Summary: You and Luke are roommates, and perhaps you’re the proof that opposites actually do attract.
A/N: This is pure fluff, and don’t we all love the roommates-become-lovers-cliché? xx
You couldn’t quite remember how you and Luke ended up together as roommates. The university had made some sort of mistake but since there weren’t any other rooms left, you and Luke had to make it work until another room got available. And even though you got the chance to get a female roommate after a girl dropped out two months into the semester, you didn’t. ‘Cause you had grown to be fond of the strange guy with the beautiful baby blue eyes. He was the exact opposite of you – outgoing, spontaneous and wild. You were more like the stay-in-and-reed-a-book type of person, but you and Luke made it work, and both of you were happy with the arrangement.
It was Saturday night and you laid in bed and watched a random movie on Netflix. The day had been spent indoors; doing homework and napping, and you had to admit you had enjoyed just being a little lazy.
You had just got back after going to the bathroom and were about to start the movie again, but plans changed when your insanely drunk roommate stumbled inside with a bottle of vodka in his arms. You sighed and got up, when you heard the door smack. Great. Now you had to babysit the guy for the rest of the evening instead of watching the surprisingly good movie and eating popcorn.
“Luke? Are you all right?” you yelled as you interred your shared living room. He had made this stunt a dozens times before and by now you knew exactly how to handle his drunk self. However, you weren’t prepared for the sight that met your eyes as you scanned the hard wooden floor. His cuteness was levels over kittens and puppies and he looked so freaking beautiful it was hard to believe – even though some drool were on it’s way down his chin and his hair looked more like a nest than actual hair. Maybe it was the innocence in his tired face that made this time different than all the others; it was an expression so unlike the usual flirty and cocky one, and for some reason it made your heart beat twice as fast as normal.
“Luke, you have to get up. You can’t just sleep on the floor,” you said, even though a lump in your throat made it quite hard to speak. He looks like an actual angel, you thought to yourself as he let out some unintelligible sounds.
“Luke, you have to go to bed. I can help you, if you want. Yeah, just like that, very good.” Talking to drunk Luke was like talking to a small child; you just had to talk with a sweet and soft voice, and he would do as you said. Or so you thought. Because today, you weren’t that lucky.
“I don’t want to go to bed,” he whispered in your ear as you’d finally made him stand up. You sighed and started to explain to him again, how important it was that he got some sleep and that you really didn’t wanna deal with a tired grumpy Luke with a hangover in the morning, until he added: “at least not alone.” At first you didn’t really get what he was saying, but it didn’t take you long.
“Do you want me to lay down with you?” you asked slowly, just to be sure. You knew that you were quite different from the girls he was usually attracted to and you didn’t want to jump to any conclusions that didn’t had anything to do with the truth. But he didn’t give you the explanation you had asked for. The only thing you got was a simple “yes”.
You were so close to declining, but then you looked at him and your stomach twirled and you just couldn’t get yourself to say no to those eyes. “alright, come on then.” And suddenly he had enough energy to not only laying down but also to brush his teeth quickly.
And when you had finally laid down, a satisfied sigh escaped his mouth as he scouted closer to you. “Mmm, you’re warm,” he whispered against your neck and chills ran up and down your spine. The feeling of his warm body against yours, your legs tangled up together, his arms around your hips and his fingers painting small patterns on your tummy feels a whole lot better than you ever imagined. It made you incredibly calm and on the same time it filled your stomach with butterflies. “I love you, ya know? I really, really, really, really, really love you Y/N.” His words were nearly impossible to hear, but you did and the warm spread throughout your body. Until you realized that he was drunk, that he probably had no idea what he was saying and you asked yourself why it made you feel like you were being stabbed with a dagger.
“You’re drunk, Luke.”
“I know. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what I’m saying. I just don’t have the fucking balls to tell you when I’m not under the influence of alcohol,” the blond guy answered, and suddenly he didn’t even sound drunk anymore.
You could feel the heat in your cheeks starting to feel like fire but you knew that it was a bad time to do the talk, that not only could destroy your great friendship but also could be the start of something new and amazing. “We’ll discuss this in the morning, Luke. Get some sleep and we’ll see.” And you both fell asleep with big grins on your lips, because who would have thought that nerdy Y/N and the biggest fuckboy on campus would end up being lovers.
