#calum request

Requested: Long distance with Cal would be heartbreaking man

Dating Calum was one of the best things that had ever happened to you. You two shared so much love and laughs, even the other boys could see it. You two had met while he was on tour, what had turned into a one night fling, turned into a few Instagram dms, and then him flying you out to LA for the best week of your life. Soon, a beautiful relationship had blossomed.

You got it! I really liked the way this turned out :)

hey cal, can I come over?

You type the text and press send, ignoring that it’s almost 3am. He’s awake, you know he is, that’s why you’re already standing by your door with pajamas and house slippers on.

yea, door is unlocked.

Calum is used to this. One of the reasons you two got along so well is because you were both night owls and had random bouts of insomnia. Except this wasn't random. Calum knew why you were coming over. A douche bag broke your heart, and you're still trying to get over it. 

Except Calum always hoped the reason would be different. That maybe this time, you’d realize that guy wasn’t worth all the tears and pain. So far, Calum’s hopes had been let down.

Tonight wasn’t any different. You still show up on his doorstep in your Disney pajama pants and a big shirt that drops to your knees. Lines are running down your cheeks that immediately give away that you cried the whole way over here. 

“Come on, I already moved all of the blankets to the couch.” Calum reaches both arms out, and you willingly fall into them. 

Cal has one of those couches that is huge and leather, but it’s seen many years, so it’s also soft. The sectional has a wide enough end piece that the two of you settle in side-by-side comfortably. It’s always been your favorite spot in his house. 

You start to sniffle as you pull the blankets around you. “God, I’m so sick of spending my time crying. When will this all be over?” 

This is where Calum has always bitten his tongue. He’s always consoled you and said what you wanted to hear, and not what you needed to hear. Tonight, he was done with that. Calum wasn’t going to sugar coat anything, and he already knew you weren’t going to like it.

“It stops when you make it stop. When you choose to stop wasting your time crying over someone who treated you like shit.” 

To say your jaw dropped was an understatement. Calum usually never said much. He always let you cry and never made you feel stupid about it the next morning. You move away from him a little bit as if he physically hit you with his words.

“What? I cared about him. I loved him, Calum. That’s not going to go away easily. You’ve been there before with-”

“You can’t bring her into this. Our relationship was very different than yours and his. She loved me back, she cared for me as much as I did her. That’s not what your relationship was based on.” Calum cuts you off, his tone is angry. You knew it was too far to bring up his ex-girlfriend.

“Stop that. You don’t know what you’re talking about,” but he does. Calum is right. You’re not going to admit it, though. “He loved me. What we had was good.” You cry. You’re sitting up now, and so is he. There’s a fire in both of your eyes.

“All he ever did was use you. Why can’t you see that?” He yells. “It’s so frustrating, watching you do this to yourself. Night after night. I know it’s exhausting.” 

The room falls silent for a few moments. Both of you looking only at each other. 

“You’re right, Calum. It is exhausting. I know that the way he treated me was terrible, but it’s all I’ve ever known. If I don’t hold on to that, what if there’s nothing else for me? What if he was the best I could get?” Your voice is quiet now, barely above a whisper. The tears are freely falling down your cheeks and into your lap, where your eyes are now focused.

Calum is quiet too. He’s wracking his brain, trying to think of what he could say. His mother had always advised him against confessing his feelings to someone with a broken heart. It was confusing for everyone and didn’t always lead to the preferred conclusion. Except when it did. It was very rare, but Calum wanted to take his chance with you.

“He’s not. Maybe I’m not either, but I know I could do better than him. All I’m asking for here is a chance. Let go of him.” Cal sneaks one his hands into yours. You watch your hand fold itself into his like it’s not yours, but it feels so natural. 

Finally, you look up at him. His brown eyes are as big as the moon, and his lips form a perfect pout. For months, you’ve come to Calum not knowing exactly what for, just that he’d make you feel like it would be okay eventually. 

This wasn’t what you thought you’d been coming here for, but now you know that it is. This is what you two were meant for. Despite the tears, a smile spreads across your face. 

“You know I’ve never been able to say no to you.” You joke. Calum grins.

He leans in, pressing his hands against your thighs to keep himself balanced. Your lips meet, and suddenly, it feels like your heart has been healed.

“You’re wearing that” Calum asked, giving you a look of judgment.

“Yeah and you’re point is” you sass back.

