Cooties {a 5SOS fanfic}

My phone buzzed in front of me. "I can stay for dinner, I have to be home by 9" though I say clapping excitedly. Yes I'm so glad I'm staying. "We could play kiss chases" Calum suggests smirking at me. "Not fair I'm not fast" I whine. "Hide and seek?" I smile. "Wow, what are you. Like 5?" Luke questioned pretending to be disgusted. "Yes" I say trying to sound even more disgusted. "Ok I'm counting then" he smiles turning around to face the wall. "I'm only counting to 50 so I'd get going" he giggles. We all scramble up and run out the door. "Ash come hide with me" I say grabbing his hand pulling him the same way as me.

I felt him tense up when I held his hand. "You ok?" I giggle. "Yeah, fine" he says more high pitched than his normal voice. "Where do we hide?!" I panic. Yes, I was very competitive in this game. "We hide under the bed, then we move to where he's already looked, he's not smart enough to look there again" I say pulling him into a room, I think it was his mums. We slide under the bed just in time. "Here I come ready or not" wow this is way more thrilling when you're 15.

He strode into the room and checked everywhere but under the bed. As soon as he left we followed, silently. He checked in the lounge room behind the couch in the corner. Calum was there. When they left to go check the other side of the room we snuck in there. My heart was racing. There was a problem, only one person could sit down. Ashton slid down and I followed after, you guessed it. I sat on his lap. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it though.

"This is really weird" I giggle leaning back on him. "I really couldn't care less, you're like my friend now" he whispers, playing with my hair. "I had the best hiding place! How did you fucking find me!!" We hear Michael yell. "Ash, Claire come out, you win" they yell. "Don't do it, they have to find us, that's the game" I whisper. "Ok" he nods his head.

Wow ok, during that five minutes, I started liking Ashton a little. My eye was on Luke and Calum though. The three boys came up to the couch and yelled "boo" making me jump and Ashton laugh. "Calum, can you help me up please?" I say reaching for him. "You can call me Cal you know" he smiles pulling me off Ashton.

"So, what now?" Luke questions after 3 more rounds of hide and seek won by me. "Pfft, I'm out of ideas" I say as his eyes scroll over to me. "We could just, talk" Calum says. "Ask a ton of questions". "Ok, we all have to answer though" I but in. Luke goes first. "Do you have a crush on anyone?" He says waiting for my answer. "Yes" I smirk at him. His eyes move to ash. "Yeah". Then Michael "uhu". Calum "fuck yes!" He says quickly glancing at me sending a smile.

It was my go. "What are you scared of? it doesn't have to be your biggest fear though" I say raising my eyebrow. Luke goes first. "Not having any friends". "Luke, you guys are my very first friends I've ever had!" I say wearily. "Mine is spiders, clowns, the ocean or never having someone fall in love with me" I say, eyes widening in fear. Calum went next. "Spiders!" Ashton's was snakes and Michaels was being allergic to pizza.

We had a few more rounds of that before Luke's mum came home. The door opened and she scanned the room looking at everyone's face. "Who's your girlfriend?" She jokes smiling. I instantly blush like crazy. "Mummm!!! 1: she's not my girlfriend and 2: her name is Claire" he says embarrassed. "Ok whatever you say Luke" she says before walking out shutting the door behind her.

He sighs awkwardly. "Sorry about that" he exclaimed rubbing the back of his neck, looking embarrassed. "Are you kidding, you're mum is the best!" I giggle. I glance at Calum when the boys where all talking about band practice. He was sussing me out. "You right?" I grin. "Yeah just a little-" "hungry is all" he says looking at my lower region for a split second. I bite my lip wondering the thoughts running through his mental head. I was totally ok with him doing that though.
