Calum
I lay my head on Calum's bare chest as his hand gently rubbed up and down my naked back. I sighed in bliss at our state, both of our naked bodies just wrapped in the crisp bed sheets. Calum gently took my leg, putting it over his own so that we could be closer, even though there wasn't even an inch between us.
"How did I get so lucky?" he sighed in bliss. I looked up at him and smiled.
"I've been asking myself the same thing since we met." I spoke.
"Yeah, but...I don't even know, you're just perfect." He admitted, a slight blush forming on his cheeks.
"I'm not. I just love you, but that's close enough." I whispered. He smiled before gently placing our lips together. I rested my head back on his chest as his hand moved to my hair. Suddenly, I had to fight against the urge to fall asleep, which Calum must have sensed.
"It's okay, baby, you can go to sleep, I've got you." He whispered gently.
"I love you." I mumbled as I closed my eyes.
"I love you too." He returned, placing a kiss on my head and moving his fingers through my hair.
Luke
I opened my eyes as I heard the front door shut, followed by a loud sigh. I opened the door and saw Luke sitting on the sofa, head just resting against the back pillow. I walked out and he looked down at me.
"Hey, babe." He smiled tiredly. I returned it before straddling his lap. We just looked at each other as his hands rested on my thighs. He smiled at me.
"What?" I grinned slightly, making him shrug.
"You're just...beautiful." He shook his head. I smiled at him before leaning forward and gently pecking his lips. I leant back but he pecked my lips again, making my smile widen. He returned it as I rested my head in the crook of his neck, allowing his hands to rub my back.
"You tired, baby?" I asked.
"Yeah. It was a long day in the studio." He sighed.
"Let's go to sleep then." I spoke as I pushed him back so that he was lying on the sofa. I leant down, resting my head against his chest so that I was lying on top of him.
"I love you, baby." He whispered.
"I love you too." I mumbled.
Michael
I lay on the sofa, watching TV with my legs hanging over Michael's lap. He looked at me.
"Baby, are you ticklish?" Michael asked.
"I can't trust you with that information." I chuckled.
"I'm taking that as a yes." He grinned, grabbing my ankles. My eyes widened.
"Don't you fucking dare." I warned. He smiled before running his fingers over the base of my feet.
"No!" I squealed as I kicked out, trying to get my ankles out of his grip. He laughed at my reaction as he continued to tickle me.
"Michael! If you love me, you'll stop!" I cried with laugher. He stopped and looked at me.
"I love you, so I stopped." He smiled. I returned it.
"How did I get so lucky?" I whispered.
"I always think the same thing." He shrugged.
"I love you." I spoke.
"I love you too." He replied.
Ashton
I opened my eyes and groaned at what I saw. I looked at the window to see heavy snow outside. I sighed as I looked at Ashton to see that he was still asleep, his curly hair flopping over his closed eyes. I took the cover off of my legs and got out of bed to grab some clothes so that I could get ready. Suddenly, I was swept off of my feet as Ashton picked me up bridal style and walked back to the bed.
"Ash, what are you doing?" I chuckled.
"Bringing you back to bed." He answered simply.
"Ash, baby, I have a meeting today, I need to get ready." I sighed.
"No. It's snowing outside, and I left the comfort of my warm, soft sheets to bring you back to bed, you're cuddling with me." He grinned.
"Oh my god, fine." I gave in as he lay me down and climbed in next to me before wrapping his arm around my waist, pulling me closer.
"You're nice and warm." He mumbled into my hair before closing his eyes again.
Calum
I lay on my bed, surrounded by books and notes. I groaned as I put my pencil down.
"Fuck this." I mumbled to myself before shoving my earphones in and turning on my music before closing my eyes.
I slowly opened my eyes as the pencil was taken out of my hand. I opened my eyes slightly to see Calum collecting up my folders and notes before placing them on my desk. He came back to me and smiled gently as he saw that I was awake. He leant down and took out one of my earphones, placing a kiss on my jaw.
"Hey, baby girl." He whispered as he took out the other earphone, placing feathery kisses over my face. I smiled at his gesture as he pressed the pause button on my phone before lying down next to me. He leant over my body and placed my phone on my bedside table before running his hand over my waist and pulling me closer.
"Go back to sleep, babe." He mumbled before kissing my cheek and pulling me closer again. I nodded and curled into his body before closing my eyes again.
Luke
I stood in the rain, looking around. I looked down at my phone. The screen showed me that my date was two hours late. Suddenly, the screen faded and turned black as my battery died.
"No, no, no." I groaned as my tears dropped onto the black screen. I choked as I shoved it into my pocket. Suddenly, a car pulled up and stopped next to me. The window rolled down and I smiled at who it was.
"Get in." Luke sighed. I nodded a small thanks before opening the door and climbing in and out of the rain. The tears continued to fall as I looked straight ahead, not even bothering to stop the hair from sticking to my face. I heard Luke sigh as we just sat there.
"What happened?" he asked, making me shrug.
"I got stood up." I spoke. Luke nodded and looked at me.
"How late was he?" he asked.
"Two hours late." I mumbled.
"Why didn't you just leave, instead of standing out in the rain-."
"Because I really liked this one, and he seemed so nice and...I feel so stupid." I cried. He sighed as he pulled me into his chest. I cried into his shirt as I rested my head in the crook of his neck.
"It's okay. You're okay." He mumbled into my hair.
"How could I be so stupid?" I choked.
