Michael is 2 years old in this, Luke's his big brother, Ashton and Calum are Luke's best friends.
Liz and Andrew are parents.
Michael's family had all decided to go camping for the week, inviting Ashton and Calum along with them. "C'mon boys, dinner" Karen shouts and Michael squeals, dropping his toys that he brought along and running to his mummy who was stood near the fire, "careful Mikey, not too close baby" she tells him lifting him up onto her hip and feeding him some food. "Luke, me and your dad are going out tonight so you and the boys are looking after Michael, okay?" Karen asks a Luke nods with a mouthful of food and Michael let out a muffled squeal, he loved being with his brother and his best friends. "Lukey Lukey Lukey" Michael giggles once he sees Luke has finished eating, Karen hands the squirming baby in her arms over and finishes her food, grabbing her jacket and leaving with Andrew into the car. "What are we doing firsts then baby?" Luke asks Michael, "down down down" Michael chants and Luke puts him on his feet when he runs to his toys, "pway!" He shouts back to Luke and Luke, Ashton and Calum all walk over, sitting on the blanket with Michael and playing with the blocks. Almost 3 hours straight of playing with the toys and running around Ashton notices Michael getting tired, rubbing his eyes and ear as a sure sign he's sleepy, "someone tired?" Ashton giggles and Michael shakes his head no, "I think you are" Calum smiles and Michael shakes his head again, rubbing his ear and unknowingly laying his head in Luke's lap as he continues to play, getting slower and slower before his hand eventually drops off of the truck and he is asleep. "Knew it" Ashton laughs, lifting Michael up and putting him on Luke's bed in their tent. The boys sit around for a while before it starts raining, heavily, they clear Michaels toys away and sit inside the tent when thunder claps above them, making Luke look to the still sleeping Michael when the thunder strikes again along with lightening, "shit" Luke mumbles, keeping his eyes on Michael. "What?" Calum asks, "Michael is terrified of thunder and lightning. Completely prettified of it" Luke tells them and they nod, remembering the last thunderstorm. "As long as he stays asleep we sh-" Luke starts before the thunder cuts him off, paired with the whimper that leaves Michael's lips in his sleep. All the guys look at each other and prepare for Michael to wake up, just as expected at the next clap of thunder Michael wakes up with it, very tired and confused. "You okay Mikey?" Luke asks and Michael sleepily nods, putting his thumb in his mouth and laying his head back down when the thunder strikes again and he whimpers, realising what woke him up. "Lukey" Michael whimpers, making desperate grabby hands for his big brother, "I've got you you're fine" Luke tells him, lifting Michael onto his lap, "L-Lukey, I-I scawed" Michael cries out, tears forming in his eyes, "I know baby, you're safe don't worry" Luke tells him just before lightning lights up the tent before the thunder and suddenly the rain gets a lot heavier. Michael cries out and grabs fist fulls of Luke's shirt, whimpering into it. Luke looks to Ashton and Calum and they begin talking to Michael, "Mikey, buddy?" Calum tries and Michael makes a noise, pulling his head away from Luke's chest enough to see Calum, "you okay mate?" Calum asks and Michael just whimpers, the next clap of thunder is louder than any of the others making Michael scream in fear and break into sobs, "Mikey, Mikey, hey it's okay, you're safe" Ashton says gently into his ear, rubbing his hand up and down his back, "A-Ashy I-I scawed" Michael whimpers and sobs, "I know baby, you're safe though" Ashton tells him and he just cuddles back into Luke. The next clap of thunder is joined by heavier rain and lightning, "Luke! Luke! Wan' mummy, wan' mummy" Michael screams, tears soaking through Luke's shirt as he grips onto the fistfulls he's holding. "Mikey, Mikey c'mon, you're fine" Luke coos but Michael is having none of it, "no, no I wan' mummy and daddy. Lukey I scawed" Michael sobs and Luke feels helpless. "Michael c'mere" Ashton says holding his arms out and Michael throws himself into his arms, letting go of Luke's shirt and grabbing Ashton's instead. Luke runs to the other tent and grabs Michael's dummy and blanket, running back to Ashton and Calum where Michael is still loudly sobbing into Ashton while Calum rubs his back. Luke runs his hand through Michael's blonde hair making him jump and turn around, "mummy?" Michael whimpers and frowns when he sees its Luke, "sorry baby. Want your dummy?" Luke asks holding the dummy into view, "mhmm" Michael mumbles, reaching out for the dummy and Luke puts it in his mouth, handing him the blanket as well. Michael snuggles into Ashton's neck and and whimpers. Every clap of thunder Michael whimpers, getting quieter each time. Some there is a clap of thunder with lighting and Michael doesn't make a sound, Calum looks round to notice Michael has cried himself to sleep on Ashton, "guys he's gone" Calum tells them and Luke takes Michael from Ashton, laying him in his bed where they all sit around and wait for Liz to get back, all being asleep by the time she does in a big group huddle around Michael.
