Author’s Note: Umm… so it’s now been a year since I started posting my writing on Tumblr (and Instagram too). That’s exciting, *cue nervous laughter*. Thank you all for reading my works. I took a long break but I’m back now, and hopefully, soon enough I’ll start writing consistently again. This is Part 2 to my Consequences imagine, and like always, hope you enjoy :)

Third Person POV

- - - - - - - -

Even after two years, she still hadn't forgotten about him. She hated herself for leaving him, but it was for the best, at least that’s what she thought.

He deserved better, someone better. Someone strong. Someone who radiated kindness. Someone beautiful. Someone more talented. Someone who could match with him perfectly. Someone who didn't dwell on the past but instead looked back on it fondly, fully healed from it. All she ever did was hold him back.

Though disappointed by her actions, her friends stuck by her side and tried to get her to move on from the break-up. But she still tortured herself every day and night with a regretful memory, making sure she hadn't forgotten all the details of their break-up.

The roses on the shirt she no longer wore. The broken look on his face and the sadness in his eyes that were drowned by tears. She had wanted to take all her words back but couldn’t. The image of his shattered physique never failed to break her heart.

She checked up on the band through their socials every once in a while. Seeing how their fame grew when their record Youngblood was released. She remembered the excited look on his face when he had first told her about the album.

"It's amazing. I have a good feeling about this one." He gushed, leaning back on the couch, a dream-like look on his face, accompanied by a sparkle in his eyes.

"Cal, you guys, just started the album," she laughed, sitting down beside him, propping her elbow on the cushion next to him.

"I know, I know," he moved closer towards her, leaning his head on her forearm, "but after all the struggle, ‘Meet You There’ sets us up on the right path for this album. I just hope it’s not a big disappointment in the end. I wouldn’t want that for our fans," he said, his voice getting softer towards the end when he expressed his worries.

"I know, and I'm very proud of you and the guys. And like you said, this will be amazing; I just know it. And I'll be your number one fan when it's released like always."

And she was speaking the truth. Even though she was no longer standing on the sidelines, she still cheered for them in the background.

The moment she noticed their faces plastered on billboards was engraved in her mind. She’d never forget June 15, 2018, the day they released their highly anticipated album.

"You did the right thing," she reassured herself when doubts clouded her mind, "he wouldn't have accomplished this with you leeching on his side. You let him go, and he's finally touched the sky."

She wished him nothing but the best. She would've liked to have told him this, face-to-face, but she remained firm on her decision to cut all contact from him. It had pained her when unanswered calls from him had died out. But it was for the greater good. At least, hopefully, for him. She learned that one sometimes has to make sacrifices for those one loves.

She talked with the rest of the band every once in a while. They briefly updated each other on their lives, but Y/N mostly kept quiet. Telling little white lies when asked how she was doing before she'd changed the subject, letting them take over the conversation.

But who she really kept in touch with was their girlfriends. As time went on, she became closer with Sierra and Crystal. She'd known Crystal for a while when she and Michael were just in the beginning stages of their soon-to-be relationship. She was happy for them when they finally made their relationship official; they deserved each other.

When the break-up happened, Y/N had disappeared from their lives for a few weeks. Crystal had checked up on her a month later and stayed with Y/N for the rest of the night at her apartment upon seeing the state her friend was in. She had her arms wrapped around the distressed girl, letting her cry it out. That was the beginning of a strong, long-lasting friendship.

Later on, she met Sierra when Crystal invited her for a sleepover at Y/N's apartment, and Kaykay came too.

Kaykay and Y/N had known each other since they were kids but had lost touch for a while, so it was nice for the two girls to see each other again and catch up on each other's lives when Kaykay had decided to move to LA.

It was a lovely night for the four of them. They stayed up till 4am talking. Both Sierra and KayKay were understanding of Y/N's situation. But just like everyone else in Y/N's life, they advised her to reach out to him and clear things out between them.

Y/N rolled her eyes softly and switched the subject. Thankfully they pretended not to notice and dropped it, at least for that night.

The young girl decided to move to Australia a few months later to clear her mind and heal. The girls supported her decision and helped her pack. Even with the distance between her and the girls, they remained close as ever.

Every other day or so, at least one of the girls would talk to her over the phone. It would mostly be basic stuff that was discussed, like how they were doing, though the friend always asked Y/N about it to check up on her and her mental health.