"No, you weren't stupid, you liked him, that's okay." He reassured, stroking my hair.
"Thanks." I sniffed as I sat back into my seat.
"Let's go." I mumbled. Luke looked at me and nodded before setting off.
Michael
I screamed as I jolted up and away from sleep. My chest heaved up and down as tears rolled down my cheeks. I gulped as I felt two hands cup my cheeks and turn my face towards the owner.
"Talk to me, baby girl, talk to me." Michael spoke gently. I looked at him.
"We were on a cliff...you were pushed...you fell...onto the rocks..." I choked. He sighed and nodded as he pulled me into his body. I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck, holding onto him for dear life. I buried my face in the crook of his neck as he rubbed his hands up and down my back.
"It's okay, babe, it wasn't real, I'm okay, you're okay." He cooed softly.
"I'm overreacting, I'm sorry, it was just a stupid dream." I sighed.
"No, it's okay, baby, vivid dreams can be terrifying." He reassured. I closed my eyes and nodded.
"Come on, we need to sleep." He spoke as he lay us down.
"Goodnight. I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too." He mumbled, placing a kiss on my head. I rested my head against his chest, letting his gentle heartbeat lull me back to sleep.
Ashton
I opened my eyes and looked at the time. 1:30am. I groaned as I turned over and put my arm out, going to curl it around Ashton's waist. But instead, it collided with the empty sheets. I opened my eyes and looked at it before remembering where he was. Tears pricked my eyes and I grabbed my phone. I pressed Ashton's name and held the phone to my ear before laying back.
"Hello?" he picked up quietly.
"Hey." I mumbled. He paused.
"You okay, baby girl?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just...miss you." I muttered.
"I miss you too, but what brought this on in the middle of the night?" he asked. I shrugged to myself.
"I rolled over and went to put my arm around your waist and-." I stopped as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Why are you up?" I asked. He sighed.
"Well, Michael and Calum got drunk, so they're currently singing really loudly, and Luke is writing a song, so I'm up." He chuckled. I giggled before the call was filled with silence.
"I can't stop thinking about you, princess." He admitted. I smiled to myself as the tears continued to fall, wetting my pillow.
"You're all that I think about too." I whispered. I heard him sigh.
"Can you sing me to sleep?" I asked.
"Sure. What do you want?" he asked.
"Beside you." I responded.
"Baby, are you sure that that's the best song, considering why you called-."
"Please, Ash." I spoke.
"Okay, baby girl. Close your eyes." He said. I let my eyes close and held the phone close to my ear.
"She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home, I wish I was, I wish I was, beside you." He sang gently.
"She lies awake, I'm trying to find the words to say, I wish I was, I wish I was, beside you." I let the tears fall, continuing to wet the fabric of the pillow as my eyes closed and I drifted into sleep.
Calum
"Fuck!" I sighed as I shut off my phone.
"Fucking hell!" the door slammed shut, signalling that Calum was home. I went to the doorway of the living room to see him shooting straight up the stairs. I sighed as I walked after him. When I got half way up the staircase, I heard the shower being turned on. I continued to walk up the stairs. I walked along the corridor, the sound of running water getting louder and louder. I walked into the bathroom and saw the shower curtain closed. I pulled my top over my head and yanked my jeans down my legs before taking off my underwear and unclasping my bra. I pulled back the curtain to see Calum looking down with one hand against the shower wall, just letting the water run over his hair and down his face. He turned his head and looked at me.
"Hey." He gave me a small smile. I returned it as I climbed into the shower and stood between Calum and the wall. I looked up at him.
"What's up?" I asked quietly. He sighed and shook his head.
"Calum." I spoke. He looked at me.
"Just...nothing seems to be going right for me right now." He mumbled.
"Why's that?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I keep fucking up in the studio, I haven't written a song that isn't a piece of shit in weeks, I just...I'm not good enough." He choked. I sighed as I wrapped my arms around his torso and rested my head against his chest.
"You are good enough, babe. A bad week or two doesn't immediately mean you're not good enough. Everyone has their times, it's okay." I reassured. He sighed and nodded, rubbing his hands up and down my naked back. I looked up at him, making him smile gently at me as he leant down and pressed our lips together. I smiled into it before breaking it.
"Did you just come in here to make me feel better?" he asked.
"Maybe." I smiled. He chuckled before pecking my lips again.
Luke
I smiled as I stood at the doorway to our bedroom, watching Luke put Zoe into her first swimsuit.
"We're going swimming, aren't we?" he smiled at her, causing her to return it as she kicked her legs against the bed. He looked at me.
"How are we going to do this?" he asked.
"You get in the pool, I'll bring her out and then I'll give her to you." I shrugged as I walked to the bed.
"Okay." He nodded before leaving the room.
"Hello, princess." I smiled at Zoe as I picked her up. I walked through the house, opening the back-door and walking out into the garden. Luke was in the pool and swam to the edge.
"Where's her water seat?" I asked.
"Right here." He spoke, grabbing the inflatable and pulling it over to him. I outstretched my arms, bringing her out with them as Luke reached out for her.
"You got her?" I asked.
"Yeah." He nodded, bringing her against his chest.
"Hello, baby girl." He smiled at her as he placed her into the water seat. She giggled at the feeling of the water as she tried to grab it. I chuckled at her as I climbed in and swam over to Luke. We just watched her playing for a moment before I felt Luke's arm curl around my waist.
