Chapter Text
Michael, Ashton, Calum and Luke had a rare fortnight off from performing so they decided that for the first day they would just play video games
For some reason while they were playing Mario kart Michael wasn't winning which Luke thought was very unusual so he turned to Michael and said low enough so that only Michael would hear him "Is everything Ok Mikey you seem a little distant" Michael just said "I'm fine, I'm just going to go to my room for a bit ok" Luke just nodded and gave a sad smile.
As soon as Michael was in his room he pulled his phone out from his pocket and went onto twitter. He was only reading the hate tweets
@Michael5sos is a fag
@Michael5sos Shave off that hideous hair on your massive head
@Michael5sos Skinny jeans are for skinny people not fat shits like you
@Michael5sos We see the way you look at luke thankfully he isn't a fag like you
Most of these tweets were about Michael being gay but he hadn't told anybody not even the rest of the band. To the "fans" these were just assumptions.
After an hour and a half of thinking Michael had decided to tell the other band members a big secret he had been keeping from them for years. He headed downstairs and announced that he had something to say. Calum and Ashton groaned that they had to pause the game but Luke had lost interest in the game and said to Calum and Ashton to stop being dicks and listen to what Michael had to say. Luke looked at Michael and said "Go on, Mikey" with an encouraging smile.
Michael smiled back and said "well guys I have something really big to tell you and if you hate me I get it" He had barely finished talking when Ashton said "We would never hate you... Whatever it is"
Michael continued by saying "I just want you guys to know that" There was a 5 minute wait before Luke said "You can tell us later if that would be better for you" It was as if Michael had never heard Luke when he said "I've made the decision that... I'm Gay" There was an awkward silence before Luke got up and hugged Michael and said "I would never hate you Mikey you have made a very brave decision to tell us and we support you 110%" Ashton hugged Michael as well and said almost the exact same thing.
The next thing that happened came as a shock to Michael, Luke and Ashton.. Calum got up and walked right passed them and shouted right in Michaels face "YOUR DISGUSTING WHY CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL YOU FAGGOT"
It took a minute to sink in what Calum had said before Michael ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Luke and Ashton were still stood in the living room stunned by what Calum had just said. Luke said "Ash can you go talk to Calum and I'll Talk to Michael" Ashton nodded and went up the stairs to his and calum's room while luke went the opposite direction to the bathroom
Luke approached the bathroom and heard loud sobs so he knocked on the door and said it was him. Soon after, the bathroom door opened and a crying Michael attached himself to Luke's arms. "W-what did I d-d-do w-wrong?" Said Michael through sobs. "You didn't do anything you were being brave and announcing something most people find very very difficult" Luke said still hugging a crying Michael on the bathroom floor. Luke was running his hand through Michaels hair which he liked..
"I-i-i've obviously done something to upset him, I haven't changed i'm the same person I was an hour ago" There was a pause before Luke said "We know you are it's just, you know Calum doesn't really like the ... um .. how do i put th-" "He hates fat ugly homo's like me" said Michael "HEY!" shouted luke "Don't you dare say that again you are not fat or ugly your.." "I'm What" said Michael
"Your perfect"
