Hey bestie. <3 am I the only one who gets the feeling that Luke walks the same path Ash's walking or gets in his way on purpose to receive some kind of affection or attention from Ash? Like a hug, high five, or a slight touch on the shoulders or back, ... :(( He doesn't do that with Cal and Mike.
Hey Anon!
Omg yeah, it’s totally different than him and Calum and Michael. I think he either does it on purpose, or their minds are connected like that. And not only Luke, but I think Ashton is also seeking him out. It’s definitely very two-sided. I think them both finding each other’s paths is very natural for them.
And the attention Luke gets??? It can be as unconscious as a brush on the back (or practically a hand on his ass), to Ashton power walking over to fucking pick him up. And you’re right, they’re always in affection cause idk about you, but I don’t show my affection to my best friend like that. (Not consistently anyway.)
I guess sometimes we see him with Michael and Calum, and they have little moments like that—either while performing or giving flowers or hugs or something, but iddddkk……. the Muke and Cake moments are lackluster in my opinion. And the Lashton moments by comparison are just so supercharged they end up feeling like displays of affection we shouldn’t be able to witness, if that makes any sense.
So, yeah, bestie, I think you’re really on to something here. Also thank you for the ask cause I’ve been dying to talk about this if you can’t tell. I just think Ashton subtly touching Luke…💭🤍✨🫠♥️

Hey guys! I just watched this video and I found a lot of cute Malum moments that I wanted to show you.
1. Michael says Flynn Rider is cute.
2. Cal and Michael were team Big Nuts when they were playing a game in an interview.
3. Michael doesn’t want to see his past relationships.
4. Michael tweeted that he likes Cal’s biceps.
5. In his birthday tweet to Cal Michael jokes about seeing Cal’s penis.
6. Michael likes a TikTok about a girl thirsting for Cal. He says “That’s a good one.”
7. Michael laughs at a video where Squidward says Cal is hot and then Michael says "That was a good one. I love that one!"
8. Michael says he doesn’t like the video where the guy says Cal looks like he works at the mall at Mrs. Field’s. (Michael doesn’t like anyone calling Cal average)

Please don’t die! I would miss you too much. I would be a very sad, mopey me and and and….. I think you get the picture. If it is any consolation - probably not? It is 3:30ish for me and I am up because I have to work soon. I did not get enough sleep.
Yesterday while I was out and about I saw a lot of cows and there were babies. They were so cute. I wanted to stop and take photos for you but it was not safe to do so. I knew you would rather me be safe than attempt getting photos in an unsafe situation.
I wish I had some photos of Ashton to share with you but sadly I don’t have any handy at the moment.
Oh, I’m excited for the new Craft Club fic - I love that series.
My apologies for the disjointed message. I’m not awake enough for anything more complicated than a list of thoughts. Probably it’s better so it’s more coherent? Anyway, I hope you are able to get some sleep soon.
Helllloooooooo. Not to fear, anonymous tumblr citizen, I will not die today (hopefully). Or at least I don’t have any plans to!
I’m sorry you didn’t get enough sleep :( me neither tho so dw we’re in the same boat!!!! To be honest, I’m usually more peppy and bouncy on the days I haven’t slept enough bc it’s my body’s way of over correcting!! So I’m hoping this will set me up for a great and eager day! The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and my vision is blurry and my air mattress is deflated!!
Baby cows!!! 🥺 thank you for thinking of me 💙 I’m happy to know I’ve conditioned a bunch of random people on the internet to think of me whenever they see cows. My evil plan is coming along perfectly. But yes!! I definitely value your safety over a cute cow pic!!!
And don’t worry about the Ashton photos!! Here, I’ll add some of my own for us to share.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I’m excited abt the new craft club fic too! No clue when it’ll be out (bc I wanna finish this Malum thing and post Ch. 5 of BM before that and then there’s the matter of fic exchange 😳) but I’m always excited to share!!!
And never any need to apologize!! I appreciate your words and your energy!! Thank you!!

“Brief” Thoughts After Toronto
So. I’ve had some time to collect my thoughts. Still not enough cause I take absolutely forever to do that, but, I will try and put together everything and as many clips as I can relatively soon (I still don’t really understand this site).
BUT. One thing I have been able to process is that red and blue, and the bi flag colours seemed to be used a lot more than other color combos. Maybe that’s just cause I was looking for those more so noticed it but it did feel like it. (it also seemed like the red/blue happened a lot during songs I consider to be more Lashton, but again, maybe it’s just me.)
