since I haven't done these in FOREVER, just thought I'd do another one like old times (idek if people still do this)

Michael: You guys were cuddling at his house for what felt like hours. Michael always tells you he could stare at you for hours if he had to. "Michael, what're you doing?" giggling, you brush his hair out of his eyes. Smiling, he replies. "You, obviously..." he smirks, kissing your forehead. "I could admire you all day... you're just so beautiful..." he said, giving you a tender kiss. You sigh happily against his lips. "You're such a softie!" you laugh, kissing him again. "I love you."

Calum: "CALUM!" you screamed as he tickled you all over. "Please, stop! I'm begging you!" You couldn't stop screaming and laughing, feeling tears come out of your eyes. "Not good enough!" he tickled you even more. "I'll do anything, I swear!" he stopped as soon as you said that. After catching your breath again, you sat up, shoving him lightly while he laughed at you. "Promise me you'll always love me..." he looked up at you. "You said you'd do anything, so..." he looked down, playing with his fingers. "Cal," you placed your hand on his shoulder "I'll always love you, no matter what." you smiled wide at him. "Good!" now he was the one smiling widely. "Now, come here!" he said, pulling you onto his lap, kissing you.

Ashton: "What are doing next?" You asked Ashton curiously as you guys walked out of the restaurant that you two just had dinner. "Honestly, I have no clue..." he laughed sheepishly, wrapping an arm around you as you guys walked side by side. "Let's just walk around until we get bored!" he smiled down at you. After a few minutes, you could feel the cold wind breathe against your skin, causing you to shiver a little. "Take my sweatshirt," you noticed Ashton start to take off his sweatshirt, but you stopped him. "Ash, no, you'll be cold too." you shook your head. Rolling his eyes, he pulled it off without hesitation and handed it to you, leaving himself only in a white t-shirt. "Put it on, Y/N" he said, politely. You sighed, slipping it on, inhaling the smell of his cologne. "It looks so much better on you either way," he kissed your forehead. "Keep it."

Luke: "Look at that! It reminds me of you!" you pointed at the Pandora charm, that was a penguin. Luke smiled big at you, thinking about how cute it was that whenever you spot something with a penguin, you always say it reminds you of him. "Do you want me to buy it for you?" he asked you. You widened your eyes. "Luke, no. It's 80 bucks, too expensive." You shook your head. He opened his mouth to protest, but your phone started ringing. "I have a few charms, don't worry" you kissed his cheek. "It's my mom, let me get this, yeah?" you said as he nodded his head, stepping out of Pandora. A few minutes later, you spotted Luke coming out of Pandora, just as you hung up the phone. Noticing he had his hands behind his back, you crossed your arm, lifting an eyebrow up. "Luke Hemmings!" you laughed. He smiled wide, revealing a little gift bag. "I couldn't resist. Now you'll always remember me when I'm on tour." he pulled you into him, kissing you and handing you the little gift bag.

MICHAEL: You closed your laptop and checked your phone for the time, it was well after 3AM and your eyes were burning. You decided you should get some sleep because you had to work in the morning and you knew you’d be cranky if you didn’t get at least 4 hours of sleep. You made your way from your bedroom to the bathroom to wash your face and brush your teeth, you could hear shooting sounds coming from Michael’s room and you sighed. When you finished up in the bathroom you knocked on his door hard enough for him to hear you before you opened it. He paused his game and looked over at you, “What’s up?” He asked, rubbing at his eyes. “Shouldn’t you be heading to bed soon?” You asked, holding back a yawn as you did so. “I tried... it’s one of those nights.” Michael sighed, you knew that sometimes he couldn’t turn his brain off and it kept him up at night. You sighed and walked into his room more, closing the door behind you. You picked up a controller and sat down beside him. “Well, then let me keep you company.” You smiled at him. “Are you sure? You... don’t have to you know.” Michael said appreciatively, but you could tell he was concerned because he knew you had to work in the morning too. You nodded as the two of you continued playing video games, he switched the game to Mario Kart eventually, knowing that both of you get unnecessarily competitive when you play. You could feel your eyes start to droop every so often and your head nod, but it wasn’t until you heard Michael laughing that you realized you had fallen asleep. “You’re driving into a wall!” He laughed as you sat up straight, laughing with him as you tried to brush it off, “Nah, I was just giving you a head start!” The two of you laughed as you continued to play for a little while, but when you kept falling asleep Michael insisted you head to bed. “Nah, I’ll just shower to wake myself up more, if I went to bed now I’d have to get up in about 40 minutes anyway... just be ready because when I get out of the shower I’m going to actually kick your ass.” You both laughed as you went to your room to get some things for your shower. You had to admit the water didn’t really wake you up, it just made you more relaxed. When you got out you did your hair quickly and got dressed that way you wouldn’t have to do much later before work. You made your way to Michael’s room and opened the door, your froze at the sight of him passed out on his bed and you smiled, glad he had finally been able to fall asleep. You turned off his TV and took the controllers out of his bed before leaving his room. Sighing as you figured you’d get breakfast on your way to work you were a little bummed that you hadn’t gotten any sleep, but you knew that you could tease him later about not being able to pull a successful all nighter.

