"Okay so they're probably just going to focus on the new album and ask about how tour is going. I think I heard them say something about answering fans questions on Twitter-jesus do you guys even know what your doing?" Ashton pulled Michael to him who was closest and fixed his mic, then turned to Calum and blushes slightly as he fixed his as well.

He turned to do the same for Luke but Luke pulled away from him. "I can do it." He mumbled and Ashton rolled his eyes, crossing his arms.

"Clearly." He muttered to himself as he watched Luke struggle to keep it on his shirt.

"3 minutes guys!" Someone shouted and Calum and Michael got situated on the small couch.

"Just come here Luke." Ashton grumbled and pulled him forward, messing with the now tangled microphone until it was on properly. "Ok now hurry up and sit down." Ashton fixed Luke's shirt before pushing him towards the couch where he took a seat.

"30 seconds!" The stage crew yelled and Ashton quickly went off to the side, behind the camera crew so he was out of the way but could still watch the interview.

The man started counting down when he got to 10 and pointed to the interviewer, signaling that they were live.

Ashton just leaned against the wall and went on his phone, waiting till the interview was over. There was nothing out of the ordinary, from what little Ashton heard when he payed attention, the interview went great. The boys didn't swear too much, and there was no invasive questions.

The only thing that Ashton would change would be Luke glancing at him every once in a while. He kept making faces, the people watching probably thought he was weird now, well I mean he was but, yeah.

When the interview finally ended the boys took off the mics gratefully and handed them to a stage hand.

"Okay what else do we have today?" Calum asked, making Ashton's cheeks tint a light pink.

"Uh, that's it for today, y-you guys have the rest of the day to do whatever you want." The three boys all cheered and Ashton couldn't help but chuckle.

"But just remember that you have to be up and ready to leave tomorrow by 10." Ashton quickly reminded.

"Yeah, okay." Luke said and Ashton turned to him, crossing his arms.

"I'm serious Luke. I swear if you aren't up tomorrow then we'll leave you behind." Luke pouted and Ashton couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, let's go lovebirds." Michael said and wrapped an arm around Ashton's shoulders to pull him outside where their car was waiting.

They were engulfed by screams the moment the doors were opened and they all eagerly went over to take pictures and sign whatever was handed to them.

Ashton held the stuff fans gave to them happily while they took pictures and he couldn't help but smile fondly at the three of them, they were really dedicated and Ashton admired that.

There was suddenly a bright flash in Ashton's face and he squinted his eyes, turning to see that there was now also some paparazzi here as well.

He didn't know why they were taking photos of him but he just turned around and tried to ignore them.

"Hey kid! Who are you? Are you Michael's boyfriend?!"

"How old are you!?"

"Are you one of the boys' secret boyfriend?!"

Ashton sighed and tried to keep his gaze away from the cameras. I guess it would look weird for a random person to show up out of the blue and hang out with the boys all of a sudden without the media catching up to it. I mean they were celebrities, the world knew almost their every move.

The crowd started to get crazy as the fans finally noticed Ashton and then started screaming questions at him as well.

Ashton swallowed thickly, he wasn't used to this much attention. He felt an arm wrap around his waist and he looked up to see Michael guiding him through the crowd.

"Just ignore them." He leaned down to whisper in his ear and Ashton nodded.

The paparazzi seemed to be having a field day now that Michael had an arm around Ashton.

For all the world knew, Calum and Luke were straight. Michael was the only one who had come out as bi.

It wasn't like Luke was hiding the fact that he was bi, but the topic had never really came up.

Which was probably the reason all the girls started squealing in excitement, probably thinking the paps were right and Ashton was Michael's new special someone.

The boys all got into the awaiting van and Luke didn't seem too happy.

"You know this is all people are going to be talking about now, don't you? They're going to think you two are dating." He grumbled and Michael shrugged.

"It's really easy to just tell people the truth, you know?" Michael mocked but then laughed. "I'll just tweet something tonight about it." He murmured but Luke didn't answer.

And Luke wasn't lying either, by the time they were back to the hotel everyone was blowing up about it.

"How does it even travel that fast?" Ashton wondered aloud to himself.

"Just the way it is." Calum mumbled, his mood seemed to be dimmed as well and Ashton was really confused.

He really couldn't keep up with these boys.
