Lashton/Malum One Shots

Fire - Malum

"Cal?" Mikey calls out.

"Hmm?" Calum replies from where he's scrolling through his phone on his bed.

"I'm just going out for like 5 minutes." Mikey says.

"Okay." Calum tells his best friend.

"Don't burn the place down or anything..." Mikey laughs jokingly and gives Calum a grin before he leaves.

Calum gets up to go to the bathroom and when he's done, he can smell the strong odour of smoke.

He throws the door open and rushes forwards, halting abruptly as flames are engulfing half of their room.

Calum turns back to go in the bathroom again, but they have a faulty lock and he's locked outside it and can't get in.

"MIKEY!" He yells as loudly as he can, before coughing and spluttering as smoke enters his lungs. He starts to feel weak and drops to the floor in the corner, breathing heavily and feeling kinda out of it.

He doesn't know how long it is before he hears Mikey's voice.

"CALUM?!" He's shouting into the room and then Mikey spots him. He's curled up in the corner, coughing and spluttering occasionally and Mikey can't get over to him quick enough.

Mikey scoops up the younger boy into his arms and carries him into their living room and to a sofa. He goes to get some water but Calum reaches for him.

"D-don't leave me." He croaks and Mikey's heart breaks for him.

"Okay." He mumbles, settling down with his best friend and holding him to him tightly.

"What happened?" Calum asks weakly.

"I don't know. They're coming though." Mikey replies. "I'm so sorry Cal..." He then mumbles, pressing a kiss to Calum's temple.

"S'okay. You found me. That's all that matters." Calum says and nuzzles his nose against Mikey's cheek, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth.

Mikey smiles softly at the boy next to him and runs his hand through his hair gently.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Mikey and Calum had gone to their bandmates' house, Luke and Ashton. Since Luke and Ashton were in a relationship, and had been for three years now, they gave the guest room to Calum and Mikey and left them to it, with the inkling that the two boys might become something more than just best friends.

Mikey's dozing in his bed when he feels Calum get in, slipping his arms around Mikey after having pulled the duvet over him.

"What're you doing?" Mikey mumbles.

"I'm cold." Is all Calum says.

Mikey looks down at his best friend and smiles softly, his heart rate picking up.

Mikey can't really get to sleep, so when Calum's breathing evens out, he takes the time to really look and appreciate him.

He firstly wraps his arms around the younger boy, and runs his fingers through his hair before brushing his thumb over his cheekbone softly, his fingers drifting to Calum's lips, gently brushing his thumb over his bottom lip.

Calum's lips part slightly and Mikey really wants to kiss him but knows he shouldn't, he can't.

"Do it." Calum whispers.

"What?" Mikey asks quietly.

"Kiss me."

Mikey brushes his thumb along Calum's jawline and let's out a soft chuckle.

"I can't. You know that." He says softly.

"No I don't." Calum argues and opens his eyes to look at Mikey properly.

"Cal..." Mikey sighs.

"Please." Calum pleads softly, bringing one arm up to Mikey's neck, playing with the hair resting at the nape.

Mikey holds on a little tighter around Calum's waist, pulling him tightly against him. He rests his forehead against Calum's and takes a long, deep breath which probably isn't the best idea because he can feel Calum's breath on his lips and he wants nothing more than to kiss him.

"You know I can't." Mikey finally whispers.

"I know you want to." Calum says softly, moving his hand round to his neck. "And I want you to. I've been waiting so damn long, and I don't want to wait any longer."

Mikey lets out a frustrated groan and hides his face in Calum's neck, , nuzzling the skin with his nose and moving his hand to Calum's shoulder, tracing small patters by his collar bones.

"I can't." He says again, his lips brushing Calum's neck before pressing his lips to his hot skin in a long kiss, making Calum tighten his arms around Mikey.

Mikey presses another kiss to Calum's neck, further up, almost at his jawline before connecting to his lips to the underside of Calum's jaw.

"Mikey let's stop fooling around." Calum finally says. "We always do this, but not once have we kissed properly. Sure there have been drunk kisses but I just want to kiss you and have you as mine." He takes in a sharp breath as Mikey spreads kisses over his neck and marks Calum with a lovebite.

"It's not easy." Mikey breathes, resting his forehead against Calum's again.

"Yes it is. You kiss me, I kiss you, we kiss each other without others knowing. Simple."

Mikey smirks fondly at the boy under him. "Look how hard it is for Luke and Ashton having to hide themselves from the world and the fans." Mikey says.

Calum looks into Mikey's eyes. "But I wouldn't care. You're worth it, we would be worth it."

Mikey closes his eyes and swallows.  "Stop making it harder." He says in a hushed whisper.

"I'm not making it harder." Calum says, running his fingertips over Mikey's lips, eyelids, temples, jaw and all over his face.

Mikey lets out a sigh.

"I love you, Mikey. Please."

Mikey's eyes shoot open and he licks his lips quickly, gripping Calum's waist tightly and crashing their lips together. Their lips move hungrily and almost desperately against each others' and their bodies press even harder against other, Mikey's arms tightly on and around Calum's waist and Calum's arms wrapped around his neck. Calum nibbles at Mikey's lower lip and Mikey grins into the kiss, deepening it as much as they can.

Mikey's the one that pulls away, leaving their lips only just touching and their foreheads pressed together. Calum allows a soft smile to overcome his features and presses soft kisses to Mikey's lips, Mikey responding to the odd one.

Mikey laughs and presses his lips against Calum's again. 

"I love you so fucking much." Mikey mumbles against Calum's lips and the night is spent sharing hungry and soft kisses, hushed words and a hell of a lot of love.
