Hi! I was just thinking about wife or girlfriend reader who is waiting for Michael at home after the allegations first surface and she is there reassuring him that she will be there for him and that she believes him. Just fluff and heartbreak 😭 i wanna give him the biggest hug and he deserves the world’s biggest apology
believe you | michael jackson
- summary: michael comes home to you for a brief moment's peace amidst being thrown to the wolves during his dangerous world tour
word count: 3.6k
warning: angst. really just that, but there is some fluff. mentions of the false allegations. reader curses. i kept it vague though, i honestly think everything in this is kept vague. i'm sorry, it's just quite a hard topic for me to really delve into. but reader comforts michael, and i wish someone did irl. it's not all mediocre angst, i promise. it's mediocre fluff too! pacing is rushed
* no usage of y/n, michael refers to reader as 'baby' and 'sweetheart'
author's note: Hi, hi, hi anon! I hope this goes okay for you. And I hope you understand why this particular one is a lot shorter than all my other works. My heart hurts for him during these times, as do all the others' I assume. I know he felt the comfort of hundreds of fans back then, but I know he still must've felt so slighted. The sweetest angelface, I wish so much for so many things to be different for him. Anyway, I'm so sorry for the delay. I really hope this is okay enough for you ♡
Also note, I'm not kidding I actually kept this pretty vague. No namedrops, because none of it is worth the effort. And there is no instance where the reader feels any negativity towards Mike himself. Reader is there for him, through and through.
+++ not proofread, though everyone knows this by now. so beware of mixed usage of us and uk english xx
+++ english isn't my first language! and i'm not a professional writer by any means! regardless, I'm really hoping you all love this.

The silence in your apartment is almost deafening. It's practically suffocating, and if it wasn't for the sound of your pacing on the carpeted floor, you'd think you somehow have had a loss of hearing.
Biting the nail on your thumb, you eye the tabloid crap on the tabletop. The headlines beckoning, mocking you. The mute TV is currently broadcasting the news channel, reporting the same hellish thing, and you've never wanted to jump out the window the way you do now. Your mind feels like it’s going to explode.
Your heartbeat thunders in your ribcage, anxiety thrumming off of you. He's supposed to be here any second.
— take the lead !

𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: stifled by the suffocating pressures of fame, you offer an escape for michael, an after-hours date at the local roller rink. amidst the flashing neon lights, smooth hardwood floors, and the heavy funk groove of chaka khan, their playfulness shifts into something far deeper.
𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐬: friends turned to secret romance?, fluff, smut, mutual loss of virginity, consent is key, michael being sweet, but ends up being a freak, cunnilingus (f.receiving), unprotected p in v (practice safe sex please!), don't worry he pulls out in time, reader is thicc.

𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐲’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: this was supposed to be a double post but i finished late asf. i like to try out different aspects of black women in my writing so having a plus sized woman as the reader was a no brainer. don't worry, mikey knows how to handle it all. also, i know that i've put '70s michael out back to back, but if you can't tell; its one of my favorite eras of his. and obviously i know he definitely did not lose his virginity during this time period, but there’s something about two twenty year olds being so in love and lost within one another that they explore sexuality. i'm also gonna drop the song that's used in the story if you wanna hear it. rufus and chaka khan have a special place in my heart. as usual, if you have requests, hit me up! :)
Poor baby couldn’t even see straight, a time was had honey 😭

It was 1978 and the Jacksons decided to take a break from touring and head over to Mississippi for a vacation. From the beginning it was Jackie’s idea, suggesting the state to the others — saying it would be a great place to get away from it all.
Arriving and already settled into the place they’re staying, the Jackson’s head over to town — with Jackie leading them. “Jackie just where are we going exactly?” Tito yelled as they walked as a group.
“I want you guys to meet a friend of mine, he’ll be our guide to this place” Jackie turned explaining. As they walked and walked, the group noticed a small crowd, huddling and amused by a gentleman who stood on top of a barrel — seemed to be announcing something.
Jackie’s face lid up, immediately started walking faster towards the crowd — with the other brother following from behind. “Keith! There you are” Jackie yelled, interrupting the man in mid sentence. “Jackie, you’re finally here, you’re all here!” Keith exclaimed.
“So you’re gonna be our tour guide or what?” Jackie smiled hands on his hips, “That’s what I wrote to you in the letter” Keith responded happily. “Oh, by the way, my friends are hosting this party away from town — nothing fancy, just here for a good time —listening to some good music and some dancing — just announced it to the people here before you interrupted me, you boys down to come with?”
Marlon and Randy instantly looked at each other with excitement “of course we would" Jackie answered “whoa whoa Jackie, isn’t this supposed to be a tour free vacation?” Tito commented “don’t worry about it, it’s nothing like a tour — we’ll keep it lowkey is all” Jackie made sure.
As the four brothers were busy having their own separate emotions about the party, Michael looked around the crowd that started to scatter slowly. Suddenly, he noticed you were staring at him and his brothers — looking awfully curious. Your beauty was what pulled him in first, your smile — your glowing skin hitting the bright sun.
Michael smiled to you back, turning to his brothers briefly before walking over to you “so you're interested in going?” Michael asked, "I've never been so close standing next to a jackson member before, especially my favorite one ” you said with amusement not answering the question.
Michael chuckled looking down, forgot how incredibly famous and recognizable he is — couldn’t help but feel a bit flushed. “I was planning on singing there” you added, Michael perked up “oh really?” He smiled showing off his teeth.
“Yeah, but now hearing you guys might come — guess the spotlights already long gone” you joked, Michael laughed, rubbing the back of his neck “c’mon don’t say that — i’m sure you’ll get all the attention, i’ll make sure of it” he ended with a genuine tone.
You raised an eyebrow by Michael’s unintentional sweet talk “we just met” you smirked “plus i have a boyfriend.” Michael’s smile dropped hearing those words “awh– i’m awfully sorry i-i didn’t mean” you giggled by his stammering words “I’m just kidding, anyhow i gotta get going — maybe i’ll see you later at the party” you tilt your head then walking away with a wave. Michael waves back, already infatuated by you, he’s going to that party.
-
“Ooh — damn you feel that fresh breeze?” Jackie yelled. The Jacksons were now in the rode, with Jackie behind the wheel of a convertible. As the sun started to set, they were heading to the place where the party’s at.
While Jackie and Tito were up front — trying desperately not to get lost on the road, Michael, Marlon and Randy sit at back. Michael gazes over the wide field seeing the sun dipping — already daydreaming about the girl he just met down the street in town. He was really hoping you’d show up.
“Man, can’t believe we’re staying here for a whole week” Marlon groaned, his head up high staring at the sky with his eyes shut. “What’s so bad about Mississippi?” Randy questioned.
“It’s not about that, I just already miss her is all — things are getting serious too, finally went down on her” Marlon grins. Randy’s eyes widened while Michael subtly turned his head.
“shit — really? you gotta tell me how” Randy smiled. “Cut it out you two — Marlon keep your mouth shut Randy’s only sixteen” Jackie demanded.
“c’mon i’m turning seventeen soon” randy complains “yeah it might be good for him — worse case scenario he’ll turn out like you” Marlon laughed. “What does that have to do with anything??” Jackie’s brows furrowed. Marlon shrugged “you barely talk about it — which means your girl rarely wants you to do it” he joked.
Jackie scoffed while the rest snickered. “Alright I'll tell you — I'll be straight with it too, but I'll keep it discreet for the sake of the lady upfront” Marlon turns to Randy. As much as Michael dislikes talking about topics like these out in the open, he couldn’t help but keep quiet and eavesdrop on what possible advice Marlon was about to give — just for educational purposes.
“Alright listen, so every woman — once you get down between her legs, got a button on it, towards the top” Randy listened and so did Michael. “And if you want to keep a woman, you find it —lick that, not too soft — not too hard either. Just like eating ice cream ‘bout the same pressure you put on that” he continued with a smirk.
As Randy looked astounded by this new piece of information, Michael on the other hand stared at the distance, he didn’t know why he wanted to hear it in the first place — acting like he’ll do anything like that tonight.
The sun was long gone, everything was pitch black in the middle of nowhere, the only thing a person could see out in the distance — is the lit up barn cradled with light bulbs.
Almost everyone from town brought their friends over to the place, with a bodyguard guarding the door, all kinds of food and drinks. This place might as well be a new permanent establishment for the community.
The Jacksons were all scattered around, Jackie with Keith talking to others, Marlon and Tito were at the bar sitting and talking, and Michael amusingly watched Randy try and pick up some ladies twice his age from a short distance.
So far all the girls he talked to had only said the same things — him being absolutely talented and adorable, and walking away with shared giggles. Michael chuckled seeing how confused his younger brother was being on why none of them had seriously “swooned” over him yet.
“Any progress?” Michael walked over with a smile “i don’t get it, i basically did the same exact things you guys do when talking to girls — but none of ‘em did anything close to how the girls would react to you guys” Randy rubbed his hands onto his jeans.
“Maybe they just haven’t figured it out, you're about to turn twenty one in a couple of months” Michael joked “oh shut up” Randy slapped the back of his hand to Michael's chest.
As Michael laughed satisfyingly, he soon stopped once he saw you just by the entrance talking to the bodyguard — thanking him for letting you in. “H-hey i’ll talk to you later Randy — you keep trying kay” Michael walked off.
“Hey you made it, remember me?” Michael trying to keep his excitement from showing, your eyes lit up seeing him again — you instantly grew a smile. “Michael Jackson?— wouldn’t that question make more sense if I said it?” you joked.
You both laughed, with Michael feeling slightly embarrassed “sorry — I'm just happy you’re here.” You smiled widely seeing Michael all bashful “well why are we still here just standing? c’mon” You grabbed Michael’s hand — pulling him to the crowd.
Hearing the music flow, you and Michael immediately got into the groove — you finally got to see Michael, the so-called “skinniest Jackson” dance right next to you, his raw talent never misses, of course it’s fun trying to keep up with his energy.
“So you and your brothers gonna perform later?” you yelled through the music “you still gonna sing?” Michael yelled back. You playfully shrugged, walking a few footsteps closer to him “we’ll see where the night takes us” you smiled, Michael looking awfully joyous, took your hand and twirled you around, you let out a loud laugh.