-you were leaving your job at the coffee shop when you bumped into a guy with bright hair coming out from the stairway leading up to the apartment above
-as he helped you pick up your things you mused that we was lucky to be living above the cafe because it must always smell like coffee
-he casually says, “i mean, if you’re looking for a place, one of our rooms just opened up.”
-you stop and stare at him and he explains that his friend Luke moved in with his girlfriend so the rooms available and he was going to make a post about it online but he won’t even bother if you’re actually interested
-”you know what? yeah. i’m interested.”
-exchanging numbers and the next day you agree to see the apartment after a shift when he and his other two room mates will be there
-showing up with free coffee
-”i like you already coffee girl.” Ashton smirks as soon as he sees your offering of coffee
-you’re kinda shook because you had thought you’d only have to deal with one hot room mate, Michael, but his friends are hot too?!
-part of you is like dont move in because they’re all hot
-but part of you is like do move in because they’re all hot
-its a decent apartment
-like… a four bedroom, two bathroom with an open concept kitchen living room?
-and you were right about the smell of coffee
-and because there’s already three living there its actually fairly well priced because the rent is split four ways
-you’d have to share a bathroom with one of them but that’s not the worst thing
-and its right above your work.
-you hang out for a while, getting to know the guys to see if it would be a good fit
-”i’ll take it.” “really!?” group hug
-Ashton and Calum are super down to help you move all your stuff in but Michael isnt as down, he just chills in the living room and plays video games and yells at the guys about being careful
-when its all finished you all somehow manage to collapse onto the couch together and end up playing video games
-Calum’s actually a great cook?
-the first week is a bit difficult, getting used to people’s schedules and figuring out how to share a bathroom with Michael
-a week in and you’d already helped Michael dye his hair
-you hear a lot about their old room mate Luke and they all seem to be on the phone with him a lot, you gather that his whole new relationship apartment isnt working out
-you first meet Luke when you come home one day and he’s on the couch with Calum and he looks pretty rough
-but he still smiles and says hello
-he seems nice too
-you’re in your room later that night and you hear the other three in the kitchen talking about Luke.
-”i just don’t know what we can do.” “we can’t kick Y/N out.” “so where else can he go.” “i mean, he can stay in my room, its the biggest one-” “another guy living here? we need to talk to Y/N about it.”
-you peak your head out and are just like, “if Luke needs to move back in, i can find a new place-” but they’re all super against it.
-”i have space for him in my room, but having another guy here-” Ashton begins but you cut him off, “no, definitely. i don’t mind.”
-so Luke moves back in and stays in Ashton’s room which does have enough space for both
-Luke’s pretty beaten up about everything so a lot of just hanging out and making him feel better
-Michael spends way too much time playing video games in the living room
-and when he’s not there he’s in his bedroom talking to his team mates on pc games
-Ashton somehow fit an electric drum kit into his room so he can play without it being loud but somehow you can still hear his sticks hitting the pats and you feel bad for any girl who’s ass becomes that boys drum kit
-or jealous. jealous is a good word
-Calum’s pretty quiet but he’s a good room mate, always down to cook for you or listen to your problems
-he’s just a chiller
-Luke sings too loud in the shower
-and this boy could burn boiling water
-he’s kind of a walking human disaster
-movie nights where they all talk way too much
-they talk about making a band but never actually ever do it
-Ashton sometimes walks you to work. which sounds sweet but all he has to do is go down a flight of stairs so screw this guy
-your co workers all being jealous because they’re all so hot
-”thats your roommate?” “no i thought her roommate was that gorgeous blonde guy with the sad eyes.” “they both are.”
-they come down during your shifts sometimes to hang out, especially during the non-busy hours
-Ashton will flirt with your co-workers but Calum is the one you have to watch out for
-he’s quiet but all your coworkers are just so in love with his ‘dreamy eyes’
-they always draw smiley faces on his coffee cups when they make him coffee
-Luke comes down to be sweet and say hi and you’re coworkers call him “angel” because he’s beautifully angelic
-and then there’s Michael. he always knows how to make your coworkers laugh
-”oh my god did you see his smile?” “yes, i live with him.”
