One Direction and 5SOS Preferences and Imagines

You have a dance competion and he surprises you (Ashton)

"Babe, I just really miss you," I sighed into the phone. Ashton had been away for two months and with half a month until he could come home, I was getting really lonely without him.

"I miss you too, but I'll be back before you know it, okay?" he replied.

I nodded, knowing he couldn't see me, and replied, "I know. Just don't forget about me while you're out having fun," I laughed lightly. "I can have someone record my dance recital if you wanna see it."

"I'd love to see it, baby. I'm really sorry we can't be there."

"It's okay. You're out there living your dream, I wouldn't want you to come home early just for a dance performance."

"Have someone record it for me. But I expect a different kind of performance when I get back, okay?" I could hear the smirk in his voice and rolled my eyes with a laugh.

"I expect the same performance so it looks like we'll both get our wishes. I've gotta go, dance is about to start. I love you Ash," I smiled.

"I love you too, [Y/N]." I hung up and stretched before going over my solo with my dance instructor. When I started choreographing the routine, I figured Ash and the guys would still be home but they had a surprise America/Canada tour added and wouldn't be here for the recital. I was upset, obviously, but I knew they were having the time of their lives out there on the road and I couldn't ask for anything more for them.

*One week later*

I was so excited. Partially because I only had one more week to wait for Ashton to come home and partially because I had one hour until I went onstage for my solo. I'd spent three months working on the routine and I was beyond ready to finally show it off. The only sad thing about it was knowing my boyfriend and three of my best friends wouldn't be there to see it, especially since I made it with all of them in mind.

"[Y/N], keep practicing," my instructor told me. I moved back to the open area backstage and put my headphones in to play my music and practice quietly. I stood from a disc and prepped for the fouettes but someone grabbed me in a hug from beyond, pulling my headphones out and stopping me mid-routine.

"Ashton?!" I whisper-shouted once I was set down.

"Hey love," he smiled.

"What are you doing here?" I thought my face was going to crack because of the immense smile on my face.

"We finished the tour and decided to head back so we could see your dance."

"Wait... we? Are the other guys here too?" I asked. He nodded and I ran to the edge of the curtain so the crowd wouldn't see me. Sure enough, Luke, Calum, and Michael were sitting in the front row with an open seat for Ashton. "You guys are the best," I smiled, getting a bit teary-eyed.

"Well you're our favorite girl, we couldn't let you down." Ash pulled me in for a hug before giving me a quick kiss and heading back to his seat so I could keep practicing. Knowing they would all be there actually made me more nervous. I was ecstatic about it but my routine was for them, about them, to their song. Well shit, now I'm going to mess up.

Soon enough, my name was called to go onstage. I tugged at the bottom of my dance shorts and straightened my performance top before stepping onstage and walking to the center. The music started and I glanced up at the guys to gauge their reactions. Everyone had a smile on their face but Calum looked more excited than the rest. Once the lyrics started, I prepped for my beginning double and let the music take over from there. The crowd applauded as I finished the routine but the four goobers in the front row stood and whistled too, making me laugh as I walked offstage. I met all the guys in the lobby area and started a five person group hug.

"I'm so glad you guys are here!" I half-cried.

"We're happy to be back too [Y/N]," Luke said.

"Did you like the dance?" I asked, pulling away from everyone.

"I thought it was amazing," Michael responded.

"Especially since it was to one of our songs," Cal added.

"And I'm pretty sure Ashton started to tear up a bit," Luke smiled."What?! I did not!" Ashton insisted.

"Whatever," you laughed. "Do you guys wanna go get something to eat? I have to go back for the very end when the whole studio walks out but we could go to ihop or something afterwards?"

"Yeah, I could definitely go for food," Luke said.

"You could always go for food," Michael added. Ashton pulled me to the side a bit for a more private conversation.

"You were amazing up there," he said with a huge smile.

"Well thanks," I smiled back. "There's more where that came from if you want another show when we get home." I played with the hem of my shirt and glanced up at Ash, noticing his change of expression and getting even more excited for when we'd finally be alone.

"God, I've missed you."