It also stood out to me just how often Luke would turn around and face Ash, it felt like it was at least once a song (I feel like nobody else is gonna be surprised by this, but I just didn’t expect it.) I was way back on the lawn, but I watched both the stage and big screen during the show, and filmed both the entire time so as not to miss anything. And when Luke would turn around it felt like Ash would also turn his head to look back at him and would smile (maybe I’m being a crazy person who tries to make everything about Lashton, but who cares, but I did definitely have the conscious thought during the show at one point that Ash had definitely turned his head towards Luke and started smiling, which feels like a dumb thing to mention, but I’m never fully coherent during concerts so that fact that I’d a full thought and it was that, feels to me like it would have had to have been noticeable enough for me to process it in the moment.) Slightly related (take everything I’m saying with a grain of salt, I’m crazy, and tend to have a habit of making pretty much everything I see about closeted couples), but I think during when Luke was leading the ahs in BLENDER (or a similar moment, I just know it was Luke interacting with the audience in some way or another, and he was walking around the stage so it wasn’t talking, and it was still light out) where I did think Ash was smiling about Luke being cute (as per usual.)
A few more things, Calum did cry a bit during his speech, and then Malum had a cute moment together (will try and get the video, it’s just a conversation but I thought it cute), I have absolutely no clue how none of us (me + my family) saw it when it happened, but I do have a video of Luke rolling around on the ground, Michael kept faking us out before Jet Black Heart, there was a point where Luke turned to the right and said “we should’ve played hard to get guys, we’ve told them we love them too much,” in relation to that, they complimented the crowd a LOT. Like, a LOT A LOT. And maybe they do it every show, but it felt excessive, literally every talk break they did it more than once and would put a lot of emphasis on it (I’ll try and edit every compliment together if anyone wants to compare it to their show) (my theory is that that, and all the posting about the show, is because they felt bad for having to cut down our set and wanted to make up for it (nothing against them, it was 1000% the right move, we saw lightning about 5 minutes after they left the stage (I wasn’t sad about it until this morning (if anyone has full videos of the 4 songs we had cut, could you please send those my way? I don’t care which city I just wanna like pseudo experience what it would have been like if we had the songs, thank you!)))). I think that that is everything I wanted to say right now, once I go back through my videos to re-jog my memory and get clips, I’ll write everything else down and post all the photos and videos, this is all just off the top of my head.
Also. I am still fully stuck on Ash’s speech. What he said wasn’t all that different from the other guys, I’m just head over heels in love with the man, and his speech just like. Made my life.
Thank you for our time, I’m back off to mope and nurse my throat (yes I’m talking about it. When they were introducing the guys they went Cal, Mike, and Ash. I was already screaming louder for Cal than I probably should have been, but they were trying to get us to scream louder each time, so I pushed it. Really far. My mom was stood next to me and after Mike, she realized they were about to introduce Ash. After how loud she realized I’d be for Ash (I was already real loud for Michael, but she knows I’m in Ash’s lane and would scream my head off) she literally backed up a few steps. Afterwards she said “you absolutely lost your god damn mind when they introduced Ashton” and I was like, of COURSE I did. And this is probably not good for my health by ANY means, but I just wanna emphasis how absolutely feral I went (the entire show obviously, this was just the loudest I was by far), I got lightheaded afterwards (I did a few other times, I have some pre-existing health issues related to this, it’s fine) and I literally felt myself lose my voice. I don’t know how to explain it, I just straight up felt my voice go. I could barely make a noise for the next 10 minutes and was so hoarse and cranky and painful for the rest of the show BUT I DID NOT CARE.)

okay so re: smutless long fics, I’ve tried to compile a list of fics as close to 50k words as possible since that’s the wordcount the anon cited and tbh my friends there really are not that many that I personally have read but I did my best.  All fics under the cut are over 30k and have either been verified good by me or my trusted friends
delete this transmission by @anxietycalling: 67k mashton sci-fi. I reread this one recently and it’s just as amazing the second time around I very highly recommend it
“Yeah,” he says, catching sight of his reflection in the dimly reflective surface and running fingers through his hair to fluff it up. And instead of getting on the mag-train home like he wants to, he catches the northbound train to the greenlawn with Calum. “You know, I think I might not go through with it,” he tells his best friend, meaning his activation. They sit together across from the back doors of the car and watch the adverts for an upcoming showing of ‘Titanic’ at the interactive theater. While Calum sits beside him silently he gnaws on a thumbnail and wonders whether it’s too late to get his money back.
