#83: He Can't Fall Asleep

Luke:

"You know how hard words are to say sometimes?" His eyes were glancing up at the white ceiling with bags under his eyes, looking over at your sleeping face. He wasn't expecting an answer and it was also the reason why he was speaking so quiet. He truly didn't want to you hear. Not yet. "I really want to say it, sometimes it's literally the only thing on my mind but then I ruin it by something stupid." He glanced over and slowly caressed his rough finger tips on your soft cheek. Even by the softest touch he could feel your heartbeat pulse through your body and he leaned forward to press a tender kiss to your skin. He wished it was easy and that he wasn't so shy it normally didn't happen but this time. It was so different for him. Never had something meant so much. "One day, I will be able to say the three words. And not just to your sleeping face." He chuckled silently by his lame words and wrapped an arm around to pull you closer and happily in instinct you leaned forward and were embraced into his chest. "I love you Y/N. Goodnight."

Calum:

"What are you doing?" The voice was so faint and groggy from the sleep he almost felt a jolt going through his body. He looked over to his left to see your face pretty confused, eyes keeping on fluttering just to try and see if you could focus on anything. Your eyes were tired and the fact that he was almost flashing his phone in your face made it even harder to actually look over at him in the otherwise very black room. "Oh, sorry I wasn't supposed to wake you up." He mumbled a bit confused and lifted up the options on his phone so he could lower the lights. You sighed softly by his words and quivered an eyebrow when he went back to playing the Instagram video he had been watching. "I'm just watching puppy videos to try see if it makes me fall asleep." You opened an eye again to see the video of puppies running around in the garden and you fell back onto his chest tired. "Maybe you should actually watch something bored that makes you tired." He looked down at your suggestion as if he was fake offended and you laughed quietly with closed eyes.

Michael:

"What the fuck we are supposed to team up Cal what are you doing!" He almost yelled out in frustration and kept on pressing buttons onto his controller, he was sure he would sooner than later break it with how fast he was. He knew that Calum wasn't able to hear him but he still wanted to say it out loud. Things weren't going as planned in the game they were both playing from their separated hotel rooms but he couldn't get the chance to complain to him over iMessage. He was so caught up in his game and the fact that he sooner than later would lose that he hadn't noticed the confused gaze on your face. "Wait, oh no babe did I wake you up?" He questioned as if he really hadn't realized he had been screaming at the screen for over thirty minutes. You furrowed your eyebrow confused still not fully awake and fell back onto the pillow with a huff, closing your eyes again. "I think you just woke up the whole neighborhood." It was the last sentence that came out of your mouth before you drifted back, hearing the sounds of his chuckles and curses.

Ashton:

"I'm sorry." He felt the lump in his throat suddenly tear apart and loosen, allowing him to finally swallow – something he hadn't been able to do for the past two hours. He wasn't sure if you had heard but he needed to say it, it had been lingering on his tongue waiting to come out but he didn't have the guts to say it. He knew it was the only reason why he was still awake after midnight, he had almost managed to count all the pieces of wood covering your ceiling. "I somehow wished you could say that and not to what you assume to be my sleeping face." You quivered an eye open to look at him and show that you weren't less sleeping yourself. He looked nervously down at the sheets a little bit ashamed and sighed. "Just please appreciate that I said it no matter what?" You nodded your head tiredly and moved around so you weren't sleeping with such distance between you and moved the sheets up to his chest. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Too tired." He nodded his head in agreement and wrapped an arm around you, finally knowing that he would be able to sleep peacefully.
