I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart.

@ Hemmings.
Darcy woke up with a smile on her face before she sent a quick text to Ashton like she usually did, Mornin' Ashy!!. She rolled over and curled into Mikey with a grin. She set her head on his chest and looked up at him as he slept, "Mikey. Wake up. Come on you've got stuff to do." She said before she leaned up and gave him a peck on the lips with a smile. She loved to wake him up with a kiss.

---

Luke woke up with a grin before he saw he had a text from Calum telling him that the boys had band stuff to do that day to prepare for the next tour. He rolled over in bed and thought of Astrid. He loved her so much and he was so excited that she was going on tour with them. He didn't know if he would be able to have her not come with them. The distance was too much for him.

---

Calum woke up early like normal and he showered and got ready for the day before sending a text to all the boys telling them that they had band stuff to do to get ready for the next tour and then they all had the rest of the day to do whatever they wanted. He sent a quick text to Astrid, Morning Love. He sent before he sat down on his couch and watched some television.

Astrid smiled at the text she'd gotten from her best friend before quickly replying, since she had to go make sure her lazy boyfriend was awake at least. Morning!!. Once the message had sent she'd laid her phone down on the counter in her kitchen and went to her bedroom where she'd left Luke this morning when she'd gotten up. Unlike him she'd always been a morning person opposed to a night owl like himself. And given that she was a very independent person she of course didn't live with her parents anymore. Though that was also kind of thanks to the fact that her nanna had left her studio flat she'd always used as an art studio to Astrid to live in on her own until she was ready to move out. Which might've been never because she loved it. She had been saving up her own money to rent an apartment though. After making it to her room she climbed into the bed with Luke and sat on him. "Morning sunshine."

---

Michael smiled into the kiss really tempted to kiss her back and make it obvious that she'd woken him up, but he refrained for the moment. He had no idea what time it was, he hadn't even opened his eyes properly yet anyways so how would he, but regardless he knew it was too damn early to be awake. Or at least he thought it was, of course he thought it was to early to be waking up unless it was like at least noon and he was positive that it wasn't noon yet. Probably like 10 or something. Which he hated. But he'd signed up for early mornings like this when he'd joined the band and they'd actually started getting a fan-base and being able to tour and shit. So he tried not to complain about it too much.

---

Ashton rolled over in his bed to grab his phone when it went off for a second time in the last like 5 minutes. He figured he should actually see who it was. He should've known thought that it'd be Calum and Darcy. And both were telling him good morning. Mornin to you too love! He replied to Darcy first, and kind of ignored Calum's message. It was kind of one he'd sent to everyone and he was sure that by now Luke was being woken up by Astrid if he'd stayed the night with her. Or his mum if he'd stayed at home, though his mum probably thought he was with one of the lads. Ashton wasn't really sure if Luke's mum knew they spent the night together or not. It wasn't his business anyways though. The kid was 18 finally so it shouldn't matter but who knew. And also much to his dismay he was sure that Michael was being woken up by Darcy so neither of them would even be likely to reply anyways. And he'd seen Calum soon enough so no point in texting him back in the group message.

@ Hemmings.
Darcy rolled Her eyes when Michael resist her kiss, "Mikey wake up please. Calum expects me to be the one to wake you up in the mornings." She said with a whine before she climbed on top of him and straddled his waist. She bounced up and down to wake him up. She knew there was no way he could resist that.

---

Luke looked over when Astrid came in the room, "Morning beautiful." He said with a smile. He took her hand and pulled her into bed and cuddled her into his arms. He never wanted to leave this bed, "So when I get home from the band thing what do you want to do?"

---

Calum sat on the couch and thought about how Luke was being woken up by now. Probably from Astrid. Calum frowned at the thought. It wasn't that he didn't like seeing his best friends happy. He just wished that they weren't happy together. Astrid had always been Calum's best friends and only love but then Luke just sweeps in and steels his girl. It wasn't fair but it's not like he could say anything about it. Nobody knew about how he felt about Astrid.