“You can’t go back on it now,” Calum tells him.
And it’s true: His payment has already been processed, the credits removed from his profile. The invoice showed up in his e-net overnight and he’d added it to his encrypted folder. “It’s just - weird,” he says, weighing each of the words on his tongue before he speaks. “To be in charge of another person like that. I don’t want that responsibility.”
I’m a Falling Star by @pixiegrl: 55k lashton fantasy, very cute and sweet
A philosopher once asked, “Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at them because we are human?” Pointless really. “Do the stars gaze back?” Now that’s a question.
Or: Ashton’s a shop boy setting out on a adventure to find a star to help grant a wish. Luke’s a star crashed to Earth looking for some help to get back home. They’re both in for more adventure than they bargained for.
I Wanna Sleep Next to You... by milecgv: 54k malum college au.  I read it over a year ago but I’m pretty sure I enjoyed it then
"Cuddle buddies, how can I help you?"
Pausing, Calum thought, he could just hang up. Get over the moment of weakness and face the rest of the night alone. He could do it. But the idea of spending one more second alone, brought a fresh pang of hurt to his heart and really, he couldn't bear it. Before his thought process could spiral out of control, the calm voice repeated itself.
"Um, yeah. I-, I need someone to-" He cut himself off because really, how was he going to phrase this?
Chuckling softly, the man on the other line interjected. "Sir, do you need someone to cuddle you?"
Shit, it was now or never. "Yeah. I-uh, I do." His voice came out so small, and he really hoped the man on the other side wouldn't pick up on how desperate he was.
~~~
Calum gets the opportunity to live out his dreams in New York City but it proves too much for him, and on a lonely night he ends up calling the professional cuddle service he swore he'd never call.
those are the only three completed fics over 50k that I personally can vouch for, but here are a few more longer ones I’ve read and I’ll link some over 50k that have gotten good reviews from my friends after those.
Destination: Perth by onlythevoid: 34k lashton 
The stranger swung into the seat next to him and sighed contentedly. Luke stole a glance from under his hat. It was a boy with light-brown messy hair, reminiscent of surfers Luke saw on the beach in Brisbane - he had a t-shirt on and black jeans, and fade-tint round-frame sunglasses propped on his straight nose.
The stranger caught Luke’s eyes.
“Hey?” The stranger asked. Shouldn’t have looked at him, Luke thought. Too late.
The stranger had set his sunglasses on his head and was peering below Luke’s cap. “Dude. You look terrible. Are you okay?”
Oh, so the stranger was one of those guys. Too friendly and ever-inquisitive. Yes, Luke looked like shit; he’d been crying for an hour at a time, every few hours, and all he’d had to eat in the past two days was some wet broccoli at the hospital and a bag of chips he’d bought that morning in Brisbane, and there were bruises all up and down his right arm from a car crash he wished he’d died in.
Luke didn’t say any of that. He prayed his voice would be steady and said, “Yes. Thanks.”
The messy-haired boy did not seem convinced. After a pause, he offered, “My name’s Ashton, by the way.”
hello, hello by @clumsyclifford: 30k lashton
For one long, blinking minute, Luke stares at Ashton and wonders if he’s hallucinating. Because that’s definitely Ashton. That’s Ashton Irwin, his former best friend from Sunny Days, the show they co-starred on as children.
But it’s also definitely Ashton Fletcher, professional film actor worth many millions, possibly hundreds of millions, of dollars, standing on his doorstep, wind ruffling his hair.
Now for the fics that I haven’t read but can confidently say are good through a rigorous peer review system (aka I have friends who read them/I have read and enjoyed other works by these people)
home is wherever you are tonight by @lifewasradical: 72k lashton. this one is on my tbr, I have only heard good things, and I’ve read other things by Amanda and trust her as a writer
Life has become so mundane in the past few years that there’s very little that sends a thrill up Luke’s spine anymore. It’s that idea that had him saying yes to the idea of moving out here for a few weeks anyways: the knowledge that this was a completely new place where no one knew his name. He could be anyone he wanted to be here, within reason. He wouldn’t be seeing any of these people again after May, so what’s the harm in becoming a new person for a bit? Someone not so bogged down by the shit in their head that they can’t get out of bed some mornings. Maybe this is a step in the direction of the person Luke wants to be in the future anyways.
