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

/112/

Annie lay on her bedroom floor, sketching with her new colored pencils. She was a bit obsessive- no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get Calum's nose right.

He knocked gently on her door. "Annie? You still awake?"

Smiling softly, she sat up and opened the door for him. "Yeah, what's up?"

He came in, walking around to where Annie's sketchbook was. "Is that me?"

"If you got a nose job, yes. I keep trying, but it either always ends up too long or too wide."

He sat down, crossing his legs underneath him and cocking his head, surveying the sketch. "Have you been just doing this from memory?"

"I try, but not for this one. I thought a reference picture would help, but this ones even worse than some of the others." Annie turned her head slightly to the side, staring intently at his nose, trying to see what she was missing. Finally, she gave up. "Can I draw on your face?"

He blinked. "Can you do what on my face?"

"God Calum, get your mind out of the gutter. I said can I draw on your face, nothing else."

Annie went and dug through her bathroom drawers for her eyeliner. She had gotten it recently, and had worn it once or twice since, in an attempt to look more punk rock. But now she uncapped the tube, coming up and sitting in front of Calum.

"May I?"

He rolled his eyes, sitting back slightly so the light was better. "Go ahead."

Biting her lip to avoid squealing, Annie scooted closer, trying to find the right angle. "Tilt your head up a little. No, down. Actually... can you lay down for me?"

Sighing dramatically, Calum lay down. Annie immediately scooted forwards, kneeling over him and carefully placing the eyeliner pen on his jawline.

"I feel like your about to clean my teeth, or knock me out to do surgery." He said, messing Annie up.

  "I'll only knock you out if you keep moving," she warned, putting the pen back on his jawline. He held still, so she keep drawing when he smiled.

  "M'kay. I won't talk then."

  "I swear to God Calum-" She was caught off by Calum grabbing the neckline of her shirt, pulling her down into a kiss. Annie melted into the kiss, immediately forgetting what she was trying to do.

  "Now stop moving," she whispered, finally pulling away.

  Calum bit his lip, trying to keep from smiling as Annie quickly pulled to soft tipped eyeliner across his jawline. She picked it up, and leaned even closer to him, resting her elbow on the ground next to his head. "Let me just...." she started, drawing a very delicate line down the side of his nose, before moving to the other side. "Almost... there." She sat up, looking proudly at her work. "No..." she leaned forewords again, her breath tickling Calum's nose as she drew more lines on his face.

  Annie was focused on drawing the lines, giving herself good guidelines for her drawing, while Calum was just focused on her. He looked at the way she bit her bottom lip when she concentrated, only releasing it to mumble nonsense. He watched as her eyes flickered across his features, and the way they shimmered in the light of the room. There was one wisp of hair that kept on falling in front of her eyes, and Calum gently reached up, brushing it aside. Annie froze, exhaling shakily. Time seemed to stop. It was just them. Just Calum, staring up at Annie as she hovered over him, her lip snagged in between her teeth. "Can I kiss you?" He asked, the words barely audible.

  She barely moved her head, only giving the tiniest nod before lowering herself down, their lips intertwining once more. Calum gripped the back of her head, pulling her in deeper.

  He rested a hand on her back before sitting up slowly, neither of them breaking the kiss.  Gripping underneath her thighs, he pulled her forwards, causing Annie to wrap her legs around his waist.

  Finally they broke apart, gasping for air. Calum rubbed his hands along the curve of her back, the material of Annie's shirt folding under his touch.

  She looked at him and laughed.

  "What?" He asked, completely serious.

  Annie covered her mouth with her hand, trying to contain the laughter to no avail.

  "Seriously, what?" Annie wouldn't stop laughing, so Calum grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in again, pressing his lips against hers roughly before pulling back.

  Annie exhaled deeply at the intensity of the kiss, giggling as she looked back at Calum's face. "You still have the lines on your face," she murmured, slurring the words together as if that would keep him from hearing them. "From the eyeliner. Except now, they'll all smudged."

  "Oh, fuck," he muttered, locking his hand and rubbing it against is face.

  "No, you're just making it worse. Just- here, let me get that for you."  Annie jumped up, going to run to the bathroom to get a damp washcloth before Calum grabbed her hand pulling her back.

  "Nooooo don't gooooo" he mumbled childishly. Annie leaned down, kissing him on the forehead before pushing him back, disconnecting their hands. She ran to the bathroom to get the washcloth, while Calum stayed laying on the floor, groaning.

  "Oh, come on." Annie grumbled, trying to hide her smile when she returned to find Calum still groaning on the floor. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" A look of worry flashed across her face before she saw Calum cross his arms stubbornly. "Oh, you big baby. Sit up do I can wipe the ink off your face."

  She walked over, sitting next to him and going to wipe at his face, only to have him push her hand away. "No. I like it just the way it is."

  "Trust me, you don't. Your jawline are pretty good on their own, but the ink makes them look weird."

  He broke character for a second, laughing. "Who gives a fuck about my jawline?"

  Annie huffed dramatically. "The fandom. Trust me, I know. I always wondered if you could slice cheese with your jawline." She leaned in, wiping the ink off his cheek, this time without him pushing her away.

  Calum laughed. "Oh yeah, talk dirty to me. Mmmm...."

  "Dork."

  "Love you too."

  Calum scrunched up his face as Annie rubbed the remainder of the eyeliner off his skin. "There. All done. Your jawline looks as sharp as ever."

  "Good. That's the only thing I had going for me."
