"It's Not Love If It Hurts" //5sos

/72/

  Calum and Luke had gone on a walk, wanting to check out the area. They weren't out that long, but when they got back it was as if they'd entered a different universe.

  "You'll never get the fair princess!" Ashton declared, Annie draped over his shoulder. She looked up when she heard the door open, giggling at Luke and Calum.

  "We're playing princess. Luke, you should pick up your princess, and you two can join." She grinned devilishly, sticking her tongue out between her teeth.

  Calum laughed, bumping into Luke playfully. "Carry me away, Prince Charming!"

  "No way," he protested, cracking a smile. "You work out too much. You'll be too heavy."

  Calum flexed dramatically, causing Annie to mockingly wolf whistle. "Careful Cal. Don't want to get Luke too excited."

  Ashton jumped, adjusting Annie on his shoulder. "Like I was saying- you'll never get the princess!"

  Michael roared. "I am the most powerful dragon in this realm! I'm unstoppable!"

  They paused. "Annie, that's your line." Ashton whispered.

  "Oh right! Thanks." Annie cleared her throat, then in an overly girly voice, exclaimed, "Oh no! I am a fair princess, and I am in danger of a dragon! What ever shall I do?"

  "Fear not, fair princess!" Ashton exclaimed. "Erm, what's my line?"

  "For I am just the brave prince you so desperately need," Joanna supplied, sitting on the island between the living room and kitchen, her legs dangling. "And then you put her away in the tower. So you can slay the dragon."

  "Wow, this is such a progressive play," Luke groaned, kicking off his shoes. "I wonder how it will end?"

  "It's supposed to get better," Johanna tutted, referring back to the script on her phone. "The princess ends up a lesbian and the prince is so turnt on by the dragon that he lets himself be charred to a crisp. Pretty progressive, if you ask me."

Ashton turned around, grinning. "This is a lot easier with a girl as the princess. Originally, Mikey was going to be the princess, but he was too heavy."

  Michael flicked his purple hair dramatically.

  "I'm going to pass out if you keep holding me like this," Annie decided. Ashton rocked back and forth, causing Annie's whole body to swing lightly. "Hey, stop it!" She smacked the back of his thighs irritatedly, though she was still grinning.

  Ashton gasped indignantly. "How dare you!" He smacked Annie full on the butt, and she giggling.

"You see, this is why the princess turns lesbian. Prince Charming here just doesn't respect me."

  Ashton uprighted her, and Calum quite obviously saw that her face was red. Maybe it was just from being held upside down- or maybe it was from being spanked by Ashton. Annie was grinning from ear to ear.

  Calum felt himself getting a bit red in the face as well.

  Johanna pouted. "Aww, are we stopping the play? We didn't even get to the part where we made out yet!"