Michael peaked up at Darcy through one eye when he felt her basically jump on top of him to wake him up. "What're you doing?" He asked her groggy sounding since he had kind of just woken up. He didn't really wanna wake up just yet. He wanted to stay here in bed and cuddle a little while longer. Or sleep longer too that'd be nice. "Ugh! Of course Calum would already be awake. Like does he ever even sleep?" Michael whined wondering how Calum could always be the first one in the group up, every time. And even if he was the last one to actually go to bed. It made no sense.

---

Ashton finally sighed and climbed out of his bed so he could get started on getting ready. He knew they had a big day ahead of them today and he should probably be a little bit more awake than he was right now when they were doing there thing. So he needed to shower to help wake him up, and he might as well eat some breakfast since he was up and it was the most important meal of the day and all.

---

Astrid smiled and nuzzled her face into his neck kissing it lightly. "Whatever's fine with me." She told him just wanting to spend time with him really. She never cared what her and Luke did together as long as they did it together. She enjoyed spending time with him. She'd play video games with him if he wanted, they could see a movie together, hell they could take a nap and cuddle for all she cared as long as they were together she really didn't care what they did.

@ Hemmings.
Darcy laughed at Michael's reaction before she smiled at him, "Cal isn't much of a sleeper, you know that babe." She said and leaned over and kissed him with a grin before she climbed off of him and started to get ready for her day, "Are we all going out tonight?" She asked Mikey as she got Mikey an outfit for the day. She liked to pick out his clothes but she didn't know why because it made her also feel like a mother.

- - -

Luke smiled down at Astrid and he pulled her closer before he shrugged, "Whatever is fine with me as long as I'm with you. I think that Darcy suggested something the other day about us all going out tonight. You don't have to go if you don't want to." He said.

---

Calum looked at the time on the clock before he got up and turned off the tv and then grabbed his keys and headed out the doo. He went to the studio and waited for the guys to show. He hadn't slept much the night before. Tour schedule really threw off his sleeping schedule when he got back home. It always did.

"Ugh I know." Michael said shaking his head, Calum like never slept it was so weird. And he was pretty sure that Astrid was a morning person in general so she was always peppy in the mornings and Michael just didn't know how the two of them did it. He hated mornings. He hated waking up, and he really hated when he didn't get at least like 12 hours of sleep. Which probably made him seem like a werido or something, but he felt like he couldn't function on anything less unless he had like a ton of caffeine. "Why'd I ever decide to join a band." He whine covering his face with his arm. Really he loved being in the band, he wouldn't give up being part of this for anything either. What he hated was having to wake up to do band related things.

---

Ashton hopped out of the shower and went to get changed into something comfortable. And made sure to throw an extra outfit in his gym bag he took with him when they did band things like this, so he could change into it later. He didn't wanna go out with everyone later all sweaty and probably smelly from practicing or whatever the hell they were gonna do. Even if he knew he might've been able to pick up a girl if he wanted to no matter what he was wearing he had a little bit more class than that.

---

Astrid bopped Luke's nose and smiled at him. "I'll go out with you guys. I don't mind. Plus babe I haven't spent much time with my kiwi lately and I'm sure he misses me." She told him referring to Calum of course. He was her kiwi. He'd been her best friend forever and she hadn't really spent much time with him or any of the other guys really now that she thought about it other than when she was there for band things. It was mostly because she'd spent all her time either alone with Luke or working on something for the band. "So have you told your mom that you've been staying here? Or does she still think you're staying with Ashton?" She asked him since she knew Ashton had his own place too and the last time she'd checked he'd told his mum he was staying with Ashton.

@ Hemmings.
Darcy rolled her eyes at Michael but laughed anyway, "Don't be like that, you know you love the band more than anything in the world." She said with a laugh. She knew it was true, Michael belonged in the band more than he did anywhere else. It was his life. There was no other way to go for him.

