As I closed the door to the clown car that somehow drove 4 giants on a hell of a roadtrip, I was kind of sad that we were back. Calum stretched out his shoulders as he yawned, "I need several days of sleep and a chiropractor appointment."

I lightly chuckled at his comment as I made my way to the back of the boot where Luke was taking out his suitcase and then my duffel bag, "Why are you taking out my bag?" I questioned him, genuinely confused about his motives.

He just smiled at me as I watched him slowly drop it on the top of his suitcase, "Don't you want to come home with me?" He teased as I shook my head in a playful manner.

"Don't you think it's a bit early for us to be moving in together?"

"I didn't say we were moving in." He winked at me as he lifted the handle of his suitcase and started rolling it away.

"HEY!" I yelled at him as I chased after him, "THIEF! THIEF!"

Ashton opened up the car door which blocked Luke from rolling his suitcase to Calum's front door. "Uh, uh" Ashton shook his head in disapproval as he stepped out of the car, a smirk forming on his face. "Calum and I want some alone time in the house before you two love birds come crashing in and make a mess."

Luke and I looked at each other with the same thought, "EW!" Luke exclaimed.

I went up behind Luke and put my hand over his eyes, "Yeah, not in front of the children!"

Ashton couldn't help but cackle at our idiocy as Calum yelled at us to come in as he opened up the front door to his house. "Race ya" Ashton blurted out as he slammed the car door shut and ran.

Luke and I tripped over our own feet and the suitcase before finally making it to the front door and stepping into Calum's place to find Ashton topping Calum in a makeout session on the brown leather couch.

"Well, there's always Calum's room..." I say, cocking my head towards Luke who wore a mischievous grin on his face. I narrowed my eyes at him, "What are you thinking, Hemmings."

And in one quick motion, he swoops me up by my legs and throws me over his shoulder. "Hey! Put me down!" I lightly throw fist his back and kick my legs.

He hushes me like a baby, "Ssshhh, it's okay Mikey. I won't drop-" This loser takes one step forward and his legs almost buckle, nearly dropping me and I couldn't help but laugh at his tomfoolery.

"I do not trust you in this moment, I swear to god you are like a newborn giraffe trying to take his first steps!" I joked, as he lightly smacked my bum for insulting him.

"You will regret that," His voice still playful but I knew some seriousness lingered within that sentence as he started walking towards Calum's bedroom and threw me onto the soft and bouncy bed.

He turned around, making sure to close and lock the bedroom door so nobody could interrupt us. I sat up on the bed as he walked back with an eyebrow raised, "Lay down, I didn't say you could get up yet." And I chuckled at his words.

"I haven't even gotten your phone number, Luke. That's the first step in taking this relationship further." I say, trying to be smooth in my number-clutching moves. "Unless you just want to be another one-night stand of mind." I sighed as I watched his face freak out from the banter as he pulled out his phone and shoved it in my face.

"Here."

"I wasn't serious, I-"

"Put in your number, idiot." He chuckled. I grabbed his phone from his grasp and typed in my contact details, making sure to add a '<3' next to my contact name, 'Mikey <3'. I made sure to quickly text myself so I had his number too and I could save it into my contacts later (since my phone was flat and out of battery).

I handed the phone back to him with a satisfied 'Done!' and he slid it into his back pocket. He then started to straddle me and sat in my lap. I bit my bottom lip as I looked him up and down before remarking, "You know, I'm the top right?"

He chuckled again, "Absolutely not! Do you know how many times I've topped you with ease?"

I fakely pondered, knowing the amount of times was 0 since we never went the whole way. "Like, never."

He scoffed, "Sure, Clifford. You're definitely a submissive."

"No fucking way, I'm not a fucking submissive in our relationship."

"Well I'm definitely not, I'm a big scary dom."

"You're literally like a lost puppy."

"Am not."

"Are too!"

He paused, before grinning down at me. "Loser!"

"Hey that's my line!" He pushed me onto the bed so he could now lay on top of me. "If we're going to have sex, I get to top this time. It'll be to make up for that one time I shittily topped you." He paused again to think about the offer before shaking his head 'no'.

"How about we sleep instead?" He says, and I nod in agreement.

"Sounds like a date."
