Sugar & Spice //C.A.L.M//

Welcome Home pt. 2

  "Ugh, I think I ate too much." Michael pouted as he rubbed his stomach.

"Just because it's called an endless buffet, doesn't mean you need to eat everything they have. Silly goose." Calum chuckled.

The five boys had just gotten back to the apartment after eating.

There was a lot of catching up and explaining that Luke had to do, the boys took their time eating and Michael may have gone a little to overboard.

"I know, but I really couldn't decide what to eat. Plus who knows when we'll get to all go out like this again." The colorful male sat down on the couch, next to the blonde.

"So, how was tour Casey?" The red-head asked.

"It was even more amazing then I thought it would be. You guys should come to some of these places with us, sometime." Casey suggested.

"Yeah, that would be really cool. Oh hey don't you have a show tonight?" Ashton asked.

"Yeah, you guys are still coming right?" 

"Of course! We wouldn't miss it for the world!" Luke spoke, sitting down beside his curly-haired friend.

"So did you take any photos?" 

"Oh, boy did I" Casey smiled as he pulled out his phone.

----

"Alright, so I'll see you guys tonight? " The brunette hugged each boy before leaving out the front door.

"It sucks that he has to go and rehearse, I wish we could have more time with him." Luke pouted, the colorful boy grabbed the blonde's hand in comfort. 

"We'll see him tonight, Lukey, it'll be okay."

"Yeah, why don't we go shopping to pass the time by?" Ashton suggested.

"Shopping for what?" 

"For tonight." The red-head smiled, he grabbed his keys and motioned for the others to follow him.

The four boys left the comfort of the apartment, Luke needed to keep his mind occupied and the boys knew just what to do.

"So, where exactly are we going?" Luke asked as he got in the backseat of Ashton's truck.

"You'll see soon enough, love." Ashton smiled at him through the rearview mirror. 

It only took them five minutes before they were at their destination.

"I thought we were going shopping?" The blonde asked confused at what he was looking at.

"We are, but theirs somewhere I wanted to stop by first."

The four got out of the car, Ashton took Luke's thin fingers in his own as he led the blonde to the colorful building.

Calum held out his hand for the colorful boy to take, the four boys together went into the building.

The two younger boys were in awe as they stepped foot in the building, it was just as colorful on the inside as it was the outside. 

"What is this place?" Michael asked, not knowing where to look.

"Its-"

"Hello boys, I see two new faces today." A green-haired lady asked the boys, answering Michael's question.

"Hey Ronnie, " Ashton spoke, it was a bit obvious now that the two older males had been here before.

"This is Luke and Michael, we thought it was time to show them our secret place " The Maori explained to Ronnie.

The girl smiled at the two " Well, I hope you boys enjoy your time here. " Ronnie smiled, extending her arm out letting them know they can now walk more into the building.

As the boys walked into the depths of the oh-so colorful building, they noticed all kinds of things on the walls.

It goes from paintings, professional and amateur to just letters written in many different colors.

There are probably about four floors of nothing but strangers' feelings written on the inside walls. 

There isn't a wall that isn't colored, even if it's just blank, it's still full of color.

It truly was an interesting sight to see for the two boys who had no idea this place even existed. 

The four boys walked over to the elevator doors, the Maori pushed the button to allow them to go up. 

"What do you boys think so far?" 

"I'm still confused, where are we, what is this?" Luke questioned, looking at the older.

"Well," The elevator dinged, the doors opening before them allowing the boys to get on "It's really anything you want it to be. I think Calum and I still haven't figured it out either, but when we ask an employee, they tell us just that; It's whatever we want it to be. It's an escape from the dark world outside, it's an excuse to get out the words you want to but are afraid because you don't want to hurt anyone. It's whatever you want it to be. " The red-head smiled, kissing the blonde's forehead.

"Ashton found this place and when he first brought me, I was confused too but after coming here so much it all makes sense. It's a happy place for some, a diary for others and an escape for many. But for me, it's a place I like to show my emotions. Sometimes, you don't want others to know how you feel or how they make you feel. So, I come here and express my feelings. We thought it was finally time to show you both." 

The elevator stopped, the colorful doors opening allowing the boys to step out into yet another colorful room. 

But this one different from the first, this room had pieces on the walls. 

It had broken things scattering the walls, glass, clothing articles, pictures, letters.

There's a door at the end of the room, it has a hammer and many objects.

It's called the break room, that's where people go to break the things that they place on the wall. If they don't already have something they brought.

This floor was the fourth, it was the last floor except for the rooftop which the boys thought they'd leave for another day; a special day.

"So, this floor is really for breaking things, the third is the letters, second is art pieces and the first as you both saw is for whatever you want it to be," Ashton explained.

"Where do you want to start?" Calum looked to the two boys and simply asked.

It's been a long time...

ugh

It's gotten hard to focus and actually like the words I'm writing.

Most of this fic, I really don't like but I still put it because it's better than nothing, but these last few chapters haven't been easy to even think of what to write. Even though I have it all outlined. 

Anyway. 

Here it is, I made myself sit down and write until I liked something. I guess it'll do? :cccc

But I hope everyone is staying safe and sane.
