You trudge down the stairs of your four best friends' house to the smell of breakfast. Knowing Ashton, it's probably whole grain bread and fruit. You're baggy sweats and lack of makeup don't phase you in front of these boys anymore. They are like you're brothers. Except Michael. You two have done things you don't bring up in conversation often. He's always been a little more than a friend, and you have always been more to him too. But that's not important.
"Look who's up!"
Calum greets you with a smile, hugging you into his bare torso.
"Put on some clothes for Christ's sake, Cal."
You mumble into his warm chest. He laughs and shakes his head, sassy as always.
"This is my house, missy. I'll go balls naked if I wanna."
Before you can respond, you hear a deep tone behind you.
"Please don't."
"Hey Lukey."
You hug him and call him by the affectionate nickname you and Mikey bestowed on him.
"You're up before Michael. Shocker."
The blonde boy says sarcastically as he holds your back and places a quick kiss on your head.
"Morning, y/n! Want some ham and pineapple?"
Ashton calls from the kitchen like the mother he is.
"Sure thing, thanks Ash."
You stroll on to the tile, standing behind Ashton as he cooks. His long hair is pulled out of his face with a pink hair tie and you grin at him with your arms crossed. He notices you and turns around, apron swinging from his neck.
"Wanna explain the man bun, Irwin?"
Ash looks at his reflection in the microwave and giggles, which causes you to do the same.
"Right, sorry. Well it's not like I carry around a bunch of pony tail holders with me. Leave me alone, I'm cooking you breakfast."
You chuckle and wrap your arms from behind around his midsection. He continues to move the ham around on the stove, but he holds your hands with one of his own, easily since he's got big ass hands.
"But I told you earlier that it was going to be on at noon!"
You sigh as you hear yells from the living room. Calum and Luke are staring each other down, the tv remote dangling from Calum's fingers.
"What is happening?"
"Y/n! Calum won't hand over the fucking remote and I wanted to watch Spongebob!"
"Stop swearing goddamnit!"
Ashton shouts in the background and Calum rolls his eyes in response.
"I want to watch the football match and I have the remote."
Calum sticks out his tongue and you snatch the remote from him.
"First of all, how would Liz feel if she heard you swearing? Because I do have her number in my phone."
Calum giggles but Luke ignores you, grabbing for the remote.
"The episode started at noon and it's 12:02-"
He protests, getting cut off by a gravelly voice.
"You're such a fucking child, Luke."
The three of you turn to meet Michael's amused smirk. He is perched at the top of the staircase with his sweatpants hanging low on his hips and his black hair a fluffy mess. His green eyes have dark circles under them and his pink lips smile down at you. He looks like a sex god. He joins you on the carpet, snaking an all too welcome pale arm around your waist and pressing a scruffy kiss to your temple.
"Morning y/n."
He whispers in your ear, his nose tickling your face.
"Morning Cal. Morning asswipe."
He continues to greet the others while still holding you. Your heart leaps a little from his friendly kiss, wishing it wasn't so friendly.
Luke pokes out his pierced bottom lip and you to wiggle from Mikey's grip. You pet Luke's head gently, not liking how rude the boys are to him sometimes.
"Ew, don't touch him y/n. Cooties."
Calum jokes, but Luke pulls you down on to his lap on the couch, hugging you impossibly close.
"If none of you love me, at least she does."
Luke says as he squishes his face into your shoulders. You laugh as Calum fake gags, but you can't help but catch Michael's lips twitching into a frown just before he turns towards the kitchen.
"Get a room."
You hear him growl bitterly. You pry Luke's hands off and stand up, dragging him with you after Michael.
"Breakfast is ready."
Ash says. The four of them haphazardly yank their chairs to the edge of the table, Michael 'accidentally' sitting exceptionally close to you, and begin grabbing food Ashton neatly arranged. Your breakfast consists of the usual:
"Calum, I'm not serving you your ham if you don't put pants on at the table."
"But my banana wants to join the fruit party."
"You're disgusting, Calum."
"Says you, you're eating that sausage like you know what I'm talking about."
"You're making Luke choke on his sausage!"
"That doesn't sound dirty at all, y/n. Cash money knows how you meant it."
"I will stab you."
"Michael, get your fingers out of the fruit bowl, use a fork."
"Oh I see how it is, Calum's allowed to put his junk out-"
"Guys I spent a whole morning cooking this at least eat it-"
"What the hell is my bra doing on your head, Luke?!? Where'd you even find that?!"
"It looks like those ear muffler things."
"Lucas, take it off-"
"Stop flirting Luke, it's getting ridiculous."
"He's not flirting, Mikey you're just jealous!"
"Am not! At least I've seen her nak-"
"Ahhh! My virgin ears!"
"SHUT UP, LUKE."
"I'm going back to bed."
And with that, you take your slice of ham and make your way back to the stairs. You shout an apology to Ash and thank him for the food. The bedroom door shuts behind you and you fall face first into your comforter.