Or, Luke inherits a beach house on a tiny costal island that needs some work. He didn't plan on falling in love with the guy at the hardware store.
world war series by prettyluke: 58k lashton historical au. Megs really likes this one and I trust her judgement
Even after months of seeing bodies ripped apart by bullets and bombs, Ashton still isn't prepared to be ripped apart by the fragile German soldier who has seen far more than any child should.
and
Luke shows up in Britain after 25 years right in time for World War Two to start, and Ashton has been waiting for someone to yank him from his melancholy since Christmas of 1914.
i’ll keep on fighting (just to make you believe) by @squishmichael: 33k muke I have heard good things about this one, have read other works by Taylor and trust them as a writer, and also I did skim this one when it first came out and it’s good I just need to sit down and fully read while paying attention
“Hi, Mike,” Luke says softly.
Michael might have cried from hearing his voice so clearly, not through a phone line, but instead his smile just gets bigger and bigger until his cheeks hurt.
“Hey, Luke,” he replies before throwing himself at Luke, arms looping around his neck and holding tight.
“Easy there, tiger,” Luke says with a chuckle, but he hugs Michael back.
It feels so different, all the shapes and sizes wrong, yet Michael has never felt so at home, melting right into the hug. Luke still fits so perfectly against him despite everything. Because it’s them, and they’re meant to be, and Michael never wants to let go.
*
In which Luke is finally coming home to Australia for the summer after two years, and everything should be perfect. Michael quickly realizes nothing is.
Under the High Low Lights I See You There by @pixiegrl: 33k lashton 90s bar au. I have heard a lot of good things and I have read and enjoyed Emily’s writing
Luke moves onto cleaning the glasses, sneaking glances over at him, admiring the open blue flannel he’s wearing with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his chest in the white tank top he’s wearing and the pull of it over his muscles, the acid wash denim pants straining over his thighs. He’s attractive and Luke knows he shouldn’t be looking, shouldn’t be so obvious in his stares, but he can’t help it. The man was made to be admired.
Or: It’s the summer of 1996 in New York City when Luke meets Ashton at his bar. Things aren’t always as they seem.
He Did Ballet by @kaleidoscopeminds: 34k cake. people love this one and meg is a great writer
Like the way he danced, everything in Luke's life was perfectly placed, an allegro exercise all on beat, an enchainment with no mistakes. The last thing he needed was a distraction, something to pull his attention away and make him stumble, like losing your spot during a series of fouettés. He glances back towards the bar and sees Calum still looking in his direction. Luke catches his eye again by mistake for just a second too long and Calum smiles slowly and winks at him. Luke shivers slightly and already feels slightly unbalanced. Calum is definitely not a good idea.
Luke's life is perfectly on track. He is about to get everything he's ever wanted, to become a Principal dancer for the Royal Ballet. He's focused, determined and nothing will get in his way. Then he meets Calum, a smooth-tongued barman with dangerous eyes, and suddenly not everything's so simple.
The Sun Is Burning Down Los Angeles by @burstingsunrise: 40k cake. have heard good things and Molly is a good writer
Calum probably signed a form saying he wouldn’t fall in love with the lead singer of the band. And he really doesn’t want to. What a cliché. It’s just…people get famous for a reason. This guy got famous for all the reasons.
***
Calum moves to LA to work for 5SOS.

Modern neighbor Fitzier AU sketches as inspired by @bonum-malum and @fitzjimbles , who also shared a cute lil ficlet in this universe which I’ve included below... all credit for this Hot Thot tattooedJames modern AU goes to them ❤️. I just feed off of their constant Fitzier ideas at this point.
—————————————————————————————
It wouldn’t have been so bad - really wouldn’t have been worth noting, even - if it wasn’t for what he chose to wear while he worked. The cropped t-shirt was bad enough. But the shorts were worse. Much worse.
They were denim cut-offs. Very short. Very tight. Leaving his long, slender legs entirely exposed and accentuating the curve of his shapely bottom.
Francis found himself staring, yet again, at the bottom in question as he sipped at his coffee, standing at the kitchen window, gazing out across the street.
He didn’t usually do this sort of thing. He was not outgoing. He wasn’t good at talking to people. But there was something about the man in the short shorts that just... drew him in. Until he found himself actually making his way across the street.
Was he really doing this?
He was really doing this.
“Um, hello,” he said quietly, only to be completely drowned out by the radio, blaring some song about pouring... sugar... Oh, good lord. Of all things.
