1 - How You Meet

Ashton

You were doing homework, but to be honest, you weren't getting anything done. The boy next door Ashton and his friends could not stop playing music in their garage, and although they actually weren't too bad, they were still LOUD.
Sighing, you put your textbook away and made your way to the door so you could ask him to maybe turn down the volume.
As you went to their front yard, you noticed that the garage front was open. You peeked inside, and saw your neighbor, Ashton, on the drums. A thin film of sweat covered him, and you could see the cords in his arms tensing as he played with a passion, his hair covering his eyes as he banged on the snare and the bass pounding through your ears. (*mutters* lanes, remember your lane *continues muttering*)
You stepped into the view of one of the boys, one with red hair that stuck in different directions, and cleared your throat. He still couldn't hear you, but saw you, rather.
He looked up its wide eyes as if to say,
Oh shit, that's a girl.
He stopped playing, causing the others to come to an abrupt stop and look up in confusion.
Little Red Riding Hood nodded his head in your direction, and an awkward silence ensued.
They looked at Ashton expectantly.
Dude, she's your neighbor. Deal with her.
He smiled at you, the type of smile that made you forget why you were here in the first place. Almost.
"Hey, y/n, what's up?"
You smiled at each one of the guys, finally resting on Ashton.
"I was doing homework and was wondering if you could turn down a little bit? I don't think you realize it, but the whole neighborhood is probably pulling out their hair right now."
You ended with sheepish smile, as their eyes widened in realization.
"Yeah, yeah, sure of course," he nodded enthusiastically.
"Thanks," you smiled. "And I know I said I had homework, but you guys were quite good, mind if I stay for another song?"

Luke

You stood behind the counter of Starbucks, taking orders of the long, winding line of customers.
(A/N: yes I did Starbucks for Luke bc Luke is a basic white girl. dill [insert pickle pic here] with it lol)
You tucked a loose strand of hair that fell out of your ponytail behind your ear and grabbed a cup in one hand and a sharpie in another.
"Hi, (or hey) how may I help you?" You asked the last person in line, not bothering to look up.
"Hi, can I get [your favorite drink] please?"
You smiled unconsciously and nodded.
That accent though.
"And your name?" You asked.
"Luke," he answered.
As you wrote down his name you muttered the letters under your breath and looked up.
You almost stopped breathing because the boy in front of you was the most handsome, hot (kinda), whatever you want to call him, person you had ever seen, and you blushed.
"Is that all?" You asked and couldn't help but check out his blonde hair and blue eyes, and scruffy chin. (I'm heart eyes Howell rn guys ugh I can't I'm swerving lanes.)
"Um, actually, there's one more thing."
He said, blushing slightly.
You smiled at him, urging him to continue.
"Can I have your number?"

Calum

You were an artist, and you loved your job at the tattoo parlor; seeing all the different tattoos people would get, and where they would get them.
Business was slow today, and were sitting bored until the door jingled and a boy about your age walked in.
You stood up to greet him.
"Hello, is there anything specific you want?" You asked him.
He nodded his head and pointed to his arm, and described the tattoo he wanted.
You nodded along and sat him down in a chair, you next to him.
You tried to start a conversation to take his mind off of the buzzing of needle.
"Is this your first tattoo...?" You still hadn't found out his name.
He shook his head. "I have a few more on my arms and collarbone."
He also added, "Calum. My name's Calum.
You nodded. "Y/N."
"I have a tattoo on the inside of my arm," you added.
"Really?" He asked. "Does it say something?"
You nodded. "Yeah, it's lyrics from an All Time Low song, Missing You."
His eyes widened. "No way, I love All Time Low!"
You nodded enthusiastically, happy that someone finally had the same music taste as you.
"What about Greenday?" You asked.
"Of course," he said. "They're one of my all time favorites."
You smiled approvingly, almost done with the tattoo.
He smiled. "I'm actually in a band."
You looked at him with your smiling face. "That is so cool, what do you play?"
"I'm the bassist."
You giggled. "You just get cooler every time you open your mouth."
He chuckled. "I'm glad."
You moved your chair back and put the needle down.
"All done." You announced.
He looked at his arm, and smiled.
"I should come get more tattoos, you know, if you're the artist." He winked, you laughed and blushed.
"You should."

Michael

You walked through the the isles of your local drug store, trying to find your favorite hair dye.
You finally spotted it, saw there was only one box left, and walked over to it.
Suddenly there was a boy next to you reaching for the same box and his long arm grabbed it first.
You eyed the box enviously and he must have noticed because he looked at you with his eyebrows raised.
"Did you want this?"
You nodded, but smiled reassuringly.
"You can have it, it's no problem."
He shook his head.
"I insist you have it, I'll probably go bald anyways if I dye it one more color," he joked as he ran his hand through his hair.
He giggled and looked up at his towering frame shyly.
"We can share it."
He looked at you confused. "Pardon?"
"We both want the same color, so we can dye it together. I only want to do the ends of my hair and you practically have no hair, (not being offensive) so I think it should be enough for the both of us, don't you think?"
He smiled. "Yeah. Yeah I think so."
"I'm Y/N, by the way."
"I'm Michael."
A few hours later, a picture of you both and your newly dyed hair was posted on Twitter, with caption #Twinning.
