Tom ♥ Zawe

❤️ Tom and Zawe have a dynamic and harmonious connection that blends emotional support, practical collaboration, and intellectual exploration. Their Sun-Moon trine suggests a natural balance where they can lead and follow comfortably, fostering deep empathy and open communication. Together, they inspire each other creatively and help each other grow, whether through shared interests in philosophy, spirituality, or the arts. Their interactions spark a blend of passion and practicality, making them a powerful team in both personal and professional settings. With a solid foundation of respect and understanding, they navigate challenges well, encouraging each other to pursue their individual goals while enjoying a fun, stimulating friendship that could easily evolve into something more romantic.

❤️ Their connection feels instantly trustworthy and uplifting, with Tom encouraging Zawe to broaden her horizons while she helps him feel more confident. However, there's also a bit of a parent-child vibe, where Tom might take on a guiding role, which Zawe could find restrictive at times. This dynamic pushes both of them to grow, with lessons about responsibility and maturity at play. They share a lot of cultural and emotional influences, creating a deep bond that feels familiar, almost like family. Yet, they need to be mindful of their individual identities and may benefit from some time apart to grow independently.

💔 While there's a strong initial attraction and excitement, their dynamic is often marked by clashes of wills and stubbornness, especially in their sexual connection and daily interactions. They have a tendency to push each other’s buttons, leading to misunderstandings and disagreements, particularly around their values and approaches to life. Tom might see Zawe as overly serious, while she views him as a bit reckless, creating friction that forces them to reassess their perspectives. Despite the drama, there's a potential for growth if they can balance their different styles and learn from each other. Their conversations can spark creative ideas, but they need to be careful not to let their strong opinions derail their connection.

💔 Their relationship is a complex mix of attraction and frustration, with both of them drawn to each other but often feeling a disconnect. They might idealise one another initially, but this can lead to dissatisfaction as they confront the reality of their differences. Their communication styles clash, causing frequent arguments, but these can help sharpen their perspectives if they approach them constructively. While there's a lot of potential for growth, there's also a tendency for illusion; Tom might be searching for his ideal partner while Zawe yearns for emotional security, leading to unmet expectations. Despite the challenges, their contrasting energies create an intriguing dynamic that keeps things lively, but they need to dig deeper into their feelings and understand each other better to truly connect.

-> The Aquarius man and Leo woman make the perfect team; he’s got all the quirky ideas for saving the world, and she’s ready to lead the charge while wearing a crown and demanding a parade. When the Aquarius man is faced with a sad Leo woman, he’ll probably whip out his “cheer up” playlist, suggest a spontaneous adventure, and then take a moment to ponder if they should adopt a pet duck to add to the fun.

Professor Vargas: Take off that stupid costume!

MC: I can fly in it without any problem—

Professor Vargas: TAKE IT OFF!!!

Jamil: Sir, they are cursed—

Professor Vargas: You look weak in that costume! And I can't stand that!

MC: ...

Professor Vargas: I wouldn't mind if you're wearing a warrior's armor, but that! You look like a damn overcooked marshmallow!

Ace: Hey, sir! What's wrong with that?

Professor Vargas: Everything!

MC: ...

MC: I understand. *walks a few distance away from them and starts taking it off*

Professor Vargas: See? You look normal that way!

Jamil: Sir, I think I need to remind you that the school won't be liable if you get hurt.

Professor Vargas: Huh? What are you sayin—

MC: *the grass around their feet died*

Professor Vargas: ...

Professor Vargas: Proceed to do the exercise and you're free to go.

MC: *closes their eyes* *hunching their back*

*the students started to murmur*

MC: *a pair of bony wings start to emerge from their spine* *the sound of it rattling and the tearing flesh*

*the students covered their mouth in disbelief*

MC: *extends their wings* I apologize for making you wait. I'll do the exercise now.

Professor Vargas: G-Go on.

Lilia: Ashton, I heard that you had bullied MC during your class.

Lilia: Malleus was not happy about it.

Professor Vargas: I apologize. I went too far.