-you can never bring boys over because unless you sneak him into your room, the guys will for sure make a deal about it
-and if you bring girls over they’ll fawn over your room mates and that can be super annoying so no thank you
-its so weird when girls are over with them. i mean. they are 20 year old boys
-whenever you go into the living room in the morning to see Luke on the couch its not long before a girl runs out of Ashton’s room and out the front door
-they invite you to boys night clubbing
-on Fridays they do clubbing, you know that because the house is dead quiet on Saturday mornings because they’re all passed out
-finding Calum asleep on the kitchen counter one Saturday morning
-taking care of Michael in your shared bathroom because he’s puking
-watching Saturday cartoons and they all trudge into the room sooner or later
-Calum’s usually first and he likes to lay down with his head on your lap
-Luke likes tummy rubs when he’s hung over
-Ashton always try to make it seem like he’s not that hung over but lets just say cowboy hats and sunglasses are a Saturday thing
-so you go out on a friday
-and you end up being dragged onto the dance floor
-they’re all protective of you which means you somehow end up in the middle of all four
-Ashton knows how to sexy dance… hands
-Michael’s kinda awkward but its all good
-Luke is a puppy who just wants to dance with friends
-Calum looks bored most of the night but he also knows how to dance to the beat
-any guy that flirts with you has to watch out for these four showing up
-the night ends with all five of you just heading home together without any hook ups
-Calum carries you home while the other three drunkenly walk around you
-its so hard for all of them to try to fit through the front door at once
-Calum puts you in bed and goes back into the living room where they’re all kinda just like “are we going to talk about the fact that Y/N is sexy as fuck yet or are we going to continue to ignore the elephant in the room.”
-”we can not flirt with our roommate.” “why not?” “because…. just because.”
-now you’re the hung over one and they all want to take care of you
-Calum’s the first one to show up and you just drag him onto the bed to cuddle onto his chest
-so who’s going to cook you breakfast? Not Luke. that’s all i can say.
-Ashton cooks something and comes and sits at the foot of your bed with you and Calum
-Michael comes and jumps into the bed on the other side of you while Ashton makes room for Luke
-somehow you’re all fitting
-”you guys know you’re ruining my sex life right?” (Luke chokes on his water)
-Calum likes to walk around shirtless
-Michael sometimes walks in and goes pee while you’re in the shower
-trying to do the same thing to him and he screamed
-borrowing Ashton’s button ups sometimes because they are so sexy
-braiding Luke’s hair because with that much hair someone’s gotta braid it
-i feel like Calum and Ashton are the ones who do the shopping. you sometimes go with but it usually ends up with them chasing you around the store and Ashton trying to tell you how much sugar is in everything you’re buying because health is important
-impromptu dance parties with Luke where you both sing at the top of your lungs
-Calum walks in on the dance parties and sits down and watch with a grin, Ashton shows up and definitely makes the dancing more sexual whereas Michael just puts his face in his hands and laughs
-probably getting drunk one night and playing Never Have I Ever and Truth or Dare
-my 4/4 things always get to a point where you gotta choose one and i can’t do that for you so i gotta stop but if people want it i can continue this for each guy <3
————————————————————-POLY5SOS CON’T HERE
-so never have i ever
-these boys looked into Polyamory because they are so fucking wrecked that none of them can make a move because they made a pact
-”truth.” you say. “you’re no fun.” Michael groans but Ashton shushes him, turning to you, “what do you think about Polyamory?”
-you’re kinda taken aback by the question
-you expected something dirty but no?
-”well uhhhh…. i mean it’s an interesting idea. i think with the right communication it could work really well.” you kind of look at all your room mates because why the fuck was that a question
-the game continues and as soon as it’s one of their turns the question goes back to you again, “i really think you should give someone else a turn Mikey.” you laugh
-”nope, truth or dare?”
-you really don’t want a dare from Michael. like out of all of them he’s the one you’re sure would really try to mess with you
-”truth.” you sigh
-he is visibly upset that you chose truth but sighs, “would you be down for a poly relationship with all of us?”
-oooop. there it is.
-looking at all of them. “you guys totally planned this!” you scream
-”answer the question.” Michael grins
-you sigh, taking a swig of your choice of alcohol that you’ve been drinking this whole time, “well i mean we already all live together and you’re all hot as fuck so yeah probably.”
