Calum:
Calum pulled the hoodie of his black sweatshirt over his hair, taking a last look in the mirror before he rushed to the front door and opened it the second his hand touched the handle. Even in the darkest nights of the burning Sydney lights from the views behind, it couldn't compare to the bright smile you served the second your eyes locked with his. "Are the other boys sleeping?" You whispered and looked behind him to see all lights being off, and in reply he lifted his finger in front of his lips and silenced you. You nodded your head understanding and grinned, your eyes showing clear overtiredness but you were buzzing on energy. Recently the last couple of days you and Calum had started this new trend. With him having to suffer with jetlag all the time and you suffering with insomnia it was difficult for the both of you to sleep at night. You remembered clearly the first night you called him, the clock striking three am and he was online on twitter. You didn't hesitate to ask him out for a comfy night walk and since that day the two of you would do it, occasionally when you were so tired of staring up at your dark black ceiling. "Are you wearing our old merch?" Calum asked almost confused as he took in your attire, the small hint of an old tally printed on your chest and you looked down at it almost like you had forgotten. "Yeah it's an old one I found." You giggled quietly and watched as he walked out and remembered to lock the door. "It's from one of your old Koko shows in London. I was cleaning out my closet today out of boredom and found it deep inside." You placed your hands in your pockets and backed towards the stairs, grinning when Calum widened his eyes by the memory. "I barely remember that. So many years ago." He mumbled the last part and placed his keys in his own hoodie before following you down the porch and into the darkness. There wasn't any direction to where you guys were going. It was all about enjoying each other's company while talking nonsense. You guys could talk about everything and anything without a limit. You never knew where you guys would end because of the intense talkings. They could be serious, but also something so fucked up the two of you would crack up laughing by your ridiculousness. You hadn't even noticed when you guys came to the beach, the waves crashing ashore by the strong wind by the ocean. At least the wind wasn't cold but you still wore your hoodies over your heads to prevent your ears from getting cold from the nightly weather. The moon was reflecting in the water and the second you took off your shoes a sigh of bliss escaped your lips. "We don't visit the beach enough." You commented when you came down to the water and took in the horizon and silence. It was lovely. "Yeah I totally agree. It's hard finding time with my schedule though." Calum mumbled from beside you and checked his phone to see the time striking past 3am. "At least you always somehow find time for me in the early mornings of weekly days." You looked up at him with a smirk and he cracked a smile by your words and nodded his head agreeing. "A bit depressing though, right?" He grinned and wrapped an arm around your shoulder. "I can only find time to hang out with my best friend when I don't have anything important to do with lack of sleep." "I like it." You replied back and stopped to look out at the ocean, enjoying the sounds of the waves. He carefully removed his arm from your shoulder to look as well but as he did, he accidently glided it down to your hand, and a small boots ran through his veins and his stomach filled with butterflies. He quickly removed his hand and looked at you with wide eyes, but you didn't seem to mind, you barely looked like someone who noticed. He hurried to place his hand in his pocket and he felt an odd feeling going through his veins. He hadn't been feeling like this before but the touch of your hand was enough for him to sudden realize the satiation he was in. You looked up at him with a smile after some silence and he weakly smiled back before biting his lip and took your whole form in. No, that couldn't be it. He had always feared this thing would happen but that wasn't just a simple touch to him. Did he finally realize that he did have feelings for you and now had to deal with this whole other perspective every time he was looking at you.
Michael:
It was a girly scream that made Michael's eyes open wide, the blackness of the room overwhelming him and he sat up confused. A blanket was draped over his body and he took a second to realize what was going on, where he was and how the hell the day had turned from daytime to night. His mouth formed the letter 'o' when he realized the fact that he had been taking a nap earlier, feeling ill and wanted to block it out by sleeping. You must have been the one to wrap him in a blanket while sleeping and on purpose decided not to wake up him up to make sure he would get enough sleep to feel better. And it worked, Michael was feeling amazingly fine now, just a bit off from the nap, his voice a bit raspy and he took a look at the time on his phone. It was past midnight now, and he expected everyone to be asleep now but his mind changed when the he heard the cause of his sudden awaken. Another high pitched came from behind the door, and he removed himself from the bed and walked out of the hallway confused. The faint sound of a bass drum was clear from the living room along with giggles and whines, and he furrowed his eyebrows confused and headed towards the noises. When he walked into the living room he was met by the large TV being replaced with a huge wide screen and a projector, meanwhile you sat with the boys at the couches. It took Michael a second to recognize the game on the screen, and his eyes widened as he saw you sit with the mouse, almost crying out in your pillow and not even looking at the screen while Luke was controlling the keyboard. "No, no, no no no, why the hell are you guys forcing her to play this?!" Michael screeched and hurried towards the couch to take a seat, moving you away from the mouse and pressed you into his chest. "Last time I played this with her she was having nightmares for a whole week!" The boys laughed in reaction to Michael's sudden exclaim arrival, and Calum grabbed the mouse from the coffee table to control the vision on the screen. "She said she wanted too!" Ashton laughed from the couch and clapped his hands together in amusement. "No I didn't you guys said we were gonna play a fun game!" You mumbled from Michael's chest, occasionally looking at the screen but regretting by the fear of getting jump scared. You had no idea how they had convinced you, you had been totally naïve until slender was plastered on the screen and there was no backing down. So far you had been playing for five minutes and the at least ten jump scares had made you jump up from the chair, the boys laughing their asses off in amusement. They knew you hated this but took it for granted. "How many pages do you have?" Michael asked interested and furrowed his eyebrows while looking at the screen. "Only two, we could have collected much more if Y/N wasn't such a chicken and didn't want to go through the tunnel." Luke responded and bit his lip while concentrating on the screen. You scoffed into Michael's chest by Luke's words, even though he was totally right about his sayings. Hell no you didn't dare to go into that tunnel, you didn't want to go anywhere in that game. You moved your face away to look at the screen but regretted it the second Calum moved the mouse around, slender man literally standing meters away from the narrator. A jolt ran through your body by the dramatic jump scare and music, and you wrapped your arms tighter around Michael and buried your face into his chest. "How can you not be scared of this?" You murmured and looked up at him shortly, watching as he remained his focus on the TV screen, his jaw hanging. "I Am Y/N. So scared." He whispered back and leaned his face against yours. But not scared of the slender game in front of the two of you. He was scared, scared of the fact that having you this close to him made him feel so amazingly happy. Scared that you were so attached to him, but not in the way he saw you. It was like a small moment of reality hit him, by the fact that he wanted this to be more. He wanted to be your boyfriend, holding you close when you were scared and promise to do everything in his power to always keep you safe. But it wasn't until this exact moment that all these scenarios flashed before his eyes while he held onto you for dear life, waiting for the game to be over.