–
“Alright everyone — that was amazing" the party host spoke to the mic the crowd cheered, and applauded. “you’d think things don’t get any better than this huh? Well, a friend told me — that we might have a special guest” As the crowd sounded amused, the Jackson brothers assembled near back stage
"I gotta go okay, let’s see where the night takes us” Michael trailed off, hanging into your hand and letting go dramatically, you smiled with utter amazement — watching Michael go.
“Please welcome the Jacksons!” the host yelled, the crowd screamed clapping their hands excitedly waiting for them to set foot onto the wooden stage. “Alright boys — remember this is not a tour — these people, including us, are only lookin’ for a good time” Jackie reminded as they held their instruments and mics.
As the boys finally stepped foot onto the stage the crowd cheered even louder. You stand in the middle of it all — paying attention to the whole group, especially Michael.
The first song they played was I Want You Back, making the whole crowd cheer and dance — begging for them to do an encore. Next up was Dancing Machine, which of course — means Michael was about to pull his infamous robot solo.
You stand with the crowd — dancing along, seeing Michael effortlessly move — with his natural talent and angelic voice, you subtly bit your bottom lip, cracking a wide grin, swaying your body and hips up and down feeling the music.
The way he’s so passionate at what he does, giving it his all — you were infatuated with him. Your eyes simply ignored everyone in the room but him.
After that last beat hit, with a brief silence from the crowd, everybody including you applauded. The boys bowed down,then stepped out off stage with an enthusiastic wave. Michael’s first instinct was to immediately run towards you, as you got close you embraced a hug.
“Michael that was incredible, everyone loves you” you said over to his shoulder, “trust me just you wait — the crowds gonna be loving you next” Michael looks at you with eyes full of light. You could see how absolutely worn out he looked, every part of his skin that was exposed, glistening with sweat, his chest was also heaving.
A pause seemed to linger between the two of you before a sudden burst of keys from the piano startled you both. You looked to see who was on stage and it seemed like the crowd was already moving on to a new song, the people continued to dance to the rhythm — acting like there’s no tomorrow.
“Well looks like it’s gonna be awhile for me to go on stage, let’s get out of here” you smiled, pulling Michael’s hand once again. You ran through the crowd and ended up finding a storage room in the far corner of the place — opening the door and heading inside.
You were absolutely giddy as you walked in, feeling the adrenaline in you — fixing up your hair and dress, Michael still had a pure smile on his face as he walked inside, immediately shutting the door. “Man it is hot in here” you point out, your exposed collarbone was shining with sweat.
“Michael I never seen the Jacksons perform this up close before, you were amazing” you hold both his hands, “you really think so? We didn’t see it as one of our tours so we sort of let loose with it — it’s not as perfect as it should’ve been” Michael tilted his head, with a shy smile.
“Are you kidding me? Michael — when I saw you at that stage, I could feel how passionate you were, the way you sing and dance, it was perfect to me at least” you complimented full heartedly. Michael looked down, the smile on his face grew wider and wider, he could feel his cheeks turning deep red, he was absolutely flustered by your showered compliments.
“You know I’m having a really good time here with you… I’m glad that we met” Michael looks at you, pulling your hold hands closer to his with a tighter grip. Your eyes gazed at his — appreciating how big and angel-like they were. “I feel the same way…” you replied.
The same pause from earlier lingered, the only difference was — nothing was interrupted this time. Staring at Michael’s eyes, you slowly looked lower to his lips, you felt the muffled music in the background expressing how you feel towards Michael. Genuine interest, curiosity, pure fiery love. (mound bayou proper black folks plays in the background)
You felt the music possessed you as you leaned in with your eyes shut — pressing your lips against his softly. The minute Michael felt your lips against his, he didn’t want to waste a second on it, his hand caressed your face — his other still holding onto your hand tightly.
Your one free hand cling onto Michael’s as it holds your face, you melt into his touch. The heated moment made Michael slam his back behind the door, your kiss became more passionate and deep, Michael’s hand slithered down to your waist, pulling you close to him — not ever letting go.
You slipped in your tongue, what was once a soft gentle kiss, soon turned into something hungry. Not long after Michael let his tongue dance with yours, the kiss became sloppier by the minute. “..is the door locked…?” You murmured into his lips, Michael used his one hand — fidgeting with the door knob and locking it “ It is now…” he replied.
Starting to move your lips, you began kissing Michael's jaw, letting it graze into his skin. You could taste the salty sweat all over his face, but you didn’t care. Going lower you gave small pecks on his neck, Michael looked up to the ceiling feeling astounded, he exhaled a sigh, his one hand cradling the back of your head encouraging.
You moved back to face him, giggling at his satisfied face “enjoying yourself?” you grin. Michael looks down to you, realizing how obvious his face of ecstasy was, he chuckles then shuts you up with another kiss.
The kiss felt resolutely warm and touching, you walked a couple steps backwards until you felt a table hit your rear end, naturally — you sat down with Michael carefully, had his hands on your hips to position you comfortably, without breaking the kiss.
Michael had his one hand holding your jaw, without any force or pressure on it — but instead gently guided you. You two finally parted — leaving a thin string of saliva across your lips, you both panted by the driven heat. “You’re a good kisser” you complimented, “really…?” You nodded your head with a hum.
Michael stared at you, observing your eyes — they were anticipating, waiting for what’s about to happen next. Then, an early conversation briefly flashed through Michael’s mind. “I finally went down on her” those words alone from Marlon, struck an idea. Michael paused for a minute, whether or not he should do it now, or even if he’s ready at all.
You noticed Michael’s expression looked like he’d zoned out, with the pause lingering longer than expected “…Michael?” You gently called out his name. It snapped him immediately — blinking a couple times before telling himself, fuck it “I wanna try something…”
After saying those words, you looked curious. Michael then all of the sudden sank quietly to his knees — his eyes staring at the end of your dress, your eyes quickly widened — already clicking what he wanted to try. “A-are you sure” you stuttered — grabbing his hand, he lifted his head catching your eyes “…yeah, is it okay with you…?” He asked.
You swallowed your breath, feeling a lot hotter than before “mhm…” you nod, Michael smiled — wasting no time lifting your dress up. “Wait! — Michael let me wash up first, I walked here” you smiled, stopping him again.
“Please… you’re beautiful, I just wanna taste you” Michael looked up at you, saying those words with such sincerity and need. Your lips parted looking at him with absolute awe, you then scooted a bit closer to the edge of the table — making it easier for him.
Michael continued lifting your dress, his hands dipped inside — feeling up your smooth legs, he then felt your panties, slowly pulling them down to your feet. After putting them next to you on the table — Michael buried his head under your dress, you were extremely nervous but also excited.
“So every woman — once you get down between her legs, got a button on it, towards the top” Marlon’s instructions ran through Michael’s mind as he moved, wanting to make this experience perfect for you. “And if you want to keep a woman, you find it —lick that” finding your clit, Michael stuck out his tongue — licking a strip “not too soft — not too hard either.”
As you felt Michael’s tongue, you let out a moan “oh… shit…” you lay down your upper body, till you felt your head resting on top of some folded piles of sack cloth. “Just like eating ice cream” Michael followed those words to the bone, once he heard your first moan — he kept going. Lapping his tongue onto your clit with a faster pace.
Your breaths became more hitched, feeling the astonishing pleasure Michael was giving you. Your one hand found itself clinging onto the shelf right beside, you felt your noises becoming louder and louder, matching the level as the crowd just right outside.
Meanwhile, Marlon had himself holding onto two glasses of drinks, walking around in search of Michael. “Michael! Man where are you” he yelled but was unfortunately drowned out by the crowd's noise.
He then reached the corner of the place, finding the storage door — thinking he should check inside. Holding onto both of the glasses by their handle with his one hand, to try and open the knob with the other, it was suspiciously locked.
Marlon’s brows furrowed confused. He reached over his ear, pressing it against the wooden door to see if he’ll hear anything. “…Michael—“ Other than hearing the heavy breathing from a woman’s, his eyes widened hearing Michael’s name being moaned out with such a pleasurable tone.
Marlon grinned, letting out a chuckle “Guess Michael found that button” he joked to himself, “Marlon, Tito’s calling you!” Randy walked up “hey Randy, check out our brother Michael” Marlon smirked as he walked away. Randy looked back to his older brother, confused on what he meant by that. He crept his ear to the door, carefully listening.
“Ah— Mike…” “..You taste so’good baby…” Michael whined. Randy was full on shocked hearing those words come out of his brother's mouth, following with your satisfied noises in response, he smiled widely — easily impressed then walking away but still had his eyes on the door.
Back to you, you felt incredibly overwhelmed — you felt your body becoming more and more heated by the second. Your legs instinctively started to close in, trapping Michael between your thighs, Michael’s big hands then wrapped its way to both your legs — parting them wide. From it being dangled onto his shoulders, to now hanging on the edge of the table spread out.
“…Michael — please, ah” you moaned out words not forming full sentences — just letting anything slip out of your lips. “Keep your legs open fer’me baby…” Michael murmured, his voice vibrating on your pussy with his hands gripping onto your thighs — stopping you from closing them.
“t’s too much Michael… I’m gonna — I’m so…” you blabbered. Hearing your trembled voice was a new accomplishment for Michael, it felt like his own personal audience — cheering him on his performance. He flicked his tongue over and over, that’s what really sets you off, your mouth gap open — having delayed sounds coming out of them.
“Almost there… almost” you yelled eyebrows scrunched, reaching to your orgasm, you occasionally buck your hips up — needing more. Michael buried his head even deeper, wanting you to scream out his name.
Then finally, as the crowd yelled — amazed by the performance, you hit your climax “Michael–!” you screamed his name, releasing your arousal onto his mouth. Your face was twisted, hair disheveled, cheeks flushed.
Michael lifted his head, your legs dropping down — dangling over on the floor. You collected your breath as Michael cleaned his lips. “…Did I do good..?” Michael asked nervously.
You lifted yourself with your elbows, then sat straight up. You dragged your fingers to Michael’s chin — your thumb circling on his bottom lip. “too good…” you smirked.
–
After fixing yourself up, you and Michael carefully exited the storage room, looking around. It looked like the performance was nearly ending. “C’mon this is your chance to perform” Michael said, dragging your hand across the place, managing to reach near the stage.
“You ready?” Michael checks up, You adjusted your dress one last time before nodding, Michael then signaled the host — telling him you were next.