"I love you, you know that, right?" I looked at him to see him looking straight into my eyes.
"Of course I know that." I smiled gently. He returned it before pressing our lips together, making Zoe wail and gurgle.
"Don't complain at the sight of mummy and daddy kissing, little miss cockblock." He chuckled.
"Luke!" I laughed.
"I'm kidding, you know I love my little princess." He smiled as he began to push Zoe's water seat about gently.
Michael
I opened my eyes as I heard the front door shut. I got up and walked out into the hallway to see Michael putting his keys down.
"Hey, babe." I spoke. He didn't say anything as he walked up to me.
"Michael, what-." He bent down and grabbed my legs, making me squeal as he threw me over his shoulder. I laughed as he carried me up the stairs and along to our bedroom. He opened the door and gently put me down before lying on top of me and shutting his eyes.
"Babe..." I chuckled.
"Hmm?" he mumbled.
"What are you doing?" I asked. He looked at me.
"I've had the worst day ever in the studio, and all I could think about, all day, was just getting home and going to bed, and cuddling up to my beautiful girlfriend. So, I decided when I was leaving, "fuck it, that's what I'm going to do"." He spoke, smiling at me. I chuckled.
"Okay then." I nodded.
"Great." He sighed in bliss before burying his face in the crook of my neck.
"Goodnight, Y/N."
"Goodnight, Michael."
Ashton
I sighed as I shut the front door and took off my coat, ignoring the greetings from Ashton. I walked up the stairs and along into the bathroom before shutting the door. I turned the taps on, making water rush into the bathtub as I started to strip my clothes off. I stood in my bra and underwear, waiting for the bath to fill up. Soon enough, it was full and I tied my hair back. I took off my underwear and bra before stepping in and lying back. I sighed in bliss as I closed my eyes.
"Babe?" I looked up to see Ashton stood at the doorway.
"Hey, sorry that I didn't say hi, I've had a very long day." I sighed.
"You want to talk about it?" he asked.
"No." I shook my head.
"Okay." He nodded before coming fully in and shutting the door. He pulled his top over his head and yanked his jeans down his legs before pulling his boxers off too.
"Budge up." He spoke as he put one leg into the bathtub. I smiled at him as he climbed in behind me. He pulled me back so that my head was resting against his chest as I lay in between his legs.
"I don't like seeing you stressed." He mumbled, running his hands through my hair and placing a kiss on my head every so often.
"Why? Because you don't get laid when I'm stressed?" I joked. He chuckled.
"No. Just because I don't like seeing my princess upset and struggling." He shrugged, making me smile at his words.
"That's really sweet, Ash." I spoke, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I'm glad you think so, babe." He smiled.
Michael
I sighed as I shut the front door and put down my bags. I groaned as my stomach growled but that disappeared as a lovely smell filled my nose.
"Michael?" I called out.
"In here, babe." He yelled from the kitchen. I walked through and saw him standing at the stove, cooking something.
"Hey, baby girl." He smiled.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Luke called me today and said you'd had a shitty day at work, and that you'd been ranting to him over the phone all day, so I thought I'd cook your favourite meal for dinner." He spoke. I smiled at him as I went behind him and curled my arms around his waist, kissing his shoulder before resting my chin against it.
"Thank you, I love you so much." I sighed in bliss.
"Anything for my princess." He smiled, pecking my cheek.
Calum
"Babe, come on, we're going to be late!" Calum yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"We're not going to be late, I'm ready." I sighed as I walked down the stairs.
"You look stunning, but you need a jacket." He spoke, smirking slightly as his eyes skimmed up and down my body.
"No, I don't." I shook my head. He looked back at my eyes.
"You do. It's going to be freezing tonight." He scoffed.
"I'll be fine." I shrugged as I grabbed my purse and walked out of the door.
"Alright, but when you're freezing your ass off later, you won't be getting my jacket." He scoffed before following me.
Calum drove us up to the look-out point and the car stopped slowly. I climbed out of the car and hissed slightly as the cool air hit my skin. I hugged myself, knowing I couldn't show Calum how fucking cold I was. I shivered as I walked to the front of the car and looked out. Suddenly, I felt my shoulders warming. I smiled as Calum hung his jacket on my shoulders.
"Told you so." He mumbled, kissing my head.
"Thanks." I muttered, giving him a sheepish smile.
"It's okay. You look cute in my jacket." He smiled as he took a seat on the hood of the car.
Luke
I opened my eyes slowly and yawned as I stretched out. I looked down, smiling at the sight of my naked body wrapped in the sheets of the bed. I looked to my side to see Luke just staring at the ceiling, his hands against his stomach and the sheets covering him waist down.
"Morning." I spoke. He looked at me.
"Morning, baby girl." He smiled.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" he asked, rolling onto his front.
"I don't know, you just looked kind of zoned out." I shrugged. He chuckled and returned it as he rested his chin on my stomach and looked up at me.
"I was just thinking." He spoke.
"About what?" I asked, running my hand through his hair and pulling slightly at his roots, just the way he liked it.
"Just...things. Like the way I want to marry you." He shrugged, as if it was the most normal thing to admit. My eyes widened slightly as I stopped and took my hand out of his hair.
"Is this a proposal?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
"It is." He nodded, taking my hand and pressing his lips against my skin. I looked at him.
"Yes." I whispered as I smiled. He returned it, kissing my stomach through the sheets before moving up my body and pressing our lips together.
