Being Luke Hemmings' Twin (5sos fanfic)

Part 19

Christmas Eve. A day when everyone spends quality time with their family and friends.

In the Hemmings household, it was a day our parents let us have as many friends over as we wanted, because Christmas Day was strictly family only.

Most years it had just been Ellie and Calum, but this year we also invited Michael and Ashton. I hadn't spoken to any of the boys, except Luke of course, since that day at the shops and I was not looking forward to seeing them again today. I looked at my phone and saw it was already ten o'clock, everyone would be here soon.

I groaned and rolled myself out of bed. Literally. I landed on the ground with a thud and crawled into my bathroom. Once I had finished showering I walked back into my room with a towel wrapped around my body. I picked out my pink, white and black Sex Pistols shirt that showed my belly button when I put my arms up and grey denim shorts to wear with a pink belt. Once I was dressed I dried my hair and, leaving it curly, pulled it back into a pony tail before setting free a few strands around my face.

I quickly checked my twitter when I heard the doorbell ring. I sighed and walked downstairs.

I realised Luke wasn't anywhere to be seen so it meant I had to answer the door. I sighed again because I knew I would have to face them one day. I opened the door and came face to face with a nervous looking Calum.

"Hi Charlie," he said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Calum, since when do you ring the doorbell?" I laughed, trying to break the tension a little.

Calum bit his lip nervously and I hated it. Him biting his lip was incredibly attractive but we were meant to be friends. And friends aren't this nervous around each other.

"I guess I didn't think you'd want me barging into your house uninvited anymore," he replied.

"Calum, we need things to stop being awkward. I just want to go back to being friends. Best friends. Like we were before all this dating stuff happened. Please?" I basically begged.

Calum sighed before nodding and I smiled. This made him smile too and I grabbed his hand, pulling him inside the house.

"Luuuukkkeee!!!" I yelled out since I still hadn't seen him all day. When he didn't reply I turned back to Calum, "what should we do while we wait for the others?" I asked.

"Uuummmmmmmmmmmmmm..." Calum said, dragging out the 'm' like his usual annoying self.

I rolled my eyes and went to turn on some music on Luke's iPod which was plugged into the dock in the lounge room. I pressed shuffle and What I Go To School For by Busted came on. I turned it up as loud as possible and we danced around belting the lyrics.

We continued this for a few more songs before a sleepy looking Luke walked down the stairs.

"What the fu- hey look at you two being friends again," he said when he saw Calum and I dancing.

"Yep!" Calum said pulling me into a headlock and scruffing up my hair.

"Hey!" I protested as the doorbell rang. Luke ran back upstairs to get ready because he was still in his pyjamas, and I just hoped Ashton hadn't got here before Michael and Ellie. But of course, that wasn't the case and there stood the flawless blond boy with his hair straightened into a fringe covering half his face.

"G'day," Ashton said when he saw me.

I smiled and replied with a simple, "hey," and ushered for him to come inside.

Ashton walked into the lounge room and saw Calum. You could feel the tension in the room as they stared each other down and I tried to think of a way to ease the tension - then it hit me.

"Hey guys, wanna play?" I asked holding up Luke's FIFA game. We'd played it a lot and I must admit I was pretty good. Everyone loves FIFA, right?

Calum looked over at me and smiled, Ashton on the other hand looked at his feet, "I don't really like FIFA," he mumbled.

"WHAT?!" Calum and I shouted, shocked.

"How can you not like FIFA?!" Calum asked.

Ashton shrugged.

I patted the spot on the couch next to me, "come on, we're teaching you how to play, right Calum?"

"Hell yeah!" Calum replied, I'm not having a band member who doesn't like FIFA!!"

We all laughed as I put in the disk and we all grabbed controllers. This day had started off pretty well.