As Michael joins back with his brothers in front of the crowd, you head over to the stage and immediately start vocalizing, followed by your foot stomping to the rhythm of the song Pale, Pale Moon.
The audience quickly caught by your immaculate voice, with the Jacksons cheering you on as well. Your loud vocals and soulful movements put Michael in a trance, completely captivated. With the crowd hyping you up, stomping their feet to the rhythm, and the piano playing along. It was all magical.
You were so possessed by your own performance, completely sank down to the floor crawling — having the crowd chanting ‘pale, pale moon.’ Standing back up you continued to jump, swooning the audience over once more.
“She looks worn out!” Marlon yelled to Michael over his ear. “She’s performing, why wouldn’t she be?” Michael pointed at you while looking at Marlon. “I meant before she went on stage,” Marlon added, putting on a knowing smirk.
Michael’s face shifted realizing what he meant, “quiet down will ya’” Michael firmly said. Marlon burst out laughing, slapping his hand on Michael’s back “was it because what i taught Randy earlier? Mikey I thought you were a first class gentleman” he joked. “I am, now shut it i’m trying to watch” Michael quickly responded.
After the performance is over, you rejoin with Michael embracing a tight hug, after that you continue dancing with him to the next toon, enjoying every single second for tonight.
–
Half an hour later, the party started to die down, with a few people saying their goodbyes, leaving the music into something more slow and relaxed — only left for people to keep drinking and doing slow dances.
“Hey Mikey, mind driving Randy back to our place — he’s tuckered out, me and the other boys are gonna stay for a little while, Keith offered us a drive home” Jackie pointed to their car with Randy fast asleep in the back.
“Yeah sure…” Michael replied, Jackie walking away — Michael turned his attention towards you “Wanna head home? I could drive you” Michael smiled.
“Oh you don’t have to do that, I walked here” you politely declined, “You seriously think I'm letting you walk all the way home late at night? don’t worry about it” Michael held your hand, caressing his thumb over your knuckles.
“…well, If you say so” you replied hesitantly. You and Michael hopped into the car, with Michael opening the door for you, then he took off his jacket — draping it over Randy who’s sleeping in the back.
“You’re awfully sweet you know that” you smiled watching Michael enter the car, “he’s my little brother, don’t want him to get sick in our vacation — especially on the first day” Michael shrugged, glancing at Randy.
You looked away for a brief moment then back at him “Speaking of which, how long are you planning on staying here..?” you tilt your head. “For about a week,” Michael replied, starting the car.
“Well I guess we should make the most out of it” you smirked. Michael turned his attention towards you before hitting the gas “yes we will, and after that I want your number — so i can keep calling you and one day visit back” Michael stared deeply into your eyes.
Your eyes glimmered, couldn’t resist leaning in for a long silent kiss “I would love that…” you whispered after parting away. Michael smiled as he looked into the dark distance, pressing the gas and happily driving away.

June 28th 1984
Two months ago today the grammy awards took place. It still felt like a dream to you, you were unable to fathom the fact that you actually got to attend such a prestige award show and be under the same roof as many of the people you idolised.
It was exactly two months since you saw him in person. Since you locked eyes with him from that balcony, since he delivered his speech and took off those glasses, revealing the eyes that still haunt you in your dreams. And since you bumped into him backstage where he took your phone number.
The same phone number you’ve been waiting for exactly eight weeks for him to call.
It was laughable really, i mean who were you kidding? This is Michael Jackson. He had thousands of females surrounding him and in his life, who were you a mere fan who he decided to flirt with during the grammys?
You’d be lying if you said the fact that he didn’t call you hadn’t stung. You thought you and him had hit it off well with the short five minute conversation you both had. You weren’t dumb, you had enough confidence to know you felt a spark, along with the small chemistry that started to form despite it being the first time you met him.
And the kiss he gave you on the side of your lips before he left? Boy had you been thinking about it in every waking moment you had.
You were currently on your bed in your small yet comfortable studio apartment in New York, notepad and pencil in hand as you sketch a new design. Another thing that you failed to forget about that night was Michael’s compliment.
“change that fun into something bigger, i promise you with talent like that i could be dressed in one of your pieces by the next Grammys.”
Michaels words stuck with you more than you’d like to admit. Sure you always got compliments on your work but it never felt as genuine as the way Michael had said it. It spoke life into you. Which is why the design you were currently sketching, was indeed a piece for Michael.
It’s not like he’d actually ever wear it, Michael only dressed himself up in the most luxurious brands and pieces from top tier tailors worth more than you’re entire existence and it’s not like you’d actually ever show it to him considering the fact that your flirtatious interaction was probably the first and last you’d ever have with him in your life.
or so you’d thought.
𓂃⋆.˚
As if mirroring your same emotions, You’ve also been living in Michael’s mind rent free. Humming and scribbling down lyrics onto his notepad in Westlake’s recording studio with his producer and friend in one—Quincy Jones. You’d think after creating an album that went platinum Michael would maybe take a few months maybe even a year off to himself so he could relax but no, Since a kid, for as long as he could remember and since he mentally gained consciousness hes been working.
Coming into the studio, Quincy pats Michael’s back sliding him a bottle of oj he bought him when he went for his coffee break as he lights his cigar plopping himself down on the other spinning chair beside Michael.
“How’s the lyrics goin mike?” He asks puffing on the brown cylinder.
Michael looks up from his notes grabbing the bottle of orange juice taking a sip of it before responding “Pretty good Q, i’m just letting it flow y’know? letting the creator do his magic.”
Quincy hums with a nod watching as his talented music partner scribbles down melodies “Mike as much as i love seeing ya thrive in ya creative process, don’t you think you deserve a break son? I mean since '82 you been writing and working back to back.”
Michael pauses his writing looking up meeting the eyes of his concerned producer and friend “I’m alright quince, i promise. Y’know how i am, if i ain’t writing or working i feel like im not myself.”
Quincy sighs exhaling the tobacco “I know Mike, but cmon just one day off hm? It won’t kill ya, how about you go see a pretty girl or sum? Oh speaking of, back in February after the Grammys i saw you talkin to a lil pretty young thang, who was that?”
Dropping his pen completely on his notepad, Michael clears his throat straightening “Oh uh, yeah it was just sum pretty fan or whatever” He says trying to play it cool despite feeling the electric jolt that shot into his chest at the mention of you.
Seeing the very obvious reaction from Michael Quincy lowers his cigar with a smirk and a look that says ‘ah huh!’
“Just a fan hm?” He says with a teasing condescending tone.
Michael groans seeing how his producer is trying to coax more out of him “Cmon quince, i mean it, she was just a pretty fan—well a beautiful fan actually”
“Beautiful huh? Well i can tell if she’s got you actin so flustered.” He replies chuckling loudly at how Michael swats his arm in embarrassment “Cmon Mike, take a day off and see her. Please tell me you got her number?”
Michael licks his lips sighing tipping his head back on the headrest of the spinning chair “Yeah i did…i just haven’t called her yet.”
“You ain’t called her? Mike you serious? why?” Quincy says out loud voicing out everything that the inner voice in Michael’s brain has been screaming at him for the past eight weeks.
“I know i just- i’ve been real busy quince that is the honest truth, and on top of that im…kinda nervous? I don’t know why maybe it’s because she’s my exact type.” He finishes off with a dreamy tone.
And it was true, you were his exact type. And ever since he laid eyes on you from where you were standing at the top of the balcony with the other fans, where he sat amongst his other famous peers, you’ve driven him crazy. He can’t stop thinking about you, replaying your flirtatious wave, replaying your backstage conversation, thinking about how beautiful you were up close, how smooth your mahogany skin looked and how well it looked against the red dress that you had designed yourself. As if his daytime reminiscence wasn’t bad enough, he started dreaming about you—not that he was complaining, in fact when he woke up he was angry at the interruption from his body.
But to actually unfold the note where you wrote your number that’s been sitting in his pocket for the past four months and to actually give you a call like he promised he’d do? Michael would confidently admit he was a chicken.
His switch of behaviour made even him laugh, he was acting all flirty and big shot with you but to actually dial your number and speak to you over the phone? It made his palms sweaty just thinking about it. And it wasn’t like he didn’t try to because boy he did. Any time he’d get all comfy in his bed after a long day at the studio and try to pick up the phone to call you, he was either interrupted on several occasions by Joseph requesting a meeting downstairs with his brothers, or his own nervousness making him chicken out.
He knew from your perspective it looked like a dick move, to be all flirty with you and create a small chemistry just to never give you the call you’ve been desperately waiting for.
“Busy and nervous my ass Michael. You put that pen and paper down and get the hell outta here, give that pretty girl a call. I’m serious, music can wait, you’re twenty five years old without a pretty babe on your arm.”
“Ouch quince—”
“It was meant to be offensive. Now go before i shove ya out myself.”
𓂃⋆.˚
Huffing softly with the vinyl record playing lady in my life in the background, you sit at your small kitchens stool treating yourself to a tub of your favourite ice cream after a long day of sketching both the piece for Michael along with potential future dresses.
You may or may not have started sewing a dress that your delusional brain pictured you could wear on a date with him.
You hum along to the song swinging your bare legs under your nightgown when the sound of your telephone on the coffee table startles you, your eyebrows raise in confusion looking at the time on the clock above you seeing its ten—almost eleven pm.
You place your spoon and ice cream down sliding off the stool to head to the still ringing phone “I’m coming, i’m coming” you speak aloud before picking up the receiver placing it on your ear with a monotone voice as you sit on the couch “Hello?”
“Hi pretty.”
Your heart jumps into your throat at the sound of the voice that comes from the other end. The voice that couldn’t be mistaken by anyone who wasn’t living under a rock. The voice that spoke to you when you collided into him at the grammys four months ago.
“Michael?” you reply in trepidation trying to see if it was really him who was calling.
“Yeah, hi it’s me.” You hear his voice reply almost with a matched nervousness in his tone.
“I thought you wouldn’t answer.” You hear him say shortly afterwards
“And i thought you were never gonna call.”
You respond back with a hint of sass that causes Michael to release a short breathy chuckle from the other end
“I know im so sorry— i never meant to take this long.”
“Yeah well, four months is pretty long Michael…i know you don’t owe me anything i’m just a fan but i was looking forward to hearing your voice again after you asked for my number.”
