    Flustered

    You and your older brother, Alex, are members of 5SOS, and after rehearsal the six of you end up at a friend’s party. Everyone’s a little buzzed, but the atmosphere takes a turn when the argument you and Luke started earlier that day reignites in front of everyone. What begins as another shouting match quickly becomes entertainment for the rest of the band—until one unexpected comment changes everything. In the heat of the argument, you point out something about Luke that catches him completely off guard, leaving him blushing and unable to think of a comeback. Realizing you’ve actually managed to fluster the one person who always has something sarcastic to say, you can’t resist teasing him. The room falls silent as Luke struggles to recover, and for the first time, everyone starts wondering if all that fighting has been hiding something else.

    Severe Thunderstorms

    A routine band practice ends with dark clouds rolling overhead, forcing the six friends to walk home through a storm that grows worse by the minute. By the time they reach the house, they’re completely drenched, their phones blaring severe weather warnings as lightning splits the sky. They barely have time to change into dry clothes before the wind begins rattling the windows, thunder shakes the house, and the power suddenly cuts out, leaving them in total darkness. While everyone scrambles for flashlights, Luke goes frighteningly quiet. The storm has brought back memories of the family member he lost in severe weather years ago, and before long he’s struggling through a full-blown panic attack. You stay by his side for hours, helping him breathe through the fear as the storm rages outside. In the vulnerable silence that follows, years of unspoken feelings finally come to light, changing your friendship forever.
