Calum:

He never expected to have romantic feelings for you. His band's opening act. In his mind, he thanked whoever organized it, but he also wished they didn't.

You were so nice to your fans. When 5SOS was performing, you'd casually go into the crowd, singing along to the songs and acting just like a fan. While 5SOS would be setting up, you'd take pictures with your fans and say "hi" to everyone.

Unfortunately, when he saw you in the crowd, he messed up a note. His bandmates looked at him, confused, but the show went on.

They approached him backstage. "Mate, every time (y/n) is in the crowd, you mess up a note." Ashton said.

"What?" Calum pretended to be confused.

"You know that. We can tell you're crazy about her." Luke replied. "We're not going to tell her, but you might want to before it's too late. You don't meet a girl like her every day." With that, they left Calum to think.

Calum walked over to you. "Hey, sorry, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Oh, sure!" You replied before saying goodbye to the fans you were talking to. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. Uh, I have to tell you something. I--" he closed his eyes before shaking his head. "I really enjoy having you around. Do you want to hang out with us tomorrow?"

You nodded. You would be lying if you said you didn't feel a bit disappointed. "Yeah, of course." You smiled at him.

"Okay, I'll let you know what time we'll be at your hotel room to go." He said.

"Alright." You heard someone calling your name. "I have to go, I'll see you later." You smiled at him once more before walking away. Calum sighed and went to his friends.

"How did it go?" Michael asked. Calum shook his head. "She rejected you?"

"No, I backed out of it. I asked if she wanted to hang out with us tomorrow." The bassist replied.

"Don't worry, we can help you." Michael smirked, making Calum confused.

"Wait, you're not going to make me go alone, are you?"

"Maybe."

Ashton:

"Are you ready to meet the band you're opening for?" Your manager asked. "They were here, so, I asked them if they could meet you." You nodded, smiling. "Great, I'm going to let them in now." He opened the door and let them enter the room. "Come on in, guys."

You shook the blonde's hand -- Luke, then the dark-haired one's hand -- Calum, the one with the piercing's hand -- Michael. You held out your hand and looked at the last male. Your breath hitched as you stared at him. You quickly pulled yourself together and said "hello" as he shook your hand.

"Hello," he replied. "I'm Ashton, the drummer."

"I'm (y/n)." You smiled at him.

"So," your manager began. "You'll be opening up for them. Is everything good?"

Your head quickly moved to look at your manager and you nodded. "Yes, that's great."

"Perfect." He smiled. He looked at the four boys. "Thank you for meeting her, I don't want to stop you from your schedule."

"Yeah, of course." Ashton grinned. "I hope we can all get to know each other, it would be great to have friends on tour."

"I agree." You beamed.

Once the boys left the room, Ashton sighed. Michael glanced at him. "What's wrong? I thought you liked her."

"I do and that's the problem. It's going to be hard seeing her every day and keeping thing professional."

"You're in love with her?"

"No," Ashton quickly replied. "Of course not. You know that it takes more than that. I'm just interested in her."

"Just try to enjoy the tour with her." Michael responded. "At the last show, if you still haven't, ask for her number."

"Yeah." Ashton nodded before one of the boys loudly mentioned food.

Luke:

Luke sighed, running a hand through his hair. Calum looked at him. "What's got you so stressed? We're going on tour tomorrow!"

"I think that is the reason for my stress." The taller answered. "We're supposed to be on tour, man. I know I should be happy but it's different having your ex open for you."

"Dude, I thought it was a mutual break up."

"It was. I don't have any negative feelings towards her, it's just... Awkward." Luke shrugged his shoulders, unsure if he was explaining himself well.

"Listen, mate," Calum sighed. "I know it's awkward. You don't have to interact with her, though. Will it make you seem rude? Maybe. But, you don't have to talk to her. Just act nice in front of the fans, that's all." He said even though he, personally, would never follow his own advice.

"Okay." The singer nodded. "I can do this. I have to be professional."

"If it helps, she might feel awkward about this, too." Calum pat the other on the back before getting up and walking away. Luke got up to go talk to you and maybe figure out how to survive the tour.

Michael:

"Dude, you're staring."

"What?" Michael turned to look at Luke.

"You're staring at (y/n) or Calum, which one is it?" The taller asked.

"I'm not staring at either of them." Michael sighed. "They're probably dating, so I was observing love."

"What?" Luke asked, shocked. His eyes widened. "You have no proof. I kind of thought you and her would be good together."

"Yeah, well, obviously not. You have no idea how we would be." Michael rolled his eyes. "It doesn't matter."

"I think it does." Luke responded, seeing the elder's reaction. He glanced to you and Calum on the stage, your back pressed against his chest as he taught you a chord on the bass guitar.

"It doesn't." Michael got up from his seat in the venue, grabbing his water bottle.

"Michael," Luke began. He followed him. "You obviously have feelings for her. I'm sure it's nothing more than platonic, just talk to her."

"And if he likes her? I'm not coming between what could be." The tattooed male shook his head.

"Then, talk to him. Get his feelings on her first." Luke sighs. "If it turns out bad, I'll be here. If it turns out great, I'll still be here. Don't look back and wonder what could have happened."

Michael glanced at you and found you walking away. Maybe Luke was right.