“I mean it’s fine if you’re trying to get every guy to look at you like you’re a piece of meat or something” he scoffs. You respond with an eye roll and a look of annoyance towards Calum. You two had a weird relationship with one another. One day you would be best friends goofing off and making one another laugh, and the next day you were fighting about the littlest of things. All the other guys insist that you two fight because you care for one another, but you just don’t see it.  

Once you all arrive at the party, the loud music instantly fills your ears. Tonight you were determined to have fun, and you weren’t going to let what Calum said to you earlier get to you. If guys were going to look at you in any way, it was going to be because you want them to.

The party was crowded and you notice only a few people you recognized. Still feeling a bit annoyed from earlier, you decide to go and get a drink to help loosen you up a bit. Once at the bar, you place your drink order, and patiently wait for the bartender to get it for you.

“Hey, I don’t think I’ve seen you here before” a smooth voice said. The man was unfamiliar, but was very attractive, so a little small talk wouldn’t hurt.

“Yeah, it’s my first time here, I just came with some friends tonight” you respond flirtatiously.

“The name is Matt, and what kind of a name does a beautiful girl like you have?”

“It’s (Y/N)” you say tucking a stray piece of hair behind your head.

“So (y/n), where are your friends? Or more specifically, is one of them your boyfriend” he asks as he approaches closer to you.

“No, no boyfriend. I’m completely unattached” you say giving a small smile. A smile on his face appears, as he realizes this is his chance to make a move. For the next hour, you and Matt were completely focused on one another. Each of you briefly explained your past dating life, hobbies, and just other random stuff to talk about. With the music playing so loudly, both of you were only inches away from one another, the heat of his breath constantly hitting your neck.

“Hey do you maybe want to get out of here so we could some somewhere to ta-“

“Hey (y/n) can I see you for a second” Calum says as grabs you by the arm and pulls you away from Matt.

“What the hell Calum, he was cute” you protest.

“Yeah and he wanted more than just to talk” he quickly responds.

“And why do you care so much all of a sudden?” you snap back.

Calum knew that no words would work to ease your annoyance. So instead he pulled his body closer to yours, leaving nearly no space between your bodies. He brought his lips to yours and moved his hand to your lower back. Although your mind was running at a thousand miles a minute, your body couldn’t pull away. It’s as if you became addicted to Calum’s kiss, and don’t want to stop for a second.

“No boyfriend huh” you hear Matt say in a pissed off tone. He walks away from the two of you, but not before giving you and Calum each a hard glare. Once he’s gone you and Calum look at each other for a moment a burst into laughter.

“I hate you” you say through laughter while playfully pushing Calum.

“Oh please you know you love me” he jokes back. “Either way, I had to show him that you’re mine and he can’t have you.”

“And what makes you think that I’m yours” you say giving a devilish grin.

“If I need to convince you so more, I gladly will” he says as he places both of his hands on your waist. He pulls you in for another kiss, only to pull away just as soon as you start to enjoy it. As his lips leave yours you let out a small sigh.

“I’m convinced” you say with a smile.

“Good, because there is way more where that came from. I wish you could understand the way you make me feel. It’s as though every time I’m around you, my heart beats at a thousand miles a minute. When I saw you earlier all I wanted to do was tell you how I feel, but instead I came off as an ass, and I’m sorry. But why don’t you say we get outta here and just hang out back at my apartment?”

You didn’t want to worry Calum anymore than you had to. With how stressful his album launch was becoming, you decided the best thing for the two of you would be to bottle up your emotions.

After a week, Calum catches onto it. Your nightly conversations have turned dull, you no longer tell him about your days at work or school, how lunch with your friends went, if there was any drama going on in your life. Everything revolved around him now.

Another week and you were still bottling up your emotions. Most of your time was spent in bed, or on the couch, cuddling Duke or scrolling through your phone. The silence in the house disturbed Calum and he was starting to get mad that you weren’t sharing things with him anymore.

“Ok, Y/N, what gives?!” He slams his hand on the counter, causing you to jump. “Why’re you suddenly so quiet? You barely talk to me anymore! I don’t even get to cuddle you when we go to bed. It’s like we’ve turned into some old married couple that wants nothing to do with each other!”

His sudden outburst shocks you. Tears well up in your eyes. “I-i’m sorry.”

“Don’t pull the crying crap now,” Calum rolls his eyes. “So what is it? Are you seeing someone else?”

“No!” You jump to your feet. “I-i just thought that since you’re probably stressed from the album-“ You sniffle and wipe your eyes. “That you wouldn’t want to listen to my problems too. I’d just add to your stress.” Tears stain the front of the tshirt you’re wearing.

