It's currently 3 am in the morning and I'm crying because I'm such a bad fan of 5sos and just found out that there is a Ashton demo version of several songs out in the internet.
Please kill me. I just needed to make me high with thyme to stop crying.

Luv

Michael was a shy top and Luke a extroverted bottom aka a frat brat.

~~~~

The teacher smiled as she walked into class.
"Please be quite and sit down class. I have something to announce."

Surprisingly the all sat down and looked at the young woman.

"Senior year is over soon for y'all and since there are still some summer festival acts opened I made up the project, that you get together as a group of 4 and write songs, make a short movie or anything entertaining."

The classroom started to go wild again and talked all across the room to make sure they are in likeable groups.

"Shut your mouth. I made the groups. So be quite and pair up with your parents later."

Luke leaned his head over the lean to see the quiet kid behind him, the one with colourful hair.

When he heard his name his head snapped back up to listen carefully.

"Michael Clifford, Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin."

Luke was glad to be in a group with his best friend Ashton. But why exactly Michael. Why the shy kid.

He rolled his eyes and looked to Ashton who was talking to Calum.

After she read down the list they got up and walked over to the desk of Calum and Ashton.

Michael smiled shyly and said a simple hey while Luke took a seat on Ashton's lap and wiggled his butt a little for provocation.

Ashton rolled his eyes and than smiled at Michael.

“So, what are we going to do?“ Calum asked and looked around.

“I don't know...how ab-“

“We should write a song.“ Luke cutted Michael off without even realising that.

“Manners.“ Ashton said mad and pinched him in the sides.

“Why, what did I do wrong now?!“ Luke yelled and flinched away.

Ashton rolled his eyes. “Stop yelling and you cut off Micheal. Not nice.“

Luke copied his move with the eyes and earned another annoyed look from the older boy.

Calum leans over and said quietly “I'm sorry Michael. You normally haven't happened to bother with this blond little brat and that's probably the reason.“

Michael shrugged his shoulders and smiled a little. “He's not that bad. I like him.“

Calum laughted and shook his head. “I give you 5 minutes alone with him to change that mindset.“

Luke once again cut off Michael but this time smiling from winning an argument with Ashton. “Well to repeat myself...we should write a song. Did someone ever wrote one? Cause I did.“

“Same.“ Michael said and crossed his arms.

Lukes view about Michael changed a bit in the better side. “Cool...which genre?“

Calum and Ashton made the same face as their eyes scanned up and down the punk boy. “I think rap.“

Michael laughted about Ashtons joke and nodded. “Yes. Correct. I'm a total rap fan covered up as a hardcore punk.“

Luke looked like a little mad puppy but before he could go off the bell rang.

“Should we meet at my place?“ Michael asked. “My parents shouldn't be home and we have quite enough space.“

The other three agreed and after the school walked to Michaels house.

To be honest Luke's jaw dropped as he saw in which front yard they stood.

Quiet enough space was meant to be a giant ass house with a flower competition in the front of it.

“Thats...?“

“Unfortunately yes. Most of my middle school friends liked me because of my parents cash. So that's...why I don't bother about friends in high school.“ he said and opened up the door with his fingerprint.

“I think you're cool.“ Calum said and smiled at the punk.

“Thank you.“ Michael held the door open and showed them where they were able to take off their shoes.

He guided them in the kitchen and after all of them had something to drink they sat down at the table with college blocks.

“So, what are we gonna sing?“ Luke asked and felt bad for liking Michael now a bit more.

“And who will sing?“ Ashton asked as well.

“Don't know. How about all of us get a solo? And who can play a instrument?“

Calum raised his hand. “I mainly play bass.“

“Drumms.“ Ashton added and smiled at Luke.

“Guitar. What's with you?“

Michael smiled as well. “Guitar. But I bet better than you.“

“Dare?“ the blond one held out a hand.“

“Lets find out.“ Michael said and got up as well as Calum and Ashton.

The punk walked ahead out of the kitchen up the stairs to his room.

In that several guitars hang at the wall. “No argument but the black one with the cross is mine.“

“Fine. I take the golden one.“ Luke said and carefully took the guitar off the hooks. “She's pretty.“

“But the last female you call like that.“ Ashton laughted from Michaels bed and Calum agreed with a cheeky smile.

Luke flipped them of and looked at Michael who hung his black baby around his shoulders and neck. “What should we play?“

“Random riff's?“

Both agreed and Luke took the opportunity. “I had this idea for a while for a song, can I start?“

“Go one. I want to see how high leveled I have to play.“

“Not that high.“ Ashton dissed Luke again and laughted hard.

Luke didn't answered but started to play his solo.

