It's 8pm and the boys are all hungry, they have organised to go to pizza hut for dinner and they have a salad bar there so Luke doesn't have to eat pizza.
"Okay boys you can all go get dinner, we're gonna need to be back on the road by at least 10 okay?" The boys all nod their heads at the tour bus driver who tells them to have a good time and walks away to a dinner across the road.
"So where are we?" Michael asks as the boys make their way down the pathway which should lead straight to pizza hut.
Calum looks around at the big signs and notices a shop saying 'Chicago Coffee'
"Chicago" Calum answered the green haired boy, they were all walking down the over sized sidewalk, Michael on the on the left (roadside) then Luke, Ashton and Calum on the far right, Ashtons hand had brushed over Calums one too many times to be accidental.
Calum looks over to Ashton and notices the slight blush swept over the curly haired boys cheeks, he wants to laugh but doesn't want to cause the boy embarrassment.
"Oh! Oh! I see it!" Michael exclaims pointing to the brightly lit pizza shop, the green haired boy runs up to the door but turns around to see the rest of the boys a bit behind.
"Come on! I'm hungry!" Michael keeps looking at the boys and has since stepped away from the door, but he just pouts a bit when he notices the other boys purposely taking their time.
"Hmp" He says still looking at them but moving forward to walk through the door.
"FUC-" Michael falls to the ground when his body makes full force with the closed door, causing him to crumple to the ground in a pouting heap.
"Oh shifz you alright Mikey?" Ashton asks bending down next to the swearing boy, Michael looks up at Ashton and just nods his head.
"Stupid fucking doors I mean, who put that there?!" The other boys can't help but smile as they notice their Mikey isn't hurt.
Calum comes over to help Mikey up while Luke stands back, knowing he wouldn't be any help with his bandage still on his wrist, which speaking of he needed to get Ashton to change it tonight.
"Okay! lets go eat" Michael says once he flings himself up and struts with extra sass towards the right door.

"M'kay I want that one, that one, that one an- wait can I get more than one topping of cheese on that please? Yeah cool okay and I want tha-"
Calum and Ashton smile at their friends antics, obviously not surprised by how much he is ordering, but while the three boys are ordering their pizza, Luke has already gotten a plate and moved to the salad bar.
Most of the salads look alright, some with questionable sauces, but for Luke it all looks like more carbs.
"I would recommend the potato salad, the sauce isn't too heavy and the potatoes were done today." Shocked by the sudden voice in his ear, Luke turns to face a boy, maybe 19? with blonde hair with brown roots showing through, he has his hair down and just above his eyebrows, and piercing green eyes which the blonde find hard to look away from.
"Oh um...thanks I love potato salad" Luke says feeling a blush from the strangers close quarters.
"It's alright, I'm Archie!" The boys says pushing his hand out from his jumper pocket.
Luke smiles politely and shakes the boys hand before turning back to the salad bar and looking over the potato salad, he looks down at the nutrition values and nearly shivers when he notices the high number on carbs.
Archie notices Luke looking at the number on the little board and frowns while looking at the blonde.
"You shouldn't worry about the number you know, It's just a number" Turning to look at the green eyed stranger Luke starts to stutter out an explanation.
"N-no I w-wasn't I just.."
"It's fine" Archie says leaning closer to Luke a bit too much for his liking, but from the personality of the boy Luke happens to think he's just very friendly.
"I'm not going to judge you..."
"Luke"
"Luke, so don't worry but just know that I happen to think you are very fit!" Archie finishes his speech with a grin which has Luke going weak at the knees.
"So here" Archie grabs Lukes plate and picks up the potato salad spoon and lifts a nice portion onto Lukes plate, he turns to give the plate to Luke, and when he hands it over and their fingers touch, they both freeze, still sort of holding hands while holding a plate.
"I um..." Luke starts to say
"Oh hey Luke!" Ashton says grabbing the plate from the middle of the two boys and pushing his way inbetween.
"We were looking for you babe!" Calum says walking over to the blonde boy with his jaw clenched tight, and eyes burning with jealousy.
"Who's this?" Calum says pointing to Archie who has taken a step back to let the other boys move in, but by no means has gotten shy.
Luke moves his gaze to the boy opposite him and shyly says "This is Ar-" "Archie!" The boy says moving to shake Calum and Ashtons hand, he smiles big and reaches to his pocket.
"Well I better get going Luke but if you ever want someone to remind you you're beautiful, give me a call" He finishes with a bashful wink and hands Luke a bit of paper with Archies number scribbled on the top with a heart and a few 'xx'
"O-okay I will t-thanks Archie" Luke says as he waves at the boy leaving the store.
Ashton and Calum are both glaring at the retreating boy.
Once he was out of their vision they both turned to Luke who was holding his plate of potato salad and just gazing at it with a small smile and blush clear on his cheeks.
"Well! He seemed weird! Better throw his number away..." Calum says reaching towards the piece of paper on the edge of Lukes plate.
"No! He was nice and he seemed interesting" Luke said scrunching his eyebrows up when the kiwi boy grabbed the number and ripped it up into little bits and threw it away into a near by trash bin.
"There you boys are!" Michael says moving further into the table booth to make room for the others. "What took you so long?" Michael says noticing the way Calum has a protective arm around Lukes shoulders and Ashton glaring at anybody who walks by the table. Luke sighs "I just met some guy and these guys thought he was too good for me or something.." Calum quickly retracts his arm and shakes his head. "No no Lukey it's not that he was too good for you! you're too good for him! and plus you need someone who is always going to be there, someone who knows how to make you laugh, people who know how to comfort you when you cry and people who know your favourite t.v shows...." Calum trails off and looks down to his hands which are resting on the table. Ashton and Michael pick at the pizza on the table, putting a few pieces on their plates while look down. "Thanks Cal but no one would want to learn all of that about me" Luke laughs sadly and drops his fork on the plate, not having had more than a small bite. "I would" Luke looks up at Ashton from across the table shocked. "W-what?" Luke splutters out Ashton looks shocked himself for a minute, he didn't mean to say that, oh shit "O-oh I just...you know I mean we all know you so well and, and I don't know, you deserve the best Lukey.." The table is met with silence, no one sure what to say, they all want to vomit their feelings out but how do they put it? They don't know they all feel the same way about each other. "I love you all" Michael bursts out in one breath. Wait what?