Jesus. That gave him some ideas... He cleared his throat and tried again, louder this time. “Hello there!”
James didn’t hear the greeting at first. But when he did, he tossed the sponge in the soapy water and turned with the biggest smile on his lips. “Hello.” he answered.
Francis just... gaped at him for a moment. Oh shit, he was gorgeous. He was the reason faces were invented. “Uh... hi,” he said quietly, when he finally remembered how words worked. “I, uh... I’m Francis.”
“Hello Francis...” the other man said, holding out a hand. “I’m James.”
“James,” he echoed thoughtfully, taking that hand, looking down briefly to admire those long, slender fingers as they wrapped around his own. “It’s... so nice to meet you. I, uh... I live across the street.”
“Oh, so you’re my neighbor!” he said brightly, looking around to see if there’s anyone else nearby. Could he... flirt? He was going to flirt.
“I am,” Francis said, smiling, relieved that this seemed to be going well. What was he looking for, though...?
“So....is the rest of your family out or...” Fitzy asked.
Francis chuckled softly and shook his head, belatedly realized he was still holding the man’s hand and let it go (reluctantly) in a flustered panic. “Oh, uh... no family,” he said. “It’s just me.”
“Oh...” said Fitzy. He felt a little bad for feeling happy about that. But only a little. “Well, me too. So. It’s nice to meet you, Francis.” He missed that hand in his.
Francis, likewise, felt a little bad for being happy that he was also alone, but he couldn’t help it. “I’m glad I stopped by,” he said quietly, as much to himself as to the other man. “Maybe we could... share a pizza or a six-pack sometime,” he said. “Or something...”

Superhero/Superpowers AU Masterlist
a hero, a liar (ao3) - bellawritess luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 10k
Summary: Ashton’s never met Spiderman. Well, never until right now. Never until Spiderman lands on the pavement in front of Ashton.
All I Need for Now is You to Save Me (ao3) - sunsetmagnolia michael/calum G, 1k
Summary: Everyone has superpowers that set in when they're kids. Michael's is fire.
and I breathe disaster, ever after (ao3) - expectopatronuz michael/calum, luke/ashton T, 25k
Summary: The Winter Soldier lands, and if Calum felt heavy before, now he feels empty. Everything inside of Calum, his heart and lungs and stomach and throat, they all drop right down to his feet. Calum is dizzy, he’s breathing but nothing is coming in. His mind is blank, every moment of his life up to this minute, gone. None of it matters, not a moment, except for this; Calum reaching out, the handle tearing away from the side of the train, and the way his heart fell out of his chest when he realized that there was nothing he could do, that it was too late.
or, Calum is Captain America and Michael was his best friend (and maybe more)
Anything For You.. (ao3) - Ukulelelover616 luke/calum N/R, 12k
Summary: Luke and Calum are in love..... It's pretty obvious.. Everyone can tell, except Luke and Calum! I guess you could call it a skinny love. Ashton, Michael, and many others will stop at nothing to get these two together.
Inspired by the Don't Stop music video! (Superpowers AU)
gone off the razor's edge (ao3) - kingscrossinseptember calum/ashton M, 1k
Summary: “You knew I might cause the apocalypse and you still decided to date me?” Calum’s voice rose several octaves as he spoke.
“What can I say, everybody makes bad choices.” Ashton offered up a trembling smile and Calum let out a noise somewhere between a laugh and a sob.
If Walls Could Talk (ao3) - orphan_account michael/calum, michael/luke M, 23k
Summary: “Don’t even fucking say anything about me, Wave. You have no fucking idea why I left the team, and you have no clue how much I lost after it,” Luke says surging forward, eyes glowing bright white and causing the electricity in the room to crackle with his true emotions coming out.
or the Don't Stop AU where everything fell apart.
I hope you like superheroes (ao3) - brokenstereotype luke/ashton T, 20k
Summary: Luke doesn't see the appeal of a guy dressing up in spandex to save the city from nonexistent troubles. It may just be the fact that Michael has made a huge hype about this masked man in tights, but he's just not impressed - until he's on the recieving end of the saving.
i wanna tell you so (how to hold my heart) (ao3) - babushcat (MerrytheCookie) michael/ashton T, 25k
Summary: Ashton turns to greet him, faded red hair swishing gracefully with the motion until the gentle waves settle and frame his face, all sunny grin and perfect dimples and sparkling hazel eyes and Michael hates Calum he hates him so much.