Lilia: It's too late now. MC destroyed their protective suit because of your comment.

Professor Vargas: ...

Lilia: If this happens again, I'm afraid we have to take immediate action.

Jamil: I don't know why I agreed to go with you.

Ace: *searching for MC* I'm sure they'll be sulking right now.

Jamil: Ace, have you become friends with them?

Ace: Of course! We immediately clicked on their first day!

Jamil: That doesn't seem like it.

Ace: *pouts* It is!

*cold wind blows*

Ace: ...

Ace: There's my bestfriend!

Jamil: Seriously?

MC: *gripping a now dead flower in their hand*

Ace: Oi!!!! Bestfriend!!!

MC: Don't come any closer.

Jamil: Oh my. It seems you are pissed. *talking about the dead flowers scattered around them*

MC: I'm trying to calm myself.

Jamil: ...

Ace: Hey! We understand you don't like Professor Vargas! Do you want me to get back at him for you?

Ace: We can ask Deucey to drop some cauldrons on his head!

MC: *turns to look at him* He won't do that. He's an honor student.

Ace: Yeah, right. But he ain't no goody two-shoes either!

MC: ...

MC: Okay. That is way better than what I'm thinking to do.

Jamil: ...

Jamil: So we have saved Professor Vargas.

[t4twnyclaw]

need to know abt the ashfur/squirrelflight/brambleclaw love triangle mess historical style.

it'd probably follow canon?

ashfur (ashton) is more rich and well-read than bramble, he's relatively the same size and stature, and he's nice *enough.* firestar and sandstorm prefer squirrelflight to marry him over bramble.

he used to be friends with bramble. (ash, bramble, soot and rain, bestfriends) but he became more aloof when his nephew and nieces were born and more antagonistic when he realised bramble and squirrel *could* be a couple. ultimately I imagine him being bitter at being almost 30, unmarried and not really climbing the social ladder anytime soon.

he purposefully sends bramble away to close in on squirrel (more so, just heavily encourage him to leave to the city with hawkfrost with his coal mining scheme.)

Written in the stars - Calum Hood

Contents: fluff, a bit of swearing and mentions of sex

In which the reader goes to a halloween party

Word count: 1.3k

y/b/n - your bestfriend´s name

Calum Hood x Reader (fem)

You look in the mirror trying to get your eyeliner perfect, when your best friend comes and scares you, smudging your eyeliner "y/b/n! My eyeliner!" You cry out. "I´m sorry y/n" your best friend laughs. You smile. "Now I gotta do this eye all over again." You couldn´t help but smile at her expression. "We gotta leave in 15" She winked, you rolled your eyes.

Ashton had been having his annual halloween party, literally everyone was going to go. He always went all out, that meant decorations, food, and many, many drinks.

You asked your friend "Half up half down or just leave it down?" "Definitely half up!" She smiled. You had a good look at yourself in the mirror. You were wearing a Padme costume from star wars, it was all white, and awfully tight. When you finally finished you asked her "What do you think?" She said "Turn around and do a little twirl" You did what she asked. "Gorgeous!" She exclaimed.

In the car, you were sitting in the passenger seat and your friend was driving. "y/n, how do you think the party will be?" You furrowed an eyebrow. "I´m not sure, I only know a few people, but I have you, so that´s good!" There was a quick silence. "Sooooo... Do you think you´re gonna fuck someone tonight?" She asked. Your mouth opened. "y/b/n! I don´t know anybody there!" You exclaimed. "That wasn´t a no!" she laughed.

You both entered the party. He really outdid himself this time. There were dim purple lights and the music was blasting. This could be fun, you thought.

You were immediately greeted by Luke, who was dressed as an angel, it really suited him, especially with his curly blonde hair. "Hey y/n!" I´m so glad you came! Can I get you a drink?" he said while hugging you. "I think it´s a little too early, but thanks Lu." You laughed. "That´s okay, the boys are next to the couch, come here." Luke exclaimed. Your friend was talking to a tall ginger guy, you asked her if it was okay if you went with Luke, she said it was okay, since she was clearly preoccupied with the man in front of her.

