Michael scratches at his dog onesie watching their music teacher get all the other kids in to stop moving form their spots on stage.
"Hi Michael" Becca says, Michael turns to look at her in her pig costume. "Hi" he says before looking away.
"I like your costume" Michael sighs, she broke up with him and now she wants to talk to him. "Thanks"
"You like my costume?" Michael nods, "Sure" he says, women are so confusing. "You didn't even look at it!"
Michael looks at her, "I looking now" "Thank you" she says crossing her arms. Michael rolls his eyes moving somewhere else, mocking her under his breath.
"Alright kiddies, everyone remember their parts?" Their music teacher Mr. Green asks.
"Yes" a couple of kids yells. "Okay, now Eric and Michael get next to each other" Michael frowns walking over to the dirty blonde who sticks his tongue out at him
"You're a dog, you have to get on floor" "Leave me alone butt face" Michael says with a scowl. "Mr. Gween! Michael not being dog!"
"Michael, you have to get on your knees bud"
Michael sighs getting on all fours glaring at floor, he ignores Eric who was laughing at him
"Alright everyone, practice part one! Action!"

"I hate dis play" Zayn frowns at the five year old, "Why?" "Eric keep stepping on my hand when we pwactice""Did you tell the teacher?" "Thwee times! But he no listen" Michael says crossing his arms as he waits outside with Zayn for his dad.
"Well the play is Friday bub, it's only in two days. You think you can handle it?" Michael shrugs, "Maybe" "Well how about we make a deal?"
Michael looks up at him, "Okay" "You promise to do everything you're supposed to do on that stage and I promise that I will make you a cake"
"A whole cake?" "Yup" "Just fer me?" "Just for you" "Wif powa wangers?" "Especially with power rangers"
Michael grins clapping, "Okay! I pwomise" he says bouncing up and down. Suddenly Liam pulls up beeping, Zayn opens the door for Michael who climbs in.
"How was school?" Liam asks, smiling at Michael. "It okay, I have to pwactice my lines" "Oh yeah, can you tell me some?"
"Woof woof" Michael says slowly with a look, making Zayn giggle a little. "That's it?" "Yup" Michael says putting on his seatbelt.
"Well you don't have to practice at all" Zayn hits Liam's arm, "Yes he does, he might not remember them when he's on stage"
Liam looks back at Michael, "Yeah, you practice bub" Michael crosses his arms, "When I be model now?"
"They sent an email for head shots" Liam says pulling out the parking lot. "I can do that, I have a bunch of cameras" Zayn says grinning
"Well alright, I'll just be there for support" Liam says chuckling. As soon as they get home, Zayn goes into his shared room with Liam to find his Nikon camera
"Mike you wanna go outside and take them?" Michael nods, "Kk" he says opening the front door. "Liam we'll be right back, don't miss us too much"
"I'll try not to" Liam says snorting, he sits back on the couch closing his eyes. He was going to take a quick nap until his house phone began to ring
He groans picking it up blindly, "Yes?" "Hello sweetheart, how're you?" Liam sits up, "Hi mum, I'm fine. You?"
"I'm good, how was your day today" "It was nice, I pulled a muscle in my arm earlier at work" Liam says wincing at the memory.
"Are you okay?" "Yeah, Niall took me to the hospital" Liam really did miss these conversations he used to have with his mom when he was younger
It used to anything and everything. "How're the boys?" "Their great, Michael is gonna be posing for some clothes on Saturday"
"Aw like a little model? That's so precious!" "I know, I'll be sure to send pictures whenever it's over" "I would love that dear, I was wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner? It's been a while since you've been here"
"Alright, when?" "Friday perhaps?" Liam cringes, "Mum, Michael's school play is Friday night" "Oh really?" "Yeah, maybe Sunday?" "Okay dear, that's fine"
Liam felt a little awkward, should he invite her? I mean Zayn's parents were coming too. "Do you want to come to the play with us?"
"Oh dear that would be wonderful!" Liam rolls his eyes fondly, she wanted him to ask. "We're all meeting at our house, Zayn is staying with Michael while he's in school"
"Thank you for inviting us, I can't wait" "You're welcome, it was nice chatting with you" "You too dear, I love you"
Liam smiles a little, "I love you too" he hasn't told them that since he was eighteen. It actually felt good doing so, "I'll talk to you later honey"
"Alright, bye" he says, hanging up the phone. Liam lays back on the couch taking a breath, he suddenly didn't feel like taking a nap anymore
"Daddy, papa take good pictures! I look handsome" Michael says rushing back in the house. "Oh yeah?"
Michael grins climbing on the couch sitting next to him. Zayn comes in locking the door, "we have a future model here, I see it runs in the family"
Liam frowns, "It does?" Zayn sits next to him, "You could be a model of you wanted to Li" Liam's cheeks turn red, "No I wouldn't, I'd be awkward"
Zayn wrinkles his maid to giggle before showing him the pictures. Liam smiles, "These are really good, who knew you'd be the model type" Liam says ruffling Michael's hair
Michael grins cheekily, "Tanks, it's a gift" he says making Liam snort. "A gift from me" "No no, mine"
"I gave you that handsome face y'know" Michael waves him off, "God took him time on meh" he says, motioning to his face
Zayn pinches his cheeks, "He sure did" he says cooing, Michael frowns. "Papa I no baby"
"Your my baby" "I no baby, I'm a gwown man" Michael says sliding off the couch, buffing his little chest.
"Your our little man" Liam says digging his finger in Michael's side, making him squeal.