“Oh hey, it’s my favorite customer!” he says with his stupid cute voice constantly sounding on the verge of laughter and happiness and sunshine. Michael hopes his face isn’t as red as it feels, averts his eyes to shield them from the powerful glow Ashton always seems to emanate, “You say that to all your customers.” Michael is a programmer by day, a vigilante’s guy in the chair by night, and a full-time admirer of the cute barista down at the coffee shop he frequents, and sometimes he wonders if everyone around him is way too dramatic or if he's missing something.
Let's be unpredictable (ao3) - orphan_account michael/calum, luke/ashton G, 5k
Summary: the one where malum meet at a detention and everyone thinks Luke's hair is a myth, but it isn't.
Sparkle, Baby, Shine (ao3) - pitypartyof1 michael/luke, calum/ashton E, 2k
Summary: Michael is curious about the cute boy in his Psych class. For some reason, he's covered in glitter.
The Leader's of the Not Coming Back's (ao3) - dancewithme luke/ashton, michael/calum N/R, 4k
Summary: They're all just trying to get by
This is What Makes Us Who We Are (ao3) - orphan_account michael/calum N/R, 1k
Summary: Calum bites his lip, sharply nodding his head and waiting for the rush of air that will take him out of this situation.
OR- Calum has both super powers and a crazy huge crush on Michael. But he can't seem to be able to kiss the boy without fucking it up. That's where his time-travel comes in handy.
Undressing You With My Mind (ao3) - pitypartyof1 calum/ashton N/R, 2k
Summary: Calum has a bad habit of letting his mind wander. It usually ends in problems for Ashton.
what if i'm weak (and i need you tonight?) (ao3) - kingscrossinseptember michael/calum T, 2k
Summary: But when Calum had become apprentice to the city’s biggest superhero two months ago, a lot of things changed. The main one was their nights. Instead of staying up doing homework and hanging out until they both crashed into their respective beds, Calum would slip out their window to save the day and catch the bad guys, and Michael would lay awake in bed until Calum returned, paralyzed with the fear that some night Calum wouldn’t come back at all.
you can hear it in the silence (ao3) - prophecygrl michael/luke E, 898
Summary: "If I fail out of math, it’s your fault. "
Or
Michael and Luke are telepathic and Michael thinks that means Luke can help him cheat his way through school.

hello :)) what are your fav malum pics and/or moments?? :)) -taylor<3 (yes i'm making my way up to cashton but for now you have to deal with me straving for malum <33 you won't see the cashton coming. love you)
hey there taylor :)) the looming fear i have that one day i'll get a cashton ask from you is never ending :))
but you know what? a malum one hurts as well! so let's do this :))
first here are a few of my favourite malum pics just because they're cute like that:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
now for some quality malum moments that i feel nobody really talks about:
firstly i have a really soft spot for this one particular moment where they were performing catch fire and calum's decided to go up to michael being all cute and then michael lets him sing. now tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've seen. added a picture for maximum damage :)
Tumblr media
second of all this is more of a general one but every time michael plays with calum's hair and calum just? has no reaction? like he's so used to it and he's just letting it happen. soft.
now a moment that always makes me laugh is from one of those 1 minute videos they released while the calm era was happening. i cannot tell me how many times i've went "YOU HAVE A NORMAL DAY SIR" they're just so funny without trying.
well this was longer than expected but it was fun. hope we all have a wonderful malum time together on this post :)

Dear Calum,
My mum suggested I write you a letter because of the whole data thing in Brazil. I don’t know what that really means but apparently calling would be extremely expensive so I’m doing this now. Maybe it’s weird. Don’t really care. Deal with it.
So how is Brazil? I don’t know the time difference. Wait, I can look it up. Google says 13 hours. That means you’re a day behind me half the time. I’m in your future! It doesn’t look good for you, Cal. Future is pretty grim. If I were you I would stay in the past. Although by the time you get this it will be way in the future for both of us…oops. Oh well. I tried.
Anyway. What was I saying. Brazil? How is it? Hot, I bet. Probably playing loads of football. Luke and I have been playing FIFA but it’s so not the same. He sucks at it and he doesn’t even cheat because he’s boring I guess or has “morals” or whatever (his words not mine). I miss playing FIFA with you. Always beating Luke is not fun. Okay it’s a little fun. But I still miss you. As soon as you’re back you’re reclaiming the player 2 controller. Did I mention that I miss you? You probably get it.