Michael
"I'm home!" I yelled as I shut the door and took my shoes off.
"Michael?" I called out. Nothing.
"Oh, god." I mumbled, knowing that the house being silent wasn't a good sign. I walked through the house, looking through each room.
"Where is he?" I muttered to myself. I peeked into Carla's nursery and smiled at the sight. Michael was sat on the floor, his guitar on his lap as baby Carla sat opposite him, squealing and reaching out for the strings.
"Come on, C, you can do it." Michael encouraged, gently taking her hand and brushing it against the strings. She squealed at the out-of-tune sound that she made.
"That's it. Daddy is so proud of his princess, you're doing so well." He smiled at her. I bit my lip, trying to suppress my smile as I walked into the nursery. Carla spotted me and squealed, grabbing out for me and alerting Michael to my presence as he turned around and looked at me.
"Hey, babe." He smiled, standing up and pecking my lips.
"Hey. How has she been?" I asked as I picked Carla up.
"Fine. She was a bit whiney at first, but then I brought out my guitar and she settled right down. I've been playing for five hours." He chuckled.
"Well, I think we have a future guitar player to play next to daddy." I smiled at her, making her giggle.
"I love the sound of that." He chuckled, peppering her face with kisses and making her laugh.
Ashton
I shut the front door and sighed as I put down my bags. I took my coat and shoes off before walking up the stairs and into our bedroom. I sighed as I collapsed onto the bed and closed my eyes.
I opened my eyes slightly as I heard Ashton walk through the bedroom and into the en-suite. I looked up as I heard the bath taps being turned on before Ashton walked back into the room.
"Tough day, huh?" he asked, crouching down so that our faces were inches apart.
"You have no idea." I mumbled, looking at him.
"Come on." He spoke, making me sit up before taking my hands and making me stand up.
"What?" I sighed.
"I can tell that you've had the day from hell," He chuckled as he pulled my top over my head.
"So, I'm running you a bath." He shrugged, unbuttoning my jeans and pulling them down my legs.
"You didn't have to do that." I spoke.
"But I wanted to. I don't like seeing my princess stressed." He spoke, unclasping my bra and pulling my underwear down my legs. I smiled at him before pecking his lips.
"Thank you." I sighed in bliss.
"No problem, babe. Now, go and de-stress." He chuckled, pecking my lips again before shutting the bathroom door.
Calum
"I'm home!" I called out as I shut the front door.
"Cal? Babe?" I yelled. Nothing.
"Guess I'm home alone." I sighed as I dug out my phone and plugged it into the docking station. I hit "shuffle" and smiled as "Girls talk boys" came on. I started to dance to it, swinging my hips to the sound of the music.
"Because I've been talking to my friends." I sung gently.
"The way you take away my breath." I opened my eyes and smiled as I saw Calum standing there, smiling at me.
"It's something bigger than myself." I sang at him. He grabbed the remote and changed the song. "Remembering Sunday" came on and I smiled at the sound of our song. He returned it and bit his lip as he walked forwards and wrapped his arms around my waist. He leant down and buried his face in my neck, gently kissing my skin. I closed my eyes and smiled, enjoying the feeling of being close to Calum.
"This is so nice." I spoke gently.
"It is. And, babe, I love you, but no talking. Just you, me, and the music." He mumbled into my neck. I nodded and closed my eyes again, sinking further into Calum's arms and letting him sway us gently to the music.
Luke
I opened my eyes slightly and looked at the time. 3:45am. I groaned and rolled over so that I was facing Luke. He instinctively wrapped am arm around me and pulled me closer. I opened one eye slightly as I heard the bedroom door creak open, followed by small sniffles. Luke opened his eyes and sat up slightly.
"That you, baby?" he mumbled.
"It's me, daddy." Zoe spoke in a small voice.
"What's wrong?" he yawned.
"I had a bad dream." She mumbled, tiredly rubbing her eye.
"Oh, we can't have that, can we? I think you better come here and cuddle up with mummy and daddy." He spoke. She nodded before climbing up onto the bed and walking across the covers, though being tripped up slightly by the feet of her oversized onesie.
"Come here, baby." Luke spoke. Zoe put herself in between us and snuggled into Luke's body, making him wrap an arm around her.
"What was the bad dream about?" Luke asked, gently running his hand through her hair.
"You left for tour, and you never came back." She sniffed.
"Oh dear. I see why that made you upset." He nodded.
"But do you know why daddy will always come back?" he asked. She shook her head.
"Because if a dream is bad, it can't come true, so daddy will always come home to his Zoe and her mummy. See, I love my princesses so much, and you're my whole life. I will always come back to you." He reassured.
"You promise?" she mumbled quietly.
"I promise." He nodded. She returned it.
"Come on, honey, we should get some sleep. And let's hope we haven't woken mummy up because otherwise, we're both in trouble." He chuckled, making me playfully smack his arm.
"Ow. Yeah, we're in trouble." He chuckled before closing his eyes again and pulling me and Zoe close again.
Michael
I tied my hair back and did up the final strap on my dungarees.
"Morning, babe-wow." I turned around to see Michael smirking at me.
"I'm loving this whole, I don't know, decorator look." He smirked, skimming his eyes over my body.
"What else am I going to wear today?" I scoffed. His eyes widened as he gave me a questioning look. I sighed.
"We're painting the spare room today, that's why we emptied it last week." I nodded. He continued to stare blankly at me.
"You literally bought the paint and brushes yesterday." I spoke. His mouth formed into an "O".