-you turn to Luke, “okay, you’re turn Luke. truth or dare?” and you know this little fuck is going to say truth because he hasn’t done a dare all night
-”truth.”
-”tell me who came up with this whole Poly thing. spill everything Luke. every. single. detail.”
-he looks at you and gulps then just begins to spill all the goods
-”Michael thought you were cute which is why he offered you a room and when you showed up and you were cute everyone freaked out a little but made a pact not to do anything about it but then Ashton was talking about Polyamory one day and we all looked into it and thought it was a good idea.”
-”so Ashton is the mastermind?”
-”yeah.”
-Ashton is just sitting there with a grin, “i still think its a good idea.”
-so now it’s Luke’s turn but how is he even going to ask anything, they’re all too shook that you would be down
-”umm… Ash, truth or dare?” Luke asks
-and of course Ashton is always down for a “dare”
-”kiss Y/N.”
-of fucking course
-you should have known that would also be part of their plan
-but you never thought Luke would betray you like that. “i mean, if you’re cool with it Y/N.” Luke clarifies. okay. he’s forgiven.
-you sigh and look at Ashton, “okay, go for it.”
-don’t have to tell this boy twice
-he moves closer and cups your face, bringing your lips to his
-his tongue slides against your bottom lip and then his teeth graze it too and you open your mouth slightly, leaning into the kiss
-it lasts longer than you intended
-only ending when Michael says “holy fuck.” and it snaps you out of this little Ashton world you were in
-you pull away and immediately feel yourself flush as Ash grins
-you can’t believe you’re doing this. with your roommates
-your work mates are going to shit a brick
-”so how would you guys want to do this?” you ask
-”it’s not your turn.” Michael laughs
-”screw this game, you guys accomplished what you wanted didn’t you?” you laugh, “seriously, how the fuck is this going to work?”
-having a long discussion about it
-Ash wants to go out and take you on a date but Luke and Michael are too tired, so it’s you, Ash and Cal
-they’re a dream team
-it’s a cute date, holding both of their hands
-getting back to the apartment… and like… they’ve been handsy all night
-ending up in your room
-yeah, they both dom as fuck
-of course the three of you wake up Michael and Luke who show up and are like “what the actual fuck.”
-so of course they join
-and it’s one big mass sex thing but it just works.
-waking up squished between two of them with the other two touching you somehow with an arm thrown over two bodies to get to you
-and they’re all so beautiful all sleepy
-ya’ll need to buy a bigger bed
-they’re all so cuddly
-they all groan a ton too because no one wants to wake up
-the entire pack walking you down the stairs to work
-they all want to be the last one to kiss you
-your work mates are shook as fuck
-they all go upstairs and are just like that was fucking wild
-Luke and Michael meet you after work and take you out for dinner for their date with you
-they’re also super sweet
-Michael teases you about getting some ‘sugar’ when you all get home
-getting there and Cal and Ash are gone
-so Muke threesome
-like, these boys tend to be home in pairs throughout the day and then everyone is usually home by dinner
-so dinners are a thing
-Cal usually cooks for all of you but you guys all try to help
-nudity is chill now that you’re all seeing each other
-like, so much nudity
-so much sex too
-and you’re all together so sex anywhere in the apartment
-Michael is a shower fucker because ya’ll share a bathroom
-Cal likes to eat on the kitchen counter and you’re his favourite meal
-Luke is a fan of the couch
-and Ashton will bend you over anywhere, he aint picky
-they get so used to just sex everywhere
-like Luke gets home and Cal has you on the kitchen counter, his face between your thighs and Luke just is like “hey” and Cal pulls away briefly to be like “sup.” before diving back in.
-Calum asking you and Luke which outfit to wear out while Luke fucks you into the couch, “the blue one or the grey one?” “fuck, Cal, the blue one.” “you like that babe? and yeah, Cal, the blue.”
-like lets be real here. the apartment becomes a sex dungeon.
-it would be hella.
