Bromance In The band

Chapter 1

Romance within the band. M.A.D

"It was a dark and gloomy night, and everyone was fast asleep, all except one..." Ben read quietly to Michael as he tried to get him to sleep. Truth was, there was no way mike was going to sleep tonight.

Outside the storm was still going and with no electric and lights Michael was actually petrified. He's scared of the dark. Dan was sitting on his iPad but that wouldn't last for much longer because it is going to run out of charge. So Ben does the only thing he can think of and try to comfort the shaking Michael.

Bens POV

"Mike you're gonna have to sleep at some point" I say to his with a sigh as I look into his eyes. I couldn't believe he was so scared of the dark. He said he used to cuddle up to miley back home but I didn't know what to do, I'm not a dog.

Inearly have a heart attack as Michael suddenly leaps up, somewhat in freight as I look to where he's looking. Dan fell off the chair.

"Oh way to go dan, he was almost asleep"

Dan looked at me with narrowed eyes, clearly embarrassed. "Stop acting like his mum, he needs to stop being a wimp!"

"HEY THATS NOT FAIR!" I hear Michael hell the first words he's said in nearly an hour now.

"Calm down mike it's ok, he won't annoy you. Go to sleep. You want me to read you another story?"

Michael looked at me with a pouty face and whimpered. "Uhm, um, can you...can you come to bed with me?"

That's what he wanted. Ok then,,,

"Uh...sure" I said as I feel him grab on to me, expecting me to carry him and put him back into bed which is only 1 metre away. "You're lazy, you know that right?" I laugh at the boy, who's actually older than you'd think. He's going to be 17 soon, that's a laugh. He acts all hard on the outside but if only everyone could see him now, cuddled up to me in bed shaking like mad because of the storm. It's quite cute really.

I find my self absent mindedly smiling into the distance as I get a shout from dan.

"Oi mate you two look pretty comfy over there"

"You're just jealous. Fancy joining us?" I call back in retaliation. Now clearly isn't the time. He's just In a mood because we have no wifi. In fact we don't have anything but a candle now, because the iPad just shut down. No phones, no iPad, no lights, no heating. And George isn't due to be back until next week.

This looks like it's going to be so much fun to be honest I thought it would be fin. Kind of like a lads holiday seeing as George isn't here for a week but it's already going bad. I don't want to worry him though. It's only a storm. Truth is michaels making me nauseous. I'm starting to get scared myself.

"Bens getting scar-ed bens getting scared!" Dan chats and laughs as I realise I've been having a terrified look on my face. I brush it off and ignore him.

"Hey Ben?" Michael calls softly from underneath me where he was tugging my tshirt and burying his face into me.

"Yeah?"

"I love you....."

I looked down on his face as he looked up at me with somewhat pleading eyes. Never seen that before

"Tell me you love me back"

"I love you too" I say to him, unsure as to why he said that, and especially as to what was with the face. Almost...no it's not that. He's just scared of the dark.

"Want to go to sleep now, sweet?"

"As long as I'm with you, yes...can I cuddle you?" He asked me, still cuddled up in my chest.

"Yeah"

"Can I put my leg over you?" Ok what?

"Mike are you ok, you're acting strange..."

"I just love you , ok. Can I out my leg over you?"

"Why?" I question, but decide to give in, because he's starting to look sad.

"I always put my leg out when I sleep...I can't because I'm sharing with you" I go spot shuffle over a bit but he shouts

"NO! I mean...no...I want to sleep with you. Never mind. I'll probably just put my leg over you"

"Ok" I say back as I settle down into the pillow which mike now intended on sharing with me, although there were three overs. With my face right next to his and his arms around my tummy we started drifting off to sleep. And the last thing I heard was Michael whisper four words.

"I really love you".
