One direction/ 5 seconds of summer one-shots

First time meeting (5sos and 1D)

In the bustling backstage of a massive arena, two worlds collided as the members of 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction met for the first time. Excitement buzzed in the air as both bands prepared for their joint tour, but tension simmered beneath the surface as well.

As the 5SOS boys entered the meeting room, they couldn't contain their energy, joking and goofing off amongst themselves. But the members of One Direction exchanged skeptical glances, unimpressed by their apparent lack of professionalism.

Niall raised an eyebrow as he watched the antics unfold. "Are they always like this?" he murmured to Liam, who shrugged in response.

Their manager, Paul, cleared his throat loudly, trying to regain control of the room. "Gentlemen, let's focus, please," he said sternly, his frustration evident.

The atmosphere grew strained as the meeting continued, with the 1D boys keeping their distance from the seemingly immature 5SOS members. Despite their initial misgivings, the tour went on as planned, but the divide between the two bands remained.

As the days passed, the 5SOS boys couldn't help but notice the frosty reception from their tourmates. They exchanged concerned glances but shrugged it off, focusing instead on their performances and the adoring fans who came to see them.

One night, after a particularly exhilarating show, the 5SOS boys decided to blow off some steam and hit the town. They laughed and danced the night away, oblivious to the consequences of their actions.

The next morning, hungover and bleary-eyed, the 5SOS boys stumbled back to the tour bus, only to be met with glares from their fellow musicians. Louis crossed his arms, his expression stern. "You lot have a show tomorrow. You should be taking care of yourselves, not getting drunk."

Tension crackled in the air as tempers flared, and soon, the two bands were embroiled in a heated argument.

"What's your problem, mate?" Luke snapped, his frustration bubbling over. "We're allowed to have a bit of fun, aren't we?"

Harry shook his head, his tone incredulous. "Fun? This isn't a holiday, Luke. This is a tour, and people are counting on us to deliver."

As the argument escalated, accusations flew back and forth, each side feeling misunderstood and unappreciated.

"You guys need to grow up," Liam chimed in, his voice tinged with annoyance. "We invited you on this tour because we thought you were professionals, but all you've done is act like a bunch of kids."

Calum bristled at the insult, his temper flaring. "We're not kids. We're musicians, just like you. And if you can't see that, then maybe you're the ones who need to grow up."

But just as it seemed like the rift between them was insurmountable, fate intervened in the form of a missing band member. With the show looming closer by the minute and no sign of Luke, panic set in.

Frantic, the One Direction boys set out to search for their missing counterparts, eventually finding them huddled in a secluded corner backstage. Luke was visibly distraught, his chest heaving as he struggled to control his breathing.

At first, the 5SOS boys bristled at the intrusion, but their hostility melted away as Zayn approached them with a gentle smile. "Hey, it's okay. We're here to help," he said softly, his calming presence easing the tension in the air.

Together, the two bands worked to soothe Luke's anxiety, offering words of comfort and support. As Luke's breathing steadied and his panic subsided, a sense of camaraderie blossomed between them, bridging the gap that had once divided them.

In that moment of vulnerability and understanding, the members of 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction realized that they were more alike than they had ever imagined. And as they took to the stage later that night, their voices harmonizing in perfect unity, they knew that together, they were unstoppable.

Behind the scenes, the 5SOS boys were wrestling with their own struggles. Unknown to their tourmates, Luke had forgotten to take his anxiety medication that morning, and the stress of the tour had triggered a severe panic attack.

As they huddled together backstage, trying to calm Luke down, the gravity of the situation dawned on the One Direction boys. They exchanged worried glances, realizing the extent of Luke's struggle.

Zayn stepped forward, his voice gentle but firm. "Let me help," he said, his years of dealing with anxiety giving him insight into what Luke needed. With his guidance, they worked together to soothe Luke's racing thoughts and racing heart, offering reassurance and support every step of the way.

Slowly but surely, Luke's breathing began to even out, and the panic that had gripped him began to loosen its hold. And as he leaned into Zayn's comforting embrace, he felt a wave of gratitude wash over him, knowing that he wasn't alone in his struggle.

In the aftermath of the anxiety attack, the barriers between the two bands began to crumble. Although there would still be  many arguments in there future. They were at least starting to understand echother.