-someone is always down for “the sex”
-hanging out 24/7
-im going to be real. im tired and have been sitting looking at this one for ages. imma stop it here, sorry fam. but sex. a lot.
omg if you’re down to continue the roommate things but with cal ksjsks I’d scream whoops
okay i am so freaking down and excited to do this, its a continuation of this HC(x) roommate!Ashton here (x) roommate!Luke here (x) roommate!michael here (x)
Dating Roommate!Calum
-Never Have I Ever gets the mood started but it’s quickly changed to Truth or Dare. They actually shy away from sexualizing you cuz these are respectable roommates but finally, the last truth of the night, Michael asks “if you had to date any one of us who would it be?”
-”come on you guys, you can’t be serious.” “we wanna know.” you get up and go to the kitchen getting a glass of water and sigh, “fine. Calum. it would be Calum.”
-they all just stare at Calum whose jaw is on the floor
-”guys please don’t make a big deal out of this.” you plead
-they all kinda put their hands up in defence, Luke’s the first to be like “okay well i’m going to bed!” and they all sort of follow suit until its just you and Calum.
-”seriously Cal, i’m sorry if i’ve made things weird-” you say, turning to look at him but then his lips are on yours (because we all love this sort of sappy shit)
-he’s a face cupper for your first kiss and no one can convince me otherwise
-pulling away slowly and he’s just like, “sorry if i’ve made things weird.” and you both just get all giggly
-you both kinda go to your separate bed room doors and you’re finally just like, “wanna come in?”
-he’s at your door in an instant.
-you’ve had this gorgeous man in your bed many times before so its not awkward when you both just collapse onto the bed and go into immediate cuddle position
-”you know, if i had to choose a room mate to date, i’d choose you too.”
-smacking his chest and laughing
-he just pulls you to his chest and the laughter dies out and you just bask in his warmth
-falling asleep like that
-waking up perfectly cuddled next to him and just getting to look at his beautiful face
-he wakes up and is confused for a second because he’s in your room but then his grip tightens on you
-”want to go out on a date?” “i thought you’d never ask.”
-going into the kitchen and everyone kinda stares at you two.
-”did you guys seriously just cuddle all night?” “Michael you can’t ask questions like that!” “what?! come on, my room is right next to hers i would have heard something!”
-you end up going on a date, something not coffee related
-and of course it goes amazing because you’re already friends
-coming back to your apartment and going into your room
-not coming out for hours
-the others get home and all they can hear is loud music from your room but they know whats up
-like yeah they were all into you but you chose Cal. and they’re good friends. so they’re supportive.
-finally coming out and being all giggly and everyone is just like “aw”
-he walks you to work (again, why do these boys think its such a huge gesture when its honestly not….)
-and when he drops you off with a kiss all your coworkers scream when you come in
- “you finally chose one!” “he’s the cutest one!” “who had money on Calum?” “i did, ya’ll owe me money.”
-your coworkers won’t shut up about him all day
-but roommate relationships can be odd at the start because you live together so there isnt as much time alone
-but you and Cal are really respectful of each others space
-messaging each other from your rooms
-everyone heading to sleep and you both go to separate rooms, only for one of you to sneak out a little while later and go to the others room
-being caught by Luke, Ashton and Michael mid sneak
-”okay Y/N sharing the bathroom with you has got like ten times harder now that you and Calum shower together.” “Michael i’m not sure its that bad.” “i can’t get clean in that shower anymore!”
-after a month with Calum in your room almost every night you guys talk it over and decide to move his stuff to your room so Luke doesn’t have to share with Ashton anymore
-Luke is so thankful
-”wow, living together, that’s a big step.” Ashton jokes
-Calum teaches you how to cook
-he usually cooks shirtless and you begin cooking with him in just his shirt and the others thought it was cute at first but they start to hate it after a while
-because he’s just so damn sexy shirtless cooking and you’re so damn cute in that shirt so usually you end up turning the stove off (safety first) and making out
-yeah kitchen sex is a thing you both are into
-but its tough finding time when the others are away (or asleep)
-they walk in on you two making out a lot in the kitchen and they always make a huge deal about it
-”there are children in this apartment!” “i’m not a child.” “yes you are Luke.”
-movie nights where you cuddle the entire time and the other three kinda glare and get jealous
-the others walk in to your room way too much. they’re not used to you and Calum being a thing
-”Mate! Piss off!” “Y/N where is my button up?” “at least cover your eyes or something! also that girl from two nights ago took it.”
