He's A Family Friend

Calum:

You're waiting for your older brother to collect you from school, but after twenty minutes you finally give in and stand up, figuring he's probably forgotten. Just as you're about to leave, his car pulls up and you get in, sitting down before noticing his best friend, Calum, in the front seat. "He's staying over tonight," your brother says, nodding at Calum. You bite your lip, hoping that Calum won't pick up on how much you like him tonight. Throughout the evening, you try your best to ignore him (although you can't help but sneak glances at him when he isn't looking). He tries inviting you to join them playing on the PlayStation, but you decline and head to your room to listen to music and do homework.

After an hour, you feel you earphones being tugged from your ears, and spin your chair around, thinking it's your brother. Instead, Calum is standing in front of. "I promised him I wouldn't act on it," he mutters. "Screw it." He leans down towards you and seconds later, his lips are on yours.

Ashton:

You're waiting for your older sister to get home so she can introduce you to the friend she's been telling you about all week. A moment later, the front door clicks open and in walks your sister, followed by a boy with a cheeky grin and curly brown hair. "Y/N," he smiles. "Hey, um, I'm Ashton."

You wonder how he knows your name - you hadn't known his - but you don't ask. You say hello to him before your sister suggests you take him into the living room. "I'll be right back," Ashton says, before disappearing out of the room. A few minutes pass and you decide to get a drink. You stop when you reach the kitchen - you can hear people talking inside and don't want to interrupt.

"Thanks for doing this," Ashton says.

Your sister replies, "You're welcome. I know how much you like Y/N."

Before you can hide, Ashton emerges from the kitchen. When he sees you, he immediately blushes. You step forwards, placing a hand on his arm to reassure him. "Don't worry, I like you too." You pull him down to your height before kissing him, stopping only when your sister coughs, saying, "Get a room."

Luke:

You're staying with your cousin while your parents are out of town. One day, she comes home with a boy, who she introduces to you as Luke. You think he's cute, and he makes you laugh as you all watch a film together, but you don't act on it, assuming he's your cousin's boyfriend. He leaves the room to answer his phone, and your cousin shoves you.
"What was that for?" You ask, hoping she hasn't noticed how you've been looking at Luke.

"He likes you," she says. You open your mouth to apologise, but she cuts you off by saying, "Just ask him out already!"

"What?" You say. "I thought you two were together?"

She laughs and shakes her head. "No way! I'm dating one of his friends. Mickey thinks it would be good for me to get to know his friends."

"Did I miss anything?" Luke asks as he returns.

You avoid the knowing look your cousin is giving you, and she answers by saying, "I was just telling Y/N how I think you two should go out."

You raise your glass of orange juice to your lips so you don't have to respond, but nearly spit out your drink when Luke says, "I agree." You look at him and he smirks. "So, d'ya wanna go out sometime?"

Michael:

You look at yourself in the mirror, hoping that your mum will approve of the red dress with black ribbon that you've opted for; all she said was to dress smartly so that everyone looks their best for the dinner she's organised for your family, and the family of some of your parents' friends that you haven't met before. The doorbell rings and your mum calls you downstairs. "Y/N, could you please entertain Michael while I finish making dinner?" Your mothers asks. You nod and a tall boy with dyed blue hair - Michael, you assume - steps towards you and you introduce yourselves. 'He's kind of cute,' you think, looking away when you realise he's staring at you.

"So, how exactly are you 'entertaining' me?" He says as you lead him to the garden. You blush at the suggestive way he says 'entertaining', but you shrug.

"We could . . .talk?" You offer shyly.

Michael smirks. "I can think of a better way to spend our time," he murmurs before pressing his lips to yours.