Y/N remembers how ecstatic she felt when KayKay and Ashton got together. She thought they were great for each other, and she was happy for both of her friends. But the feeling didn't last long when KayKay brought up a well-known subject that Y/N dreaded. She tried to change the topic, but KayKay was stubborn and insistent.

“KayKay, can you please stop talking about Calum?” Y/N begged Kaykay on their latest call.

“Look, Y/N/N, all I’m trying to say is that you two should talk to finally sort out this situation. Even though he denies it, Cal is not fine. He misses you, and we all can tell.” Kaykay said, looking over her shoulder seeing the guys on stage doing soundcheck, Calum standing out among them, looking solemn. “I still don’t understand why you broke up with him; it really hurt both of you.”

“I already told you, Kaykay, it was for the best. I’m no good for him. Besides, no one asked you to understand. It’s my life and my decisions,” Y/N said, her phone placed between her left shoulder and cheek as she made her bed.

Kaykay took a deep breath, feeling fed up with her friend, her patience wearing thin.

“Y/N, I’ve been your friend since kindergarten; I know you. I know what you like and dislike, what you love and don’t, what you hate, what hurts you, and what is good for you. And breaking up with him was not good for you. It wasn’t good for either of you. And as your best friend Y/N/N, I have to call you out on this stupid decision you made in leaving him. I know you only want what’s best for him but think about him and his feelings, he was part of the relationship too, you know? He had a say in it. You could’ve talked to him about your issues and sorted it all through with him. And I have no doubt you guys would’ve still been together today, living happily ever after.

I’ll let you know that he still loves you. There hasn’t been one day where he doesn’t think or speak highly of you. I know you love him, so please, for the love of God, sort this shit out soon. I don’t like seeing my dear friends hurting because of one simple mistake, okay? I love you.”

Y/N stayed silent as Kaykay hung up; her words had a more significant effect on her than she thought.

7 days later, she still thought about it.

Could all the hurting really have been avoided if she had talked to him?

The months filled with nights spent crying herself to sleep?

The sorrow she’d feel clawing at her heart at the mere mention of him?

The curious thoughts that haunted her, late at night, wondering if he was okay if he was at least happy?

If she had confided in him her insecurities, could the aftermath never have happened?

She didn’t want to admit it, but Kaykay was right. Leaving Calum hurt her tremendously. There were times she thought of calling him, but her self-conscious thoughts would prevent her from doing it every time. Now she knew they were wrong, and the demons inside her head were wrong.

Cal missed her and still loved her. She was sure of it now.

Y/N let out a choked sob, tears brimming in her eyes. She started crying. She glanced at the last recent picture of her and Calum on her nightstand before snatching it, clutching it at her chest while sinking to the ground.

They were really happy until Y/N ruined it, and it was her fault.

Ashton Irwin- You Look Happy/It’s Time For Me To Be Happy

Author’s Note: Some parts of this imagine are inspired by 5SOS “Lie To Me.” Enjoy :)

Word Count: 879 words

Pairing: Ashton Irwin x Female! Reader

Warnings: None

Genre: Angst?

Summary: After their breakup, Y/N and Ashton haven’t seen each other at all for months. What happens after they bump into each other at a party, and Y/N finds out Ashton has moved on?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Y/N's POV

- - - - -

I glance over my shoulder at the sound of laughter, seeing Ashton across the room with his friends. He looks down at his new girl, KayKay, in his arms. Their eyes filled with adoration for one another.

I smile a bit, feeling a sinking feeling in my stomach before brushing it off and turning towards my friends again.

I spend most of the evening in my head, nodding every now and then to pretend I was listening to the conversation.

I was too far in my thoughts, I didn't realize when someone called out my name.

"Y/N?" I hum, looking up.

"What do you think?"

"Think about what?" I asked, confused.

My friends glance at each other for a moment, concerned at my behavior this evening, before one of them, Sky, turns to me. "About my wedding colors."

I shrug, "I don't think it really matters what I think."

"Yes, it does," she says before walking towards me, "you're going to be one of my bridesmaids. I want you to like the colors you'll be wearing."

She smiles at me while placing her arm across my shoulders.

I smile back at her before she resumes the conversation.

My childhood best friend, Alya, moves to stand next to me before leaning down.

"You okay?" She whispers.

I look at her for a moment before shaking my head.

"Okay..." she whispers, turning towards our group of friends.

"We'll be back," She announces to them before she grabs my hand and leads me away from them and the crowd of people.

We walk towards the back of the house, spotting the unoccupied backyard.

"Let me guess, it's Ashton," she says once we’re outside.

