Michael's birthday

----

Sunlight was streaming through the curtains in Michael and Calum bedroom
The bright haired boy was curled up into the kiwi's chest snoring softly
Little puffs of air escaped his mouth, blowing warm air onto Calum's chest

Calum chuckled, the air tickled his skin "Michael.... Miiiiichaelllll" he cooed in a sing songy voice "kiiittten"

"Fuck off" Michael responded, muttering some incoherent noises and going back to sleep

Calum laughed "Michael it's your birthday! You've got to get up!"
Michael only responded by pulling Calum closer to him

Calum leaned down, his lips hovering above Michael's ear "I boughhhttttt pizzaaaa"
This made Michael sit up fast "m'up, I'm up!"

Calum put a hand over his heart, looking mildly offended "you wouldn't wake up for me, but for pizza it's different?!"

"Sorry baby, that's how I roll" Michael winked and attempted to roll off the bed, landing with a thud on the floor
"Oh. My. God"
Calum was in stitches "you're so stupid, why do I like you?"

"You don't likeeeee meee, you loveeee meeee" Michael stood up brushing his legs

"C'mere babe" Calum opened his arms, wrapping Michael up in his arms and kissing his forehead
They stood like this for what felt like hours to Michael, but he wouldn't change it for the world

Calum's lips brushed the side of Michael's temple "You're right, I love you kitten. Let's go eat some pizza yea?"

Michael giggled "hell yea!"
He took Calum's arm dragging him into the kitchen

After digging into the pizza
Calum said "so I've got the whole day planned out- it's all about you kitten"

--

Michael stopped short in the doorway of their first destination and gasped
"OH MY GOODNESS!!" He turned towards Calum "Thank you....." He breathed

They were at a little hole in the wall guitar shop Calum had found online
There were floor to ceiling, guitars hanging on the wall, even guitars hanging off the ceiling

Calum chuckled, looking at Michael who was looking around him in awe
He walked down the aisles, looking at the different choices, finally deciding on a plain black acoustic guitar

He sat down on the floor with the guitar in his lap, motioning for Calum to come sit with him

".... your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me..."

Calum blushed ducking his head

"....bear this in mind, this is how it's meant to be... I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks..."
He reached over and put a finger on Calum's cheek, tracing a circle into and booping his nose
This made Calum giggle

"I love you Michael" he leaned placing a soft kiss on the bright haired boys lips, placing his hands behind his neck

Michael smiled into the kiss, but pulled away abruptly "I would love to continue this, but there are other people here and they're staring"

Calum looked around noticing the cashier giving them a side eyed glance and a girl had her phone out taking a photo of them
That would be all over Twitter later

"Come on kitten let's go then. Places to go, people to see!"

"O-ok lets go then" Michael said, hurriedly placing the guitar back on the wall

Once outside Calum grabbed his hand excitedly "Come on! Come on!"
Calum tugged him down the sidewalk towards a black car

Before they could reach the car they were stopped by a group of girls "OH MY GOOODDDD!!!! Ahh! I love you guys!!"
"Omg I ship Malum so hard"
"Can I have a picture?"

Michael chuckled "yea of course" he bent down placing a kiss on one of the girls cheek as she took the photo
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"I love you guys!"
"Byeee!!!"

"Ok" Calum smiled tightly "Well we've got to go now ladies"
He waved and opened the car door for Michael and getting in the drivers seat, sitting down in a huff

"You ok Cal Pal?" A look of worry passed over Michael's face
"Did I do something?"

Calum sighed "n-no, no I- I just...." He sighed putting his head in his hands

Michael smirked "WAIT?! Is Calum jealous?"

"N-"

"I think Cally Poo is jealllooouss"

"Shut up" Calum playfully swatted his arm ".....ok maybe a little"

"Calum! Seriously? Those girls were like 14" he said, his face getting serious "And I love you, chill"

Calum blushed furiously "I know, I know- it's just that-"

"It's just what? What is it just Calum?! Don't let that ruin the day- I'm ready for my next suprise!!"

Calum pulled the car out of the space, mumbling a quiet "...sorry"

--
Calum pulled the car up in front of their apartment
Michael looked confused "I-I thought we were going more places?"
"Sorry babe" Calum looked at his palms "I'm kind of tired"

Michael looked upset "oh, oh- ok, that's ok Cal" he said patting his arm and putting his hand to Calum's forehead "if you're not feeling well"

--
The pair walked up the steps of the apartment. Calum opened the door, walking into the dark room and flicking on the lights

"SUPRRRIIIISSSEEEE!!!"

Michael jumped, looking at Calum "I-I- I thought you-"

Calum laughed "you really think I'd skip the rest of your birthday?!"

"I love you so much"

Luke and Ashton and all their friends were there
"Happy birthday Mike!"
"Happy birthday"
A chorus of happy birthdays was heard from the living room

"C'mon let's have some cake"
Calum pulled his arm in the direction of their friends

--
After everyone had left and it was just Calum, Michael, Luke, and Ashton on the couch, they were all a little buzzed, Calum announced that he was tired

"Come on Ash- let's go, they've got stuff to do" Luke said with a wink, standing up

Ashton turned around as they were walking out the door yelling "GET IT BOOOYYYSSS" and walked out with Luke

Calum laughed, pulling Michael onto his lap
"Did you have a good birthday kitten?"

"Wonderful" Michael repositioned himself, putting his head in Calum's lap

"....they say she's in the class A team stuck in her daydream..." Calum sang running his fingers through Michael's hair, massaging his scalp lightly
"....been this way since 18 but lately her face seems slowly sinking, waisting, crumbling like pastries...."

Soft little snores puffed out Michael's mouth
"Night kitten- see you in the morning" Calum leaned his head down, kissing Michael's forehead
