Working For 5SOS

Chapter 4: Radio Show

Calum reluctantly listened to my orders and got down on his knees and started making his way in the kitchen. The walk back to the kitchen definitely felt me with worry as for the first time I since I started Calum punishment, I thought about the other boys. Now I'm concerned about what mess I might be walking into. All fear disappeared when I walk in to find three behaved boys, well almost behaved boys. Michael, definitely in full little space, had somehow managed to get ketchup (no it's 5sauce) all over the place. Luckily it looks like he missed his outfit. "Oh boy Kitten, enjoying your breakfast?" I asked upon see the mess. Michael just hums out an adorable little, "yep" I check to see Calum has followed my orders and is patiently waiting. I reach down and unclip the leash placing on the table before turning back to Calum, "Sorry to make you wait but I hope you can understand I need to get Michael washed up first. I'll be right back, ok?" Calum just give me a look of please hurry and I'm off to get a washcloth from the bathroom. I look though the stack of washcloths and grateful to have found a Pikachu one. Michael is definitely super duper fussy to deal with in little space so unless it's cute, and childlike he won't have anything to do with it.

I quickly wet the washcloth and then make my way back to kitchen taking a seat next to Michael, "K, bud let's get you washed up." I started on cleaned Michael pausing to turn back to address Calum which was still waiting patiently at my feet,"Luke, Calum I believe has some to say to you." I prompted Calum to apologize. I turn back to helping Michael, "Don't keep me waiting, Calum" then I hear Luke sass, "Yeah, Cal what do you have to tell me." Immediately I shot Luke Daggering glare which immediately got Luke to straighten up. As I finally finish getting all the ketchup off Michael, I hear a deep breath before some mumbled halfhearted words. "Calum, For Gods sake please speak up. I know you can do better than that. If I couldn't hear you then I definitely know Luke didn't hear you. So try again." I demanded. "This is so humiliating." Muttered Calum definitely thinking I wouldn't hear him.

"You got yourself into this mess, Mister. Now actually apologize or you won't be getting breakfast." I say sternly. I hear some ooooohs immediately after from both Luke and Ashton. I turn to face the both with a stare that commanded obedience, "Everyone will join me when we get back this evening in a training session. I have a new rule that we'll be going over." Groans of disapproval were heard following my statement. "ENOUGH! No more complaints unless you like to add a punishment to your training." That got everyone to straighten up especially Ashton. Finally I turned my attention back to Calum, "Alright, last chance and make it good"

After a deep breath Calum did as a I asked and apologize saying,"Luke, I'm totally sorry for teasing you earlier."  Luke rolled his eyes before saying, "Was that totally necessary? And before you answer yes I forgive you, Calum. Just let's not have this happen again." "Thank you for both of you cooperating. Luke, I'll explain it later tonight and Cally, your finally excused to eat some breakfast."

"Alright, Boys you have......" I turned to the clock on the stove, "......5 minutes before the car comes gets us so hurry up and finish getting ready to leave, k?" I heard various murmurs of "Yes, Miss." "Michael, babe will you please bring me your special backpack?" I asked him as everyone else left to quickly finish getting ready. "Do I have too?!" Whined Michael. "Yes, we need it as someone decided to slip." I said trying to be very careful not to upset Mikey. "Ugh, I don't wanna." Sassed Michael. "Michael, last chance to behave or you won't get Daniel back tonight and you'll face a timeout when we get back." I warned. "No, nooooooo." Screeched Michael. "Hey Buddy, take some deep breaths and calm down," I start as I try to calm the upset little in Michael right now, "Now is my little Mikey going to behave." "Yes, Mommy. I'll be good." "Good then get going." I watched as Michael ran off to fetch the final things he needed before getting up and cleaning the dirty dishes off the table.

Not to long after my phone dinged with a text message saying that our ride was here. "Alright, boys time to go." I shouted up the stairs. Ashton quickly pushed passed Calum as he raced him down the stairs causing a mini fight to happen, all playful of course. Once both boys made it down the stairs I reminded, "Ashton, be careful on the stairs. We don't need anyone getting hurt." Luke slowly followed next with the familiar sound of clicking. Once he made it down l said, "alright, you three go load up while I wait for Michael." Murmurs of "yes" could be hear as they exited the house. I turn back towards the stairs, "Michael, hurry up. Everyone else is already in the car." I shouted. A couple minutes later Michael appeared wear the backpack I asked for with his Converse in his hands. A bit of frown was on his face. He looked scared he be in trouble for holding everyone up. "Do you need help putting your shoes on?" I asked as I watched a bubbly expression grow across his face. Bounding down the stairs Michael responded, "Yes, please mommy." "Alright first give me that backpack," I said sliding the bag off his shoulder, "now come over here and I'll help you with your shoes." I led Michael over to a seat by the front door that was just for this purpose of helping Michael. Once he was seated I made quick work of his shoes before taking his hand and leading him out the door. We quickly load in, getting lots of looks from the other boys. "He needed help with his shoes." I said getting everyone to calm down and forgive us for the hold up.

The car ride to the radio show was a mess but not super unpleasant. First the AC broke then a fight broke out between Calum and Luke over having the windows down. Calum wanted them down but Luke wanted them up because of the wind so after about 5 minutes of fighting with Ash trying to solve the situation, I was able to solve the situation once all with, "Boys if you guys don't stop right now then there'll be serious consequences later." Looks like none of them want extra punishment, glad they are willing to behave right now. Then just before we got the radio station, Michael got super fussy basically complaining about the long car rides.  Michael is little space is definitely the worst with long car rides. Thank heavens I brought his backpack of tricks with me. And with a pair of headphones and Nintendo switch I was able to get Michael to calm down zoning out on some video games. Finally we make it to the radio station and pull around to the door security set up to avoid most of the fans.

Someone from security for the radio station comes out to help usher us inside. They walk us to a makeshift green room before someone else comes to give us further details about the session about to happen. They explain their show and how they plan to introduce them then about the mini gig after before leaving us to get ready. I totally forgot about the couple songs they planned on playing. I hope I can get Michael out of this headspace. Before even thinking about it, l set Michael up with his Nintendo switch in the corner and called the other boys to the other side of the room..

"K, I don't know if anyone has noticed but Michael has slipped into his little mindset. I'll try to get him to where he can perform but I'll need all of you guy to do your best to keep him from answering too many questions. He'll definitely give way to dirty secrets if we don't monitor him. And I don't think any one of you guys want me to lose my job if that happens." "I'll sit next to him and help as much as I can." Ashton said. "Thanks, Ashton I know I can always count on you. Luke, Calum, what about you, guys?" I said as I move around the little circle. Reluctantly both Luke and Calum agreed to help as much as possible. "K, go get ready." I said sending the boys in front of me off to hair and makeup. Once they were gone, I went back to help Michael.

"Hey Bud," I started talking to Michael, "I need your full attention so first give me the Switch." Michael calmly hand me the device almost making me think he was out of little space, but I know better and could tell he was still under. "Thanks for listening. Now how do you feel?"