I nod, "I hate being here. All that this place does is bring back memories of our time together. Alya, we lived here for four years for god's sake, my mind can't help it.”

I wrap my arms around myself, searching for comfort. “Being here makes me nauseous and sad."

She waits for me to finish before she starts to speak. "I think you should leave."

I look at her with an "are you serious?" look before she shakes her head. "Not just here. I mean, maybe leave the city, the state, the country, I don't know! Whichever one is best for you."

I look at her with a puzzled look.

"You could travel the world. Go to places you've always wanted to go. Be happy and alone while healing from this."

I let it sink in while I stared at her. "What about you guys? What about Sky's wedding?"

"You can come back a week before and leave a week after it.”

She sees my hesitation and puts her arms around me comfortably. “Don’t worry, Y/N/N. We'll be fine as long as you're happy. That’s all that matters right now."

I look at her for a moment, wondering what I did to deserve her and my group of friends. "I'll think about it," I say, smiling at her.

She smiles at me before letting me go, "come on, let's head back inside."

"You go ahead. I want to stay here for a while."

She nodded before going back inside the house.

I stand in the backyard while looking at the stars, not keeping track of time.

I was surrounded by comfortable silence until I heard a voice behind me that made me freeze.

"Hey..."

I stayed in my spot, paralyzed, while I heard footsteps come close behind me before settling next to me.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? The night sky."

I quickly glance next to me, seeing Ashton looking up at the sky. He looks as handsome as I remember.

"Yeah," my voice cracked, and I cleared my throat, "you can see the stars for once."

I hear him hum before we stay silent.

"You look happy," I say, looking up at him.

"I am," Ashton says, "I haven't felt like this in a while."

I nod, trying to push away my feelings, "Good to know."

Abruptly, I left the backyard, leaving Ashton alone. I look around the living room, spotting Alya next to the entrance with our friend Miles.

I walk up to them, "Hey Miles."

He smiles at me, nodding in greeting.

I turned towards Alya, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm heading out." I say, making eye contact with her, hoping she knew what I meant with "heading out."

"Already?" She asks, nodding slightly, letting me know she understood.

"Yeah, I can't stand this place," I say as I see Ashton glance around the room from the corner of my eye.

She steps towards me before embracing me in her arms once again. We hugged for a moment, both of us knowing fully well this was a goodbye hug.

"Good luck," she says while we pulled away.

"Take care." I smile at her before nodding at Miles.

I leave, walking down the steps towards my car. I open the door before sitting down and closing it. I sit for a moment, letting everything sink in. I'm really doing this, aren't I?

After a few moments, I start my car, looking at the place that was once my home for the last time before driving off.

It's time for me to be happy...

~the end~

Finnick Odair- She

Author’s Note: I hope you guys enjoy this imagine. It’s my first Finnick and Hunger Games imagine, I decided to try this out. If you have any requests for imagines, possibly with a character from the Hunger Games, let me know. Enjoy! :)

Word Count: 578 [short but sweet <3]

Pairing: Finnick Odair x Female! Reader

Warnings: None

Genre: Fluff

* * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

Finnick’s POV

She always consumed my thoughts.

Day and night, she would always appear, even in my dreams.

But I didn’t know her.

I had no clue what, where, or who she was.

I didn’t even know her name.

I wake up and go to bed thinking of her. The first and last thing I see is her face.

I’ve seen her so many times, I’ve memorized everything about her. Her eyes and her lips.

There would be times where I’d think I’ve seen her when it was just my imagination. I’d realize this when I tried to get closer to her. But she would always fade away or get lost in the crowd of people. I’d leave the area, feeling disappointed that my mind had tricked me once again.

But still, even though I didn’t know her, she's my everything.

She's the only thing that gave me a sense of hope. Memories of her in my dreams kept me going through the day. It made all the pain and trauma I’ve experienced since participating in the games worth it when I dreamed of her for another night.

Sleepless nights from nightmares were replaced with full sleep caused by dreams with appearances of her in them.

I’ve just woken up from one when I decided to take a walk. One that would hopefully help me gather my thoughts and find out who she was.

I walked towards the shore of a lake, far away from my home in the Victors’ Village. I stared at the water that reflected the sunrise on the horizon.

I sat down, deciding to recollect what took place in my dream.

I was laying down on my bed, and she was in my arms. Her back pressed against my chest, my arms tightly wrapped around her waist.

It was nine in the morning when we woke up. We stayed silent and still until around 1:32.

