Ashton:

I’m here!

You sent the text to Luke, making sure that you were double checking your every move and where you were in the venue, just in case Ashton was suddenly walking down the hall. You couldn’t be caught by him otherwise it would ruin everything. Well, not everything, but you wanted to make it a huge surprise and go by the plan you had created with Luke. The boys had been on tour for a while now, meaning that you and your boyfriend Ashton hadn’t seen each other for ages. The two of you used Skype and Face time and often called and texted each other but it just wasn’t the same as being the each other’s arms or just generally being with one another.

You know what to do, I’ll send him over.

You looked down at the reply Luke sent you and nodded, looking down at your map of the venue Luke had sent you and walking towards the backstage area. You and Luke knew it was risky for you to actually hide on the stage but you didn’t care, the plan had been done to perfection – recorded to the last second. You walked into the darkness of the backstage area and then crept on to the stage, trying to decide where you would go. You decided that you would sit on the small stool just behind Ashton’s drums.

You sat down, grabbing his sticks and tapping them lightly, trying to act as nonchalant as you could when really your stomach was full of butterflies and excitement and nerves over what his reaction would be and the fact that you were going to see your boyfriend for the first time in months. You straightened up immediately when you heard familiar voices coming towards you.

“Exactly why are we doing this?” You heard Ashton ask and your heart melted at the sound of his voice. It was his voice, echoing through the arena, not his voice, laggy and scratched out by the quality of your Skype and Face time.

“I just wanted to go for a walk with one my pals…pal!” You heard Luke say and rolled your eyes lightly at how bad he was at lying. At least he had Ashton slightly convinced considering the two of them were walking towards you anyway. You continued to try and act nonchalant, swivelling the stool around and playing with the drumsticks as you heard their footsteps get closer and closer.

“Honestly this is s-“ Ashton stopped his sentence halfway when he saw you spinning around, laughing quietly to yourself in amusement. You stopped swivelling when you were facing him, a grin lighting up your face. “Y/N?” Ashton asked, as if you weren’t actually there.

“Surprise!” You cried, standing up and running over to him. He was still in shock so all you could do was throw your arms around him, causing him to become slightly unbalanced for a second. It only took a moment before he was giving you a bone crushing hug, as if he wanted to morph your bodies together. You pulled back slightly, grinning up at him.

“How long are you staying for?” He asked, his lopsided grin just as big as yours. You removed a few curls from his eyes.

“However long you want me to stay,” you said quietly and he somehow pulled you even closer to him, his arms tightening around your waist. He leaned his forehead down against yours, the smile never leaving his face.

“Don’t leave,” he said and you laughed, nodding.

“If you say so,” you smiled, pressing your lips on to his.

Calum:

“Happy birthday to youuuuuuu!” Calum sang for the millionth time on the car ride home from your work. It was your birthday and Calum decided he was going to take you out for dinner. He had told you to get dressed for your night at work and that he would pick you up. You were dressed in the outfit he had chosen because he didn’t want to tell you where he was going to take you for you to dress accordingly. “Can we make a quick pit stop at home? I have to grab something for you!” He said and you smiled and shrugged, letting him take a turn off that led back to yours and Calum’s home. “Do you want to grab the mail, I’ll meet you inside?” Calum said and you nodded, hopping out of the car then as he drove up your driveway and into the garage.