- - -

Luke smiled when Astrid bopped his nose. He smiled when she said she would go out with the group. He was glad he would get to spend more time with her. Though he knew she would wanna spend time with Calum.

- - -

Calum played on his phone as he waited for the boys. He knew he was really early but he hoped that they got there soon because he was getting bored and was ready to get to work with the band and work on things for the next tour.

[ So just for the sake of I don't really know what to do with him right now, I'm just gonna reply as Michael until I know what to do with Ashton ]

"I do." Michael said sighing, "I just hate waking up early for this stuff. And that Calum and Astrid are such peppy people in the morning. They make me wanna vomit they're so peppy sometimes. And I always feel bad when I'm grumpy around her because she does that sad face and ugh! Plus if I'm grumpy Calum and Luke both get on me because they're both so freaking close to her. It's like I can't win or be the grumpy cat Michael in the mornings." He told her knowing that he sounded well insane probably. But it was kind of true. Darcy was more of a morning person than him too, of course he was pretty sure everyone was, but he really did hate how they all like teamed up on him to try and make him not be grumpy in the mornings. Even if it never worked.

---

"So have you told your mom that you've been staying here? Or does she still think you're staying with Ashton?" She asked him since she knew Ashton had his own place too and the last time she'd checked he'd told his mum he was staying with Ashton. Astrid didn't really think his mum would care that he'd been with her the last few nights and that he wasn't really wish Ashton but she would feel bad if his mum found out and was like super upset or something. Because Luke had only just turned 18 and Astrid was nearly two years older than him so she didn't know how his mum felt about it.

@ Hemmings.
(It's okay cause I'm going to do that with Cal haha)

"Hey watch what you say about morning people. You know I'm kind of a morning person." She said and took his hand, pulling him out of bed. She quickly stripped him of his shirt before she smiled up at him. She handed him the shirt she had picked out for him with a smirk, "Just think about how when you get back you and I get to have the rest of the day to ourselves....well until we all go out tonight." She said with a big smile before she leaned up and kissed him.

---

Luke scratched the back of his neck when Astrid asked if he had told his mom yet, "Not exactly. I told her that I've been staying at Ashton's to work on band things." He said honestly with a nervous smile. He didn't know if Astrid would be mad at him but he had to be honest with her, "I'm going to tell her soon though." He added. He was nervous to tell his mom because he knew she was kind of protective of him, not that he didn't love it but sometimes it was much.

[ Sounds like a plan. And sorry for taking forever to reply! I had to work and couldn't figure out how I wanted my reply to go ]

"Yea but you also have your days when you're not a morning person. Those two are like always morning people. It's like they always wake up on the right side of the bed or some shit and it drives me mad." Michael said knowing it sounded stupid but it was true. Calum and Astrid were like always peppy in the mornings and it drove him up the wall. "True." He said knowing that the sooner he did get out of bed and get a move on the sooner they'd be done with all the band things they had to do for the day which meant the sooner he could be back in bed until he had to go out later with everyone. "Where're we going again tonight?" He asked his girlfriend not really remembering if he'd even been told.

---

Astrid laughed a little, she could tell that he was nervous about telling her. She she kind of got that. But she knew he was gonna have to tell her eventually, because if she didn't find out from him she'd probably be really upset. And Astrid didn't want to get him into any trouble or have his mum upset with him or anything, but she was sure she'd understand. Or at least Astrid hoped she'd understand and wouldn't be upset about it. "I'm sure it won't be that bad. I mean your mum likes me, she likes me right?" She asked feeling like if this were someone else it wouldn't be a big deal. Like Calum, if this were Calum she knew his mum wouldn't care, probably because her and Calum had both slept over with one another countless times before. Plus Astrid was positive that Calum's mum loved her and wouldn't mind them living together. Really she was pretty sure his mum would rather him live her than alone or something because at least then she'd known he'd kept in his place when he needed to be, and of course taken care and all that shit. But this wasn't Calum. This was Luke and she didn't really know how his mum thought, she also hadn't grown up sleeping at his house.