What can I update you about here? There’s not a lot to say. Nothing has really happened. At least not in my life. Oh! I can tell you a secret but don’t tell Luke I told you because he will definitely kill me. Not that you have any way to reach Luke. Don’t go behind my back and write a letter to Luke telling him I told you this. Anyway: Luke fancies Ashton! I totally got him to admit it during one of the FIFA games I mentioned. It was almost cute if I’m honest. He turned really red and got all blushy and stammery. I am now wondering if I should meddle or not. On the one hand, Ashton must like him back, right? Have you seen the two of them? I don’t want to deal with intra-band sexual tension. Unless it’s ours. We’ve already claimed the “insufferable band boyfriends” role though, so do we really want this to happen? I don’t really know what I’m arguing anymore. I don’t think I’ll do anything for now. Will keep you updated in case anything dramatic happens. Then again I have no idea how long it’ll be before you receive this. Something very dramatic might happen while this is in the post. Let me ask my mum. Okay she says it could be two weeks. That’s fucking long. You might just have to come back and get the Luke/Ashton updates in real time.
Besides from that there isn’t much to report. Everything is the same. Except I’m a lot lonelier now. This is what you’ve done to me Calum. I’m returning to my natural introvert state. I need you here, Cal!! Otherwise I’ll just have to become a turtle and by the time you’re back it might be too late. 
I’m joking by the way. I hope you’re having a good time at football camp. Making new friends and learning Brazilian(?) Portuguese and kicking everyone’s arse and showing them up. I’m sure you are. I just miss you lots. :( Counting down the days!
Sending you lots of kisses and cuddles through the post,
Mikey

Dear Michael,
I don’t care either! I think writing letters is cool. We’re like lovers at war. Except neither of us are going to die. Probably. (Some of these footballers are CRAZY good. You never know!)
Actually, Brazil is pretty nice. It’s winter so the days have actually been not too hot, thankfully. It’s exhausting enough playing as it is. If it got any hotter, I might actually pass out. Forever. They’d have to ship me home in a body bag. (Are those only for dead people? Maybe not a body bag.)
It’s been almost two weeks since you sent your letter (I assume you sent it soon after I left?) which means there’s a good chance this one won’t get to you until I do, but in case it does I’m going to write and post it anyway. I hope by now you’re getting on better with Luke. If I’ve said it once or a million times, you guys have a lot in common and I really think you could be best friends if you weren’t both such stubborn shitheads. Which I say in the nicest way possible!
Of course Luke fancies Ashton, he’s liked Ashton since…honestly I don’t know when. Months and months at least. And Ashton clearly likes him back. I’ve never seen two people less capable of hiding their feelings. I’m surprised you didn’t notice before. Please tell me you decided to meddle in the end. You’re right, we can’t handle more sexual tension in the band. Don’t worry, they can’t possibly be more insufferable than we are. We are the most annoying boyfriends on the planet. We’re writing each other letters. Basically, it’s best for everyone involved if they get over themselves. Suck it up and kiss already! My friend Gustavo agrees with me. Also he says hi. (Well he says “oi” but I translated for you. See, I can do stuff like that. Kinda cool, right?)
I miss you too, you know. Very much. This might sound weird, but I keep having dreams about you? Like…I’ll be dreaming about whatever (usually football these days) and then you’ll just be there. Clearly my subconscious also knows I miss you. You know Ashton says that when you dream about someone, it’s because they’re thinking about you, so I hope that’s true. It’s kind of a cute idea. I hope you’re thinking about me. I’m thinking about you. Obviously. A lot. A lot.
There is one thing I want to tell you, though. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this, and the more I think about it the crazier it feels, but also more right. So…I think I’m gonna do the band. Not football. This is cool and all, but everyone here is so scary good, and…I don’t know. Maybe this is stupid but I don’t like the idea of a future without you when I could have a future with you. Like with the band, I mean. And I know it’s not the most practical dream, but imagine how cool it would be if it actually worked out. You know I like a challenge. So, anyway…that’s kind of where I’m at now. I’m going to keep thinking about it for the last two weeks here, but I don’t think I’ll change my mind. Don’t tell anyone, please. I just wanted to tell you as soon as I knew. My parents are going to be soooo mad. Not excited to tell them, but this feels like the right decision.
