Summary: Calum never talks to anyone, but Michael can change that

Michaels POV
"Oh god I'm sorry" I said before holding my hand out to the boy that fell underneath me. I was at my local coffee shop and when I turned a corner I bumped into this boy "I wasn't watching where I was going and I was just getting some coffee and I wasn't even paying any attention to my surroundings and-" I pulled him up and noticed something.

He was cute.

"Jeez now I'm rambling" I laugh nervously and he just smiled. I smiled back.

"What's your name?" I ask and he looks at me and pulls out his phone and starts typing. I look at him confused and he shows his phone screen to me.

Calum

"That's beautiful" I smile and he blushes. "So uh, do you not talk or?"

I didn't want to sound rude but I just wanted to know. He looked down nervously. "No no no shit- I didn't mean to like offend you- do you uh, do you wanna sit with me maybe?" He nods and smiles.

I lead him to a seat, and I sit across from him. "So"
I look at him waiting to see if he speaks or not but unfortunately he does not.

I cough nervously and speak up. "How old are you?"

That's a horrible question, what the fuck I could've asked where he's from or something-

My thoughts got interrupted when he showed me his phone.

17

I smiled and nodded and he typed something else.

How about you?

"20" I smile and he returns it. "So I'm guessing you're still in school?" He nods and I realize that this is actually getting pretty awkward. I cough and take a sip of my coffee. He looks down and plays with his fingers. "So why are you here?" I ask and realize how mean that sounded. "Wait I don't mean it like that- like I mean what are you doing here like-fuck I'm sorry" I laugh nervously and he just smiles. He types more in his phone.

I come here to think and get my mind off of things

"Same for me" I look at the time, only to see that it's almost 11pm. I slowly get up and look at Calum. "I better get going"

Calum gets up too and follows me. "Did you walk?" He nods as we walk outside to see its raining. "I'll drive you home"

"You don't need to do all that"

"It's pouring out here Cal, come on, I'll never forgive myself if I let you walk in this"

"Cal?"

I realize the nickname and he smiles. "Sorry" he shrugs it off and smiles even more. I lead us to my car and we get in. Right as I start the car Foo Fighters was blasting through the speakers. I quickly turn it down and look at Calum. "Oh god I'm so sorry" I laugh nervously and he waves his hand as if he's telling me it's okay.

I don't know why but I get so nervous around him. I feel like I've known him forever but it's only been like 2 hours.

I notice that I've been driving and have yet asked Calum where he lives.
"So where you you live?" I ask to break the silence. We get to a stop sign and he points to go left.

We keep going at it like this and end up in a small apartment. "This it?" He nods and unbuckled his seatbelt. He typed in his phone once more.

Thanks so much Mikey

"Mikey?" He blushes and looks down only to play with his fingers again. "I like it" I say and his face meet mine.

We stay like that for a while and he finally coughs and opens the door. As he's walking I roll the window down. "Cal!" I yell.

He turns around and walks a little closer to the car. This is it.

"Can I um- can I have y-your number?" I stutter. He smiles and nod.

We exchanged numbers and I drove back home.

I laid in bed thinking of the brown eyed boy and pulled out my phone.

To Calum:
Hey :)

In a matter of minutes he replied.

From Calum:
Hey!

I smile and instantly text back.

To Calum:
We should hang out again soon xx

From Calum:
Tomorrow? :)

To Calum:
Of course xx

And that's how this began..