You went with Luke, and met with Michael and Ashton. Ashton was wearing a pirate costume and Mike was wearing a vampire one. "Ash, this party is amazing! You really outdid yourself" You told him. "This is no problem, just another saturday night." He joked. You hugged Michael and smiled.

Suddenly, your best friend came up behind you and dragged you to the dance floor, you gave an apologetic smile to all the boys and went with her.

The music in your veins was pumping, you were swaying to the rythym of the music with your friend, you were having more fun than you imagined, what you didn´t imagine, there was a tall, handsome brunette staring right at you.

He was completely hypnotized, your body moved in a way that put him in a trance, it was like he was mesmerized.

Michael came up to the boy, since he noticed he was staring. "Hey Cal, buddy, who are you staring at?" He looked at your direction. "Oh yeah, makes sense." He looked at him.

"Who is that?" Calum asked. "That´s y/n, she´s a friend." Michael smiled. "Dude, how come you haven´t introduced me to her?" "You never asked!" Michael laughed. "Hey, you´re wearing an Anakin costume! What a coincidence... That would be a conversation starter for both of you!" "Whatever, man." Calum sighed.

The party was coming to an end, your friend asked if you wanted to come home with her, since her friend was coming to pick her up. You said "No, it´s okay, i´ll stay here a while longer." You hugged her and said goodbye.

The only people left at the party were you, Luke, Calum, Mike and Ashton, and you all were sitting on the floor, talking. You were sat next to Calum, and you were nervous. He was the most beautiful guy you had ever seen, you could have been sucked into his brown eyes.

Ashton brought the most obvious fact up. "Hey, you guys are basically wearing a couple costume, and you guys haven´t introduced yourselves yet! I´ll start, y/n this is Calum, our friend." "Cool costume" You said to Calum. "Thanks, yours too." You both looked into each other´s eyes.

"Okay, are we gonna ignore the major tension y/n and Calum are obviously having?" Ashton blurted out. You both started blushing. "Ashton, we barely know each other." You said. "Eyes speak a thousand words sister." He laughed.

He was right. All you wanted to do in that moment was kiss him, but you didn´t know if he wanted the same, you just met him for God´s sakes! But the way he smiled at you made you wonder.

"I need to go get some fresh air, i´ll be back in a few minutes." You said, needing to think this through. "This is your chance, man!" Luke said to Calum. Michael and Ashton agreed. "I just met her, i can´t just go there!" Calum whispered. "Dude, we saw the way you guys were looking at each other, she looked like she wanted to devour you." Ashton said.

Meanwhile, you went outside, you could hear the faint music from inside, the air was crisp and cool, it was fall, your favorite season. There were no clouds, you could see thousands of stars. You sat down on the floor and sighed, thinking about Calum´s curly hair, thinking about how you wanted to put your hands through it.

Calum opened the door, the sound scaring you. You looked back, and it was him, wearing his adorable homemade Anakin costume.

'"Hey, i´m sorry if I scared you" He smiled. You smiled back, "It´s okay." He came up next to you. You patted the ground for him to come sit.

He sat down with his legs in front of him, looking at you. "So, are you enjoying the party so far?" He asked. "I am, but this costume is really tight, and I wanna get home and take it off." Calum laughed. "What about you? Are you enjoying the party?" You asked. "It´s better now that i´m here with you." You couldn´t believe your ears. Keep it cool, you thought. "That was so corny!" You laughed. Calum started blushing. "Well you laughed, so i´ve done my job."

There was a pause. "What are you thinking of, y/n?" He asked. "The stars look really beautiful tonight." You said looking up at the sky. "Yeah, they really are." Calum wasn´t looking at the stars, he was looking at you.

You laid down, soon after, Calum did the same. There was a silence, but it was comfortable, like you´ve known him all your life, and this was just another night.

Calum looked at you. "You know you look gorgeous tonight, y/n." You smiled. You passed your hands through his hair. "Thank you, Calum, you don´t look so bad yourself."