“I know pretty, and you’re not just some fan, i looked forward to hearing yours too, i’m sorry i made you wait so long.”
You bite down on your lip concealing your growing smile at the nickname—No you were supposed to be mad, get it together!
“It’s okay, i know your schedule must be insanely busy.” You say despite the voice in your head screaming that you’re giving in too easily—he made you wait for four months for goodness sake.
“Yeah i have been, but truth is i prolonged it because…i was kinda nervous….and shy.”
Your eyes widen slightly in surprise at the revelation, i mean you knew Michael was a shy guy, majority of the world did, but the guy who you saw at the grammys backstage was anything but shy with the way he was flirting with you—and the way he kissed you.
“Shy? But i thought—”
“I know, i was more confident seein you up close which is funny huh? I don’t know i guess i just realised how much I’m attracted to you that it made me nervous to actually call you, along with the fact that i was super busy.”
His words swarm your head like flies as you process them—Michael Jackson was attracted to you?
Realising you’ve been quiet for a minute you repeat his words “You’re attracted to me?”
You hear the smile in Michael’s words as he softly replies “Of course pretty, why do you think i use that nickname hm?”
“You probably use it on other girls and celebrities all the time.”
“Yeah well, this is the first time i actually mean it.”
And there it went. Straight out the window— any strength you had at standing your ground with him as a wide smile plasters your face.
“What do you…find attractive bout me?” You say propping your legs up on the couch and continuously twirling the phone cord like a teenage girl calling her crush.
He blows out a breath “Oh boy where do i start? Hm, for starters the first thing that caught my eye when i looked up at that balcony was how pretty your skin was.”
Your heart flutters in your chest at your skin being one of the things that Michael adored, you loved your melanin and took great pride in it so the fact that the pop star liked it aswell made your whole night.
“And…your smile. When we bumped into each other and the awkwardness finally dissipated, you flashed a less nervous smile and it took my breath away.”
“Gosh you’re such a smooth talker” You chuckle bashfully.
“No i’m just honest, there’s a difference angel.”
“Oh really?” You smile as the same playful banter you had backstage that day makes another appearance.
“Really. And another thing— wait….is that my song?”
Your eyes narrow in confusion before they enlarge as you realise you still had lady in my life playing in the background—shit. Well michael already knew you were his fan but a part of you for your own pride didn’t want him to think you were that obsessed to the point where you have him playing in your home.
“Uh…yeah” You reply slowly with a hint of awkwardness worried at his reaction. But the soft genuine laughter on the other end has your shoulders relaxing.
“Lady in my life huh? You like it pretty?” You could hear the cockiness in his tone.
You clutch the receiver to your ear more as you grin shaking your head “Maybe….”
“Maybe? Seems like you like it enough to play it in your home.”
“Well everyone plays your music in their home.”
“I don’t care about everyone i care about you.” There he goes again, making your insides feel like jelly with his words.
“Michael…stop speaking like that.”
“It’s true, i mean it pretty, i care about you. I ain’t been able to get you out of my mind since we met.”
Your breath hitches—which he hears, at his words and how matched his feelings sound.
“You been feelin the same way?”He asks after a beat.
“Yeah i have…i was really bummed when you didn’t call.”
You the hear soft sigh of guilt that escapes his lips before he speaks “I know angel i’m really sorry, i’m such an idiot i should’ve called you the minute i got home from the grammys.”
“It’s okay Michael, it was probably an extremely long day for you so i never expected you to call immediately. But after a week had passed i guess my hopes went down.”
“God angel i’m sorry, our interaction was on my mind every waking moment i hope you believe that.”
“I do”
“Good.” He replies with a tone of relief. “Now that that’s settled, when are you free? I wanna take you out.”
You almost choke on your spit at his words moving the phone away from your ear to take a deep breathe before clearing your throat and playing it cool “Oh uh..i’m free any day.”
“Yeah? How about tomorrow night?”
“Tomorrow night…? uh…..” You turn your head to look at the halfway done dress you were sewing still hooked to the machine—Thank you delusional brain.
“Yeah, yeah i can do tomorrow night.”
“You like Thai food?” He asks
“I love Thai food.”
Michael smiles widely from the other end of the line as he holds the phone closer to his ear. “Perfect. Tell me your address and i’ll pick you up at eight.”
“But i’m all the way here in new york, you’re in California that’s like a five hour fli—”
“I’ll be there.” He cuts you off immediately
His certainty squeezes your chest before you tell him your address as he scribbles it down on a random piece of paper on his nightstand “It’s a date. I’ll see you tomorrow pretty.”
You bite your cheek to tame the already big smile you have on your face “It’s a date.” You repeat “I’ll see you tomorrow michael.”
“Goodnight angel.”
“Goodnight.”
When he drops the phone you release the breath you didn’t know you were holding before getting up from your couch jumping up and down squealing.
“Oh my fucking gosh i’m going on a date with Michael— i’m going on a date with Michael Jackson.” The reality dawns on you before you start squealing and jumping again.
“HEY! knock it off!” The neighbour from below you shouts from outside.
“Sorry!!!” You yell back
Whoops….
𓂃⋆.˚
After arriving in New York around 9 hours ago, freshening himself up and getting into the smooth backseat leather of Bill’s Mercedes, Michael adjusts his leather jacket and the dress shirt underneath it before respraying his cologne. Bill looks at him through the rear view mirror before laughing “Look at you getting all dolled up” He teases as Michael lets out his own laugh playfully rolling his eyes at him.
“Oh stop it. I gotta make sure i look and smell good okay? Been a while since i went on a date.”
“I know son, trust me i was surprised when you told me about today’s plans at the airport. You look good kid, promise.”
“Thanks bill” Michael says giving him a pat on the shoulder before leaning back and sighing “You sure she can be trusted Michael? I mean she is a fan” Bill says slightly skeptical due to knowing how crazy Michael’s fans were.
“She’s not just a fan Bill it’s more than that, and she’s lovely from the interactions i’ve had with her.”
Bill nods knowing that despite the protectiveness he feels for Michael, he’s glad he’s finally going out instead of working.
“Plus after tonight, she won’t be just a fan anymore i wanna pursue her if this goes well.”
Shortly after, the car pulls up to a red brick apartment block with rusted stairs and gates with graffiti sprayed on them—this is no place for a pretty girl to be living in, Michael thought.
Getting out of the car he puts on his dark aviators leaning against the Mercedes, the sleeves of his leather jacket are rolled up and his lean figure is complimented by the dark bootcut jeans he’s wearing. His dark jheri curls are neatly styled to perfection with a few stray curls resting on his forehead the way he loves.
Right on time at exactly eight pm the sound of a door shutting makes Michael look up and he sees the woman who’s had him wrapped around her finger descending the metal stairs. The sight of you has his heart hammering in tachycardia—just when he thought you couldn’t get any more beautiful than you were at the grammys, you’ve proved him wrong.
The brown skin he couldn’t wait to kiss and feel was now complimented by the coral mid thigh dress that hugged your curvy figure. Your beautiful dark coils that was in a half up half down hairdo at the grammys, is now completely let loose in a blow out reaching your mid back—even Bill who was patiently waiting inside the car had his own eyes fixated on you.
When you finally reach the bottom and head towards him your heels clicking on the pavement with a timid smile hoping the dress you quickly finished sewing this morning looked good on you, he takes off his aviators as if repeating his actions from the grammys where he had first locked eyes with you.
“Hey” He manages to find his voice.
“Hi” Your glossed lips stretch into a smile meeting his big doe eyes with your own not failing to catch the way they’ve darkened slightly as they trail over you before flickering back to yours again.
“Hi pretty, you look…..pretty.” He huffs out your beauty making him out of breath as you both laugh at his use of words before he leans in to give you a hug and kiss on the cheek “C’mere.”
You lean into him as the scent of his musky masculine cologne fills your senses, the electric touch of his palms spread like a wildfire on you as he rests one hand on your mid back and the other on your waist giving you a tight hug with your chests flush together he leans down inhaling your own sweet perfume before you feel the softness of his lips on your cheek.
“I’m serious, you look stunning.” His kind but desire filled words come out as he leans back to look down at you still keeping you close with his hand resting on your cotton clad waist.
“Thank you, you clean up nicely yourself” You smirk slightly as you adjust his jacket collar making him match your smile. “How was your flight?”
“It was good, the five hours felt longer than usual though, i was so excited to see ya.”
His words make your heart squeeze impossibly more “Me too, i was so stressed about my hair and outfit—i had to finish sewing this as fast as i could.”
“You sewed this?”
“Uh huh, i told you i was a fashion designer remember?”
“Of course pretty i can never forget. This dress looks….just… wow on you.” He says his hand that’s on your waist coming up to rub and feel the skin of your arm swallowing hard before shaking his thoughts away and grabbing your hand.“Cmon, the venue is in thirty minutes.”
He uses his other hand to open the car door like a gentleman whilst his other hand ushers you inside shortly following you in afterwards.
“This is Bill my bodyguard.” Michael says introducing you to the friendly older man who greets you with a smile before giving Michael a knowing wink and starting the engine.
When the drive starts the two of you initially stay in silence not an awkward one but one that indicates two people who like each other and are trying to find the right words to come out.
“So—”
“How are—”
Both of you start at the same time making your shared laughter fill the backseat before Michael turns to look at you “You first angel.”
“I was just gonna ask how you’ve been since the grammys.”
He smiles softly at your question as he thinks “i’ve been great. Extremely busy y’know writing new music and stuff.”
Your eyes light up “Really? that’s amazing, are you working on a new album?”
“Hopefully yeah, i just like writing all my ideas down, i like letting God just guide me.”
You nod listening with full interest “I’ve always wondered how your creative process works, i mean your songs Michael they’re just, they’re one of a kind.”
His eyes soften at the compliment“Thank you pretty, i’ll invite you down to the studio one of these days, give you a proper insight. You can even be my muse if you want.”
“Sure i’d like that.” You say with a warm smile as he reaches out placing your hand in his.
“I’d like to see you design somethin one day.” His thumb strokes the back of your hand.
“Sure, maybe you show me how you do your music and i’ll show you how i design my clothes.”
“It’s a second date then.”
You laugh at his confidence.
“What? i’m serious. This won’t be the last time i see you pretty, ima make sure of it.”