-stealing Calum’s hoodies and shirts because yes
-and they probably smell like him
-and this guys hands are so nice
-and the tattoos
-suddenly being able to just trace his tattoos like you’ve always wanted to
-and those adoring eyes
-so full of happiness because of you
-”okay Calum, if you’re going to leave hickies, please put them somewhere we can’t see.” “its bad enough that Michael has to sleep on the other side of the wall from you two.”
-lots of cuddles
-he’s so cute
-like you’d always known that he was pretty against relationships
-so the fact that he’s with you is shocking but shows how much he loves you
-the first time he says ‘I love you’ you’re heading out somewhere and he lets it slip as you go out the door and all of you just stop and stare at him
-throwing your bag down, running across the apartment into his arms and kissing him, “i love you too.”
-you leave and everyone lets out an “aw”
-trying to do date nights but someone is always home
-except the first night you don’t go to boys night
-the boys are so distressed, boys night without you and Calum?!
-agreeing to go out every second week to boys night
-clubbing with Calum and he’s so good at dancing, grabbing your hips and moving your body to the beat
-you always leave early tho and the boys all whistle as you do because they know where you’re going and what you’re doing ;)
-sometimes when you and Cal are going at it Michael will start banging on the wall and making sexual noises because it always throws the both of you off
-he likes slow dancing with you to music in your room
-roommate!Cal is just a sweetie
-Cal is just a sweetie okay
-oh my god. if he ever proposes you gotta know everyone is going to help him out with it
-but i cant get into that rn but it would be so cute
-i feel like these always end with me forcing myself to stop or this will continue forever
the roommate|AU is EVERYTHING! pretty pls continue it with Michael
continuation of this post. Cal. Ash. Luke.
Dating roommate!au Michael
-okay so you’d always felt close to Michael, after all, he’s the one who offered you the apartment.
-playing video games together a lot
-him teaching you how to play if you’re not really a video game person
-going to talk to him in his room while he’s playing something online, as far as you can see they’re in the waiting room before the game starts so he has time to talk. you can hear his friends in the background and one of them is like “oooh is that you’re hot roommate!?” someone else says “ask her out already!”
-Michael fumbles to turn the sound off and turns to you, blushing hardcore.
-”your gaming friends know about me?” you tease.
-”sorry you had to hear that.” Michael says, still blushing.
-you ask him the thing you wanted to ask and you turn to leave then stop, turning back and leaning on the doorframe, “so when are you going to ask me out?”
-he almost falls out of his chair
-he’s a stuttering mess but ends up being like, “tonight maybe? i mean unless you’re busy, you’re probably busy-” “tonight works.” “yeah?” “yeah.”
-you close the door but hear his friends screaming in the background
-”did you just get Michael to ask you out?” Ashton asks. you shrug. he lets out a long sigh, “finally, we’ve been trying to get him to ask you out for ages.” Calum nods, “that was smooth.”
-you and Michael both want opinions on your outfits for the date so Luke, Cal and Ash go from your room to his back and forth with each outfit change
-finally Ashton is just like “you’re both freaking out way too much. you’re roommates, you’ve both seen each other in sweatpants, when you’re sick, hell, you’ve walked in on Michael naked in the bathroom one morning already. it doesn’t matter. you both look great just go on your stupid date already!”
-i mean true tho
-you end up just walking around and ending up in a park somewhere just sitting on a bench and talking
-its like almost any other hang out until he’s like “can i kiss you?”
-you nod and he just grabs you face
-its a soft kiss, the type of kiss that sucks the air from your lungs and makes you dizzy, the kiss where you pull away smiling and giggling, feeling giddy like its your first kiss in the world
-”wow.” “you can say that again.”
-when you both stand up you grab each others hands, more giggling because its the weirdest thing. when something that feels so right has been under your nose without you realizing it. its crazy
-you never really realized it before but he looks at you with such adoration
-knowing that this boy loves you
-going back home and ending up playing video games
-”look Y/N i took a bullet for you.” “We both died.” “yeah but i died first, i can’t control what happens after im dead!”
-”you look so intense when you play video games.” “intense about you!” “that doesn’t make any sense.” “so?”