Calum gave you a slow kiss. You looked surprised. "Oh shit, sorry, i shouldn´t have done that, we just met." He looked away.

"It´s okay, Calum. I want this." This time, you were the one who brought your lips to his. The kiss was passionate, a fire that either of you have never experienced. After the kiss, you both smiled at each other.

"I think we need to go to more Halloween parties." Calum said.

"I wouldn´t be opposed to that." You laughed.

"Do you want to go out sometime? To get coffee?" Calum asked. "Already asking me on a date? But we only met!" You said sarcastically, laughing.

"Yes, I would love to."

Poor Mylo and Pepsi :(

VVVVV @whyl3m0nzsour I'm not sorry

After awhile of Pepsi ignoring Mylo.. he started to wonder about.. everything.

Before he knew it. It was too late. Mylo had moved onto Swagger, his older brother.

Mylo is projecting onto swag, but Pepsi doesn't know, shhh

You see.. I could make Mylo absolute bestfriends with both Pepsi and Oliver, but what's the fun in that?

I mean.. if they were bestfriends or even platonic lovers, it would probably mean that it would get Erick off Olive's back-

...Shit. Now I'm imagining all three in a cute relationship.

Also I got rid of Mylo's hair dye because he just looks like Ashton-

things I think you would do with Calum if you were together

I feel like you'd bake together - late night baking sessions where you're both sleepy and end up getting flour everywhere and burning whatever you bake

random staring contests - you'd just end up randomly catching each other's eyes and neither of you would look away so these impromptu staring contests would break out

weekly movie nights - you'd have a tradition of Friday nights being movie & pizza nights and you'd always take ages to choose and end up settling on one of the three movies you've both already watched a million times before

early morning dog walks or work outs - getting into a routine when he's home of walking Duke in the early morning and doing partner workouts and showering together afterwards

making out like horny teenagers whenever you're drunk or when he gets home from tour

just the best cuddles ever.

visiting him in the studio and bringing snacks for him & the guys

painting each other's nails and always ending up giggling messes at how badly you both paint them

Hi I love your writing! I was wondering if you could do a pregnant reader with best friend calum and he refers to the babies as his own and the reader melts because she secretly likes him and they end up confessing and it’s just fluffy. Please 🥺👉🏼👈🏼

𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐌 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃  ⇉  ours

warnings  ➢  pregnancy 

after a solid tour, the next thing calum didn’t expect to come home to was a pregnant roommate, whom was freaking out. he had heard most details of your very toxic relationship with your now ex-boyfriend, but adding a baby to the mix was the one thing that lead him to breaking up with you. so for the next few months, calum hood stepped up to the plate and decided he was going to do everything for the baby that was soon to come. he accompanied you at your ultrasounds, always being mistaken for the dad but he brushed it off and accepted it to save you from embarrassment. he knew that having to say that the father left was way more embarrassing than him saying he was the father, because secretly, he wished he was.

he had always sworn that he was going to be the best uncle, teasing you that you needed to hurry up and pick him as the godfather of the baby. when he had finally went to your baby shower, surrounded by bunches of people including the boys and their girlfriends, he felt a little embarrassed that he hadn’t really had a relationship or any sort of connection with anybody for the longest time. calum took the next seat inside his house, on his bed which you were in the next room. calum had on his best clothing which consisted of a soft button up and black jeans, as well as vans which he was not about to get totally dressed up for this occasion. you wandered into his room, looking about as radiant as ever. your hair had a new fullness and your skin looked flawless, the black dress that was on you had calum jaw-dropped. it may have been simple, but he couldn’t have felt more.. starstruck. 