She turned around, meeting my gaze. We stared at each other’s eyes for a while, getting lost in the moment.

She raised her hand, placing it on my cheek tenderly.

I moved my head a bit to kiss her palm before resting it again against the pillow.

She smiled at me with the same smile I fell for.

Sighing, I stood up, walking beside the lake, thinking of her again.

“If only it wasn’t just a dream.” I thought.

I was too in my head, I wasn’t watching where I was going. It was only when I accidentally bumped into someone that I finally came back to reality.

“Oh! I’m so sorry.” I hear a familiar voice say. A voice I’ve heard often in my dreams.

I looked up quickly, seeing the girl who’s taken over my mind. It was her.

It was really her.

We stare at each other for a while as everything drowned in the background. The sounds of birds chirping in the early morning and people getting up, ready to leave their homes for work, fading into nothing. As if me and her were the only people in the world.

I clear my throat and snap out of my daze, realizing I haven’t said anything.

“It’s fine, I was at fault too.”

She smiled at me, and my heart stopped beating for a second before I felt myself melt on the inside.

“My name’s Y/N.” She says, stretching her hand towards me.

I gladly shake her hand while grinning at her.

“I’m Finnick. Finnick Odair.”

~the end~

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like...some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit...

Calum Hood- “Heaven is wherever I’m with you.”

Author's Note: This was requested by @noshame-cth-bb, I hope you enjoy it :)

Word Count: 922

Pairing: Calum Hood x Female! Reader

Warnings: None

Genre: Fluff

Prompt: #15. "Heaven is wherever I'm with you."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Calum's POV

"How do I look?"

I turned around, seeing all the beauty in front of me. It amazed me how beautiful Y/N looked in any type of clothing.

I smiled, "you look stunning."

I saw her cheeks turn light pink as she gave me a small smile.

She went to her nightstand, grabbing her phone and car keys before turning towards me, "you ready?"

I nodded, still smiling. We were going to Luke's home to celebrate the release of our fifth studio album. It was going to be me and the band, our girlfriends, our new manager and team, and a few other people in the industry.

We stepped outside, closing the door behind us, making our way towards Y/N's car since she wanted to drive this time.

As we put on our seatbelts, Y/N started the car, later driving us to our destination.

We sat in comfortable silence, enjoying each other's presence during the car ride.

After we arrived, we got out of the car, closing the doors, walking towards Luke's home.

I smiled at her, reaching down to hold her hand.

She smiled back at me as we went up the steps before pushing the door that was already halfway open.

There were a few people inside. I assumed everyone else was already in the backyard.

"Hey, Cal! Good to see you bud," Ashton said, walking towards us, a big smile plastered on his face.

He hugged me, patting me in the back before pulling away and turning towards Y/N, "you too Y/N/N."

She smiled at him, "hey Ash."

They hugged for a moment before we started talking about what we did during the small break we took after we finished the album, and we later started walking towards the backyard of Luke's home.

I saw everyone chatting with one another once we stepped out.

I turned towards Y/N, seeing her eyes wander across the backyard.

"You okay?" I whispered in her ear, knowing how bad her anxiety could get at public gatherings.

She smiled, nodding, "yeah, I'm good."

Her response didn't seem genuine. I frowned a bit before deciding to drop the subject, knowing she wouldn't tell me anything until she was ready.

"Hey Y/N!"

I looked up, seeing Crystal approaching us.

Y/N smiled, "Hi Crystal," she said before hugging her.

"Come with us, we haven't hung out in a while, all four of us."

We turned to see Kaykay and Sierra sitting down on a couch waving at us.

"Okay," Y/N turned towards me, kissing me on the cheek, "see you later Cal."

I waved at her goodbye before approaching the guys, getting into a conversation with them.

It's been a few hours, not too long when I felt someone nudge me while I was talking to Luke.

"Cal?" I looked down, seeing Y/N nudging my arm. I leaned down to hear her better.

"Can we leave?" She said in a small voice.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned, looking at her. I knew the answer before she could respond just by looking into her eyes.

I nodded before turning to Luke, "I'll talk to you later, we have to go."

He nodded, understandably, turning towards Y/N, smiling at her.

"It was good seeing you again Y/N," he said, hugging her.

"You too," she said.

We went inside and started walking towards the door when Michael saw me from the kitchen.

"Hey Cal, leaving already?" I heard him ask while he looked at the fridge.

"Yeah, Y/N isn't feeling well."

He turned towards us, a beer in hand with a frown on his face, "okay, well I hope you feel better, Y/N/N."