"Oh, yeah, I remember. Okay, let's do this." He smiled.
Michael and I stood in the spare room, painting the walls a cream colour. I squealed as Michael suddenly smacked my ass. I looked down and sighed as there was a paint handprint on my ass.
"Really?" I sighed.
"I'm just making my mark on you." He chuckled. I returned it before getting my paintbrush and swiping it along his face.
"Oh, babe. You've started a war." He chuckled as he grabbed his paintbrush and ran towards me.
"No!" I squealed as I turned to run but didn't get to as Michael's arms flew around my waist and he lifted me up.
"Let me go!" I laughed.
"Not until I do this." He grinned, moving the paintbrush so that I could see it.
"No!" I giggled, moving his face.
"Babe, stop moving so I can paint you." He laughed. I returned it as he tapped the paintbrush against my nose.
"Yes!" he laughed before putting me down.
Ashton
I screamed as I jolted up and out of sleep. I panted heavily, tears streaming down my face. I gulped and hugged myself tightly. I sighed as I felt Ashton sit up next to me and put an arm around me.
"Talk to me, baby girl, talk to me." He mumbled, moving a strand of hair out of the way and replacing it with a gentle kiss.
"It was...it was just a nightmare." I muttered, shaking my head.
"Talk to me." He repeated.
"You're going to think I'm silly." I gulped, looking at him.
"I'll never think that you're silly, babe." He spoke. I sighed and nodded.
"I just...I had a dream where you, um, you cheated on me and...left me for her." I admitted. He sighed and nodded before pulling me into his body.
"Baby, you know I would never do any of that to you." He promised.
"I know, that's why I feel so silly." I mumbled.
"You're not silly, baby girl. It's okay to be afraid of things like that. But I assure you, I would never leave you, and I would certainly never cheat on you. I'll die before I do either of those things." He promised. I sighed and nodded as he placed kisses along my neck.
"It's okay. Come on, let's get some sleep." He mumbled, pulling me back so that we were lying down, my head against his chest.
"Goodnight, Y/N. I love you so much." He spoke, kissing my head.
"I love you too, Ash." I muttered before closing my eyes.
Calum
I sighed as I sat at the kitchen table, looking through different recipes.
"Come on, babe, we need to start baking." Calum spoke eagerly.
"Okay, okay, I think I've found the perfect cookie recipe." I chuckled as I stood up and put on my apron.
"Shit." I turned around and burst into laughter as I saw Calum covered in flour, his dark brown hair now purely white.
"What the fuck did you do?" I laughed, holding my stomach and walking over to him.
"Well, the flour was on top of the cupboard, so I got it down, but I dropped it." He chuckled. I laughed at him.
"Hey, babe." He smiled. I looked at him. He shook his head, making me squeal as flour went everywhere, including on me.
"Well, that's about a batch of cookies worth of flour that we've just wasted." I sighed.
"Ah well." He shrugged. I sighed as I turned around to look at the recipe. I smiled as I felt Calum's arms wrap around my waist but that faded as I felt him rubbing his hair into my neck.
"What are you doing?" I chuckled.
"I have to get the flour out of my hair somehow." He spoke. My eyes widened and I tried to get out of his grip as I realised what he was doing but he wouldn't let me go.
"Calum, stop!" I laughed, finally getting out of his grip.
"Aww." He pouted.
Luke
I sat at the kitchen table, surrounded by my books and notes. I sighed as I ran my hands through my hair.
"I'm home!" Luke yelled, followed by the sound of the door shutting.
"And I'm in the kitchen." I shouted back. He walked in and sighed.
"We talked about this, babe." He spoke.
"Talked about what?" I asked.
"You know what. You working way too hard and stressing yourself out." He said, putting the bags on the counter.
"Well, I need to get it done." I sighed.
"How long has it been since you've taken a break?" He asked, walking behind me and running his hands down my arms.
"Half an hour..." I muttered.
"Don't lie to me, baby girl." He mumbled, kissing my cheek.
"Fine. Three hours." I gave in.
"That's what I thought. You're getting a quick de-stress." He spoke.
"What do you mean-." I stopped talking as Luke gently squeezed my shoulders.
"Jesus, fuck, that's good." I sighed, closing my eyes.
"What can I say, I'm good at massages." Luke chuckled, gently kissing my head. I closed my eyes, enjoying the simple feeling.
"Wow, Luke. You need to share this talent more often." I chuckled.
"You feel better?" he asked. I looked at him.
"Loads." I smiled. He returned it before leaning down and pressing our lips together gently.
Michael
I shivered, holding my wet body as Michael shut the door to his apartment.
"Can I take a shower? I'm absolutely freezing." I sighed.
"Sure. Can I join you?" he asked.
"Mikey, I'm really not in the mood for-."
"No, neither am I, but I want to be close to you." He spoke. I smiled gently at him.
"Sure. We can shower together." I nodded. He gave me a small smile before taking my hand and walking us along to the bathroom. I turned on the shower as Michael shut the door. I unzipped my jeans and pulled them down my legs. Michael took my hips and gently turned me around so that I was facing him. I gave him a small smile, which he returned as he pulled my top over my head. I did the same to him and started to unbuckle his jeans as he unclasped my bra. He pulled it from my body before taking his boxers off. He got down on his knees and gently pulled my underwear down, placing a kiss on my legs every so often. He bit his lip and smiled as he took my hand and pulled me under the jet of water. I sighed in bliss, relishing the feeling of the hot water running over my body and down my back. I wrapped my arms around Michael's torso and rested my head against his chest, closing my eyes to the sound of his gentle heartbeat.