CALUM: Rubbing your eyes as you tried to keep them open you glanced over at Cal, he seemed to be doing just fine. You checked your phone for the time and it was already well past 4AM. You sighed as you got up from your spot on the couch and went to the kitchen, grabbing yourself another energy drink out of the fridge your cracked it open and took a big gulp. You were pretty sure that energy drinks actually giving you energy was a myth, this was your second one now and the first one didn’t do anything at all. You went back into the living room and sat back down beside Calum as you took another drink. “You know, technically I shouldn’t even let you drink those, it’s cheating if you think about it.” Calum said with a smug grin and a cocky raise of his right eyebrow. “I asked you when we first made this bet if I could drink energy drinks and you said it was fine! Besides... that’s like your fifth cup of coffee.” You rebutted, staring at him harshly as you took a nice long swig from your energy drink. Calum laughed and leaned back into the couch to get more comfortable, resting his head on the back of the couch to look up at the ceiling and think “Alright, alright. You can drink your energy drinks... but what should we do now? We’ve already watched every episode of ‘Stranger Things’ and I’m not playing another video games because you keep winning... so what should we do?” Calum asked as he lazily turned to face you.  For a second you thought maybe you caught a glimpse of him looking tired, but he blinked and went right back to looking wide awake. You sighed as you thought about what you two could do next, “What about some scary stories?” You suggested, knowing that when you would stay up reading them on your own you would always be afraid to go to sleep. Calum laughed for a second before he realized you were serious, “What, like campfire stories?” He asked with his brows raised now. “No, idiot. I mean like... urban legends and stuff like that. Come on, it’ll be good.” You said grabbing your phone and googling some urban legends. When you found a few good ones you two started to go back and forth reading them. You could tell that he was getting wigged out when he got up to turn on an extra lamp and you laughed. He smiled shyly before returning to his phone to continue reading them. After a few more stories you were both too uncomfortable to continue as you put your phones away. “...so,” Calum said quietly. “See... I told you.” You said softly as the two of you looked at each other in the dim lighting. A thick silence fell around the both of you. “Well, I still think I’m going to win.” Calum said loudly, trying to lighten the mood, “All you have to do is give me 20 bucks and you’re free to go to bed.” You looked at him wide eyed and got up from the couch, you walked over to your closet in the hall and grabbed your bag and your wallet. You pulled out 20 dollars and made your way back to Calum, “Here,” you said, thrusting the bill into his hands. “I thought this bet was more than 20 dollars, but if that’s all it is then I’m going to bed.” You laughed as you turned to make your way to your bedroom. You stopped when you heard Calum turn on the TV and your turned back around, “You know you can go to bed now too, right? I gave you the 20 dollars.” He looked over at you sheepishly and smiled, “Yeah... but, I think I’m just going to stay up. Not sure if I can go to sleep now anyway.” You laughed lightly as you made your way to your bedroom, but honestly, you weren’t sure if you were going to be able to actually get any sleep tonight either. 

“Please stay…” Luke whispered to you, dropping to his knees. His eyes were already bloodshot and puffy from the fight earlier but when he heard you walk out of your shared room and then saw a bag slung over your shoulder, he broke down even more. He couldn’t even comprehend that you, the love of his life, were about to walk out on him. “Y-you can’t leave me!” He shouts, letting a few tears fall out of his eyes. “I- we… We can get through this I promise you! It’s just one fight! I need you.” He ends the sentence in a whimper as your eyes water with his. “Please stay..” Is the last thing that’s said before he breaks into sobs that rock his body and break your heart with every last one. Completely forgetting about the fight, you drop your bag and rush to him. You fall onto the ground with him and sweep him up in your arms. “I’m not going anywhere.”
