“Touchy Feely”

You were in a Vegas Penthouse suite with Calum, Michael, Ashton, and Luke. 5 Seconds of Summer had a day off from meetings, tour preparations, and song writing. It was beautiful day, the sun high in the sky and shining brightly. It was just a matter of how to spend the day.

Michael was sat on the floor with his back against the center table and a Nintendo switch in his hands. Calum was on the single seat couch with his legs over the armrest and his back against the other as he scrolled through the endless notifications on his phone. You were laid on the long couch with your head rested on Luke’s lap and he ran his left fingers through your hair while intertwining the right with yours.

“What are we doing today?” Ashton asked when he returned from the kitchen with a bag of crisps.

“We could hit the pool,” Luke suggested.

“I think I’ll stay here,” Michael replied, focused on his game, and frankly, not a fan of the outside.

Calum sat up straight on his seat and placed his phone down on the table. “I’m down,” he said.

“Me, too,” Ashton agreed. “[Y/N], what about you?”

You sat up and nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”

The four of you dispersed from the living room to change into swimwear.

“Luke?” you called from your room as you struggled to tie a decent knot with the straps behind your back. Luke’s head popped out of the doorway. “Yeah?” he asked. You turned around to show him the untied straps of your bikini top. “Help,” you said. Luke walked inside and tied the straps for you.

“Hey,” Calum said from the doorway, “are you guys ready?”

“Yeah,” Luke answered as soon as he finished tying the straps. You followed Luke out of the room. “I could’ve tied it for you,” Calum whispered from behind you.

You whipped your head around and glared at Calum. “Shut up,” you told him. Calum chuckled at your defensiveness. 

“Have fun!” Michael yelled from the living room as the four of you left.

The pool area was gorgeous and spacious. The pool was in the shape of an infinity sign and the outside of the area was lined with palm trees. The place was filled with people who were looking for a great time and cocktails and margaritas in their hands. There were rows after rows pool lounge chairs and cabanas. Music was blasted by the DJ and there was a bar set up with waiters and waitresses to serve guests.

“Need help?” Luke asked when he saw you were applying sunscreen.

“Yes please,” you handed him the bottle and turned your back towards him.

He squirted sunscreen onto his hands and rubbed it onto your back. You caught Ashton and Calum watching with smirks on their faces. “What?” you asked the two. “Nothin’,” Calum replied smugly.

“Me next,” Ashton teased Luke. Luke rolled his eyes and aimed the sunscreen bottle at Ashton. Ashton flinched as the bottle hit him right in the arm. “Ouch,” he joked, rubbing his arm.

You and Luke walked around the pool in search of the deepest end, which happened to be in the center of the pool. “Wanna jump?” Luke grinned down at you.

You dipped your toes in and felt the cold temperature of the water. “Holy crap, it’s cold,” you told him.

“Even better!” he laughed. Luke took your hand and gave it a light squeeze. “Ready?”

“One…”

“Two…”

“Three!”

Splash!

You felt the coldness of the water take over your body. You kicked your feet until you reached the surface of the water. Luke flipped his hair and wiped the water away from his face. He swam towards you and held you to him. You wrapped an arm around his neck to you keep afloat. “Oh my God,” you laughed, “it’s freezing!”

“Did you touch the ground when you jumped?” he asked.

You shook your head, “No. How deep is this thing?”

“You jumped in without us?” Ashton stood by the edge of the pool with Calum, sounding slightly disappointed.

“Get in!” you shouted. The two boys took a few steps back before running at full speed and cannonballing into the water.

It was a fun, relaxing day. The water was refreshing and cooling from the incredible desert heat. You rented floats and laid on the water with drinks in your hands. When you wanted a break from the water, you returned to the cabana and laid down in the shaded area.

“Scoot,” you told Luke who was stretched out on the small cabana bed. He moved over and made room for you to lie down beside him.

You and Luke stayed there until Calum and Ashton had enough fun in the pool. The two boys stayed in the water and hung around a few girls they met but emerged out of the water eventually. They returned to the cabana and woke you and Luke up.

“Wake up, party people,”  Calum said.

You and Luke got up from the bed and began gathering your things. The four of you walked back into the hotel and waited patiently for the elevator to take your to the top floor. “I call one of the showers,” Calum said as soon as the elevator doors opened.

“Do you mind if I use our shower first?” Luke asked, considering the suite only had two bathrooms and one was already called for by Calum. You nodded, “Sure.”

“How was the pool?” Michael asked when you saw you all had returned. He was still in the same spot and position as when you had left him a few hours ago.

“Good,” you replied. You took a seat on the single couch Calum sat in earlier.

“I have a question,” Ashton stated.

“What’s your question?”

“Is there something going on between you and Luke that we don’t know about?”

This caught Michael’s attention. He paused his Switch and joined in on the conversation. “What?”

“What?” you also said.

“Come on!” Ashton insisted, “No bullshit.” He rushed to take a seat across from you on the center table. “You two are abnormally touchy-feely with one another. It’s concerning.”

“No,” you said sternly, “Nothing’s going on, Ashton. Luke and I are just friends— the same way I am with you guys.”

“So you don’t like him?” Michael said, half asking, “Like, at all?”

You paused for a moment. This was a topic you avoided yourself. You refused to ponder about it, let alone consider. It was too complicated, confusing, and frankly, risky. You figured if there was any chance you liked Luke, now was not the time to be honest. “At all,” you said as convincingly as possible.

“Does Luke like you?” Michael asked.

You shrugged, “How would I possibly know that?”

“I’ll ask Luke,” Ashton said excitedly.

Luke came into the living room, securing a towel around his waist. “Ask me what?” he asked the group. You, Michael, and Ashton exchanged looks. “Nothing,” you answered quickly. “Nothing.”