@ Hemmings.
Darcy smiled at Michael when he finally got out of bed, "I have no idea actually. I have to talk to Ash about it." She said before she handed Mikey the rest of his clothes and then walked out of the room so he could get changed and she wouldn't be a distraction. She knew he was already probably late for the band thing they had to do so she didn't want him being even more later. She knew that Cal would bitch a fit if Mikey was incredibly late.

---

Luke nodded at Astrid's words, "Of course she likes you. It's just hard to tell my mum this because my mom is like kind of protective and she loves me so much and I don't think she wants to see me grow up." He replied before looking at the time and getting out of bed and changing his clothes. Once he finished he looked at Astrid, "I'll tell her I promise. I just need some time." He said before he leaned over and kissed her with a smile.

"Okay, well I guess just keep me posted then." Michael told her finally getting out of bed and getting ready. He was already probably going to be the last one to show up and would more than likely never hear the end of it when it came to being late. Of course it wouldn't be anything new, he was almost always late to things unless they were actually on tour, then he wasn't really late. Of course being on tour was a lot different than being at home. He had more time to himself at home, a little more time to relax, and he found himself distracted wanting to be around his girlfriend and family rather than not getting to see them at all while he was there.

---

"I understand." Astrid told him smiling over at him a little and climbing out of the bed. "You're her baby and she doesn't want you to be all grown up yet." She said pecking his lips. "Anyways, I'm gonna change because we have a big day ahead of us today that we should get started on." She said knowing that they had a band thing this morning, and while that went on, she and their actually manager were having coffee with the owner of a venue to talk about possible concerts being held there when the boys did shows here at home. And there was just a lot to go through for the day. Then of course everyone was meeting up later to go out, even though she still had no idea where they were going. Kiwi! I'm so excited to see you later!!

@ Hemmings.
Darcy walked out to the kitchen before she made herself a cup of coffee and decided to basically start her day. She was going to clean up the house a bit before Mikey got back. She sent out a text to Ash with a grin, Ashy do you know where we are going tonight? Mikey asked me and I told him that you and I hadn't decided yet. She sent to him with a smile.

---

Calum looked down at his phone when it vibrated. He smiled when he saw it was Astrid, I can't wait to see you either! Has Luke left yet? He replied before looking up when he saw that Mikey had walked through the door, "You're usually the last one here." He said with a laugh, "I guess Darcy practically pushed you out the door." He teased his friend.

---

Luke got dressed before he left the house and headed to the studio. He walked in and saw that everyone was already there. He raised an eyebrow when he saw Mikey was there before him, "Wow you're usually the last one anywhere we go. Are you awake? I know it's a bit early for you." He teased.

Ashton smiled down at his phone when it lit up with another text message from Darcy. Of course he didn't really know anything about where they were going later either. But he was sure he and Darcy could think of something. I don't really know, is there anywhere you wanted to go? He asked her not really sure where they could all go out for the night to just hang out and have some fun. But he was sure if they thought about it for a while they'd think of something.

---

"Yea pretty much." Michel said as he walked through the door and plopped onto the couch next to Ashton who was just texting away. "The woman didn't let me sleep in at all." He said shaking his head, he understood where she was coming from and why she'd done it. She hadn't wanted him to be late and blah blah blah, but honestly he was pretty sure he would've been okay with like at least ten more minutes of sleep. But whatever he was up now and it was too late for him to go back to bed. So he might as well get the day started. "Shut up." He told Luke flipping him off in the teasing manner only he knew how to. "Yes I'm awake, sadly."

