pov y/n
"you are doing it wrong!"
Michael sighed in frustration and sat down in a nearly chair already fed up with the situation
"it's not even your own song, how the fuck can you know if im doing it well or wrong?!"
I fought back.
it was always like this, we were constantly arguining about stupid stuff.
But now the argument was more annoying since the studio 5sos usually use was in repairs, we had to share our studio with them.
"Can you two please calm down?!"
Amelia, one of my bandmates scolded us
"at first it was a funny situation but now you two are just being annoying!
Can't you guys get along for at least 20 minutes?"
"...no?"
Michael answered and all complained and groaned
"im done"
Amelia said standing up and going out of the studio.
We knew we were too annoying sometimes but in self defense, Michael always started the fights between us, teasing me constantly wanting to get a reaction out me, i don't even know when this rivalry exactly started, i just know that if it was the end of the world i would prefer to spend it with anyone else but Michael.
We were about to go out to stage to perform our new song with the 5sos boys since it was a collaboration we made together.
Luke annouced the name of our band and we runned towards the stage.
Amelia went towards the other drums next to Ashton's, Tori stood with her bass next to Calum, Lily had her mic in her hand, and i had to stand next to Michael with my guitar.
The song started, the crowd was amazing, jumping around and screaming the lyrics
Everyone was having a good time until the guitar solo arrived.
I was playing along with Michael until the solo started to get a little bit longer and we ended up having a guitar solos fight in the middle of the stage, Ashton and Amelia trying to keep our peace, Luke, Calum and Tori having to repeat the chord progression like 5 times until Amelia made me a sign to stop, and i indicate Michael that we should stop but he didn't cared and kept playing His guitar.
Until Luke, Tori, Calum, Ashton and Amelia stopped playing and Michael had to play along and pretend nothing happend.
Once the show ended we met the boys on the backstage
"what the hell happend up there?!"
Lily asked me and Michael
"i dunno, ask him! He started the whole solo fight"
I crossed my arms and tensed my jaw trying not to explode of anger in that same exact moment
"you were keeping it up, so it's basically your fault!"
Michael fought back.
That was it, that was the straw that broke the camel's back
"that's it."
"im sick of your fucking atittude Michael, i can't even remember when we started to get along so badly but what i remember is that you are the same as annoying as you were the day that i met you. I can't even understand what the fuck did i do to make you hate me so much, im so fucking tired of fighting with you every single day-
You know what? Don't talk to me, ever again"
I left the dressing room and went straight to our van just waiting for the girls to come in with me so we could go back home.
The next few months i've been avoiding him for as much as i could.
We were in the middle of our tour along with 5sos, even if we were performing in different stadiums in the same city, we were staying in the same hotel and having shared after parties.
The music was busting from the speakers, there was people dancing, some other making out, and other people making drinking games.
I was chatting with my bandmates and something catched my eye.
It was Michael, drinking in a corner all alone.
"can you guys.. excuse me for a bit?"
I said while i stood up not really waiting for an answer, i walked towards Michael and stood against the wall next to him
"what do you want?"
Michael asked before i could even open my mouth
"I was going to try to be a decent human being and ask you how you were but now im not really in the mood anymore"
"Whatever"
He started to walk towards the exit door of the bar, leaving his cup on a random table, i followed him. I was having enough of his attitude, i deserved to know what was his problem
"Clifford!"
I called out when i saw he stopped to lean against a wall, when he saw me he rolled his eyes and sighed
"what part of "i don't like being around you" did you not understand?"
"And why's that? Because i don't even know why or how we started to hate each other! Im sick of your attitude and i think i deserve to know why are you like this towards me, because you don't know much i tried to be your friend and you just keep pushing me away and treating me like a piece of shit!"
He walked towards me and stood dangerously closer to me
"do you really want to know why am i like this towards you?!"
I stayed in silence surprised because of how closer he was to me, a couple of seconds later a teasing grin appeard in my face
"what are you doing?"
I said teasing clearly pointing the almost non-existent space between us, he quickly stepped back and covered his blushed expression
"are you blushing?"
"no, im not! Shut up!"
I giggled while he was just looking at me like if he wanted to kill me for laughing at him
"sorry, sorry. However, to answer your question, yes, i would like to know why you hate me so much"
"I hate you because-.... Because..."
I raised a brow seeing how he was struggling to get the words out
"you don't really have a good reason to hate me, do you?"
"yes i do! You are-"
"you are so fucking annoying!"
"why?"
I crossed my arms
"because- you-"
He sighed and looked away
"alright, im done with this"
I turned around to walk away but suddenly Michael took my wrist and pulled me back towards him to make me stay.
When he realized his grip was on my wrist he let go of me and just stepped back before brushing his hair back in frustration
"i hate you so damn much because you are too fucking amazing to be real"
"excuse me?! Is this all because you are just fucking jealous of me? Get a real problem Michael!"
"you don't understand! It's not because im jealous of you!"
He stepped further and i did as well
"what Is it then?! What can make you hate me so much if i didn't do anything?!"
"Because i fucking like you Y/N!"
My eyes widened, did i just heared what i think i heared?
"I've been fucking in love with you since we met but i knew i was way out of your league and i thought that the only way to at least get some of your attention was by bothering you and i-"
i cupped his face with my hands and i shut him up by just kissing him.
After a couple of seconds i pulled away
"wha-what was that..?"
"a kiss, you never had one?"
"oh, shut up"
"make me"
He raised a brow before pulling me back for another kiss