“so..” you smile, “kinda feels a little bit more real.” you admit, showing off your dimples with this one. he nods, “yeah. we’re having a baby, can you believe were gonna find out their gender today? gonna get cake and the gender of our baby.” he murmurs, his arms opening wider for you. “you’re not gonna break me, sit down.” he chides, patting his lap to which you sit down on. “so, our baby?” you question, calum becoming flustered at the question. “i just, i always thought it would be us. back in high-school, i thought it was us. never happened though, but with the baby and everything, kinda made it feel like it is us.” you confess, calum taking a second to process the confession before realizing exactly what you had meant. “does feel real. i want to be there, for our daughter or son. i wanna be the dad, i wanna one day be a complete family.” he rambles, looking up at you. your fingers lightly brush a stray curl from his forehead, calum just going for it. your lips make contact and at first it felt so weird, but it felt so natural. 

one of his hands cradled your bump, the other lingered on your face. when the two of you broke apart, you heard a few voices from outside. “guess we gotta go out, it is our baby shower after.” you tease, calum kissing you one more time before letting you lead him out of the room. 

“there you guys are! we’ve been waiting ages, we were so close to just revealing the gender for us.” crystal exclaims, looking cute like always while she made her way back to michael. “okay, well. i got boy.” you announce, calum rolling his eyes. “it’s okay, girls are just as good.” he pokes back at you, already hearing the try to gather up the other people to come for the reveal. the black balloon were sitting there, waiting for you and calum. so when you finally got time to poke them, the pink confetti that flew up and scared the two of you, you felt the tears escape from your eyes. he wasted no time and his hands made it’s way to your waist, pressing a soft kiss to your lips. “we’re having a girl.” calum murmurs, hearing the sudden cheers and gasps of everybody else. you nod, looking up at his glassy eyes. he smiles, “cheers to these last few weeks, we’ll be spending a lot of time with this little girl.” suddenly, these months of hardships and the years of friendship had made sense, now he was soon to be the father of a little girl and nothing could stop him from being proud of it.

Neighbour!Ashton

Word Count: 1862

Warnings: None

Summary: Bella gets locked out of her house when a cheeky friend from her past pops up to her assistance.

A/N: This may become a bigger story, I’m not sure what will happen. Let’s see how much people like this one! Neighbour!Ashton is not the title, its the current concept lol until I find a title. Enjoy! Let me know if you want me to continue this story line! If you wanna be tagged in other parts, let me know! (Also I tried to remove unnecessary commas! I edited the best I could)

~*~*~

Unable to get my feet under me, I slipped on the towel I’d placed on the bathroom floor instead of the bathmat and as I fell to the floor, I grabbed the towel rack for aid, and it crashed loudly beside me. Muttering curses under my breath I stood, snatching the nearest towel and wrapping it around myself. 

I fumbled with the lock in the door knob, then once I finally got it open, I hurled myself into the hall. Why was I never able to do anything? All I’d wanted was a shower to wipe the thin layer of sweat I could feel over my entire body off, but I’d barely stepped in and the dogs had begun to bark and howl at something.

I crashed down the stairs, spooking Olive, our grey tabby, and I raced into the front living room. Our shih-tzu’s - a breed of small dog that should be rather chil, however ours were far from - Peekley and Mushroom were standing on the back of the couch in the bay window, heads thrown back barking as loud as they could. 

“Hey!” I hollered, pulling my towel tighter around myself, “shut up!” Usually when they did this there was a person walking past with a dog or the poor paperboy. The dogs refused to stop, and I collapsed on the couch, leaning over them to pull the curtain back. Their barking was slightly valid when I saw the white mail van pull away from our house. 

“Stop,” I hissed at the dogs as the van drove around the crescent. They were usually good with their barking and stopping, but sometimes they got excessive. It was ridiculous.

I pat to the front door, pulling it open, stepping into the hot summer’s day, then pulling the door shut to keep the air conditioning in. There was barely a cloud in the sky and those home during the day were doing garden work. I grinned when I saw the box on the bottom step. A few days ago I had made a large order of novels I had wanted to read on my summer break, and it seemed to have arrived. I expected it to arrive at the house’s mailbox down the road, but it was so big that they had to deliver it right to our doorstep.