-watching something on his computer while in his bed and you end up falling asleep cuddled against him
-he’s so soft for you and he doesn’t want to wake you up
-waking up in the morning next to him and his hair is sticking up every way but he’s still so pretty
-pressing a soft kiss to his lips and he wakes up with a smile
-”am i dreaming?” “no.” “good.”
-staying in bed forever just talking
-”i’m so glad i bumped into you that day.” “me too.”
-”god what if you never moved in. what if that never happened? life would be so different.”
-”it feels like divine intervention or something.” “like fate?” “yeah. fate.”
-”we should get up.” “no, just a few more minutes. i don’t want to let you go.”
-because your rooms are next to each others no one notices you both leaving from Michaels room.
-but they do notice the staring and the smiling and the blushing
-Ashton is the one who is finally just like, “what’s going on with you two?” but that sly grin on his face tells you he’s already guessed it, besides they all know you went on the date
-Michael is all blushy about it
-i feel like out of all of them, Michael probably needs to most alone time? (maybe Cal but idk) but Michael is down with you two hanging out and not necessarily talking
-chilling on his bed while he games and you’re on your computer or your phone
-playing music while you chill and if its a song you both love you’ll put down your electronics and sing together
-you’re just so comfortable being together
-silences aren’t awkward
-”you dyed your hair red!” “yeah i wanted it to reflect my mood.” “aw baby are you mad? are you okay?” “shit… it was supposed to be red for in love.”
-he tries so hard
-so fam i dunno i’ve read a lot os smut where Michael is a power dom and shit but i’ve also read the soft stuff so i’d say roommate!michael is probably into the softer stuff with someone he really truly loves but has the capacity to be hella dom (especially into toys) if his partner is
-yeah he loves electronics
-so he’d be the kinky asshole who gives you vibrating panties
-could you imagine wearing them at work because he’s literally the floor above the coffee shop and he forgets he has the remote and accidentally sets in on high
-okay might have to write that smut now because damn thats an idea
-wow. i have to take a break writing this after that whole vibrating panty thing, maybe a cold shower cuz damn
-does he really accidentally set in on high though or is that just an excuse he tells you? ;)
-he comes down to visit you sometimes and plays around on his phone at a table, smiling at you a lot
-”i knew it would be him, he was the OG roommate.” “they literally bumped into each other right outside work.” “fuck, it could have been me if i’d had a shift that day.”
-he calls you kitten
-dont fight me on this. kitten. princess. sweetheart. kill me now.
-he’s so understanding. like if you have issues like depression or anxiety you bet your ass this guy is HERE for YOU
-chocolate? CHECK
-”wanna talk about it babe?” CHECK
-”aw honey come cuddle, let me make you feel better.” CHECK
-”i bought you this flower because i know it’s your favourite.” CHECK
-okay so you always use to share a bathroom but now… it gets even better
-and the best part is none of the other guys have to know how often you go to bone town because they don’t share the bathroom with you two
-i feel like he’d be down for shower sex
-his eyes going so wide the first time one of you almost slips and dies but laughing it off… however he will not fuck up like that again (goes and buys a non slip shower mat)
-he loves nudity, so coming out of the shower sometimes and he’s just there like “i missed you.” “come on Michael you wanted to see my boobs.” “well yeah, i love your boobs.”
-or you brushing your teeth and he comes out of the shower and hugs you and gets you all wet… in more ways than one *wink wonk bitches
-sharing hoodies
-being that couple that goes to the gas station at 2AM for candy in onesies
-god its like i’m trying to pimp myself out to Michael and i am swerving into this boys lane like a motherfucker right now. i gotta stop. what a BAE
yooo roommate!ashton would so be the type of guy if he heard a loud thud while you were in the bathroom and he rushed to find you curled in the fetal position whimpering because oh shit you think you broke your arm but you’re also naked so he’d involuntarily scream out apologies while throwing his hands to his face because - hell, no matter how great you look in your birthday suit - his mama raised him right. but even with his eyes closed he’d still try to help you - despite his fumbling hands, accidental groping, and every word uttered from his mouth being an ongoing stream of “sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry-”
I rubbed my eyes and found a wobbly Calum in front of me.
“Psssstttt. Y/n.”
I groaned and pulled the covers over my head, ignoring him.