"I love you so much, Y/N." he mumbled, kissing my head.
"I love you too, Mikey." I responded.
Ashton
I sat on the doorstep of Ashton's apartment building, letting the rain soak my body as tears ran down my cheeks. I looked at my phone, at the messages that I'd sent to Ashton.
Me: Please let me in, I'm sorry.
Me: I didn't mean any of it, please.
Me: I'm begging you, let me fix this.
I closed my eyes, allowing more tears to flow out of them.
"Y/N?" I looked up to see Ashton stood on the path, looking at me with sad eyes. I quickly stood up.
"What are you doing here?" he asked quietly.
"I came to try and fix this." I choked. He just looked at me, beads of water forming in his curls.
"Y/N-."
"I know that I fucked up, okay? Trust me, I know, but I can't live without you, and I don't want to, please, just let me try to fix this-." I was cut off by Ashton taking my face and pressing our lips together. I returned it, quickly wrapping my arms around his waist. He broke the kiss and looked at me.
"I haven't been ignoring you, if that's what you think. I left my phone at Luke's." he whispered. I sighed in relief and closed my eyes.
"God, I'm so stupid." I mumbled.
"No, you're not. Look, I knew I'd find you here, so I came home. I'm so sorry for what happened." He spoke.
"It was my fault though." I muttered. He shook his head.
"It doesn't matter now." He reassured before engulfing me in a hug as he buried his face into my neck. I quickly returned the hug.
"I love you, so much." He whispered.
"I love you too." I nodded.
"Jesus, what's wrong with me, you must be freezing." He spoke, quickly taking his jacket off and putting it around me. I smiled at him before taking his face and pressing our lips together again.
Ashton
I shivered as I wrapped the duvet further around my body. I opened my eyes and groaned. Rain pelted gently against the window and Ashton's side of the bed was empty.
"Where the fuck is he?" I mumbled to myself as I sat up.
"Jesus." I hissed, hugging myself in a weak attempt to stop the cold air from hitting my arms. I stood up and shivered as I walked out of the bedroom. I walked down the stairs and into the living room. I sighed as the fire was crackling away quietly and Ashton lay asleep on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket. I stood in front of him.
"Babe." I mumbled, gently shaking his shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes.
"Why are you down here and not in bed?" I asked.
"It's a lot warmer down here." He spoke quietly, opening up the blanket. I gave him a small smile before lying down next to him and snuggling into his chest. He closed the blanket around us and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling my back further into his chest.
"Goodnight, baby girl. I love you." He mumbled into my hair.
"Love you too, Ash." I whispered before closing my eyes.
Michael
I opened my eyes slightly as I heard Michael sit up. I frowned as I heard him stand up and pull on his boxers and joggers before padding quietly out of the room. I sat up and looked at the time. 2:15am. I sighed as I stood up and grabbed Michael's flannel. I put it on over my underwear before walking out of the bedroom. I walked down the stairs and sighed as the back-door was open, the drapes flowing gently in the breeze. I pulled the flannel further around my body as I walked out. Michael was sat on the sofa swing, just looking up at the stars. I walked towards him, making him look down and smile at me.
"Sorry, babe, did I wake you?" he asked, wrapping an arm around my waist as I sat down next to him.
"Sort of, but it's okay. What are you doing out here?" I asked, looking up at him. He shrugged.
"My insomnia is acting up and the night sky is hell of a lot more beautiful than our bedroom ceiling." He spoke. I nodded and pulled my legs up onto the swing, snuggling into his side. He smiled as he kissed my head and wrapped his arm further around my body.
Calum
Calum and I walked into my bedroom, Calum shutting the door behind us.
"So, what are we doing?" he asked.
"Studying." I spoke, getting my books out.
"Urgh, do we have to?" he groaned, slumping down onto my bed.
"Yes, Cal, we have finals in a month." I chuckled as I sat down. Calum groaned again as he lay down but propped himself onto his elbow so that he could face me.
"What are we studying first?" he asked.
"Let's go with biology." I nodded.
I chewed on the end of my pencil, trying to remember the answer to the question that I was doing. I looked at Calum to see him still propped on his elbow, just smiling at me.
"What?" I smiled. He shook his head.
"You just look so cute when you're concentrating." He spoke, biting his lip. I smiled before leaning down and pressing our lips together. I pulled away but Calum leant forward, keeping our lips together. I smiled into it as Calum pulled me onto his lap and lay back so that I was on top of him. He gently broke the kiss and looked at me.
"What was that for?" I smiled. He just looked at me.
"You're just beautiful. You're perfect." He whispered, hovering his lips under mine. I smiled and closed my eyes before joining our lips again.
Luke
I turned my light off and turned my phone off before lying down in my bed. I sighed, missing the feeling of Luke's arm around my middle.
"Just try to sleep, Y/N. He's not coming." I mumbled to myself. A tear fell from my eye as I lay my head against my pillows and closed my eyes.
My eyes shot open as I heard a noise. I looked at the time. 1:30am. I sat up and looked behind me as my window opened. My eyes widened as Luke rolled into my room before standing up.
"Luke, my parents will kill you if they find you here." I mumbled.
