"Oh my god your hair looks amazing!" Ashton shouted as Emmy and Calum walked through his house. Ashton quickly made his way over to Emmy so he could get a closer look at her bright blue hair.

  Emmy smiled widely at him and said "Thanks Ash" as he examined her hair.

"I never thought anyone else would dye their hair other than Michael." He admitted and led the two over to the kitchen for some snacks and drinks.

"Me neither but Cal's always convincing me to do something crazy." Emmy shrugged and stuck her hand in the bowl of chips that Ashton had placed on the counter in front of her. Calum sent the girl a cheeky smile and a wink, causing her to playfully roll her eyes and shove him away.

"Let me see let me see let me see!" Everyone heard Michael running through the house to see Emmy's hair. He was the most excited about her dyeing her hair.

"Oh my god! It looks sick!" He gawked and went to run his fingers through her hair.

"Thanks Mike. Are you proud of me? I'm embracing the Michael Clifford lifestyle."

"I'm very proud. I raised you right!" He said proudly and hugged around her shoulders tightly.

"You guys are all coming to that party next Friday right? I told my college friends that they should expect you to be there." Ashton asked and handed us all some drinks.

"Yeah we're all going. We usually don't turn down a party anyway." Calum confirmed and sat on the stool next to Emmy.

"Awesome! College parties are a lot more fun than high school parties from what I've experienced."

"We'll hold you to that then. I don't want to be let down here." Michael said and started snacking on the bowl of chips.

  The four of them sat in the kitchen waiting for the rest of their friends to get there. When they finally did, they all ate some snacks in the kitchen before the boys had to start band practice.

  Emmy, Nora, and Sammie usually sat and watched, but it was getting sort of late and the three of them had homework that needed to get done.

Emmy finished her final day of school for the week. She quickly made her way home to sit and relax in her bed.

"Home sweet home." She sighed and fell flat on her large bed.

She quickly changed out of her clothes and changed into more comfortable clothing. After taking off all her makeup and throwing her new blue hair up into a messy bun.

"Hey!" Calum walked into her room just before she was about to fall asleep, causing her to groan in annoyance.

"Don't sound so excited." He said sarcastically and laid down next to her.

"I was just about to fall asleep." She groaned and turned towards him.

"You can't sleep. I need you to repaint my nails." He replied and lifted her up so she wouldn't fall asleep.

"Calum can't we do it later?" She whined and blew a stray hair out of her face.

"No you'll be too grouchy. Please baby it'll take like two seconds." Calum begged and sent her his best puppy eyes, except she knew better by now. She knew she had to stand her ground against those puppy dog eyes.

"Don't pull that baby crap with me and don't pull the puppy eyes. It's not going to work. Anytime I do your nails it takes forever and you only ever do black." She complained and laid back down on her mattress.

"But look at them they look horrible and you're the best at it. Please please please I promise I'll behave this time." Calum was always difficult whenever Emmy did his nails. Both of them loved this little bonding activity that they've established months ago, Emmy just hated that he was always difficult. The nail painting process was always difficult and took forever whenever he was involved.

"Do you love me?" She asked and tucked herself underneath the blankets.

"Duh." He answered with an eye roll and shoved his face next to hers.

"Then let me sleep, I had a long week."

"Have I told you how much I love your blue hair? Really brings out those beautiful eyes of yours." She rolled her eyes and turned the other way. She knew when he was sucking up to her, and now was one of those times.

"Calum, I hate you." She mumbled sleepily.

"Don't say that! What if I die tomorrow? Or even tonight? Do you want your last words to be that you hated me?"

"You're not allowed to gaslight me right now Calum. You're not going to die." She answered and felt Calum pick her up and pull her onto his lap.

"Please babe? I'll do whatever you want." He pleaded.

"Let me sleep." She said and rested her forehead on his shoulder.

"After, I promise. It'll be quick and I'll give you my best cuddles after." He squeezed her super tight and pulled her closer to him. She sighed and took a long pause. She knew she couldn't say no anymore, even saying no to those puppy eyes was hard enough on its own. She could never say no to cuddles, especially his.

"Fine go get the stuff." She groaned and got off of him so he could get up. He smiled gratefully at her, kissed her cheek numerous times, and went to go to the bathroom to get everything they'd need.

"I love you." He smiled widely and placed everything down on the bed next to her.

"You better." She said and sat down in front of everything. He sat down behind her with his back against the headboard and her back against his chest.

Emmy took his large hand and started wiping off the old and chipped nail polish from his fingers before doing the same on his other hand. He quietly watched her with his chin rested on her shoulder. Every now and then he'd place a kiss on her cheek or her neck and smile at her, even if she wasn't paying attention to him.

She focused carefully on doing his nails, making sure not to mess anything up. Once all the black was dry she put on a clear top coat just to seal it all in.

"Thank you babe." Calum said gratefully and wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"Cal you're going to ruin it." She scolded and took his hands off of her.

"Thank you." He smiled widely at her and rested his head on her shoulder. She hummed in response and placed a tender kiss on his lips.

"Cuddle me, but be careful of your nails." She demanded and put her nail stuff on her floor to take care of it later.

"I know the drill." He said and waited for her to lay down in his arms.

"Love you." She whispered sleepily and clung onto him.

"Love you more Em." He answered and peppered soft kisses on her cheek until she fell asleep.