---

He should be getting there soon. We were kind of laying in bed talking or he would've been there sooner... sorry!! Astrid replied to Calum, but she was pretty sure that Luke shouldn't have been that late to whatever they were going to do for the day. Oh and Lucas doesn't know where we're going tonight so keep me posted will ya? ;)

@ Hemmings.
Darcy smiled at Ashton's text message, No idea. I just wanna go out tonight and have fun with my four favorite boys. She replied before she started working on cleaning up her and Michael's room before she hesitated outside of Mikey's band room. He had all of his lyrics and guitars in there and such and he kept it a mess but he never wanted her in there for some reason. She bit her lip before opening the door and walking in. It was a disaster. It looked like a tornado had gone through the room. Darcy shook her head before she started to clean things up and such, throwing away the garbage that was in there and putting all of Mikey's songs together on a pile. She knew he was going to be mad but it was good for him.

---

Luke laughed when Mikey flipped him off before everyone was there and they all sat down and waited for the studio manager to come in. Then they all quickly got to work on talking about the next tour and the next album and such. Luke was excited because Astrid was of course going to come with him and the boys so he was glad he was going to not have to be away from her.

---

Calum looked down at his phone and smiled, I will keep you in the loop. You'll be the first to know anything I hear, as always. I'm your eyes and ears for the boys in this band. He sent and almost laughed at his message but didn't want to interrupt the studio manager, who was talking about tour and the next album and such.

Ashton wasn't really sure where they were going to go after all the band stuff. And personally he didn't care either. He really just wanted to be around Darcy and the lads and just have fun doing whatever the hell they wanted. well there is that new karaoke bar that just opened. We could always hit it up. he suggested. Sure the lads wouldn't mind going there. After he sent the message though he slipped his phone into his pocket knowing he needed to pay attention to their manager and shit since he was talking about the tour and all.

---

Michael was leaned back in his seat trying to pay attention. And by the looks of it he was the only one. Luke looked like he was in his own world. Calum was most likely texting Astrid. Ashton was also texting, he supposed it was probably Darcy, and then he was just leaned back listening and getting more and more excited about this tour. It was gonna be a blast.

---

of course you are kiwi. And thanks! You know I hate being out of the loop with you guys! Astrid replied glad he'd keep her updated. Which she was srmure Luke could've done too but she was already talking to Cal so it'd just be convenient for him to tell her she supposed.

@ Hemmings.
Darcy smiled at Ashton's text, Sounds like a plan. You can let everyone know. She sent before she went down to the couch and laid down and waited for Michael to get back from his thing. She just wanted to spend the rest of the day with him and cuddle.

---

Luke kept drifting off into space during the meeting, thinking about the tour and Astrid coming out with them again. He looked around and noticed that Mikey was really the only one paying any attention which was a real shock to him.

---

Calum smiled down at his phone when Astrid texted him back, I know you do. He replied back before he looked up and listened to the studio manager. He was really excited for the next tour and if things went the way they should then Astrid and Darcy would be coming out and the whole gang would be out on tour.

@ Hemmings.
???(:

[ I'm so sorry!!! I've been so busy and totally forgot to reply! ]

Will do Ashton responded quickly in his text message before going back to listening about their up and coming tour. Which he was really excited for. He loved touring really, getting to travel with some of his best friends while he did something that he loved and got to make people happy. He didn't know what it was but there was just something about it that made him feel all warm and happy inside.

---

Michael didn't mind being the only one who was really paying attention, even if it was a little out of ordinary. He was just super interested in hearing everything about their up coming tour was all really. He was just excited and happy to be going again. Even though sure he'd miss his family like he always did, and he'd kind of be a little upset that he wouldn't be able to spend as much time with her and all but he was still excited, at least she'd be there though because that was always nice.

---

Astrid rolled her eyes at her phone before she slipped it back into her pocket and took her seat at the table in the coffee shop with the boy's other manager and the owner of a local venue. They were all there mostly just to discuss the boys being able to play at said venue when they were in town. And Astrid really wanted the place for the boys. It was the biggest venue around for one, which they deserved. It was also nicer than the other ones, and she was sure that she could convince the guy that by allowing the boys to play at the venue his business would flourish. Because those boys were getting huge, they were making a name for themselves and she had no doubts at all that they would keep getting bigger and bigger and have concerts sell out. And as long as everything continued to make them happy she'd be happy.
