Happy (Malum Twitter AU) -on hold-

Mikey's POV

The rest of the concert was a blur. I waited in my seat until most of the other fans had left the venue before I walked back to where Calum told me to go in order to get backstage.
I saw a man with a headset and clipboard and walked up to him, "Um, excuse me?"
He didn't bother to look up before he responded, "You should have left by now."
"Sorry? Calum told me to talk to you to get backstage."
"Nice try, no one gets to go backstage except the band and crew."
"I'm Michael. Clifford. Calum Hood told me to find you."
At the mention of my name his head snapped up, "That he did. Sorry, kids try all the time to get backstage by saying that they know someone in the band. Follow me." He spoke into his headset and a different security guard came and took his place.
He brought me through a bunch of different hallways until we reached a door that had a sign that read, 'Eternal Summer'. "Here you are," the security guard said and then left me there.
I slowly raised my hand and knocked on the door a few times. I waited for a minute or two until someone on the other side of the door pulled it open.
Before I could even comprehend what was happening, I was pulled into a sweaty body. I hesitantly hugged them back, still not exactly knowing who they were.
"Oi, Ash, get your arms off of him," I heard Calum shout from somewhere within the dressing room.
"Okay, okay," the arms removed themselves from around me. He took a step back and put out his hand, "Hi, I'm Ashton. It's good to finally meet the person that Cal talks about all of the time."
My inner fanboy was starting to show as I shook his hand, not able to respond to one of the people that I had been looking up to for years. When I finally found my voice all I could say was, "Um, hi."
"Oh my gosh, Cal, he's so cute,"Ashton gushed.
A blush found its way to my cheeks as Calum walked over and pushed Ashton out of the way saying, "I'm well aware, Ash."
He smiled at me, "Hey, baby."
I threw my arms around his waist and pushed my face into his chest, "You were amazing."
He put his arms around my shoulders and rested his head on mine, "Thanks, Mikey.  D'you want to meet the rest of the band?"
I stepped out of the hug and put a hand on my chest in mock defense, "Are you even asking me that question?  It's like you don't even know me."
"Yeah, yeah. Well you've already sort of met Ashton, but that's him right there.  Niall is with the Parallel guys right now so we can go hang out with them once Luke is out of the shower."
"Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that Luke Hemmings is taking a shower right now in my vicinity. And you expect me to just be calm while knowing that information?"
"Well, yeah."
"Okay, well, you've obviously either have never been a huge fan of something or seen Luke Hemmings because I don't think that that is even possible."
Ashton laughed, "I think you've got some competition, Calum."
I looked at Calum who had a look that was a mix between sadness, anger, and jealousy. I smirked before I grabbed his face and kissed him. "Don't worry babe, I only wanna be with you." I pecked his lips again. "But that doesn't mean I don't wanna see Luke."
"What about me?"
I turned around and was faced by a freshly showered, still wet, towel wrapped low around his waist Luke. "Oh okay," was all I could say as I scanned him up and down. I heard Calum grumble something from behind me and he wrapped his arms around my waist.
I leaned into him as Luke introduced himself, "You must be Michael. Calum said you were coming tonight. I'm Luke, but you probably already knew that."
"Cocky much?" Calum breathed into my ear.
I turned my head to look at him, "Don't be jealous, it's not cute. Well, no it is, but you have nothing to be jealous over. I'm not into blonds."  I kissed his cheek.
"Good," he kissed my cheek, "Because you're mine."
"I mean, he's not technically.  From my knowledge you haven't asked him to be your boyfriend yet," Luke piped up from where he was leaning on the doorframe to the bathroom, still in his towel.
"Luke," Calum practically growled.
Luke held his hands up in surrender, "Kidding, kidding."
"Mhm, you'd better be. Well, I'm going to go introduce Mikey to Niall and the rest of the guys. Bye." Calum steered me out of their dressing room and down the hall to a different dressing room. He pushed open the door and I was immediately met with a totally different environment than the one that was in Eternal Summer's. Niall, Zayn, and Louis were playing a video game while Harry and Liam were joking around with each other. Harry was pressed up to Louis' side on the couch. It was a nice change from the slightly awkward vibe that was around Luke in the other dressing room.
"Hey guys. This is Michael."
Liam and Harry stopped their conversation for a moment to greet me, but Louis and Zayn just mumbled a response, clearly very invested in the game they were playing. Niall, on the other hand, threw his controller down and jumped off of the couch, running over to Calum and I.
"So this is the famous Michael. It's nice to meet you. Calum never shuts up about you. Even before you met. It was always 'Look at this cute fan I found on Twitter.' or 'We're going to the city where Michael lives. How do I ask to meet him?' He was so into you," Niall said enthusiastically.
"Niall, shut up," Calum whined.
"No, Niall, keep talking," I laughed.
Niall, Calum, and I sat on the couch adjacent to the one that the rest of the boys were on. We were soon joined by Ashton and Luke, who was now fully clothed. We talked for an hour or two, and no I totally did not have an inner fanboy attack, that would just be crazy.

A/N: sorry for the long wait and for the crappy ending