Adjusting the towel around me again, I bent to pick the package up when I heard the front door click shut. I shot up, sprinting up the steps and trying to push the door open. It rattled and I cursed. Our front door had an automatic lock that could only open with a key. My dad worked for a lock company and was testing it on our door, and long story short the thing was useless. 

“C’mon,” I begged, rattling the door. It refused to budge and my key was hanging on the hook by the front closet. The dogs started barking from the window, and I shouted for them to stop, the horror that it was mid-afternoon and I was stuck outside in my front garden in nothing but a towel was occupying my mind. I realized I may have left the back door unlocked, and I leapt from the porch, adjusted my towel yet again and darted down the cobblestone pathway, across the hot driveway and up the side of my house to the gate. I reached over to find the hook on the gate, then my stomach turned hollow as my fingers brushed a hard padlock fastened to the hook.

I cursed, balling my hands into fists and I stormed back to the front door. As soon as my dad got home from work I would demand he remove that lock and burn whatever prototypes his company had created. What an awful design.

My parents weren’t going to be home until that evening, and my sister was out with her friends at the amusement park. I was going to be stuck out there forever. 

“Bella?”

I whirled around, grabbing the top of my towel and clutching it to my chest in protection. I stared at the person. It was Ashton. I hadn’t seen Ashton or spoken to Ashton in years. He lived across the street, and we’d grown up as best friends. We got to high school and interests changed, our lives got busier, and we started to drift apart. I missed him sometimes. Sometimes someone would remind me of him, or I’d see him when he was home from college in the dark hours of the night lit by the street lights riding his yellow trick bike in aimless circles. Sometimes I saw his posts on Instagram, or I’d simply just think about him. And I missed him.

But mostly I tried to push that missing feeling away. Tried to pretend it didn’t exist.

“Hi,” I said quietly, staring at him. He was the same as the last time we spoke, which was at our high school graduation and our mothers demanded a picture of the two of us together. He still wore dark jeans and ripped band tees. He still wore black converse. Still had those pretty hazel eyes I knew every girl gushed over. He was a little older, had a couple of tattoos, but he was still recognizable as my old Ashton. 

“You okay?”

Mm, he still also had that cheeky grin. 

His eyes roamed up and down me, and I felt briefly violated before realizing he wasn’t looking at me in a way that meant he wanted to rip my towel off. He was being his usual cheeky self, and was probably very concerned why I was out in the street in my towel.

“It’s a whole thing,” I told him, “but my dad’s stupid lock locked me out of the house.”

“Ah,” he nodded. I nodded in return because I felt awkward, and a silence fell between us.

“Why don’t you come over to my place until your parents get home,” he offered.

I raised my eyebrow, “are you sure?”

“Of course. You’re  family.”

“Thanks.”

I adjusted my towel again, and took the steps slowly. Ashton scooped up my large box of books and quirked his eyebrow at me as he tucked it behind a planter on my porch.

“Books?”

I smiled, “of course!” He chuckled as we made our way across the street to his house.

“The water droplets on your shoulders sparkling in the sun are very pretty, Bella,” he said as we walked up his front porch and he opened the door for me to step through.

“Oh,” I said as he pulled the door shut, feeling off guard, “um, thank you.”

He flashed another smile before calling out to his mum, “Bella’s over!”

Ms. Irwin appeared from the kitchen with wide eyes, “Bella?”

I wondered when the last time was that Ashton and I stepped through the Irwin’s front door like this.

“Hi Ms. Irwin,” I waved, my face flushing.

She beamed, “hi, Sweetheart. How are you?”

“I’m fine,” I nodded, “you?”

She just nodded and said, “you two be good,” before disappearing again.

Ashton rolled his eyes with a grin before putting a hand on my back between my shoulder blades and guided me towards the stairs. As we climbed, I looked at the photographs that lined the wall of Ashton and his little sister and brother. There were photos that had been hanging there for as long as I could remember, but some, like school photos, now showed them as older kids, Ashton as an adult. 