His words make you turn your head to stare out the window hiding your cheesy grin at how flustered he’s making you.
“Like i said on the phone, you’re such a smooth talker.”
He laughs “It comes naturally with you.”
𓂃⋆.˚
When it’s time to step out of the tinted car which Bill has parked in a discreet area at the back of the restaurant away from any potential paparazzi and fans, he looks around making sure everywhere is clear before opening the door letting you and Michael out. Michael gets out first before extending his large palm which you hold onto as you get out fixing your dress catching the way his eyes watch the movement before he flickers them away.
“I’m sorry it looks weird, but this is how i have to enter restaurants and public spaces.”
You nod sympathetically understanding the circumstances Michael has to face in order to keep himself protected from cameras constantly flashing in his face and fans charging at him the minute they get a glimpse of him. Living a normal life was non existent to him.
“It’s okay Michael don’t apologise.” You respond leaning your cheek on his shoulder as your heart beats faster at the beautiful smile he gives you, he leans in to peck your forehead before leading you into the restaurant.
“Good evening Ma’am, Mr Jackson, your table for two is right this way.” The host says politely with a slight bow as he leads you and Michael through the most extravagant looking restaurant you’ve ever seen in your life.
Michael grins at the way your jaw drops “You like it?”
“Like it?—Michael it’s incredible in here.”
The soft sound of traditional Thai instrumental music flows through the air of the amber lit setting, the ceiling was high with carved wooden panels of lotus and a hanging chandeliers that were draped with vines and orchids. The unmistakable smell of Jasmine rice and lemongrass floated in the air making your stomach gurgle.
As the host continues to lead you both with your hand in Michael’s, you start to notice the lack of conversations, laughter and cutlery tapping against plate wear. The restaurant was completely empty, belonging to you and Michael only.
“Michael, why’s it so empty?” You ask as he leans his ear down to catch what you said.
“Oh i asked them to close for the evening.”
You blink
“You rented out the restaurant?”
“Mhm” He nods as if it’s the most casual thing as you have to remind yourself for the millionth time tonight you were on a date with Michael Jackson.
The host finally stops at a table that’s tucked just beside the large floor to ceiling windows that overlooks the famous beautiful city of New York, from here the statue of liberty looked almost touchable. The hand crafted wooden table was draped with a silk white table cloth, two gold candle holders holding burning wax in both, polished silverware on each side and a vase with a single rose in it.
When Michael pulls your chair out for you, you almost flinch back into reality that this was actually real— this was actually happening.
Sitting opposite you, he takes his own seat as the host gives you both a fancy velvet book like menu which you open with shaky hands.
“Order whatever you like angel.”
You hear Michael say as your eyes scan over the dishes. You decide to settle with your favourite—Pad Thai, whilst michael tells the waitress that comes to the table his own order along with yours.
When the waitress walks away he turns his face to yours reading your facial expression, his big doe eyes searching yours.
“Too much?”
It’s now that you realise you’re still speechless at the sight of the restaurant.
“N-no, no well- i’ll admit i’m not used to this at all.” You huff out a soft laugh as Michael gives you a gentle smile watching you still look around in amazement.
“I told you pretty, i really, really like you.”
You rest your chin on your palm trying to conceal your growing smile.
“Well you barely know me…”
“Exactly. Tell me about yourself, please.”
You pause to think before rambling on about your whole life, from being the middle child, how your love for fashion design began, your other hobbies, when and how you discovered his music and how you got a ticket to the grammys due to your uncle being one of the journalists there that night.
The whole time you spoke you can barely meet Michael’s eyes due to how intensely he’s looking at you and how intently he’s listening to everything you’re saying as if you’re the only thing that could possibly matter to him right now.
When you finish your life story you finally meet his eyes before shrinking into your seat seeing his soft smile.
“What?”
“What?” He repeats poking his tongue on his cheek trying not to smile.
“Why are you lookin at me like that?”
“Like what?” He smirks enjoying how shy you’re getting—for once in his life he wasn’t the shy one.
You playfully roll your eyes catching onto his tone “You’re so annoying.”
He laughs finally stopping the tease “Okay okay, i was just admiring your life story, it’s beautiful.”
“I’m sure it’s very boring compared to yours.”
“Not at all” Michael says staring off into the distance as if remembering things from his own childhood and upbringing. His thoughts are interrupted when the waitress finally arrives wheeling in the food that’s in steel cloches as she places it before you both lifting the lids up as steam follows revealing the delicious Thai dishes that makes both your mouths water.
“This looks incredible thank you.” You say politely.
“Do you drink wine love?” Michael asks and when you nod the waitress pulls out a fine bottle of red wine pouring it half way into your glasses.
After both of you politely thank her you raise your wine glass holding it up.
“Cheers to you finally calling me.”
Michaels eyes widen before he bursts out laughing.
“I deserved that. Cheers.”
He clinks his glass with yours before you both take a sip and savour the taste of the bitterly sweet wine that costed more than your whole rent.
Digging into the best Pad Thai you’ve ever had in your entire life, you and Michael continue to get to know each other, he tells you about his life, his siblings and the things he’s most proud of. You learn about all his different animals with excitement—letting Michael know you were obsessed with them yourself. He learns about your life goals and how much you love children and Michael could’ve sworn he was about to get down on one knee when he heard that.
You two had so much in common it almost scared you both—same interests, artists, films along with the genres of film, comics and rollercoasters. Michael was continuously making mental notes on places he planned to take you.
By the time the dinner was over you and him were happily tipsy, cheeks feeling warm, lingering shyness completely vanished, and laughter from your table being the only thing heard other than Thai intrusmental. Not too drunk but also not too sober, a perfect balance of euphoria
After seeing the massive bill that michael pays as if the amount was pocket change to him—along with giving the waiters and host massive tips, your arm is hooked around his as you head back to Bill’s waiting car.
When you get into the backseat you stay close to him, thigh against thigh enjoying his warmth as you rest your cheek on his shoulder—your arm still hooked through his.
He kisses your forehead looking down at you “You alright pretty?”
You sigh gently “Mhm, just stuffed.” You giggle as he smiles.
“I hope you had a nice time w’me tonight.”
“I did.” You say immediately before lifting your head up to meet his eyes that was already focused on you.
Michaels eyes slowly flicker down to your lips watching as you lick them, he raises his hand to cup your jaw with his thumb rubbing caresses along your chin
Before you can prevent the words from spilling you speak “I remember backstage at the grammys….before you left you—”
“Gave you a kiss?” He finishes.
You nod slowly.
“I think about it all the time” He whispers, his voice growing husky.
“You do?”
“Yeah, you smelt so good and your skin was so soft….i regretted not kissing you properly when i entered the limo.”
His words make your heart hammer in your chest as you watch his perfectly straight teeth fold his bottom lip between them, your eyes flicker down to the sight feeling the heat rush straight to your core.
“I wish you had.”
Is all you said before Michael’s lips came crashing down onto yours, you can’t help the soft moan that erupts from your throat which goes straight to Michael’s crotch as he moves the hand that was cupping your jaw to the side of your face.
You lean forward deepening the kiss accepting his tongue that was patiently asking for permission as you wrap yours around his cupping the side of his own face as the kiss grows hungrier.
Michaels other hand wanders down to your waist pulling you impossibly closer as you use your other hand to rest on his thigh feeling it tense from your touch as he releases a soft whimper into your mouth.
Using the arm that was on your waist to push you more forward he continues to explore your mouth with his tongue making you finally understand the rumour you’ve heard for years—Michael was indeed a great kisser.
Pulling his mouth away from yours to breathe he chuckles softly against your lips as you chase after his in desperation. He uses his thumb to swipe your now swollen lips as both of you catch your breath.
“That is the kiss i wish i had given you.”
Twenty minutes later after more kisses and caresses, that causes Bill to turn the radio up, Michael walks you up to your apartment, when you meet your door you turn to him giving him a hug wrapping your arms around his neck as he wraps his own around your waist leaning his face into your neck breathing in your soft skin.
“Thank you for tonight” You say into his shoulder as he pulls back still keeping his hands on your hips as he leans down giving you another tongue filled kiss that you smile into.
“If you keep kissing me like that Michael we’ll break the famous sex on the first date controversy.”
Michael laughs into your neck before pulling back.
“You’re right angel, i am a gentleman i promise.” He says before pecking your cheek.
“Goodnight pretty.”
“Goodnight Michael” You say before entering your key and stepping into your apartment.
𓂃⋆.˚
Six months later, you were chilling on your bed with Michael who was now your boyfriend, he had asked you to be his after several dates within the span of two months. His chin was on your shoulder as he watched you lightly drag your pencil lead across the cartridge paper in wonder at how you drew the silhouettes effortlessly along with the pieces to go on them.
“You’re so talented baby.” He kisses your shoulder.
“This is coming from the king of talent himself.” You chuckle.
“m’serious, baby you gotta take this fashion design more serious.”
You sigh softly with a shrug “Maybe, i mean it’ll be my dream to.”
“I’m gonna make it happen. I swear on it.”
You smile at his faith in you turning your head as you lean into his lips giving him a warm kiss which he reciprocates.
The door knocker slams indicating the pizzas finally here.
“I’ll go get it” You say shoving away Michael’s cash that he protests to pay with as you head to the door.
Whilst you’re gone, Michael places your sketchbook in his lap flipping through your designs with a prideful smile on his face.
“So beautiful” He whispers to himself seeing the sketch of the dress you wore to see him on your first date.
He flicks to the next page seeing a sketch which takes his breath away—a sketched male sillouhette adorned in a powerful suit jacket, midnight almost black if you focused carefully blue painted the sketched jacket with a lighter shade to match the vest that had lightly sketched embroidered floral patterns. A yellow gold pocket watch chain hanging from the third button of the vest—the same shade of the gold accents that spread like vines all over the jacket, pulling the entire design together. Michael knew if he saw this concept turn into reality, he would lose his mind over it.
His eyes continue to trail across the page as his eyes landed on your handwriting ‘For Michael Jackson’ at the right bottom corner of the page.
You come back in carrying the two pizza boxes heading back to the side of your studio apartment where your bed is when you almost drop the boxes seeing Michael staring at the sketch you drew for him—his design.
You wanted nothing more than for the ground of your home to open and swallow you.
