hitting every red light kissing at the stop signs, darlin’ greenday’s on the radio and everything is alright now we’re turning up the headlights darlin’ we’re just taking it slow — Long Way Home 5 Seconds of Summer

It was supposed to be casual.

Two people enjoying eachothers company with no strings attached.

But when he began to crave your laugh, your smile, your touch, your skin when he was in a country across the globe from you… well, he knew whatever this is between you is certainly not just casual.

And boy did you feel the same. You dreaded whenever he and the boys would travel for their tours. This ‘casual’ little thing between you and Calum had lasted alot longer than either of you first thought. Weeks turned to months, and months somehow turned to a year.

Yet, there was still no label assigned to the relationship.

Calum had just returned from being away for three weeks with the band, and — as much as you hate to admit it — you felt like a giddy school girl.

Sat in the passenger seat of his car, your knees pulled up to your chest as you blissfully listen to the lyrics of Greenday’s song “Last Night On Earth” was what you imagined heaven feels like.

Sure, it’s nothing objectively special, but it became routine. Whenever Cal would come back from being away, he would take you on a drive — the custom CD he made for you playing on his radio, stealing kisses whenever the car stalls at both red lights and stop signs on your journey to nowhere.