Anyway…this got weirdly deep. Sorry. Here’s something super not-deep to make up for it: one of the football coaches here has a dog whose name in English is pasta! PASTA! (It might be apple. Apparently they’re the same word just spelled differently and the Brazilians here can clearly tell the difference. I cannot. But I think it’s way funnier if the dog’s name is pasta so I’m going with that. Not that apple is much better? Imagine seeing any dog at all and thinking, “You know what this dog’s name should be? A common food item.” LOL.)
This letter is so long and I’m running out of space on the page and I also really need to go to sleep! The boys are telling me to turn off the lights. I miss you so much. Football camp is fun, but I can’t wait to be back. Counting down the days!
Thank you for the cuddles and kisses I am sending them right back to you,
Cal

“Oh my God,” Michael mumbles into Calum’s shoulder, “you smell.”
Calum laughs, but he doesn’t loosen his grip on Michael. “Seriously? I haven’t seen you in a whole month and that’s the first thing you say?”
“Ugh, I missed you so much, but that’s boring to say, you already knew it,” Michael says, drawing back to kiss Calum for a second. Then he buries his face in Calum’s neck. “Seriously, I’m not joking, if you ever leave me alone for that long again, I will die.”
“You had Luke. And Ashton.”
Michael groans loudly and overdramatically. “Ashton is busy with family stuff all the time and don’t you dare compare yourself to Luke.”
“We’re going to talk about this,” Calum says. “You’re going to be friends with him if it kills me.”
“Then prepare to die,” Michael says. Calum laughs, pressing a kiss to the slope of Michael’s neck. “I tried, okay? I promise I did. I said in my letter we were playing FIFA! Did you get my letter? I didn’t know how to check if it ever actually arrived.”
“I got it,” Calum says, stomach lurching with nerves. Ignoring them for the moment, he squeezes Michael and then steps back to give him a full once-over. “I loved it. It made me laugh. God, I really missed you, you know?”
“Join the fucking club,” Michael says, smiling. He’s been smiling this whole time, Calum realises; he’s just good at sounding like he’s whining even when he’s smiling. That’s probably the most Michael thing Michael can do.
“Alright, boys,” Mali says from a ways away. “Come on. Let’s go. And seriously, Calum? You hug Michael but not me?”
Calum throws his arms around Mali, and Mali wraps him in a hug. “Missed you,” Calum says sweetly in her ear. “Thank you for coming to get me. And for bringing Michael.”
“You’re welcome,” Mali says drily. They separate and Mali just gives him a small smile. “And I missed you too, you punk. Come on, you both. Baggage claim awaits.”
Mali takes off and Calum lingers behind until he can throw an arm over Michael’s shoulder. Michael leans heavily into him. It’s been so long since the last time Calum had Michael in his arms, but it’s so immediately familiar that it almost knocks Calum off his feet. 
“So…” Calum bites his lip. “Did you get my letter? I sent it just after yours arrived, but I don’t know if it got here before me.”
Michael shakes his head. “Nope, nothing.” Something in his voice tells Calum he’s making no mistake. He’d probably checked the mail every day, just to see. There’s a pang in Calum’s chest, all mixed up with the anxiety flitting out to his fingertips from inside his rib cage. 
“Oh,” Calum says. “Well, there was something in there that I wanted to tell you, but I guess I’ll just tell you now. Um.” He drops his voice to a half-whisper, clears his throat. “I don’t want to tell Mali or anyone yet, but…I decided I’m not going to do football.”
Michael jerks. “What?”
“I want to be in the band,” Calum says quietly. His heart is racing, but at least it’s racing towards the finish line instead of away. This is the right decision. He’s…ninety-five percent sure. That’s enough to know. It has to be enough to know. “I just, you know, football is fun, but music is more fun. To me. And anyway, um.” He rubs the back of his neck. “If I have a choice between a career that has you in it or one that doesn’t, I choose you. Obviously.”
“You’re gonna be in the band?” Michael repeats lowly, looking over at Calum like he’s seeing something he’s never seen before. “Seriously? You’d give up football?”
Calum shrugs, nods. “Yeah. I know my parents are going to kill me, but I don’t care. This is what I want.”
Michael stares at him. “I love you,” he says, and then kisses Calum too fiercely to give Calum adequate time to process that. 
By the time they break apart, he’s processed it. And as he inhales to catch his breath, licking his lips, he knows with one-hundred-percent certainty that this is the right choice.
“I love you too,” Calum says, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. Where Michael is concerned, it usually is.