“Baby…is this for me?” He asks looking up in shock.
You squeeze your eyes shut groaning in embarrassment as your boyfriend chuckles softly, standing up to take the boxes out of your hands placing them on the bed, he holds your hands in his sitting back down on the comforter and pulling you to sit down on his thigh.
“Yeah..it’s just a silly little sket—”
“Nonsense. Baby this is incredible, i love it.”
“Mike you’re just saying that—”
“No i’m not. i’m serious, this is everything to me.”
The honesty in his tone makes you curl into him kissing his cheek “Thank you baby. Honestly it’s just something i created when i was bored.”
“I’m wearing this.”
Your eyes widen “What!? Michael don’t be silly it’s not even finished.”
“Well finish it. I’m serious baby, remember what i said to you at the grammys? I said i’d wear your next piece and i meant it.”
You stare at him as if he’s crazy but you’ve never seen him look so determined and set on something.
The next grammys was now two months away, meaning you had more than enough time to add a few tweaks here and there make this piece even better than you have sketched before bringing it to life.
“Please.” He pleads making you melt
“Okay, okay fine.”
“You promise?” He says holding out his pinky making you giggle.
“I promise Michael. I’ll finish working on it for you.” You lock your pinky with his sealing the childlike promise as he leans in kissing both of them.
𓂃⋆.˚
And just like you had promised him—Grammys '85 red carpet with flashing white lightening from cameras in every direction blinds him behind his aviators, Michael wears the manifested suit jacket in all its picture perfect glory, the jackets gold accents and chain scream for attention along with the embroidered florals that were stitched with such precision it was hard not to admire, with dark tailored suit pants and loafers to match, the jacket clings to his lean upper body as if it was made for him, because it was and it was why his smile was so big knowing he’s wearing his baby’s piece—his girl’s piece.
“Michael this jacket looks spectacular on you, which designer is it?”
One of the journalists yells from behind the loud cameras holding up their reporter mic.
Michael catches the journalists question before proudly answering “My beautiful lady made this for me.”
Everyone around from the other stars who were close enough to hear, to the fans behind the gate and the other reporters, gush at his words speaking amongst themselves, and on cue, Michael extends his palm out from his left as you make your way to the carpet protectively escorted by his bodyguards, the flashing cameras that were once directed at Michael are now snapping towards you at your sudden appearance as you give a shy polite smile stunning everyone with your beauty, your mermaid cut dress that perfectly pushed up your cleavage and clung to your hips, was the same shade of blueish black and gold accents as Michael’s suit jacket, it was almost sinful the way it looked on your brown skin, your thick hair was in a high elegant updo pulling back your beautifully made up face.
The curve of your waist was possessively held by Michael’s arm as you both smile wide for the cameras looking every bit of the power couple you both were.
Your heart was racing behind your gorgeous smile—this was your first red carpet ever and it took Michael weeks of begging for you to be convinced.
Thousands of questions were being thrown at you both but it might aswell have been background noise for Michael because his eyes and focus were only trained on you the entire time. His lady, his everything, the fan who he saw on the balcony a year ago today who had captured his heart and mind before he could even fight it. Was now by his side for the world to see as he proudly wore your design, one of the best of many pieces the world had seen on him.
Feeling his longing gaze, you turn your head and focus away from the cameras to lock your eyes with his brown ones that were free from the aviators he took off ages ago, that are trained so intently in adoration for you.
And just like him, the flashes and the shouting faded into nothing and it was only the two of you.
‘i love you’ you mouth seeing his face soften as he leans forward meeting your glossed lips with his soft ones, flourishing the warmth that settled in your chest.
“I love you too pretty.”

June 28th 1984
Two months ago today the grammy awards took place. It still felt like a dream to you, you were unable to fathom the fact that you actually got to attend such a prestige award show and be under the same roof as many of the people you idolised.
It was exactly two months since you saw him in person. Since you locked eyes with him from that balcony, since he delivered his speech and took off those glasses, revealing the eyes that still haunt you in your dreams. And since you bumped into him backstage where he took your phone number.
The same phone number you’ve been waiting for exactly eight weeks for him to call.
It was laughable really, i mean who were you kidding? This is Michael Jackson. He had thousands of females surrounding him and in his life, who were you a mere fan who he decided to flirt with during the grammys?
You’d be lying if you said the fact that he didn’t call you hadn’t stung. You thought you and him had hit it off well with the short five minute conversation you both had. You weren’t dumb, you had enough confidence to know you felt a spark, along with the small chemistry that started to form despite it being the first time you met him.
And the kiss he gave you on the side of your lips before he left? Boy had you been thinking about it in every waking moment you had.
You were currently on your bed in your small yet comfortable studio apartment in New York, notepad and pencil in hand as you sketch a new design. Another thing that you failed to forget about that night was Michael’s compliment.
“change that fun into something bigger, i promise you with talent like that i could be dressed in one of your pieces by the next Grammys.”
Michaels words stuck with you more than you’d like to admit. Sure you always got compliments on your work but it never felt as genuine as the way Michael had said it. It spoke life into you. Which is why the design you were currently sketching, was indeed a piece for Michael.
It’s not like he’d actually ever wear it, Michael only dressed himself up in the most luxurious brands and pieces from top tier tailors worth more than you’re entire existence and it’s not like you’d actually ever show it to him considering the fact that your flirtatious interaction was probably the first and last you’d ever have with him in your life.
or so you’d thought.
𓂃⋆.˚
As if mirroring your same emotions, You’ve also been living in Michael’s mind rent free. Humming and scribbling down lyrics onto his notepad in Westlake’s recording studio with his producer and friend in one—Quincy Jones. You’d think after creating an album that went platinum Michael would maybe take a few months maybe even a year off to himself so he could relax but no, Since a kid, for as long as he could remember and since he mentally gained consciousness hes been working.
Coming into the studio, Quincy pats Michael’s back sliding him a bottle of oj he bought him when he went for his coffee break as he lights his cigar plopping himself down on the other spinning chair beside Michael.
“How’s the lyrics goin mike?” He asks puffing on the brown cylinder.
Michael looks up from his notes grabbing the bottle of orange juice taking a sip of it before responding “Pretty good Q, i’m just letting it flow y’know? letting the creator do his magic.”
Quincy hums with a nod watching as his talented music partner scribbles down melodies “Mike as much as i love seeing ya thrive in ya creative process, don’t you think you deserve a break son? I mean since '82 you been writing and working back to back.”
Michael pauses his writing looking up meeting the eyes of his concerned producer and friend “I’m alright quince, i promise. Y’know how i am, if i ain’t writing or working i feel like im not myself.”
Quincy sighs exhaling the tobacco “I know Mike, but cmon just one day off hm? It won’t kill ya, how about you go see a pretty girl or sum? Oh speaking of, back in February after the Grammys i saw you talkin to a lil pretty young thang, who was that?”
Dropping his pen completely on his notepad, Michael clears his throat straightening “Oh uh, yeah it was just sum pretty fan or whatever” He says trying to play it cool despite feeling the electric jolt that shot into his chest at the mention of you.
Seeing the very obvious reaction from Michael Quincy lowers his cigar with a smirk and a look that says ‘ah huh!’
“Just a fan hm?” He says with a teasing condescending tone.
Michael groans seeing how his producer is trying to coax more out of him “Cmon quince, i mean it, she was just a pretty fan—well a beautiful fan actually”
“Beautiful huh? Well i can tell if she’s got you actin so flustered.” He replies chuckling loudly at how Michael swats his arm in embarrassment “Cmon Mike, take a day off and see her. Please tell me you got her number?”
Michael licks his lips sighing tipping his head back on the headrest of the spinning chair “Yeah i did…i just haven’t called her yet.”
“You ain’t called her? Mike you serious? why?” Quincy says out loud voicing out everything that the inner voice in Michael’s brain has been screaming at him for the past eight weeks.
“I know i just- i’ve been real busy quince that is the honest truth, and on top of that im…kinda nervous? I don’t know why maybe it’s because she’s my exact type.” He finishes off with a dreamy tone.
And it was true, you were his exact type. And ever since he laid eyes on you from where you were standing at the top of the balcony with the other fans, where he sat amongst his other famous peers, you’ve driven him crazy. He can’t stop thinking about you, replaying your flirtatious wave, replaying your backstage conversation, thinking about how beautiful you were up close, how smooth your mahogany skin looked and how well it looked against the red dress that you had designed yourself. As if his daytime reminiscence wasn’t bad enough, he started dreaming about you—not that he was complaining, in fact when he woke up he was angry at the interruption from his body.
But to actually unfold the note where you wrote your number that’s been sitting in his pocket for the past four months and to actually give you a call like he promised he’d do? Michael would confidently admit he was a chicken.
His switch of behaviour made even him laugh, he was acting all flirty and big shot with you but to actually dial your number and speak to you over the phone? It made his palms sweaty just thinking about it. And it wasn’t like he didn’t try to because boy he did. Any time he’d get all comfy in his bed after a long day at the studio and try to pick up the phone to call you, he was either interrupted on several occasions by Joseph requesting a meeting downstairs with his brothers, or his own nervousness making him chicken out.
He knew from your perspective it looked like a dick move, to be all flirty with you and create a small chemistry just to never give you the call you’ve been desperately waiting for.
“Busy and nervous my ass Michael. You put that pen and paper down and get the hell outta here, give that pretty girl a call. I’m serious, music can wait, you’re twenty five years old without a pretty babe on your arm.”
“Ouch quince—”
“It was meant to be offensive. Now go before i shove ya out myself.”
𓂃⋆.˚
Huffing softly with the vinyl record playing lady in my life in the background, you sit at your small kitchens stool treating yourself to a tub of your favourite ice cream after a long day of sketching both the piece for Michael along with potential future dresses.
You may or may not have started sewing a dress that your delusional brain pictured you could wear on a date with him.
You hum along to the song swinging your bare legs under your nightgown when the sound of your telephone on the coffee table startles you, your eyebrows raise in confusion looking at the time on the clock above you seeing its ten—almost eleven pm.
You place your spoon and ice cream down sliding off the stool to head to the still ringing phone “I’m coming, i’m coming” you speak aloud before picking up the receiver placing it on your ear with a monotone voice as you sit on the couch “Hello?”
“Hi pretty.”