Calum can feel his heart clench. “Oh baby, no. You don’t add to my stress at all.” He walks around the counter and stands in front of you. “Can I hold you?”

You nod your head and Calum pulls you into his arms. “I love you so much. I’m sorry for freaking out, I didn’t realize you thought that way.”

“It’s okay. I’m sorry if I get tears on you.” You let out a weak laugh.

im just gonna apologize that it took so long omg

lets just say that y’all were getting real cozy the entire night, you went everywhere with him, and he went everywhere with you. y’all are talking about anything and everything, while drinking a little too much but in the words of luke hemmings “we’re having fun”. the nights winding down, and you both see that its already 3 in the morning so you both decide to call it a night but not before exchanging numbers, you’re going to leave but first you have to say bye to the mutual friend because it’s only customary.

“wait how much did y’all have to drink?” your friend asks narrowing their eyes at the both of you. you both just turn to each other and giggle, because damn did you not realize just how much you drank. “that’s it, you’re both staying here, hand over the keys.”

you both hand them over begrudgingly, because your bed sounds so good. right now.

“i’ll take the couch, you can take the guest bedroom.” calum tells you, when you’ve both left your friend.

“ooo a gentleman.” to which he just chuckles, and turns on his heels to make his way there.

“goodnight y/n.” and with that you’re making your way to the guest room, and grabbing some clothes from the host, which lo and behold is just a big t-shirt (oof the cliche)

you try to get comfortable in bed, but realize you’re thirsty and water would really help the hangover you know you’re going to have in the morning. so you tip toe out of the room and down to the kitchen, which has an island that looks out on the living room, and there in all his shirtless glory is calum just watching tv, yet he can’t see you just yet.

you make some noise with the cupboards and the sink, which alert him and he walks over, his jeans are unbelted and sitting pretty low on his hips, and you don’t realize you’re staring until the water is spilling over your glass. you curse under your breath, and look up him with his eyebrow cocked. oh you definitely  know he caught you staring. you bring up the water to take a sip and hide the blush beginning to form on your cheeks, and mumble a goodnight but not before catching him throwing a wink at you and a quick

“sleep tight”

o yes fuck up my morning

but like y’all spend the entire dinner just stealing glances at each other and not giving two shits if you get caught by the other, because you both basically just admitted your feelings to each other. all the boys came with their gfs and you came with cal, so at the end of the night when everyone is saying goodbye and walking back to their cars, you walk back with cal trailing just a little bit behind you. and as you go to round his car, you feel him pull you back into his chest and next thing you know you”r kissing him, and you may have imagined it 5 million times before but it’s better than you could EVER imagine. and as you pull apart he whispers “i love you too.” and you just have the biggest shit eating grin because the boy you love, loves you back.

so you were best friends with all the guys, but somehow you were always the closest to calum. y’all always gravitated towards each other, and while you were barely touchy with other people that’s just how your friendship was. someone’s hand was always wrapped around the others waist, and forehead kisses were always in extra supply. and that worked for both of you, until one drunken night where you kissed and decided to see where that could go. fast forward three months, and you were happily dating but the guys didn’t know yet. it wasn’t that you guys were trying to hide it there was just never a time to bring it up, and since neither of you were big on PDA, and they knew the type of friendship you had so they didn’t think anything of it.

so there you were, making out on calum’s couch waiting for the rest of them to show up for your weekly movie night, and maybe the time had gotten the best of you because

“What the fuck?” You both turned to look at the boys standing there with shocked yet slightly amused looks on their face. Both of your faces mirrored each other, widen eyes and swollen lips. Scrambling out from under him you moved to sit next to him on the couch.

“Uhm, since when is this a thing?” Michael asked moving his hand between the two of you.

“Since like three months.” Calum replied sheepishly, while rubbing the back of his neck.

“You owe me thirty bucks Ash.” Luke exclaimed, while walking to the kitchen to set down the take out.

“You guys fucking bet that we would get together?” Now it was your turn to ask the questions.

“Yeah, I said y’all were already together, Ash said another two months, and Michael was indifferent. Hence I am now thirty bucks richer.” Luke said while putting out the plates for the food.

“It was about fucking time, I couldn’t take y’all undressing each other in public anymore.” Ash told the group while bringing over the food, earning a chorus of laughter from the group. You looked over at Calum who was already beaming at you, and you just waltzed over to him placing a quick peck on his lips.

“Yeah not weird whatsoever.” Michael chuckled and just like that the awkwardness that never really came, had gone, and you settled into your old habits and everything was okay since you had your best mates and boyfriend all together.
