calum
you were playing video games with your friend michael at his house when the doorbell rang. he paused the game and you groaned, flopping across the couch on your back. you heard the door open and doorsteps enter the house. "calum you made it!" michael cheered. your eyes shot open and you sprung up off the couch. "so what are we gonna do, just play—" calum said before he saw you on the couch. his face immediately flushed and he turned to michael. "what is she doing here?" he whispered. you shifted uncomfortably in your seat. "what? she's playing with us." he replied. "i thought it was just you and i." calum said sadly. "so what if she's here?" michael asked. "you know, okay. you know. stop being an idiot. i'm going." calum said. "no!" michael screamed, pushing him towards you. you've been friends with michael for a while, and get along well with luke and ashton, but it's calum you can't seem to connect with. from the second you met, you two haven't been able to hold a conversation and he seemed to avoid you the best he could. so when he was pushed on top of you by michael, he seemed a little more than flustered. "y/n, calum likes you, okay?" michael shouted. calum immediately launched himself off of you and ran at michael. he held both of calum's wrists over his head and shouted over to you. "he likes you very much and would love to take you to see a movie tonight. he'll pick you up at 7. isn't that right, calum?" he asked. calum turned around to face you with his face redder than ever. "um, yes." he said as he turned around and walked out of the house in a rush. you sat there shocked still in the same position. michael stood there, smirking at you. "I didn't even get to accept it or not!" you said. "do you?" "yes." you smiled.

luke
you've been crushing on luke for forever, but you're pretty sure he only likes you as a friend. he's never showed any interest in you, but come to think of it, you haven't either. "y/n?" you turned to see him with an amused look on his face. "do you?" he asked. "hmm?" you questioned. he chuckled, "do you want a milkshake?" he asked. "sure." you smiled. he left his living room, leaving his phone on the coffee table. moments later he got a message and you couldn't help but have a look. 'Dude you're so far into the pits of friendzonedom you'll never climb your way out' ashton sent him. seconds later there was another, 'but you don't see the way y/n looks at you when you turn your back. just say you like her and I promise she'll say it back.' this was all you needed to gain the courage to stand up with his phone and walk into the kitchen. he saw you and smiled. "so do you want strawberry or—" he said before he noticed you kept walking closer and closer. "i like you too." you said and his lips parted slightly. you stood on your toes and kissed him lightly on the lips, turning him into a blushing, stuttering mess. "w-what do you— I mean I li— but h-how?" you held up his phone and he read the texts. he immediately hid his face in his hands. "well I don't know whether to laugh or cry." he joked. "maybe you can kiss me back." you said. he laughed and cupped your face in his hands. "maybe i can."

ashton
you were lying in bed when you received a video call from ashton. you accepted and a bright room came into view. it was 3am for you but seemed to be midday for him. "hey there!" he said when he saw your face. "hey ashton," you replied sleepily. he frowned. "what time is it?" he asked. "uhm, 3am," you smiles sheepishly. he gasped and chuckled slightly. "shouldn't you—" he started before you heard a voice in the background. "ashton?" you heard michael call. he groaned. "ill be right back." he sighed and left his phone face down on the couch. you waited there a few minutes, barely able to keep your eyes open before you heard footsteps nearing the phone. "so yeah, I think it's about time he tells her he likes her." you heard calum say. "wait, he likes her?" asked luke. you turned up the volume on the phone. "you're kidding right?" he asked. "I thought they were best friends!" luke laughed. "they are, but ashton told me he likes her and well, it's pretty obvious." calum mumbled that last part. you heard ashton groan as he entered the room. "I literally just spent 5 minutes cleaning fanta off the floor with michael." he said and calum and luke laughed. "so why haven't you told her yet?" you could hear the smirk in luke's voice. there was a pause. "what?" ashton asked. "why haven't you told y/n you like her?!" calum practically shouted. there was a deafening silence, then the sound of calum being punched and slapped repeatedly. "she's on the phone you moron," ashton whisper-shouted. you then heard a collective gasp from luke and calum. a second later luke completely loses it and you can't help but giggle yourself. footsteps rushed toward the phone and you saw ashton's blushing face. "please tell me you heard nothing," he hoped, biting his lip. you stopped laughing and bit yours too. "I like you too, ashton." his eyes widened and he smiled. "awww!" you heard luke and calum in the background. "well then i'll—" ashton started before you again hear a voice from another room. "ashton, i spilt more fanta."

michael
you recently told your close friend luke that you have a crush on his friend michael. you met him along with calum and ashton at a pool party not long ago and you clicked with him right away. now you were with the guys sitting on luke's couch. by the knowing looks that luke, calum and ashton were giving each other, you could tell he told them and they had something planned. they were failing miserably at trying to natural and you told them so by the numerous 'what are you doing' looks you gave. michael was engrossed in the tv and you began scrolling through twitter when the three boys suddenly left the room, leaving you and michael alone. not 20 seconds later, calum and ashton returned with pink scented candles, placing them on the table. luke turned off the tv, forcing michael out of his daze. calum and ashton dimmed the lights while romantic music started playing. "ummm..." michael said while the other boys just giggled. when he turned to you with his eyebrows raised, you simply shrugged your shoulders. when he went to get up, ashton immediately stopped him. "tell her, you idiot." michael glared at him and shook his head. "tell her what?" he asked innocently. "y/n, michael has a crush on you!" luke screamed. "you did not just—" michael started before he was pushed back down onto the couch with popcorn shoved into his arms. "now you two can snuggle and watch the notebook." luke said, pressing play on the remote. the boys ran upstairs, leaving you and michael alone again. after a minute of silence, you looked at him. he turned to you with his eyebrows raised, "snuggle?" he asked, slowly lifting his arm. "okay." you smiled.
