Ashton: "Hey there it's good to see you again, it never felt right calling this "just friends". I'm happy, if you're happy, with yourself."

 I sighed, running my fingers through my curly locks. I watched the three boys in front of me arguing about what pizza we were gonna get, I wasn't really picky in the pizza we were gonna eat so I stayed out of the argument. "No, I want hawaiian," Calum pouted. Luke folded his arms across his chest, puffing out air, "I want their specialty." I groaned, spinning on my heel to take a step outside as I didn't feel like listening to them argue back and forth about which pizza to get. They were gonna figure it out all on their own, I just wanted some silence for a little bit. I breathed in the fresh air outside, and bit down on my bottom lip. It feels so good to be back home after five months, these streets were still so familiar to me, and nothing has changed since I left a few months ago. I can't believe we were gonna play in front of our families again, I was nervous of course, but I knew that my family will enjoy the show, like they always do. "Ashton?" I heard a voice say behind me, and it was probably one of the fans so I had to say hello. I turned around with a huge smile on my face, expecting an unfamiliar face but I was surprised to see a very familiar face instead. She looked absolutely beautiful, her eyes were still as bright when I last saw them, and absolutely nothing has changed about her. She tucked loose strands of her hair behind her ear shyly, smiling up at me. "Hey," I greeted back, taking in her appearance. I can't believe it's her - of all the people I could have met today, it was her. The two of us had something together in the past, but that's all long gone now. We were both young and of course, one of the perks of being young was having hormones that made you feel all sorts of stuff and made you react all differently. Our hormones drove us insane a year ago, and we were both driven to do the deed with one another more than once. We agreed to never speak of it afterwards, and we've never spoken to each other since I left for London a year ago as well, so I lost contact with her completely. I thought I was completely over her to be honest, but it was clear from the racing of my heart that I still felt something for her that I haven't felt for anyone in a long time. Even though she made it clear we were only friends, I could never call whatever we had as just friends because I knew she felt something for me too. I wanted to take this to the next level, but I'm scared she doesn't feel the same way she used to a year ago. Times change, and feelings fade so I don't know if she still loves me like I love her. I'm too scared to ask her about it too, because if she doesn't feel anything anymore and I would hint that I still love her, she might run away and I didn't want that. I guess I should be happy with our current relationship then - friends, just friends. "I missed you," she smiles, wrapping her arms around me and I could feel her heart beating against her chest. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered and I rested my head on top of hers, wrapping my arms around her as well. "I missed you too."

Michael: "Take off your shirt, your shoes, those skinny jeans I bought for you. We're diving in, there's nothing left to lose."

I never thought I would see her again after all these months, and now that she was finally here, I didn't know what to do. She had a huge smile on her face, and her eyes looked so bright - she looked absolutely stunning, like she always did. I muttered her name, and she wrapped her arm around my waist. "I can't believe you're here Michael," she murmured, burying her head into my chest. I couldn't even believe she was here either, I just arrived in Sydney for the show tonight and I wanted to see my family - I didn't expect to see her waiting inside my room, the room in which we shared so many precious moments together. "I can't believe you're here either," I mumbled, closing my eyes as I felt her heart beating against me. Pulling away, she looked up at me and I used this chance to ask her, "What are you doing here?" She looked at me, then averted her gaze with her teeth sinking down on her bottom lip. She shook her head, shrugging, "I don't know if you would believe me if I told you the reason," I knitted my eyebrows together, taking her much smaller hand in my own. I rubbed my thumb on her skin, and she watched my thumbs as I did, seemingly interested in the anchor tattoo I had on my finger. "When have I never believed you?" Her lips curled upwards ever so slightly, and she let out a puff of air. "I missed you Michael, and I know I've made mistakes in the past and you probably don't want anything to do with me anymore but..." she paused, her beautiful eyes meeting my own and I could feel my heart pounding loudly in my chest with every word. "I'm still in love with you, c-can we start again?" I couldn't even believe what I was hearing, I never thought she would want to be with me again after all the shit we went through, and this just doesn't feel real. A smile crept on my lips and I nodded, leaning in to whisper, "It's never too late to bring us back to life," before my lips connecting with hers, and the sparks I always felt whenever we kissed were reignited. She wrapped her arms around my neck, smiling into the kiss that started out slow but soon escalated into something more, the spark catching fire and we were already on fire. I kissed down her neck, sucking on the skin harshly, earning a quiet moan from the girl beneath me. She pushed me away slightly, and pulled her shirt above her head, smiling at me while she did. I took mine off as well, and she licked her lips, making me bite down on my lip. I placed a kiss on her nose, before pulling my jeans off my legs. She also kicked her shoes off, taking off the skinny jeans I bought for her a long time ago, before all the shit went down between us. I can't believe we were doing this again, I can't remember the last time we did this and I've missed it - I missed the way she felt, the way she looked like and the way she would look at me. I smiled, hovering over her whispering those three little words before placing my lips on hers once more.