She gave him a small smile before lowering her head, looking at the floor.

We left Luke's home, walking towards Y/N's car. She moved towards the driver's seat, not glancing at me. I opened the door, getting in the passenger seat.

We sat in silence for a bit. I knew that Y/N should be left alone for a minute to let her collect her thoughts before she was ready to talk. And after a few minutes, she turned to look at me.

"I'm sorry. I just got very nervous seeing all those people there," she said, looking down at her hands.

I took her right hand in mine, bringing it to my lips.

"You have nothing to worry about," I said, kissing her hand, "all I want is for you to be comfortable."

She blushed slightly, giving me a small smile.

"So... where do you wanna go?" She asked, placing her hands on the wheel before looking at me.

"Wherever you want," I replied, leaning my head against the back of the seat, staring at her lovingly.

I laughed at the “are you serious?” look she gave me.

"Y/N/N, I don't care where we go as long as it's with you. Heaven is wherever I'm with you."

Her blush deepened, a small smile creeping into her face. She waved her hand, trying to dismiss the comment while looking away, "don't tell me that."

"It's the truth, love."

She turned towards me, smiling. She leaned against the console, pressing her lips against mine.

"I love you."

I grinned, "I love you too."

She moved away, putting her seatbelt on before starting the car.

"So, where are we going?" I asked, putting my seatbelt on.

I looked up at her, seeing her smirk, "you'll see."

Michael Clifford- Forever and Always

Author’s Note: Double post for my birthday <3

Word Count: 2296

Pairing: Michael Clifford x Reader

Warnings: None

Genre: Pure fluff

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Michael's POV

She was my reason to live. Even after all this time, she could still make my heart race and make me feel butterflies. I loved her more than I loved anyone else. She makes me feel things I've never experienced before. She's my whole world. I only felt safe when I was around her. Heaven was anything involving her. She helped me restore my faith and made me believe again.

I remember the first time we met. I was at a party with the boys, celebrating the release of our debut album. I was talking with Calum when I heard her laugh. I turned around and felt chills run down my spine when our eyes met. I was starstruck. She was so beautiful. She had this look in her eyes that made me want to get to know her. I felt such a connection to her it was hard to look away as Calum tried to get my attention. I never believed in love at first sight, but I knew I had found it when I looked at her.

I got her number afterward. Our relationship progressed since then and my feelings for her grew even more. We had made things official after going on a few dates and confessing our feelings for each other. I knew we were meant to be together when, after four months of dating, I took her to Sydney to meet my parents.

Me and Y/N were outside my parent's home. She hugged both of my parents, thanking them for the dinner they made. They smiled at her, telling her that it was lovely to meet her. She looked at me and smiled, walking away from us, giving me some space to talk to my parents.

I looked towards my mom. She smiled and said, "can I give you some advice?" I nodded.

"Please don't let her go," my mom said. I smiled, leaning down, giving her a hug.

"I won't mom, I'm planning on keeping her forever," I said while hugging her.

"I know she's the one," I said, pulling away, looking at both of my parents.

"I'm happy for you Mike," my dad said, looking over my shoulder, "you deserve to be happy."

I looked over my shoulder, seeing Y/N standing a few feet from the car, looking at us while smiling.

I felt my mom nudge my arm, and I turned back around. She smiled at me before saying, "go after her."

I nodded while smiling. I hugged both of them again, promising them that I'll be coming back soon.

I walked towards Y/N, grabbing her hand and intertwining our fingers together.

"You ready?" she asked, looking at me with adoration in her eyes.

"Yeah," I said, leaning down and kissing her on the cheek.

* * * * * *

After almost five years of dating, I knew it was time to propose to her. I spent many weeks looking for the perfect ring for her. Many of those days, I was with the boys who were there to help me find the ring and for moral support.

We found the ring on a Sunday evening.

"This is probably like the fifth store we've gone to today," Calum complained.

Luke and Ashton scolded him as Ashton smacked Calum on the shoulder.

"Don't pressure him," Ashton said.

Calum rubbed his shoulder, muttering a small "sorry."

I felt Luke put his hand on my back while I looked at all the engagement rings.

"Found anything yet?" Luke asked, looking at the rings with me.

"Not yet," I muttered.

"Can I help you guys with something?" We looked up, seeing a girl that looked to be in her 20s.

"I don't know, maybe," I said, looking back down at the rings.

"He's looking for an engagement ring for his girlfriend," Luke replied, looking at the younger girl.

