Third person

Michael walked into the cosy studio on a Friday morning, surprisingly upbeat and ready for the day. He couldn't really explain it; it was just...he couldn't wait to see the others again. Lockdown has really messed with him, making him miss his brothers even more than usual. He was so excited. Seeing that he was the first one there, Michael tried to get rid or the fluttery feeling in his stomach- he had no idea why he was nervous, but he wanted it to go away because it was making him bounce his leg in anticipation. Minutes passed...the others still didn't arrive. It was at least fifteen minutes before he heard the door open. Keeping his elbows on his knees as he remained sat down, Mikey looked up and swallowed: it was Luke. He stood up and looked at him.

''Hey, man.'' Luke said, smiling widely as he practically ran up to his friend and pulled him into a hug. ''Fuck, I missed you, how have you been?''

''Good, actually. I mean, lockdown kinda sucked...I missed you guys a lot and you know that I can't handle it when my thoughts go everywhere.'' Michael answered.

''Aw, don't worry.'' Pulling him into another hug, Luke sat down with him and cuddled him. They waited for the others to arrive; Luke would be lying if he said that he didn't miss Michael and the others. He was so excited when they were told that they could go back to the studio again. After a couple of minutes, Cal and Ashton walked in together.

''Hey!'' Michael smiled as he stood up with Luke and greeted Cashton happily.

''Hi, guys.'' Calum smiled shyly. ''It feels good to be back, I've missed all of this. How are the girls?''

''Kaykay and I are okay at the moment. Especially with Superbloom being a success...well, I think at least.''

''Oh yeah! Congrats on that, man.'' Luke smiled. Patting Ash on the back, Michael smirked playfully at Calum before walking over to his guitar.

''Well, let's get started.'' He said, strumming a few chords.

''Okay.'' Ashton went over to the drums excitedly. All four of them literally couldn't wait to perform again as a group; they all missed it so, so much. Trying to forget all of the shit that has happened in 2020, Michael fought to think about all the good things instead of the bad.

''Guys?''

''Yeah, Mikey?''

''Could we play San Francisco? Y'know...as a throwback? I really miss that song.''

''Good idea!'' Bouncing on the balls of his feet excitedly, Luke picked up his guitar and stood behind the mic after turning it on. ''Okay, guys, ready?''

''Ready.'' Ash giggled, followed by the other two as well. So, they started playing...

I can still taste you like it was yesterday
Making plans to rule the world, you were more than I deserved
I see you running in the sand, long hair blowing in the wind
Never thought that it would end

As Calum sang the first verse and pre chorus, Michael closed his eyes and tilted his face up...fuck, he missed this so much. Just playing with the boys, their music, their life; he couldn't put it into words how glad he was that they were back, together where they should be. Not that he was ungrateful for his life at home! He absolutely adored Crystal and everything that they shared, but he couldn't resist being with his brothers.

Leaves fall from the tallest trees
Even mountains crumble into the sea
Holding on to memories
And I can't let go

And then, he started singing. And Mikey could recall a time that he sounded more perfect.

I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right
Yeah I wanna get back to San Francisco, in the fire light
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right

Ashton's drumming, Luke's voice, Calum's bass...all of it was so perfect. Running a hand through his hair, Michael listened to Luke sing as he tried to think of all the reasons why he loved these three idiots so much. He was aware of the fact that there was a huge smile on his face and that his cheeks were kind of pink. But he was glad; he liked that he was happy.

Remember that weekend when we got out of town?
Drove into infinity, I held you 'til you fell asleep
Without you, the smell of your perfume
Reminds me of when we were free, I swear that it's still haunting me

Leaves fall from the tallest trees
Even mountains crumble into the sea
Holding on to memories
And I can't let go

I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right
Yeah I wanna get back to San Francisco, in the fire light
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right

We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all
We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all
I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right

As soon as he sang the last two lines of the bridge, Michael dropped out and stepped away from his mic. His mouth was slightly open, his eyes open and twinkling. Emotion radiated off him as Ashton, Luke and Cal finished the song...all he could do was listen and stare down at his guitar.

I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right
Yeah wanna get back to San Francisco, in the fire light
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right

We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all
We don't gotta say anything, don't gotta say anything
Don't say a word at all, don't say a word at all

He jerked out of his trance, feeling a hand on his shoulder: Calum. Looking up at him, Michael tried to explain without words how grateful he was for having him in his life, but he could only open his mouth.

''You alright, mate?'' Cal asked quietly, smiling softly. He knew what Michael was thinking, and he was feeling the same way. Smiling as the other two came over, Mikey wrapped his arms around all three of them and buried his face in Calum's shoulder; he was facing him while Luke and Ash joined the hug from the sides. Michael didn't even have to explain. They could all feel it, it was all prefect; and they just hoped that nothing would ever ruin that...