Michael listened carefully and took the last few notes from Luke to start his own solo on the guitar neck and switched multiple times between the base and the neck.

Luke picked up Michaels last notes and with that it was officially a riff off.

Michael took Luke's notes again and made it so complicated at the end so Luke missed the flawless translation.

“Shit.“

“I think... Michael is the winner.“ Calum said.

“Totally agree.“

“Sadly me too.“ Luke said smiling and hung the guitar back on the hook.

“I feel blessed.“ Michael smiled and was really surprised when Luke hugged him shortly.

“Lets go back downstairs.“ he said when Luke broke away and his guitar was back and secure on the hooks.

All agreed and walked down.

Suddenly Ashton took his pen and started to write on his notebook.

Luke did too and Michael and Calum sat there like unnecessary.

“Do you think, they realise that we're gone?“ Michael whispered.

“Nope. Where should we go?“ Calum answered in the same tone.

“Living room?“

They got up and walked out of the room into the other one.

Michael turned on the TV and after that Netflix to watch Pokémon.

It took Luke and Ashton 3 hours to come out of the Kitchen, both smiling with two sheets of paper in their hands.

“We wrote a song together.“

“Show us.“ Calum said and press pause.

Ashton sat next to Calum and Luke made himself comfortable on Michaels lap.

To everyone's amazement.

Both of the not writers read the song and where genuinely suprised.

“This is good.“

Luke smiled and agreed with the compliment.

Tow weeks later Michael layed shirtless on a lounger at the pool in his backyard when he got a video call fron Luke.

“Hey, what's up.“

“Not much. Was just bored and my brothers are not doing good in being an entertainment for me.“Luke said smiling.

Michael switched from his back to his stomach. “So now it's my job or what?“

“I wouldn't call it like you being my entertainment but yes, it's your job.“

“So what do you want me to do?“ Michael asked and shook his head all smiling.

“Didn't thought about that. But how about getting to know each other? Asking questions and so on?“

Michael was all over because of likes cuteness and agreed.

“Okayyy, do you have siblings?“ Luke asked.

“Nope. I'm an only child. And you have your two brothers... favourite colour?“

“Blue. What's with you?“

“Green.“

Luke smiled into the camera. “Your eyes are Green.

“And yours are b-“

“MICHAEL!“ a female voice yelled from the doorframe.

“What mom?“ he yelled back through the garden.

“Please go to the store and get me pineapple, grapes and vodka.“

Michael looked as suprised into the camera as Luke did.
“Sure mom!“ he yelled back looked at Luke. “I'm taking you with me.“

Luke laughted which got stuck in his throat when he saw how Michael pulled his shirt back on.

After that Michael picked his phone, car keys and wallet up and walked to his car, place Luke in the phone holder and smiled at him. “Good to go... To buy pineapple, grapes and vodka?“

Luke agreed laughing and watched Michael jamming our to different songs while driving to the store.

They made each other laugh at their "undercover mission when Michael placed the bottle of vodka in the shopping venture.

“What else should I get?“ he asked, looking at Luke.

“Snacks?“ he said askingly and smiled as well.

Michael agreed and got potato chips in several flavours out of the shelf.

“Your favourite?“ he asked the blond boy.

“Red pepper. But if necessary I eat salt and vinegar as well, what's yours?“

“Nacho Cheese. Or red pepper as well.“ he answered and placed some Gummi Bears in the venture.

Michael walked up to the check out point and  talked a little with the cashier.

She smiled at him and tucked her hair behind her ears.

The punk smiled back but could have died in laught because she clearly tried to flirt with him, the gayness in person.

He payed and left the store with his groceries.

The cashier didn't even checked his ID for being 18 to buy the alcohol.

“Dont like her.“ Luke suddenly said when Michael sat in his car again.

“Too. But why would I care about that?“

Luke shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

~~~~

Michael nervously bit his lower lip and tried to not focus on the thing they had to do any seconds, while they where walking up the stage.

His hands where shaking while he had a grip on the neck of his guitar.

Luke next to him gently rubbed over his back and then walked to his Mikrophon.

They counted on the song and then started to play.

It was over ways too soon but Michael still felt a heavy rock being taken off his shoulders.

The entire audition was quite before freaking out that all of them heard a high pitched noise in their ear.

They turned to each other, Ashton came to the front from his drum kit and hugged each other before bowing together.

Michael was extra happy because it took him 4 years of high school to get to this point of recognition.

Luke next to him smiled like winning the one million dollar price while secretly holding Michaels hand in a thigh grip.

They left the stage and walked back to get a little cool, because it got hot playing with whole physical effort.