Your heart jumps into your throat at the sound of the voice that comes from the other end. The voice that couldn’t be mistaken by anyone who wasn’t living under a rock. The voice that spoke to you when you collided into him at the grammys four months ago.
“Michael?” you reply in trepidation trying to see if it was really him who was calling.
“Yeah, hi it’s me.” You hear his voice reply almost with a matched nervousness in his tone.
“I thought you wouldn’t answer.” You hear him say shortly afterwards
“And i thought you were never gonna call.”
You respond back with a hint of sass that causes Michael to release a short breathy chuckle from the other end
“I know im so sorry— i never meant to take this long.”
“Yeah well, four months is pretty long Michael…i know you don’t owe me anything i’m just a fan but i was looking forward to hearing your voice again after you asked for my number.”
“I know pretty, and you’re not just some fan, i looked forward to hearing yours too, i’m sorry i made you wait so long.”
You bite down on your lip concealing your growing smile at the nickname—No you were supposed to be mad, get it together!
“It’s okay, i know your schedule must be insanely busy.” You say despite the voice in your head screaming that you’re giving in too easily—he made you wait for four months for goodness sake.
“Yeah i have been, but truth is i prolonged it because…i was kinda nervous….and shy.”
Your eyes widen slightly in surprise at the revelation, i mean you knew Michael was a shy guy, majority of the world did, but the guy who you saw at the grammys backstage was anything but shy with the way he was flirting with you—and the way he kissed you.
“Shy? But i thought—”
“I know, i was more confident seein you up close which is funny huh? I don’t know i guess i just realised how much I’m attracted to you that it made me nervous to actually call you, along with the fact that i was super busy.”
His words swarm your head like flies as you process them—Michael Jackson was attracted to you?
Realising you’ve been quiet for a minute you repeat his words “You’re attracted to me?”
You hear the smile in Michael’s words as he softly replies “Of course pretty, why do you think i use that nickname hm?”
“You probably use it on other girls and celebrities all the time.”
“Yeah well, this is the first time i actually mean it.”
And there it went. Straight out the window— any strength you had at standing your ground with him as a wide smile plasters your face.
“What do you…find attractive bout me?” You say propping your legs up on the couch and continuously twirling the phone cord like a teenage girl calling her crush.
He blows out a breath “Oh boy where do i start? Hm, for starters the first thing that caught my eye when i looked up at that balcony was how pretty your skin was.”
Your heart flutters in your chest at your skin being one of the things that Michael adored, you loved your melanin and took great pride in it so the fact that the pop star liked it aswell made your whole night.
“And…your smile. When we bumped into each other and the awkwardness finally dissipated, you flashed a less nervous smile and it took my breath away.”
“Gosh you’re such a smooth talker” You chuckle bashfully.
“No i’m just honest, there’s a difference angel.”
“Oh really?” You smile as the same playful banter you had backstage that day makes another appearance.
“Really. And another thing— wait….is that my song?”
Your eyes narrow in confusion before they enlarge as you realise you still had lady in my life playing in the background—shit. Well michael already knew you were his fan but a part of you for your own pride didn’t want him to think you were that obsessed to the point where you have him playing in your home.
“Uh…yeah” You reply slowly with a hint of awkwardness worried at his reaction. But the soft genuine laughter on the other end has your shoulders relaxing.
“Lady in my life huh? You like it pretty?” You could hear the cockiness in his tone.
You clutch the receiver to your ear more as you grin shaking your head “Maybe….”
“Maybe? Seems like you like it enough to play it in your home.”
“Well everyone plays your music in their home.”
“I don’t care about everyone i care about you.” There he goes again, making your insides feel like jelly with his words.
“Michael…stop speaking like that.”
“It’s true, i mean it pretty, i care about you. I ain’t been able to get you out of my mind since we met.”
Your breath hitches—which he hears, at his words and how matched his feelings sound.
“You been feelin the same way?”He asks after a beat.
“Yeah i have…i was really bummed when you didn’t call.”
You the hear soft sigh of guilt that escapes his lips before he speaks “I know angel i’m really sorry, i’m such an idiot i should’ve called you the minute i got home from the grammys.”
“It’s okay Michael, it was probably an extremely long day for you so i never expected you to call immediately. But after a week had passed i guess my hopes went down.”
“God angel i’m sorry, our interaction was on my mind every waking moment i hope you believe that.”
“I do”
“Good.” He replies with a tone of relief. “Now that that’s settled, when are you free? I wanna take you out.”
You almost choke on your spit at his words moving the phone away from your ear to take a deep breathe before clearing your throat and playing it cool “Oh uh..i’m free any day.”
“Yeah? How about tomorrow night?”
“Tomorrow night…? uh…..” You turn your head to look at the halfway done dress you were sewing still hooked to the machine—Thank you delusional brain.
“Yeah, yeah i can do tomorrow night.”
“You like Thai food?” He asks
“I love Thai food.”
Michael smiles widely from the other end of the line as he holds the phone closer to his ear. “Perfect. Tell me your address and i’ll pick you up at eight.”
“But i’m all the way here in new york, you’re in California that’s like a five hour fli—”
“I’ll be there.” He cuts you off immediately
His certainty squeezes your chest before you tell him your address as he scribbles it down on a random piece of paper on his nightstand “It’s a date. I’ll see you tomorrow pretty.”
You bite your cheek to tame the already big smile you have on your face “It’s a date.” You repeat “I’ll see you tomorrow michael.”
“Goodnight angel.”
“Goodnight.”
When he drops the phone you release the breath you didn’t know you were holding before getting up from your couch jumping up and down squealing.
“Oh my fucking gosh i’m going on a date with Michael— i’m going on a date with Michael Jackson.” The reality dawns on you before you start squealing and jumping again.
“HEY! knock it off!” The neighbour from below you shouts from outside.
“Sorry!!!” You yell back
Whoops….
𓂃⋆.˚
After arriving in New York around 9 hours ago, freshening himself up and getting into the smooth backseat leather of Bill’s Mercedes, Michael adjusts his leather jacket and the dress shirt underneath it before respraying his cologne. Bill looks at him through the rear view mirror before laughing “Look at you getting all dolled up” He teases as Michael lets out his own laugh playfully rolling his eyes at him.
“Oh stop it. I gotta make sure i look and smell good okay? Been a while since i went on a date.”
“I know son, trust me i was surprised when you told me about today’s plans at the airport. You look good kid, promise.”
“Thanks bill” Michael says giving him a pat on the shoulder before leaning back and sighing “You sure she can be trusted Michael? I mean she is a fan” Bill says slightly skeptical due to knowing how crazy Michael’s fans were.
“She’s not just a fan Bill it’s more than that, and she’s lovely from the interactions i’ve had with her.”
Bill nods knowing that despite the protectiveness he feels for Michael, he’s glad he’s finally going out instead of working.
“Plus after tonight, she won’t be just a fan anymore i wanna pursue her if this goes well.”
Shortly after, the car pulls up to a red brick apartment block with rusted stairs and gates with graffiti sprayed on them—this is no place for a pretty girl to be living in, Michael thought.
Getting out of the car he puts on his dark aviators leaning against the Mercedes, the sleeves of his leather jacket are rolled up and his lean figure is complimented by the dark bootcut jeans he’s wearing. His dark jheri curls are neatly styled to perfection with a few stray curls resting on his forehead the way he loves.
Right on time at exactly eight pm the sound of a door shutting makes Michael look up and he sees the woman who’s had him wrapped around her finger descending the metal stairs. The sight of you has his heart hammering in tachycardia—just when he thought you couldn’t get any more beautiful than you were at the grammys, you’ve proved him wrong.
The brown skin he couldn’t wait to kiss and feel was now complimented by the coral mid thigh dress that hugged your curvy figure. Your beautiful dark coils that was in a half up half down hairdo at the grammys, is now completely let loose in a blow out reaching your mid back—even Bill who was patiently waiting inside the car had his own eyes fixated on you.
When you finally reach the bottom and head towards him your heels clicking on the pavement with a timid smile hoping the dress you quickly finished sewing this morning looked good on you, he takes off his aviators as if repeating his actions from the grammys where he had first locked eyes with you.
“Hey” He manages to find his voice.
“Hi” Your glossed lips stretch into a smile meeting his big doe eyes with your own not failing to catch the way they’ve darkened slightly as they trail over you before flickering back to yours again.
“Hi pretty, you look…..pretty.” He huffs out your beauty making him out of breath as you both laugh at his use of words before he leans in to give you a hug and kiss on the cheek “C’mere.”
You lean into him as the scent of his musky masculine cologne fills your senses, the electric touch of his palms spread like a wildfire on you as he rests one hand on your mid back and the other on your waist giving you a tight hug with your chests flush together he leans down inhaling your own sweet perfume before you feel the softness of his lips on your cheek.
“I’m serious, you look stunning.” His kind but desire filled words come out as he leans back to look down at you still keeping you close with his hand resting on your cotton clad waist.
“Thank you, you clean up nicely yourself” You smirk slightly as you adjust his jacket collar making him match your smile. “How was your flight?”
“It was good, the five hours felt longer than usual though, i was so excited to see ya.”
His words make your heart squeeze impossibly more “Me too, i was so stressed about my hair and outfit—i had to finish sewing this as fast as i could.”
“You sewed this?”
“Uh huh, i told you i was a fashion designer remember?”
“Of course pretty i can never forget. This dress looks….just… wow on you.” He says his hand that’s on your waist coming up to rub and feel the skin of your arm swallowing hard before shaking his thoughts away and grabbing your hand.“Cmon, the venue is in thirty minutes.”
He uses his other hand to open the car door like a gentleman whilst his other hand ushers you inside shortly following you in afterwards.
“This is Bill my bodyguard.” Michael says introducing you to the friendly older man who greets you with a smile before giving Michael a knowing wink and starting the engine.
When the drive starts the two of you initially stay in silence not an awkward one but one that indicates two people who like each other and are trying to find the right words to come out.
“So—”
“How are—”
Both of you start at the same time making your shared laughter fill the backseat before Michael turns to look at you “You first angel.”
“I was just gonna ask how you’ve been since the grammys.”
He smiles softly at your question as he thinks “i’ve been great. Extremely busy y’know writing new music and stuff.”
Your eyes light up “Really? that’s amazing, are you working on a new album?”
