"Which member of the band would you like to date and why ?" the journalist asked, looking for our reactions, especially mine.

Apparently, Mikey and I are together ! Or at least, that's what the fans and medias think. Muke, that's how they call us. I smirked because I love Michael so much, but not that way.

"Luke ?" Ashton looked at me, waiting for a reply.

"Calum." I answered, almost automatically. He is my "safe" option.

"You are always picking Cal !" he whimpered.

"Because my kiwi side is irresistible Irwin." Calum said, winking at me.

I nodded and payed my attention to the other's answers.

"Lukey" Michael replied, "Because he's hot !"

Yeah, we love to compliment each other, it's a part of our friendship that will always be intact. And this is why everybody think we're dating.

"Michael, because of his colorful sexy hair." Calum chuckled, "And our ship name is cool. Malum is a cool name, isn't it ? But I love Cake too. Argh, boy struggle." We all laughed because Calum can be so funny and stupid sometimes.

"Luke Hemmings" Ashton mumbled. It was barely audible but I heard him, so did the journalist.

"And why ?" Pete (I think it was his name) asked curiously.

"I dunno. I just like him, for his change of mood for example. One time he'll be lovely and a minute later he'll be cocky and then dorky." He made a pause, as if he was thinking if he can say it or not and continued. "And he's handsome of course."

I shifted a bit in my seat between Calum and Michael, I was blushing and trying to hide it.

"Well, I can see that you guys are really nice with each others." He cleared his throat, not good. "So, let's talk seriously boys. Do you have any girlfriends...or boyfriends I don't know.' I felt his gaze on me, again.

"Veronica and I are still together. And she's thinking about moving in with me. So everything's okay." He forgot to mention that this conversation isn't over because I am not ok with it. I don't want to move out and live alone.

"This is great ! I'm happy for you Michael, and I'm sure your fans are too." he smiled and then turned to me. Fuck, I knew it. I don't want to talk about that because Connor is not really my boyfriend and I don't feel comfortable about the whole Ashton thing.

"Hum...I'm seeing someone but nothing serious." I heard Michael scoffing. Smooth.

"Okay, I hope it will last longer than the previous ones." Pete laughed loudly and I just wanted to punch him right across the face. But I didn't.

"Calum and I are still single and we're actually fine" Ashton said with an irritated voice. He doesn't appreciate when journalists are asking about our love life. I don't know if it's because Mary dumped him six months ago or because he doesn't want to date people anymore, but this type of subjects make him grumpy.

The journalist nodded and stood up. "Thanks guys for your time and your answers." He shook our hand. "Hope I will see you soon. Bye."

"Bye." we all said in unison with a smile and we left.

I was sitting on the couch, or at first I was but then Michael get bored of playing Fifa and laid on me, texting his girlfriend while I was drinking a beer.