“Y/n,” he whined.
I flipped the covers over, sat up and glared at him, “What?”
He looked at me with sadness in his eyes, “I can’t sleep in my bed.”
I rolled my eyes and brushed the hair out of my face as his figure remained unbalanced, “Youre blankets are in the dryer.”
He frowned and then sat on the floor.
“I’m not getting up to fix your bed Cal.”
He groaned and then stood up, “Fine then.”
I expected him to leave my room and sleep on the couch but instead he lifted the covers next to me and climbed in.
“Then I’ll sleep with you.”
I decided not to fight him, knowing that I didn’t have the energy for it. Instead, I flopped back down and pulled the covers back up, “Okay.”
He looked at me in surprise and then whispered a thank you with a lingering hint of alcohol.
He moved closer and then turned his head to look at me.
“What Calum?”
He smiled his dunk, lopsided smile, “I wanna snuggle.”
I groaned but didn’t object.
His arms snaked around my waist and pulled me closer. He then proceeded to tangle his legs in mine and I hissed at his cold feet. He laughed lightly before he relaxed completely.
I let myself get comfortable in his arms and then allowed myself to drift off to sleep.
“Y/n?” he whispered.
I hummed back at him.
“I wanna kiss you, Y/n.” he whispered again.
“Yer drunk Cal. Sleep.” I managed to mumble.
His lips kissed the spot underneath my ear and he whispered, “I’d ask even if I was sober too.”
I hummed again and mumbled a sure. I was too sleep to say anything else. And if I’m being honest, I liked the way his plump lips felt on my bare skin.
College Roommate with your best friend Calum and he comes to you saying, "would you mind? i just need someone right now.” Just thought of the change of scene, since usually it's Y/N who is asking for comfort.
It was easy to tell whenCalum had had a bad day.
Because your flat wascompletely silent. There was no TV forgotten about and left to play randomsitcoms, no music blaring from Calum’s speakers, none of his team matesrandomly appearing from various rooms. You’d get home to an eerie quiet thatwasn’t comforting or peaceful; it was strange when you were so used to havingsuch a boisterous best friend and roommate.
You put your things onyour bed before hesitantly making your way into his room, pushing open the doorcarefully to find him lying face down on the mattress, still in his sweatsafter football practise.
“Cal?” You call softly,his head turning to the side to show he was listening. “Wanna cuddle?”
“Would you mind?”He mumbles, opening his eyes to look up at you. “I just need someone right now.”
You don’t say anythingelse, shutting the door behind you and stripping down and pulling on hisdiscarded jersey, crawling onto the bed beside him. You lie on your back as herepositions himself, burying his face in the crook of your neck and wrappinghis arms around your waist, your fingers tangling in his hair to massage hisscalp lightly.
“They’re gonna make meCaptain.” He mumbles against your skin, causing you to furrow your eyebrows. “Ryantold me after practise, the official vote and announcement’s being made nextweek, but he took a poll and the only person not voting for me is me.”
“That’s brilliant Cal.”You reply, confused as to why he was in this mood if he’d received such greatnews. “This is everything you’ve been working for, why are you-“
“What if I’m not good enough?”
You’d never known Calumto doubt his abilities. Ever since you’d met, he’d radiated confidence, fromfootball to girls, he’d never questioned whether he’d win or lose. Calum knewhow much he excelled at whatever he did, always setting his mind to success inwhatever life threw at him. So to have him now wonder if he was enough, if hereally was as talented as he thought, almost rendered you speechless. Because therewas a reason for his confidence, and it was that he really was as good aseveryone, including him, made him out to be.
“Of course you are.” Youreply, hands moving to his face to pull him up to eye level. “You’re CalumHood. You’ve broken records for the amount of times you’ve been awarded Man ofthe Match, you scored the most goals in the league last year, and it’s lookinglike you’ll do it again this year. You have never missed practise, and youalways make sure to encourage your team mates no matter what the game aheadlooks like. If anything, you’re toogood.”
“Good job I’ve got myown personal cheerleader.” He smiles at you, and you grin back as he twists hisface to kiss your palm. “And good luck charm. And driver. And best friend. Androommate. And-“
“Yeah yeah,” You laugh,Calum beaming at you. “I get the picture.”