"Do you want a silver or a gold band for the ring?" she asked, looking with us.

"I think silver. She's always preferred silver over gold."

"Okay, come with me."

We walked with her towards the end of the counter.

"Here they are," she said, pointing at them.

I looked at each ring closely. I stopped my search when one particular ring caught my eye.

"Can I see that ring?" I asked the employee.

"This one?" She asked, pointing at it. I nodded.

She slid the glass door and grabbed the ring, handing it to me.

"This is a vintage-inspired ring," the girl said while I looked at the ring more closely in awe.

"Instead of having a traditional diamond, it has a sapphire stone."

I continued looking at the ring. It was perfect. Y/N loved anything vintage-inspired, and she's always loved the color blue because it was the color of the diamond in the necklace, The Heart Of The Ocean, from one of her favorite movies, Titanic. She'd always tell me how much she loved the necklace every time we watched the movie.

I smiled, "this is the one."

* * * * * *

After buying the ring, I asked Y/N’s brother for his approval of our marriage when he and his family came to visit.

"Hey Y/B/N, can we talk for a second?" He nodded, kissing his mother's head and joining me outside.

"What's up, Mike?"

"I want to ask you your opinion on something," I said, turning to look at him.

"Sure," he replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"What would you think about me marrying your sister?"

He looked at me in shock, "wait, really?" I nodded, getting nervous.

He looked away for a second, whispering "wow."

I was about to speak when he turned towards me again.

"You want my honest opinion?" I nodded again.

"I think that'd be great," he smiled at me, "you would have all of my support."

I let out a breath of relief as he patted me on the back.

"When are you proposing?"

"After I ask for your parent's blessing," I replied.

"Good luck with that."

I chuckled nervously, "thanks."

"Don't worry, they'll give it to you."

* * * * * * *

A few days after getting Y/B/N's approval, I asked her parents for their blessing.

Y/N's phone buzzed, disrupting our conversation.

"I'll be back Mikey, I'm gonna go answer this call," Y/N said, kissing me on the cheek before going outside.

I faced the kitchen where Y/N's family was. I entered and looked at them.

"Hey, umm, can I speak with you guys for a second?" I say, scratching the back of my neck.

They all looked at each other for a moment before Y/N's mother turned towards me.

"Sure," Y/N's mother said, signaling her husband and son to sit down before sitting down herself.

Y/B/N gave me a knowing look. I nodded at him, and he nodded back understandingly, giving me a small encouraging smile.

I sat down while the three of them looked at me.

"What do you want to talk to us about?" She asked.

"Well as you know, me and Y/N have been dating for five years now." They all nodded, urging me to go on.

"And I respect you guys a lot, and I consider you all family by now-"

"Okay, cut to the chase Michael," Y/N's father said, cutting me off, "what do you really want to talk to us about?"

I tried looking for the right words to say. "I..." I sighed, going for it.

"Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N, may have your permission and blessing to marry your daughter?" I asked, looking at them nervously.

They looked at each other for a moment. Y/N's mother looked at Y/B/N, who nodded at her.

She looked at me, nodding, "you have my permission. I wouldn't want anyone else to marry Y/N but you." She stood up, opening her arms for a hug.

I let out a short breath of relief while standing up to hug her.

"You know you can call me Y/M/N no need to be fancy here," She said while hugging me.

I laughed, nodding my head, "okay."

I sat down again and looked towards Y/N's father, "Mr. Y/L/N?"

He looked at me for a second before leaning towards me from across the table, "you know I actually like you."

I raised my eyebrows, surprised. He nodded, continuing, "you're a great person Michael, and you've proven that as time passed by."

"So..." I began.

"So you have our blessing," he said before smiling.

I felt my heart leap with joy. I stood up, extending my hand for him to shake, "thank you so much Mr. Y/L/N, I won't let you down."

"You can call me Y/D/N," he said, standing up, hugging me instead of shaking my hand.

I nodded, hugging him back before sitting down with them.

"Have you gotten the ring yet?" Y/M/N asked.

I nodded, smiling, getting the velvet box out. I opened it, turning it around so they could see.

I saw Y/M/N gasp in shock, tears welling up in her eyes as she took the box into her hands.

"Oh my god, it's beautiful," she said softly, "she's going to love it."

"I hope so," I said, smiling at them.

She handed me the box back when we heard the front door open.

I put it back in my pocket as Y/N entered the kitchen.

"Hey, sorry I took so long, Y/F/N was freaking out for no reason, you know how she is." We all laughed.