"I don't care. I can't fall asleep without you in my arms, so possibly dying is worth it." He chuckled, taking his shoes off before peeling back my covers.
"I love you so much." I smiled as he climbed in next to me and immediately pulled me closer.
"I love you too, baby girl. I'm not letting your parents come between us." He whispered, gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I smiled at him.
"Come on, let's get some sleep." He mumbled, pulling me close.
"I love you, Luke." I whispered, closing my eyes.
"I love you too, Y/N." he returned, kissing my head before pulling me closer once more.
Michael
"I want to go out somewhere." Michael huffed as he rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Where would we go?" I asked.
"Well, it's a beautiful day, let's go to the park." He smiled as he stood up.
"Who are you and what have you done with Michael?" I joked. He frowned at me.
"Okay, babe, let's go to the park." I chuckled as I stood up.
Michael and I walked through the park, hand in hand.
"Hey, let's make a wish." He smiled, pulling me to the water fountain.
"What are you, five?" I chuckled.
"Stop raining on my parade." He laughed. I returned it as he dug a coin out of his pocket. He held it tightly, closing his eyes before opening them again and throwing it into the water.
"What did you wish for?" I asked.
"Well, I can't say, can I? Otherwise, it won't come true." He smiled.
"Please? For me?" I chuckled. He returned it before pulling me close.
"I wished that we would stay together, forever." He whispered, smiling at me.
"Don't worry, babe. That wish will definitely come true." I returned his smile before joining our lips.
Ashton
I opened my eyes slowly and yawned as I looked around. I looked at Ashton's side of the bed and groaned as it was empty.
"Baby." Ashton yelled from the living room.
"Hmm." I mumbled, closing my eyes again.
"Baby." He yelled again.
"What?" I groaned as I sat up.
"Come here." He spoke.
"Why?" I yelled back.
"Just trust me." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes before standing up and walking along to the living room.
"What?" I sighed.
"Our song is playing, and I want to dance." he smiled as he wrapped his arms around my waist, making me chuckle.
"You pulled me out of the comforts of my nice, warm sheets to dance in the comforts of your nice, warm arms?" I grinned.
"Yes." He smiled, making me laugh. He returned it as he swayed us gently to the sound of the music. I laughed as he twirled me around before pulling me back into his body and landing his hand back against my lower back as he continued to sway us to the music.
"I love you, Ash." I smiled.
"I love you too, baby girl." He returned before gently kissing me.
Luke
I sat on the windowsill of Luke's room, looking at the snow falling outside and covering the streets of New York. I smiled, hugging myself slightly and relishing the feeling of Luke's shirt against my skin. My smile widened as I felt Luke come next to me and start to gently pepper kisses along my neck. I moved slightly and joined our lips, making him smile into it as he wrapped an arm around my back and under my legs, picking me up.
"What did I do to deserve this romantic gesture?" I smiled.
"Nothing. I just love you." He whispered, carrying me towards the bed. I smiled and kissed him again as he placed me down on the bed and crawled in next to me.
"I think that the weather outside grants us a lazy day." He sighed in bliss, pulling me under the covers and pulling me closer.
"I agree. I'm in the mood to just stay in bed all day and order a pizza or two." I chuckled.
"And maybe a little sex later?" he smirked, wiggling his eyebrows. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Maybe." I nodded, laughing.
"I'm glad to hear that. Anyway, let's get some sleep." He smiled before wrapping an arm around my waist and nuzzling his face into my neck before closing his eyes.
Michael
I yawned as I sat up and looked around. I shivered slightly and hugged myself before realising that Michael's side of the bed was empty. I groaned and stood up, tightly wrapping his flannel around my body in a weak attempt to get some more heat. I wandered downstairs and smiled at what I saw. The fire was quietly crackling away and Michael sat on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket as he held a mug in his hands.
"How long have you been up?" I asked as I sat next to him, making him look at me.
"Not long. Only half an hour, maybe." He shrugged, smiling slightly as he lifted the blanket up and put it over my lap before pulling me closer.
"What are you drinking?" I asked.
"Mum's tea." He spoke.
"Ooh, I love your mum's tea." I chuckled as I took the mug from him and took a sip.
"You're so lucky that I love you, I would murder anyone else who tried to drink that." He laughed, making me smile.
"You know I love you, right?" he asked gently, looking at me whilst moving his hand through my hair.
"Of course I know that you love me. I love you too." I smiled. He returned it before gently kissing me.
Calum
I opened my eyes and yawned as I looked around. My eyebrows furrowed as Calum's side of the bed was empty. I sat up, holding the sheets against my bare chest. I stood up and put on Calum's dress shirt before wandering to the open doors that led to the balcony. I chuckled to myself as I saw Calum sitting on the edge of the balcony with his back against the wall of the hotel, eating cereal out of the box.
"Morning, you." I spoke. He looked at me and smiled.
"Morning, babe." he said. I smiled before jumping up onto the balcony edge and sitting opposite Calum. He handed me the cereal box.
"Babe, can I ask you something?" he asked.
"Sure." I nodded, popping a bit of cereal into my mouth.
"What do your tattoos mean? I'm just curious, you know what mine mean, so I thought that you'd return the favour." He shrugged, looking at me.
"Sure." I nodded again as I gave him the cereal box. I unbuttoned his dress shirt slightly and pulled it off of my right shoulder before showing him.
"The letters are my parents' and brother's initials." I spoke before putting it back on and rolling up the left sleeve. I showed him the inside of my arm.
