Teagan's POV:

I hear soft noises and whispering outside my bunk, and feel a finger poke my shoulder as I scrunch deeper under my blanket. My arms tighten around someone's torso, and I dig my face in to their chest as the whispering turns to giggles.

"Would you guys shut up? I'm trying to sleep," I mutter groggily, turning over to find Ashton, Michael, and Luke with their phones out, peering in to my - wait, no - Calum's bunk.

Oh god.

No, no, no.

Did I fall asleep in Calum's bed?

I roll over, and sure enough Calum's pushed up against me, his curly hair strewn across the pillow.

"It's not what it looks like," I say hastily, popping out of his bunk as fast as humanly possible. "I-I had a nightmare so I-"

"So you ran to your fuck buddy to make it better?" Michael asks, making the other boys double over in laughter.

"I-it's not like that," I mumble, nearly on the verge of crying. I don't know why, but I feel like if they say one more word I'm gonna burst in to tears.

"We know it's not," Luke butts in, elbowing Michael roughly in the stomach.

"Heyyy, what was that for?" Michael moans, clutching his stomach as he doubles over.

"No reason," Luke shrugs, tugging on Ashton and Michael's arms to get them to leave. "C'mon guys, let's leave them alone," he whispers a little too loudly. They retreat to the front of the bus, talking and laughing and I hear them turn on the Xbox console.

I timidly tiptoe over to Calum's bunk, poking my head around the curtain to find him still sound asleep. I reach out to touch his face and pull back quickly, suddenly feeling like a major creep. I turn away, getting ready to crawl in to my own bunk when I feel a hand wrap around my wrist.

"Are you going to stand there and stare at me creepily, or are you going to get in this bed and snuggle with me?"

I turn around hesitantly to find Calum laying there with his arm slung over his face, his eyes just visible, watching for my answer.

"I-I'll snuggle for a little," I blush, sending a quick glance towards the living room where the boys are immersed in their current FIFA game. I slip under the covers where Calum's pushed them back, and he tucks them around us, turning over to face me.

"Hi."

"Hey."

"What's up?"

"I'm in bed with a loser. What about you?"

"In bed with an equally loser-ish person."

"Sounds like fun."

"Yeah, it is."

"God, you're adorable," he smirks, giggling as I cover my face with the blanket.

"You made me blush, damn it," I whimper, swatting at Calum's arms as he wraps them firmly around me.

"Good. That's the point. You're cute when you blush," he reassures me, rubbing my back with his thumb.

"So uh, about last night.....," I trail off, not sure how to say what's on my mind.