There was one photo that made my heart stutter. It was Ashton and I when we were about six. We were at the zoo, sitting on a bench laughing, my head on his shoulder, his head against mine. We each held a melting popsicle, the red and pink syrup all over our hands, around our mouths and on our chins. I don’t think a photo has been taken of me where I’ve looked that happy since.

“I love this photo.” I pointed it out.

“Yeah,” Ashton who had been at the top of the stairs, hopped down the last few to join me, “that was a fun

day.” 

We looked at it for a moment, then continued to Ashton’s room. I laughed when I entered.

“What?” He asked, rummaging around his closet.

“Ashton, it looks the same!” I wandered around the room. The room itself was painted a dark blue. Ashton’s bed was unmade, clothes were in piles on the floor. He had a desk, where his laptop sat, and in one corner his drum kit, the other a black bean bag chair. Knick knacks and odd belongings sat on shelves and in odd spaces on the floor.

“Like yours doesn’t?” He grinned, passing me one of his t-shirts. 

“Okay,” I laughed, “it might be.” My room was still purple and green. The doll house my dad had made me that I made Ashton play with me numerous times still sat on its shelf. I still had fragments of LEGO upon my shelves. My books cluttered every corner. Posters from movies and musicians covered my walls.

He chuckled, moving to his drawer and rummaging around. I pulled on his shirt, a Guns N Roses shirt with minimal holes, and pulled it down as far as it could go. Ashton passed me a pair of boxers, and sat at his desk as I pulled them on and ditched my towel on his floor.

I felt better now I wore clothes and stepped over to him. Folding my arms across my chest, I leant over his shoulder to see what he was doing. A message appeared on the screen once he’d logged in, and he clicked it.

_dirtycliffo: log in!

I grinned, “Ashton, is that Michael?” I hadn’t talked to our old friends  in a long time.

“Yes,” he frowned, typing back.

weeniebeanie: no

I suddenly exploded with laughter, clutching at my stomach. Then I leant over his shoulder so I could see his face.

“You still have your screen names from eighth grade?”

“Yes,” Ashton grumbled. He was avoiding looking at me, but I could see in his eyes he was smiling.

weeniebeanie: i hate that game

_dirtycliffo: c’mon. Luke n cal also suck

bread: heyy

“You still act like you're in grade eight too,” I laughed, resting my chin on Ashton’s shoulder as he logged into the game.

“Here,” he said, passing me a headset that was on his deck, “listen in.”

I twisted the headphones so we could both hear and Ashton could use the mic.

“Good, you’re here,” came Michael’s static filled voice.

“Yeah,” Ashton sighed, “but it’s not just me here.”

“Oh?” Calum’s voice came. It occurred to me that even though I wasn’t as close to them as I was Ashton, I kind of missed them too.

“Yeah. Bella-Wella is here too,” he replied, calling me my grade school name.

“Stop,” I laughed, nudging him, and he grinned.

“So it’s just like old times? Hey, Bella.”

“Hey,” I called back, and the boys started their game, talking about weapons and strategies. And I listened along. Just like old times.

Warning(s): Pregnancy (??), angst

Word count: 1128

               I stared at the pregnancy test for what felt like years. I didn’t know how this happened. We were always careful. But the three positive tests displayed on the counter told me otherwise, we weren’t careful enough. How was I going to tell him?

               I heard the door to the apartment slam shut. He’s here. I stand in the all too familiar bathroom, frozen to the tile floor. Footsteps approach the door, and I see a shadow under the small crack at the bottom of the door before I hear a knock.

               “ Y/n, Hun? Is that you? What are you doing here? I thought we had dinner plans later.”

His voice was angelic, it always was. It’s one of the many things that attracted me to him in the first place.  I knew his voice wouldn’t be so calm and soothing as soon as I told him the news. We’re young and not ready for a baby. I’ve only been dating a few weeks, and before that friends with benefits. I knew he wasn’t ready for this; I don’t think he ever will be. I knew I wasn’t ready for my life to turn upside down, but I had to tell him; he deserved to know.