"That's my favourite 5sos lyric." I said before showing the inside of my right wrist.
"And that's the date that we met." I smiled. He returned it.
"Wow. I didn't realise I meant that much to you." He spoke.
"Of course. You're my soulmate." I admitted quietly. He smiled before leaning in and kissing me.
"I feel the same about you." He admitted. I smiled before kissing him again.
"And, I think it's time that I add you to my collection." He nodded. I bit my lip.
"As what?" I asked. He sat back.
"I was thinking, a ring around my wedding finger, with your name inside of it." He spoke. My eyes widened.
"And one for you too, with my name on your finger." He said.
"Are you asking me what I think you are?" I whispered. He nodded.
"So, what do you say?" he asked. I smiled.
"Yes." I spoke. He returned my smile before gently kissing me.
Luke
I opened my eyes slightly and looked around. I looked at the time to see that it was only 1:45am. I smiled as I turned around in Luke's arms and snuggled back into his chest. My eyes opened again as I heard something. I looked up and gulped as I saw Luke's eyes squeezing closed more than they were before.
"No...no...please..." he mumbled, shaking his head slightly.
"Please...no." he choked, holding me tighter.
"Shh, shh, Luke, I'm here." I whispered, gently cupping his cheek.
"Y/N, no...please, don't...no." he whimpered, gripping my torso and resting his head in the crook of my neck.
"I'm here, baby, I'm here." I mumbled, running my hands through his hair. He stopped whimpering as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around before looking up at me.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I just had a bad dream." He mumbled.
"I know." I nodded. He looked back up at me.
"What?" he asked.
"You were mumbling in your sleep and your grip on me sort of got tighter." I chuckled. He looked down at his arms that were still wrapped tightly around my torso.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled, moving his arms.
"It's okay. It was kind of flattering actually, I could tell the dream was about me because you were mumbling my name and holding onto me tighter." I spoke. He sighed and nodded.
"I was having a nightmare, where the house was on fire and you were still inside, and...I couldn't save you." He admitted quietly. I sighed and nodded as I wrapped my arm around his waist.
"Well, I'm alive, and I'm fine, so we should try to get some sleep." I nodded.
"No, I...I know that it's silly, but I don't want to go back to sleep yet. Will you stay up with me?" he asked softly.
"Of course." I smiled. He returned it and pulled me closer, making me rest my head against his chest as he rested his cheek against my hair.
Michael
I opened my eyes and looked around slowly. I pulled my tear-soaked face away from my pillow and sniffed. I looked at Michael's empty side of the bed, longing for him to be there. I grabbed my phone and my eyes widened at all of the Twitter notifications I had. I reluctantly clicked on it and choked at what I saw.
@5sosupdates tweeted: Michael Clifford's girlfriend, Y/N Y/L/N, received tragic news last night, as she found out that her mum had passed away.
I shut my phone off and threw it onto the bed before holding my head in my hands.
"Is nothing fucking private?" I mumbled to myself. Suddenly, there was a knock on my apartment door. I grumbled as I got out of bed and walked through my apartment. I opened the door and gasped.
"Michael." I choked.
"I came as soon as I heard, I'm so sorry." He puffed. More tears left my eyes as I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck, making him quickly wrap his arms around my waist and return the hug. He picked me up and carried me to the sofa before gently putting me down onto it.
"Hey, hey, you're okay." He spoke gently, wiping away my tears as we sat down.
"What happened?" he asked softly. I gulped and looked down.
"She just had a heart attack, out of the blue. It just happened." I choked. He sighed and nodded before pulling me back into his body.
"I'm so sorry, love, I'm so sorry." He mumbled, running his hands through my hair.
"Just stay with me." I muttered.
"Of course, baby girl. I'm not going anywhere." He reassured, gently kissing my head.
Ashton
Tears ran down my face as I looked at my phone. At the photo of Ashton at the party that he went to last night. I choked as the photo showed him laughing at whatever the blonde girl stood next to him had said as she also laughed, her hand on his arm. I shut my phone off as I heard the front door open. I walked out to see Ashton putting his keys down.
"Hey, babe-." His eyes widened as he saw me crying.
"Oh my god, what's wrong?" he asked as he rushed to me and took my face in his hands.
"Get off of me." I mumbled.
"Not until you tell me what's wrong-."
"How about you ask the girl who you were talking to last night?" I choked. He looked at me.
"What?" he asked.
"You know the one. The beautiful, tall, model-like blonde, who's prettier, slimmer, taller and probably funnier than me." I cried. He shook his head.
"Okay, first of all, she's just a friend, nothing happened, also, no, babe, why are you putting yourself down like this?" he asked quietly.
"Because it's true, Ash. She's pretty, tall, slim, she looks fucking hilarious-."
"Sure, she's not bad-looking, and yeah, she's a nice person, but you're beautiful, baby. You're the funniest, kindest, most genuine person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting." He spoke, taking my face. I sniffed as I looked up at him.
"You're absolutely stunning, baby girl. And I love that you're a foot smaller than me, it means that I can do this." He smiled before resting his chin on my head and making me giggle.
"You okay, now?" he smiled. I looked at him.
"Nothing happened?" I gulped.
"Nothing happened. I love you too much for that." He shook his head. I smiled and stood on my toes to peck his lips before resting my head on his chest.
"That's another thing I love about the height difference, you have to stand on your toes to kiss me." Ashton smiled.
"Shut up." I laughed.
