#124: You Surprise Him On Tour

Luke:

"I love Paris. It's like no matter how many times we visit this place it always seems to surprise me." Luke was humming a lovely tone coming from the radio once the boys walked into the tour bus. Their cheeks were rosy pink from the cold weather outside, Paris was great but it couldn't compare to the sunny weather back in Los Angeles or Sydney. "No matter how many times we're trying that restaurant it seems like I can't avoid getting stomach aches." Michael almost groaned and ran his hand up and down where his belly button was. "Maybe it's because you shouldn't eat that much. I mean, self control is an important thing here in life." Calum spoke with a smirk growing, knowing that he was only sounding teasing now. Luke rolled his eyes by their weird talks but stopped in track once he noticed papers scattered on the table. "What's that?" Luke looked over his shoulder to grab Calum and Michael's attention. They stopped in track from goofing around and looked at Luke confused. "It looks like math papers?" Luke almost confirmed to himself when he walked forward and took a paper in his hand. He was too confused to recognize the handwriting. "Oh that's mine." A voice said from his behind and he turned it so quick he thought it would fall off. "You think you might be able to help me out? I've been kind of stuck with that since you left the apartment." Luke had to blink twice just to realize what was right in front of him was actually reality. You couldn't help but smile wide, both because you had missed him for ages and to see his face was worth everything but also the fact that he was speechless from the surprise. "What are you doing here?" He almost couldn't get the sentence out without almost stammering. "I came to see my boyfriend. I thought if I needed to make time for both things I just needed to bring the homework with me. Spoke to my teacher about it and she said it was alright." It didn't seem as if Luke was listening all he did was staring you almost believing you weren't there. He was filled with so many emotions at once it was hard trying to cope with it and he almost had to hold in a year when he embraced you. "Please, never leave me again okay? This ride has been a hell alone."

Calum:

"This is so ridiculous? What kind of taxi agency doesn't allow to order an extra one just for the suitcases? Even when you insist paying that extra! What a waste of money on their behalf." Calum shook his head in disbelief and looked at the mess in front of him. At least ten suitcases were standing in front of him and the boys squeezed into the small dressing room. Faint in the background over the Spotify speakers they were able to hear the crowd yelling. They had no idea what kind of chaos was happening behind the black walls. "Don't worry. We'll work it out, we'll take everything in the rented car John has fixed for us. The pieces will fall together in the end." Luke tried to remain calm, wanting it to affect Calum but it didn't work. "Let's just have a blast of a show before next step is Europe." Calum nodded his head in agreement. It was just the words he wanted to hear to let the show happen. It was going to be a blast. But before he could walk towards the stage with the rest he realized he had forgotten plectrums. "Are you serious?" Ashton looked over his shoulder, looking at Michael who was actually hiding the package behind his back. "They're in my suitcase on the top I believe. It will take a sec." Calum seemed deeply annoyed that he had to open his stuff again, and with confusion in his face why it was so heavy he opened it. "Oh my god." He had to look twice, blink and look again before realizing it was actually your goofy smile looking bright up at him. "What are you doing here?" He wasn't supposed to sound like that but he honestly couldn't believe his eyes. "I told you I would show up at some venues. I just didn't tell you which ones." You couldn't help but giggle, the smile on his face was worth everything. He looked back at the boys with a look that said he couldn't believe they had kept this secret from him but also so insanely happy they had done it. "You guys are amazing." He shook his head ever so grateful and leaned down to help you up. It was pretty tight in the suitcase and such a wonderful feeling finally standing up but it couldn't compare to finally being in his warm embrace again.

Michael:

It was with a heavy sigh and tired eyes Michael walked into his hotel room. His ears were ringing with noise, yet he was standing in complete silence. Something he hadn't experienced since he woke up this morning at 9. If it wasn't the boys making tons of noise it was fans makin tons of noise or the guitar or the drums being loud. It was like no matter where he went he couldn't stand still and just for a simple moment rest inside of his head. He could finally rest. The bed had been waiting for him, practically screaming when he left it this morning. He placed the last remaining guitar picks he had collected from tonight's show and sighed heavily again. He wasn't sure if he was able to sleep yet even though his limps felt like they could give out any minute from now. Looking over at the balcony door he nodded his head carefully and walked towards it. Might as well just breath in and take a view, it was Hong Kong after all with a pretty view. The weather wasn't as cold as he had remembered it and when he placed his hands on the rack he looked around in silence. "Looks pretty neat, huh? I've never actually been to Hong Kong but so far I'm very impressed." Michael's head turned around instantly by your words, his eyes so wide he definitely thought he was having visions. "You know it's been 34 days and 12 hours since the last time I saw you? It has barely been over a month and I honestly couldn't fall asleep anymore." "Is it really you?" He had to ask the question, he knew he was so tired his brain could easily fool. He didn't want to get high expectations. "The Y/N Y/L/N herself." You smiled, "I thought we needed to see each other at least every month. Otherwise we won't survive this tour." He didn't form words, he had no idea how to express his feelings but you knew what he was thinking. With one large collapse he grabbed onto your shoulders and knocked you onto the bed, almost falling on top of you. He was breathing in heavily but with such a happy smile on his face he couldn't believe it. He had felt so alone the last couple of days trying to survive the jetlag but now he finally seemed to get his night of sleep.

Ashton:

With the mix of smelled brewed coffee and people talking in the background taking orders, Ashton lifted his sunglasses into his hair once he walked into the coffee shop. It looked just as identical to the ones back in Sydney, yet the language was different and he was having a hard time trying to understand the Dutch words written on the board above the workers. He could tell Cal looked the same, he wasn't understanding what was going on but that was also the adventure of being in a foreign country. The orders had been placed and while being entertained by his phone he watched as Calum headed towards an empty spot in the cafe. Not many people had showed up and it couldn't compare to the big ones he had visited in Los Angeles but they were still pretty big. "Ashton." When his name was called his head shot up and as he hurried towards the two coffees placed in front of him he furrowed his eyebrows. "This isn't the right name." He didn't want to sound rude but the name on Calum's cup wasn't correct. It added to his confusion when he read Y/N instead of the male name. "The lady ordering it said it had to be together with this." The cashier spoke the best English he could and pointed over Ashton's shoulder. "That's a good thing they can actually spell my name around here. Remember when they couldn't even spell it right in Toronto?" Ashton almost had to blink twice just to make sure that was in fact your voice. There you stood, with the messy bun and with the hoodie he had given you. Just a couple of weeks later from the moment he said goodbye to you at the airport. "Would you like to drink some coffee with me and Cal? I promise this won't be a goodbye coffee." You made sure to blink by the last words, trying to hold in the laughter because he both looked surprised but also like he had seen a ghost. "Hey you." You smiled softly, opening your arms and laughing when he let go of the originals completely. He didn't even care about it at this point all he wanted was to hug you, feel your warmth and smell in your scent. "I can't believe you're here." He nuzzled his nose into your hair, "But here I am." You whispered back, running your hands up and down his back happy by the surprise.
