You heard your phone ding right next to your head, waking you up as it vibrated the pillow. You groaned and grabbed it, before pressing the home button. The screen lit up and you squinted, your eyes not used to the harsh light.
You unlocked your phone and opened the text, which was from Michael.
'Babe, I feel horrible' You woke up a bit more at those words, instantly feeling protective.
'Why? What happened?'
'I'm really upset. I feel like I'm going to cry' You frowned before tapping out a reply.
'What about, Mikey?' you tried to think of a reason why Michael could be upset, but none immediately came to mind.
'You're going to think it's stupid...'
'Mikey, I love you and I want to help you when you feel upset. I can help you feel better if you explain what's wrong'
You scrolled through tumblr whilst waiting for a reply, but when you checked the time, you saw that 10 minutes had passed without a reply.
Worried, you opened your texts.
'Michael, babe? Are you okay?' You sent the text then went back to tumblr, only to go back to your messages five minutes later and type out anther message.
'Mikey? You there? You're scaring me' Your mind went back to last time Michael was upset on tour, which ended with you having to fly over to see him.
Is he okay?
Is it something to do with his mental health?
Has a family member died?
Did he fall out with one of the boys?
These thoughts circulated your mind for around ten minutes and just as you were starting to properly panic, you got a text. You quickly unlocked your phone and went onto the text to see Michael's reply:
'I'm upset because I haven't had Panda Express in three days'
You glared at your screen, hoping Michael could feel the glare through the phone. He got you really worked up and worried about something that wasn't even worth being awake for.
'Mikey, that's not fair! You scared me!'
'How?'
'I thought something was wrong! I thought you were genuinely upset and I was going to have to march over there and cuddle you'
'You can still do that... just bring Panda Express with you' you rolled your eyes at your boyfriend's response.
'I woke up to deal with your sadness, and now it's-' you glanced at the time at the top of your phone screen '2:46 am and I'm awake for no reason when I'm meant to be up early in the morning'
'You're awake to talk to your amazing boyfriend, obviously'
'You're mean -_-'
'Me? You're the one that's not taking my sadness seriously'
'Michael, if you're THAT upset about not eating Panda Express in three days, then get one of the crew to go get you some or... idk... get off your fat ass and get it yourself!'
'Now you're being mean. My ass is not fat >-<'
'It will be if you keep eating Panda Express.' you yawned and waited for your boyfriend's reply, however fell asleep before he could.
Which lead to you waking up in the morning to these messages:
'Fine, I'll go get it myself! But don't expect me to go buy you ice cream ever again'
'I'm going now'
'Panda Express. mmmmm yummy'
'I'm happy now'
'*Picture of Michael with a Panda Express employee*'
'This is my new boyfriend, Derek. He understands my Panda Express needs more than you do'
'*Picture of Michael eating Panda Express*'
'Joy at last.'
'Panda Express - The only good thing that happened to me since I started dating a non-believer.'
You knew he was asleep but tapped out a reply anyway, which were the only two words that were swimming around your head when you read those texts.
'You dork'