After a few seconds of mustering up enough courage to break the news, I opened the bathroom door. And there he was, looking as good as ever, in his black skinny jeans, deep green hoody, beat-up black converse and his black head of curls an unruly mess, like always.

“Hun, what’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” he stated, taking in my disheveled appearance.

And that’s when he saw the tests, before I could even get a word out. He pushed passed me in the doorway and landed right in front of the bathroom counter, where the tests were. He looked down at them, then back up at me.  His expression was unreadable.

“You’re pregnant?”

I didn’t even get a chance to answer his question before he made his way to his bedroom. I knew what he was doing before I could follow him. He threw the few clothing items I had left here into a small bag, along with my toothbrush.

“We’re done. I don’t want anything to do with you are that baby,” he stated, too calmly for my liking.

I expected him to yell, and then pack up my things. I really wasn’t ready for him to so easily and calmly break up with me. It was like I was just another conquest of his. He didn’t look phased at all, but that’s who he was. He always had issues expressing his emotions, and I had yet to be able to read him. I picked up my poorly packed bag and coolly walked out of the small apartment he called home.

“It was fun while it lasted, Bryce,” and with that, I closed the door, along with that chapter of my life.

Still emotionally numb from the news and trying to comprehend that I was truly going to do this on my own, I unconsciously dialed a phone number I’ve had memorized for as long as I can remember.

“Y/N! How’s my little wildflower doing?”

“Cal…. Can I come over?” I asked, dismissing his question.

He knew something was wrong, his voice hardened, “What happened?”

“Cal…”

“Y/N.”

I didn’t say a thing, afraid of my voice breaking as all my emotions hit me at once, and I get out a sob.

“Y/n, where are you? What happened? Are you OK?” he frantically asked.

“Can I come over?” I asked again, between sobs.

“Yes! Please. I’m at the studio with the guys right now. I’ll tell them something came up-“

“No! Please… don’t drop what you’re doing for me, I’m not worth it.”

“Yes, you are! You are worth everything and more. You’re clearly upset and I’m coming home.”

“…ok.”

And with that, I hung up. I started walking in the direction of his home, knowing it would take me a bit to reach my destination.

As I finally came close to my final destination, I stood outside Calum’s beautiful two-story home. I always told him it was the perfect home to start a family in, and every time he just laughed at me. I knew he was afraid of commitment and never believed in love, but I always found it odd that he bought such a large home in a quiet part of town if he never intended on settling down. He always said the extra space was for the guys when they and their girlfriends stayed over.

I must have been standing in front of the home for a little too long, as I could here Duke barking up a storm on the inside, and next thing I know, Calum swings the front door open and quickly makes his the way towards me.

“Did you walk here?” he asks after engulfing me in a bear hug.

“Yeah,” I whispered.

Before he could get any other word out, I broke the news to my best friend, “I’m pregnant and alone.”

He looked at me, surprise and shock all over his face. It was silent for a few seconds as I waited for him to say something.

“No, you aren’t”

“Excuse me?”

“You said you were alone. You aren’t alone.”

“Cal...-“

“No. You are not raising this child on your own. Not while I’m still your best friend. I will help you,” he stated as he lifted my face from under my chin, so I could look him the eyes.

“My place isn’t big enough for a baby, it’s barely big enough for me.”

“Move in with me.”

“Excuse me?” I took a quick step away from him, shocked at his response.

He was quick to close the space between us, “You heard me. Move-in with me. You’re always saying I have the perfect home to start a family, so why don’t we?”

“Calum..”

“That way I can help you with everything. The eventual midnight cravings, holding your hair back during morning sickness, and everything else. I want to be there for you and your baby, so please let me help you.”

“A baby is a big cock block though Calum.” I tried to reason with him. I didn’t want him to change his whole life because of me.

“I suppose this is the time to tell you that I’ve been in love with you since the day I met you. This baby may not be mine, but I will love it as much as I love you.”

I looked up into Calum’s eyes, and I knew he was telling the truth. His eyes were always full of emotion.

“Fine, I’ll move in. And I love you too.”
