Prom

Ashton: you giggle as Ashton offers you his hand to pull yourself out of the limo.

"M'lady," he says with a smirk, and you can't help but blush.

The theme for this years prom is "a night under the stars."

At first you had thought it was a bit cliché, but seeing the hall all done up with navy silk and sparkling fairy lights changes your mind.

"This place looks great," you comment, and Ashton nods in agreement.

"I'll get us some drinks," he tells you, leaving you to find somewhere to sit.

It's not long before a slow song comes on, and Ashton is immediately on his feet and pulling you up.

His body is warm against yours, and you're lost in a world you had only ever dreamed about. One of his hands is pressed to the small of your back, and the other gently holds yours. In his arms, you've never felt more secure.

In your mind, it's only you and Ashton on the dancefloor. Every fibre of your body is alight with a burning passion for him; it's impossible to even think of anyone else.

He effortlessly leads you around the dancefloor, his strong arms keeping you close all the while. Your heart is beating quickly, but it's not from the dancing.

It's hours later when you finally return to your seats, breathless and flushed but happy. Ashton smirks at you, and you melt. You never want the night to end.

Calum: nothing beat your conversations with Calum. You had been talking all night - and it had been perfect.

The boy knew exactly what to say and exactly how to make you laugh. He was amazing.

"Last song of the night guys! Grab a partner, coz we're slowing it down." The DJ says into his microphone.

You hadn't even noticed that it was almost midnight. You had been so lost in Calum and your conversation that the night had passed you by - but you wouldn't have had it any other way. As long as you were with Calum, it felt like nothing else mattered.

Calum stands up, his eyes focused solely on you.

"[Y/N]... Can I... Can I have this dance?" He asks anxiously, his ears turning pink.

You smile and feel your heart rate increase slightly. He's the most adorable person you've ever met.

"Of course you can," you reply, offering him your hand.

Calum nervously pulls you into him, resting one hand on your waist and taking your hand in his other.

Your heart speeds up further.

He slowly guides you around the floor, not missing a single step. The look of concentration on his face is evident, but he's still smiling at you like you're the only person in the world that matters.

The song ends, and you pause. For a second you both just stand there, lost in each other's eyes, until he speaks up.

"[Y/N], can I- can I kiss you?" He whispers, his voice barely audible.

Your heart is pounding through your chest.

You nod, unable to form words.
