Ashton: nervously, you fiddle with the rings on your fingers. You can't remember the last time you were this anxious. Your friend nudges you, pulling you out of your trance. "I think we're about to go in!" She whispers, making your heart beat even harder than it was before. You've already been briefed on the rules of the meet and greet, so there's nothing left to do but enter the room. Taking a deep breath, you manage a grin. You're about to meet your favourite band, and you're terrified.
Excited murmurs from the other four girls that you're with fill the small corridor as the security guard leads you into the room.
"These are the girls that won the competition," the guard says, but you can't see who to. You're hiding behind the other girls, scared to let the boys see your face.
One by one the other girls introduce themselves, until you're the only one left.
"I- I'm [Y/N]." You stammer, your voice barely audible. Your friend gives your hand a squeeze and you attempt a smile.
"You don't seem to sure of that, babe," Ashton says softly. He just called you babe. Your mind is whirling.
"I-I'm just a- a little nervous." You manage, and Ashton grins at you. He has the most beautiful smile.
"Here," he says, leaning forward and taking your hand, "come sit down."
Ashton leads you over the the large sofas and sits down, beckoning for you to sit next to him. The rest of the group follow his lead, and soon there's on huge, loud conversation going on.
"Hey, [Y/N]?" Ashton whispers in your ear without anybody noticing.
"Yeah?" You whisper back, hoping everyone else is too involved in the conversation to notice yours and Ashton's private conversation.
"Will you meet me after this? Alone I mean?"

Calum: it's almost impossible to stop your itching fingers from playing with the meet and greet pass that hangs on a lanyard around your neck. You and your best friend have been impatiently waiting for over an hour to be let into the little room at the end of the corridor, and you're not sure how much longer you can handle the suspense.
Finally, a security guard comes along to tell you that the boys are almost ready and that someone will be letting you into the room in the next five minutes. The two of you almost jump for joy.
None other than Calum Hood opens the door for you. His eyes fix on you and he seems to freeze for a moment. His lips are parted as if he was about to say something, but no sound comes out. After a minute he blinks and grins widely at you, a slight blush creeping up his cheeks. He pulls the door open a little more and gestures for you to follow him inside.
You're met with a chorus of 'hey's' and 'hi's' the second you enter the room.
Introductions are quickly made and conversation starts immediately - there's barely a second of silence for the next thirty minutes.
---
"We better be going, [Y/N]," your friend states. You glance at the time and realise it has gotten pretty late. You don't want to leave - meeting your favourite band has been everything you wanted and more.
"Hey, um, [Y/N]?" Calum blurts before you get a chance to say anything.
"Yeah, Calum?"
"Will you, uh, will you walk with me to the dressing room? I wanna... show you something."
Michael wolf whistles and raises his eyebrows suggestively, earning a glare from Calum.
"Shut up, Michael. It's nothing like that!" He protests, but his face has turned a deep shade of red. His eyes flicker back to you expectantly.
You smile, attempting to hide your nerves. "Of course I'll walk with you. Let's go."

Luke: there are thousands of people at this signing. You doubt you'll even get two minutes to talk to the band individually.
"Move along, miss," one of the security guards says, pulling you out of your thoughts. You shuffle forward in the queue, realising you've gotten pretty close to the front while you've been daydreaming.
You glance over at the boys, your eyes fixing on Luke - your favourite member. He looks up and for a second you could swear he locks eyes with you before you hastily look away. When you dare to look back he is still looking your way, and your eyes meet once again.
"Keep moving," the security guard says, making you break the moment. When you next look back Luke is signing autographs again.
When you finally get to the table, you do as instructed and take four glossy pictures from the piles on the ends - one of each of the boys.
Ashton is up first. He asks you how your day has been and thanks you for being here and leans over to give you a quick hug. Then there's Michael, who cracks a joke and draws an inappropriate picture on the image of himself. Next is Calum. He smiles widely at you and apologises for Michael being such an idiot, then leans over and kisses your cheek.
Now you've gotten to Luke. He smiles up at you, his blue eyes sparkling. "Hi," you manage, your hand shaking as you pass him the picture. He shakes his head, confusing you. "I already signed on for you, babe," he says quietly. He hands you a picture and smiles at you again before leaning over the table to hug you.
Dazed, you wander away from the table and look down at the picture of Luke. On it he had written 'in a room of a thousand people, you caught my eye. you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I would really like to see you again, so here's my phone number'
You stare at the number disbelievingly. Should you call it?

Michael: there's about 100 of you waiting to go into the arena to listen to 5sos' soundcheck. You're second in line - right behind your best friend. Hopefully that meant that you would get in the front row.
You follow the guard into the arena and sit down. The entire group filled the first five rows, and you're lucky enough to be right at the front.
Soon the boys are on stage performing beside you, and you're overwhelmed with excitement.
Now came the Q&A section of the afternoon. The boys sat on the front of the stage and you all sat down in your seats. They were so close to you it was unbelievable.
Hands all over the arena shot up, everyone having questions for them, but yours remained in your lap. You're too nervous and overwhelmed to speak right now.
The guard chooses the girl next to your friend to ask a question, bringing everyone's eyes in your direction. The girl directs her question at Ashton, who answers and then finishes with "don't you agree, Mike?" Turning everyone's attention to Michael. Michael is completely out of it. His eyes are focused on you, and you have no idea what to do.
"Uh, Mike?" Ashton says with a slight laugh. Michael shakes his head and looks to Ashton, dropping your eye contact.
"Y-yeah. I do."
Michael's attention keeps falling on you for the rest of the session, making your heart race.
When the soundcheck ends you are told to quietly make your way out of the arena, but it isn't a quick process. The back rows go first, then finally your row starts to slowly edge out.
"Wait!" A familiar voice shouts from on the stage. Michael.
"You- I don't know your name but- will you come with me? Please?" He shouts, pointing directly at you.
