (even though it bothers him sometimes). He is also gay so the religious old ladies throw holy water at him (it actually happened once).

He is currently going to the record shop with an Ed Sheeran's Ep 'Songs I Wrote With Amy' with a big smile on his face.

''He's so weird.'' An old lady says, Luke just ignores.

''He's a freak grandma, just ignore him. The peagon truck is coming!''

Luke sighs and takes off his sunglasses when he sees the store. Carl - the guy who works there - is the only person who is actually nice to him, the man is 40 years old and his wife died making him a single father of 4.

The blonde haired boy walks in and sees Carl almost sleeping against the coffee machine. He chuckles and walks around.

Luke feels sorry for Carl. Since Emily died he has to take care of 4 kids alone and doesn't let Luke help him or take care of the kids so Carl can rest and have time for himself.

''Hey Carl!'' he greets and the older man smiles at him.

''Hey Luke, how are you today?''

''I'm good, how are the kids?''

''They are good, staying with my sister this weekend. I decided to take your advice...'' he smiles.

''I'm glad.'' Luke smiles back ''I'm here to donate an EP! It's from Ed Sheeran.'' the blonde boy gave him the EP and smiled excitedly walking to the shell beside the counter ''Do you have any new CD's?''

Carl laughs ''Not since yesterday. Did you enjoy the one you took yesterday?''

''Oh yes! I loved it. The sound of the music, the angelic voices, the rythm and the beat. Music is such a magical thing!''

''Well you know what? Keep it.''

''W-What? Carl I can't-''

''No no Luke.'' Carl stopped him ''You always offer to take care of the kids, and I know you go take care of them when they are sick, Mrs.Nancy told me. It's the least i can do.''

''O-Okay.'' Luke smiled ''I gotta go! Thank you again Carl, have a lovely day!''

''Bye kid.''

Luke exited the store and started heading home, people giving him weird looks and whispering behind his back. He completely hated it.

At the end of the street there was a girl who was constantly flirting with Luke and begging to marry with him. At first Luke laughed because it was funny but that rich girl has such an annoying obsession with him, if he liked girls he wouldn't be attracted to her.

''Shit shit shit.'' he cursed and starting walking on the opposite direction hoping Madison didn't see him.

''Luke Poo!''

''Fucking hell...'' he mentally cringed at her annoying voice. Luke turned around seeing the red-headed girl very very very close to him so he took a step back.

''Hey Madison, how are you today?''

''I'm going to be better if you finally accept marrying me.'' she smirked and grabbed his ass, Luke gasped and slapped her hands away from his bum.

''Look Madison, you are nice, you really are. But I told you a million times that I like boys in a romantic way, girls in a friendly way. We can be friends an-and that's fine but I don't want to-''

''That's bullshit! You just have to stop playing hard to get and just admit that you love me. We can have babies, I know you want to have a family I read your diary after you fall asleep!''

''You- You do what?''

''You look so cute when you are sleeping...''

''Okay hum... that's just creepy. Goodbye Madison.''

''Goodbye Luke!''

Luke walked - more like ran- away form her and went home.

He got in and heard some stuff falling in the garage. Luke chuckles, it was probably Ben working for the Annual Technology Festival. He got in the garage seeing Ben working on his laptop - he built it himself.

''Hey Ben.'' Luke greeted him and Ben turned around.

''Hey Lukey.''

''How's the project?''

''It's... working?'' Ben answered but it seemed like a question ''I realised I forgot to put a button to turn it on so I made this controller and if I press the red button it turns on.''

''Can you show me?''

''Yeah, of course. Come with me.''

Ben told Luke to hide behind the couch and put on a helmet because it might explode again. Luke did as told and Ben pressed the red button.

It didn't start.

''Okay, it's going to work now.'' He pressed the button again, and multiple times ''Ugh, seriously? I just-'' as he got there the thing exploded and Luke ran to him, worried that his brother was injured.

''Oh my! Ben are you okay?''

''Yeah I'm okay I just-'' Ben sighed ''This was working so right why did it happen? I have nothing to take to the ATF now, and I have to leave tomorrow!''

''You can do it Ben, what if you take the dogbot? You made it for kids, it might have some success!''

''Yeah, I guess... I'm gonna make dinner, you can go up to your room.''

Luke nodded and went to his room. The room was blue, with one wall covered with posters of his favourite bands or movies, he also had a shelf full of books. He sat on his bed and turned on the tv to watch CSI NY.

-

Both boys sat at dinner listening to the news, it was always like this but they don't mind. Their dog, Molly, was sleeping peacefully on the couch and Luke smiled at her cuteness but quickly frowned when he thought about what people called him.

Looney Luke.

They say he is weird and he gets sad because of that. He would be more normal if he could but he just can't, he can't change. Ben noticed his brother sudden sadness and he was worried because Luke has been like that a lot.

''Hey Lukey, what's wrong?'' Ben asked concerned about his brother.

''I just-'' Luke sighs ''Do you think i'm odd?''

''What- no! Of course not, who told you that?''

''I just thought about what people call me and i wish i was normal like them, maybe I would be more accepted here.'' Luke looked down and wrapped his arms around himself like he was protecting himself from more bad thoughts.

Ben sighed, he hates when this happens, when his little brother has bad thoughts about how people treat them just because Ben has dreams. He didn't know what to say.

''Luke, never think that you are less than the others. People judge us because we have dreams and things to accomplish, we want to make something with our lives. You are different Luke so it means you are special.''

Luke smiled at his brother and got up, walking around the table to hug him. Ben chuckled, they finished their dinner and watched random tv shows right after. Ben ended up falling asleep on the couch, Luke set up his alarm to leave early and mumbled 'goodnight Benny' before petting Molly and go upstairs to sleep.