"Well, now you're here," I said, wrapping my arm around her shoulders, smiling.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her parents exchange a glance while smiling.

* * * * * * *

Everything was ready for the proposal. We were on a beach in Greece.

Y/N was standing in front of me, looking at the sun that was starting to set while smiling. Y/N had always told me how much she loved sunsets. Every year on our anniversary, I took her to Greece, knowing how much she loved that place, to celebrate our anniversary, and every day we saw the sunset.

I looked around at all the people with us, each of them giving me a small smile while my bandmates, my family, and hers gave me a thumbs up.

I saw Calum mouth "good luck" to me. I nodded, silently thanking him for his words of encouragement.

The box in the pocket of my pants started feeling heavy as I approached her.

"It looks so beautiful," she said, looking at the sky, while I wrapped my arms around her.

"Not as beautiful as you," I said.

She smiled, turning to look at me, "thank you for bringing my family out here with us."

"No problem, besides, I know how much they mean to you. I had to bring them out here for our fifth anniversary," I said, kissing her bare shoulder, nuzzling my face in her neck.

"Also, I love them like I love my family."

"It seems like my family loves you too," she said, looking over my shoulder seeing her family. I turned, seeing them looking at us.

"Yeah, your dad too," I chuckled.

"Shockingly," she said while giggling.

"Hey, look," I said while turning her to face the front, "the sun is about to set."

We looked at the sunset in awe.

After a while, I saw the sky darkened, and I knew it was time.

I gently turned her around to face me. She looked at me a bit confused as I grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes.

"Y/N, I love you more than words can describe, but I'll try. You're the only girl who can put a smile on my face even when I don't want to. You can make me laugh even in my lowest moments. You've been there for me during my ups and downs, my highs and lows. I'm kind of surprised you've still stuck around," I said, laughing softly.

"The last five years have been the best years of my life because I spent them all with you. I want to be with you forever and for the rest of our lives. I want to grow old with you and have kids that look like us, running around our home. I want us to be together through all that life has us face. I want to love you every single day like I have for the past five years. There's so much more that I could say, but we have more than enough time for me to tell you. So Y/N, " I said, grabbing the blue velvet box from my pocket. I got down on one knee, looking up seeing tears in her eyes, with her hand over her mouth in shock as I opened the blue box, "will you marry me?"

She looked down at the box for a moment and looked back at me. She looked into my eyes.

"Yes, a million times yes," she said, tears leaving her eyes.

I let out a breath of relief, standing up, hearing our friends and family cheer as I placed the ring on her ring finger before kissing her.

"I can't wait to make you happy forever," I whispered against her lips after pulling away.

"You already have love," she said, looking into my eyes.

I pressed my forehead against hers, smiling while looking into her eyes.

"I love you," she whispered lovingly.

My smile widened, "I love you too, forever and always."

and they lived happily ever after

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Hey," Michael said, shaking Y/N a bit, "wake up."

She opened her eyes, looking up at Michael.

He smiled, seeing her beautiful Y/E/C eyes, "happy birthday, love."

She groaned, turning around, facing away from him.

He frowned a bit, not understanding her reaction.

For as long as he's known Y/N, he knew she hated her birthday. He didn't know the reason why though. He would ask her about it, but she always shrugged it off. The last time he had asked her, she had turned around, facing him, and replied with, "I just feel like it's a waste of time, you know?" That just left Michael even more confused, but he didn't want to push it any further, so he dropped the subject.

Even though he knew she despised her birthday, he still wanted to do something special for her. He knew that chances are she's going to hate it, and maybe even him, but he still wanted to try. He wanted to try and change her mind about her birthday. He had the whole day planned out. He wanted today to be special for her. Special enough to change her mind.

"Come on, I have something special planned out for us today," he said, nudging Y/N, who didn't budge.

"Come on Y/N/N, please," he said, pleadingly, "for me?"

Y/N turned to face him, seeing his bottom lip out in a pout.

"Ugh fine," she replied, getting up, heading towards the bathroom to shower.

Michael smiled, getting up from the bed.

"And I also made you some breakfast," he said, leaning on their bedroom door.

"Wow, and you didn't burn down the kitchen? Impressive," she said from the bathroom.

Michael chuckled, shaking his head, making his way towards the kitchen.

After Y/N got dressed, they both ate breakfast and made their way towards Michael's car.

* * * * * *

Michael drove them to the park. Y/N looked at him, confused. He just smiled, getting out of the car, making his way towards Y/N's side, opening the door for her.

