Sorry if it's terrible! I've had a bit of writer's block. And I really need more reviews, I want to know if whoever happens to be reading this story is actually enjoying it! Thanks :)
"What, can we stay the night?" I asked elatedly.
"If you want to," PJ replied.
I looked to Natasha. She looked back and smiled. That was the thing about us, we could communicate using facial expressions.
"Yeah, we'll stay," I grinned.
"Great! Now let's choose a movie to watch and get comfortable," PJ exclaimed, leading us into the living room, everyone trailing along behind like a long congo line, but without the dancing of course.
Natasha's POV
We were all huddled up on the floor in front of the sofa, the boys leaning over each others' shoulders to help each other with the editing, whilst Rose and I sat beside them, watching a movie on the large TV screen. The movie that we were watching was called Inception, and despite seeing it numerous times before we loved the movie and opted to watch it again.
However I happened to be sitting right beside Dan, and our close proximity meant that occasionally our arms or shoulders would brush. Each time they did, a feeling like electricity would shoot down my arm. Rose seemed to be completely zoned out, as she sat next to me, eyes fixated on the screen as if she were in a trance. But me on the other hand, wasn't really concentrating on the movie at all, I was instead a lot more interested at taking sneaky glances at Dan when he happened not to be looking in my direction. He looked even more gorgeous with the light from the laptop screen reflecting off of his perfect face. The light was dim in the room so the screen looked even brighter.
Reaching to my side I fumbled around for my glass of beer, not being bothered to divert my eyes away from the screen. Chris had decided that we all needed a drink and had been dishing them out to us whilst they edited the video and we watched the movie. When I finally found it, I raised it to my lips and gulped a bit more down, then returned the glass to its position on the carpet.
Already I was starting to feel slightly sleepy. My eyes couldn't concentrate on the screen properly any more, and when I found myself trying to, the picture would go all out of focus. Without even thinking, my neck decided that it would take a break from supporting my head and let it fall limply to the side. Which meant that it ended up landing directly on Dan's shoulder.
I felt him jolt slightly with surprise, then relax as he shuffled round so I could feel more comfortable. My eyelids were heavy, and it was a battle in itself to keep them open.
Letting out a shaky breath that I didn't even know I was holding, I subconsciously snuggled into him, and felt overcome with a feeling of warmth. And best of all, he didn't seem to protest. Instead I felt him lean into me, and an arm wrap securely around my waist.
When I peaked out of the corner of my eye, I realised that he was still facing the computer screen and chatting to the others in a quiet whisper, as if I wasn't even here. But I didn't mind, as long as I remained this close to him. When I looked back over to Rose, I giggled to myself when I saw that her head had flopped back onto the sofa, and she was fast asleep.
Then I felt Dan shift around, and a bit of shuffling from the boys' direction as the laptop was placed on the coffee table. I glanced at it and realised that they were uploading the video. Had I really been watching the movie for that long, long enough for them to edit the video?
Dan took one last swig of his beer before placing it back down and resting his head on top of mine. This was really awkward, but rather comfortable.
"Aww," Chris cooed from the other side of Dan. "Look at them, PJ, Phil."
Both PJ and Phil leaned around Chris and burst into fits of laughter when they saw our position. I frowned and ignored them, instead burying my head deeper into Dan's shoulder.
I heard someone standing up, and peeped an eye open to see Phil wandering over to flick the light on. The movie credits were scrolling down the screen, and I'd only just realised that the movie had actually finished. When the lights flashed on, I groaned in displeasure as the harsh brightness stung my sleepy eyes. Reluctantly untangling myself from Dan, I rubbed my eyes and squinted, allowing them time to adjust to the bright light.
"Philllll," I whined, lifting myself backwards onto the sofa with my arms. "Why did you do that? I was almost asleep."
"The movie's finished," he explained nonchalantly, deciding that he couldn't be bothered to walk all the way back round the sofa and opting to sit on the rug opposite Rose instead.
"And we've finished editing the video, it's uploading now," PJ added, "And Chris has an idea."
"Yeah," Chris nodded. "It's the best idea ever. All you need to do is follow me."
"Effort," I groaned, slumping back on the sofa. My eyes diverted to Dan, who's head was now resting on my leg. He seemed to be asleep by the soft snores he was making.
"Two of them are already asleep," Phil giggled, eyes darting between Rose and Dan.
"Don't worry, I'll wake them up," I smirked, devious plans whirring around inside my head. Grabbing the nearest sofa cushion, I held it behind my shoulder and then slammed it down with reasonable, but deliberately not too much force on Rose's face. It was a soft cushion anyway.
I burst out laughing as her brow creased, her head jolting upright. She turned to face me, eyes narrowing as she shot me an iron glare.
"What the fuck was that for, bitch?!" she sneered, and lunged at me. I batted at her with the cushion as she fought for it off me, and succeeded because I was too preoccupied with laughing so much that my hands lost grip. Now I was lying back on the sofa with her towering over me, cushion brandished in her hands like a weapon ready to strike.
"No Rose, no...!" I squealed when she smacked the cushion against my head repeatedly as I giggled underneath. Finally I managed to wrench it from her grip, chucking it across the room and out of her reach.
"Serves you right," Rose said with an amused smile as she climbed off the sofa, leaving me there, now with my hair completely ruined.
By this time Dan had already woken up. But he wasn't bothering to move.
"Come on guys, are you gonna come or not?" Chris asked, as him and PJ headed for the door. Phil quickly got up and joined them, soon followed by Rose. Which left Dan and I the only ones who weren't co-operating.
"You two lovebirds can stay here if you like, but we're off to have some actual fun," Chris smirked, earning a glare from both Dan and I.
"Whatever, coming," I sighed, and reluctantly stood up, "You coming, Dan?"
"Yeah... no," he slumped down even further so he was almost completely lying down on the floor. I stood there, a hand on my hip waiting for him.
"Help me up, Tash," he whimpered, blindly reaching out an arm for me to take. Sighing, I grabbed his arm and pulled him up, with some difficulty.
"You big baby," I cooed with an amused giggle. "Come on then, let's go and see where Chris and PJ want to take us."
He reluctantly trudged along behind me as I followed the other four.

"Why are we going to the attic?" I asked as we climbed single file up the ladder.
"You'll have to wait and see," PJ said, and once we were all in there I realised that the attic had actually been made into quite a cosy little room. The roof was slanted as expected, but the room was carpeted, and there seemed to be pillows, duvets and sleeping bags littering the floor.
"What are we doing?" Rose wondered, as the small hatch was shut and everyone sat down, eager to find out what they intended for us to do here.
Chris slipped out his iPad from behind his back, along with another box of beer cans. He switched it on and opened an app.
"I thought it'd be fun, since I just downloaded this app, to try it out," he explained, turning the screen so we could all see.
"Truth or dare?" I read off the screen.
"I love truth or dare!" Rose exclaimed, a smile plastered on her face.
"Yeah," PJ said, "but knowing Chris, he's going to change it to the 'super dirty' setting."
At that, I could see the colour drain from Phil's face, and stifled a giggle.
"Otherwise where's the fun?!" Chris chuckled, with a mischievous smirk.
"No, Chris..." Phil began, but was quickly cut off by Dan.
"Phil, don't be such a wimp, it'll be fun!" he slurred, reaching over to steal a can from the box Chris had brought up.
"He doesn't have to play!" Rose cut in defensively.
Everyone was silently chuckling to themselves. Phil had always been the most innocent out of all of them.
"Fine, I'll play!" Phil huffed, and everyone silently cheered. This was going to be... interesting.