"What are we doing here?" She asked him.

"We're going to take a walk and have a picnic," he said while getting out a basket from the back seat.

"Okay," she said, still looking confused.

After their picnic, they walked back to the car as the sun started to set.

Y/N made her way towards the car as Michael shut the door to the back seat after putting away the basket.

He felt his phone buzz. He took it out from his pocket, checking it. He smiled, seeing the text message he's been waiting for.

"We're all ready :) " from Kaykay.

They drove back to their home in silence, enjoying each other's presence.

"Today's been nice," Y/N said, breaking their comfortable silence.

"I'm glad you liked it," He said, grabbing her hand and placing a kiss on the back of it.

After a few minutes, they arrived at their home. They stepped out of the car and closed the doors. Making their way towards the steps, he reached down and held her hand. She smiled at him as she began opening the door.

She looked around a bit, noticing how dark it was. She reached towards the light switch, switching it on.

"Surprise!" Everyone jumped when the lights turned on.

Y/N had her hands over her mouth in shock. All her family and friends were in front of her.

She looked at her family, whom she hasn't seen in a year, "you guys, what are you doing here?"

"It was Michael's idea to bring us here for your birthday," Y/N's cousin replied.

"Thank you," Y/N said, looking at Michael.

"Happy birthday, love," he said, smiling at her reaction.

"Okay, can we eat already? I'm starving," Y/N's brother said.

They all laughed, making their way towards the kitchen.

* * * * * * *

Michael looked around the living room, looking for his love. It's been a few minutes since she's been gone, and he was starting to worry.

He frowned for a second, not finding her anywhere, "I'll be right back," Michael said to Calum, who nodded, as he stood up from the couch, going upstairs.

After looking around the house for a while, Michael approached the balcony, the only place he hasn’t searched, immediately seeing her figure through the glass doors.

Y/N was standing on the balcony of her home, enjoying the view of the night sky.

"Hey, I was looking for you," Michael said, stepping into the balcony, closing the door halfway behind him.

She looked at him, "sorry, I wanted to look at the sky for a while," she said, looking back at the sky.

She turned around again as Michael approached her.

"You know, you didn't have to bring my whole family out here for my birthday," Y/N said, looking at Michael.

"I wanted to though, it's a special day for you," He said, wrapping his arm around her.

They stood outside in silence, looking at the stars. The only sounds coming from inside their home, where everyone was celebrating, not noticing their missing presence.

"You know," she began, taking his arm off of her, grabbing his hand, "how much I hate my birthday?" He nodded, looking away from the sky, giving her his full attention.

"You know the reason why?" Michael shook his head slowly.

She sighed. She was about to speak when Michael said, "you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

She smiled at him, "I want to though, you deserve to have an explanation."

"Okay," he mumbled, waiting for her to continue.

"The reason why I hate my birthday is because of my grandfather." Michael looked at Y/N confused.

"He, umm," she paused for a moment, trying not to break down in front of him, "he passed away on my birthday."

Michael stood there stunned. He saw tears well up in her eyes, "l-I never got to meet him or know him personally, which really sucked,” she paused, failing to contain her tears.

"After that, I saw no point in celebrating my birthday. I just couldn’t," she said, wiping her tears.

"I'm so sorry to hear that Y/N/N, I can't imagine what that must've been like for you," he said, pulling Y/N close to him, holding her in his arms.

"It's fine," she said as Michael hugged her, “it still hurts, but I’m better now.”

They stood in each other's embrace for a few minutes while Y/N calmed down. She pulled away from him, grabbing both of his hands.

"Thank you again, Mikey, for everything," she whispered, looking into his eyes, "you've always made sure to keep a smile on my face. You make me really happy. You've made today very special for me. Thank you."

He smiled at her, “you’re welcome love.” He leaned down, placing a kiss on top of her head.

"Come on, let's head back inside, they're probably wondering where we are."

He led her inside their home. They went downstairs, seeing everyone talking with one another. He saw Y/N smile, seeing her family by the kitchen with Michael’s family. They walked towards them, seeing them smile while looking at the two lovebirds.

"Thanks for bringing us here Michael," Y/N's mother said once Michael and Y/N were in front of them, taking a sip from her drink.

"It was my pleasure, I know how much you guys mean to her."

Her family and Michael’s stared in awe as Y/N and Michael looked at each other with so much love in their eyes.

They glanced at each other before whispering, "they really are good for each other."

~the end~