“Hopefully yeah, i just like writing all my ideas down, i like letting God just guide me.”
You nod listening with full interest “I’ve always wondered how your creative process works, i mean your songs Michael they’re just, they’re one of a kind.”
His eyes soften at the compliment“Thank you pretty, i’ll invite you down to the studio one of these days, give you a proper insight. You can even be my muse if you want.”
“Sure i’d like that.” You say with a warm smile as he reaches out placing your hand in his.
“I’d like to see you design somethin one day.” His thumb strokes the back of your hand.
“Sure, maybe you show me how you do your music and i’ll show you how i design my clothes.”
“It’s a second date then.”
You laugh at his confidence.
“What? i’m serious. This won’t be the last time i see you pretty, ima make sure of it.”
His words make you turn your head to stare out the window hiding your cheesy grin at how flustered he’s making you.
“Like i said on the phone, you’re such a smooth talker.”
He laughs “It comes naturally with you.”
𓂃⋆.˚
When it’s time to step out of the tinted car which Bill has parked in a discreet area at the back of the restaurant away from any potential paparazzi and fans, he looks around making sure everywhere is clear before opening the door letting you and Michael out. Michael gets out first before extending his large palm which you hold onto as you get out fixing your dress catching the way his eyes watch the movement before he flickers them away.
“I’m sorry it looks weird, but this is how i have to enter restaurants and public spaces.”
You nod sympathetically understanding the circumstances Michael has to face in order to keep himself protected from cameras constantly flashing in his face and fans charging at him the minute they get a glimpse of him. Living a normal life was non existent to him.
“It’s okay Michael don’t apologise.” You respond leaning your cheek on his shoulder as your heart beats faster at the beautiful smile he gives you, he leans in to peck your forehead before leading you into the restaurant.
“Good evening Ma’am, Mr Jackson, your table for two is right this way.” The host says politely with a slight bow as he leads you and Michael through the most extravagant looking restaurant you’ve ever seen in your life.
Michael grins at the way your jaw drops “You like it?”
“Like it?—Michael it’s incredible in here.”
The soft sound of traditional Thai instrumental music flows through the air of the amber lit setting, the ceiling was high with carved wooden panels of lotus and a hanging chandeliers that were draped with vines and orchids. The unmistakable smell of Jasmine rice and lemongrass floated in the air making your stomach gurgle.
As the host continues to lead you both with your hand in Michael’s, you start to notice the lack of conversations, laughter and cutlery tapping against plate wear. The restaurant was completely empty, belonging to you and Michael only.
“Michael, why’s it so empty?” You ask as he leans his ear down to catch what you said.
“Oh i asked them to close for the evening.”
You blink
“You rented out the restaurant?”
“Mhm” He nods as if it’s the most casual thing as you have to remind yourself for the millionth time tonight you were on a date with Michael Jackson.
The host finally stops at a table that’s tucked just beside the large floor to ceiling windows that overlooks the famous beautiful city of New York, from here the statue of liberty looked almost touchable. The hand crafted wooden table was draped with a silk white table cloth, two gold candle holders holding burning wax in both, polished silverware on each side and a vase with a single rose in it.
When Michael pulls your chair out for you, you almost flinch back into reality that this was actually real— this was actually happening.
Sitting opposite you, he takes his own seat as the host gives you both a fancy velvet book like menu which you open with shaky hands.
“Order whatever you like angel.”
You hear Michael say as your eyes scan over the dishes. You decide to settle with your favourite—Pad Thai, whilst michael tells the waitress that comes to the table his own order along with yours.
When the waitress walks away he turns his face to yours reading your facial expression, his big doe eyes searching yours.
“Too much?”
It’s now that you realise you’re still speechless at the sight of the restaurant.
“N-no, no well- i’ll admit i’m not used to this at all.” You huff out a soft laugh as Michael gives you a gentle smile watching you still look around in amazement.
“I told you pretty, i really, really like you.”
You rest your chin on your palm trying to conceal your growing smile.
“Well you barely know me…”
“Exactly. Tell me about yourself, please.”
You pause to think before rambling on about your whole life, from being the middle child, how your love for fashion design began, your other hobbies, when and how you discovered his music and how you got a ticket to the grammys due to your uncle being one of the journalists there that night.
The whole time you spoke you can barely meet Michael’s eyes due to how intensely he’s looking at you and how intently he’s listening to everything you’re saying as if you’re the only thing that could possibly matter to him right now.
When you finish your life story you finally meet his eyes before shrinking into your seat seeing his soft smile.
“What?”
“What?” He repeats poking his tongue on his cheek trying not to smile.
“Why are you lookin at me like that?”
“Like what?” He smirks enjoying how shy you’re getting—for once in his life he wasn’t the shy one.
You playfully roll your eyes catching onto his tone “You’re so annoying.”
He laughs finally stopping the tease “Okay okay, i was just admiring your life story, it’s beautiful.”
“I’m sure it’s very boring compared to yours.”
“Not at all” Michael says staring off into the distance as if remembering things from his own childhood and upbringing. His thoughts are interrupted when the waitress finally arrives wheeling in the food that’s in steel cloches as she places it before you both lifting the lids up as steam follows revealing the delicious Thai dishes that makes both your mouths water.
“This looks incredible thank you.” You say politely.
“Do you drink wine love?” Michael asks and when you nod the waitress pulls out a fine bottle of red wine pouring it half way into your glasses.
After both of you politely thank her you raise your wine glass holding it up.
“Cheers to you finally calling me.”
Michaels eyes widen before he bursts out laughing.
“I deserved that. Cheers.”
He clinks his glass with yours before you both take a sip and savour the taste of the bitterly sweet wine that costed more than your whole rent.
Digging into the best Pad Thai you’ve ever had in your entire life, you and Michael continue to get to know each other, he tells you about his life, his siblings and the things he’s most proud of. You learn about all his different animals with excitement—letting Michael know you were obsessed with them yourself. He learns about your life goals and how much you love children and Michael could’ve sworn he was about to get down on one knee when he heard that.
You two had so much in common it almost scared you both—same interests, artists, films along with the genres of film, comics and rollercoasters. Michael was continuously making mental notes on places he planned to take you.
By the time the dinner was over you and him were happily tipsy, cheeks feeling warm, lingering shyness completely vanished, and laughter from your table being the only thing heard other than Thai intrusmental. Not too drunk but also not too sober, a perfect balance of euphoria
After seeing the massive bill that michael pays as if the amount was pocket change to him—along with giving the waiters and host massive tips, your arm is hooked around his as you head back to Bill’s waiting car.
When you get into the backseat you stay close to him, thigh against thigh enjoying his warmth as you rest your cheek on his shoulder—your arm still hooked through his.
He kisses your forehead looking down at you “You alright pretty?”
You sigh gently “Mhm, just stuffed.” You giggle as he smiles.
“I hope you had a nice time w’me tonight.”
“I did.” You say immediately before lifting your head up to meet his eyes that was already focused on you.
Michaels eyes slowly flicker down to your lips watching as you lick them, he raises his hand to cup your jaw with his thumb rubbing caresses along your chin
Before you can prevent the words from spilling you speak “I remember backstage at the grammys….before you left you—”
“Gave you a kiss?” He finishes.
You nod slowly.
“I think about it all the time” He whispers, his voice growing husky.
“You do?”
“Yeah, you smelt so good and your skin was so soft….i regretted not kissing you properly when i entered the limo.”
His words make your heart hammer in your chest as you watch his perfectly straight teeth fold his bottom lip between them, your eyes flicker down to the sight feeling the heat rush straight to your core.
“I wish you had.”
Is all you said before Michael’s lips came crashing down onto yours, you can’t help the soft moan that erupts from your throat which goes straight to Michael’s crotch as he moves the hand that was cupping your jaw to the side of your face.
You lean forward deepening the kiss accepting his tongue that was patiently asking for permission as you wrap yours around his cupping the side of his own face as the kiss grows hungrier.
Michaels other hand wanders down to your waist pulling you impossibly closer as you use your other hand to rest on his thigh feeling it tense from your touch as he releases a soft whimper into your mouth.
Using the arm that was on your waist to push you more forward he continues to explore your mouth with his tongue making you finally understand the rumour you’ve heard for years—Michael was indeed a great kisser.
Pulling his mouth away from yours to breathe he chuckles softly against your lips as you chase after his in desperation. He uses his thumb to swipe your now swollen lips as both of you catch your breath.
“That is the kiss i wish i had given you.”
Twenty minutes later after more kisses and caresses, that causes Bill to turn the radio up, Michael walks you up to your apartment, when you meet your door you turn to him giving him a hug wrapping your arms around his neck as he wraps his own around your waist leaning his face into your neck breathing in your soft skin.
“Thank you for tonight” You say into his shoulder as he pulls back still keeping his hands on your hips as he leans down giving you another tongue filled kiss that you smile into.
“If you keep kissing me like that Michael we’ll break the famous sex on the first date controversy.”
Michael laughs into your neck before pulling back.
“You’re right angel, i am a gentleman i promise.” He says before pecking your cheek.
“Goodnight pretty.”
“Goodnight Michael” You say before entering your key and stepping into your apartment.
𓂃⋆.˚
Six months later, you were chilling on your bed with Michael who was now your boyfriend, he had asked you to be his after several dates within the span of two months. His chin was on your shoulder as he watched you lightly drag your pencil lead across the cartridge paper in wonder at how you drew the silhouettes effortlessly along with the pieces to go on them.
“You’re so talented baby.” He kisses your shoulder.
“This is coming from the king of talent himself.” You chuckle.
“m’serious, baby you gotta take this fashion design more serious.”
You sigh softly with a shrug “Maybe, i mean it’ll be my dream to.”
“I’m gonna make it happen. I swear on it.”
You smile at his faith in you turning your head as you lean into his lips giving him a warm kiss which he reciprocates.
The door knocker slams indicating the pizzas finally here.
“I’ll go get it” You say shoving away Michael’s cash that he protests to pay with as you head to the door.
Whilst you’re gone, Michael places your sketchbook in his lap flipping through your designs with a prideful smile on his face.
“So beautiful” He whispers to himself seeing the sketch of the dress you wore to see him on your first date.
He flicks to the next page seeing a sketch which takes his breath away—a sketched male sillouhette adorned in a powerful suit jacket, midnight almost black if you focused carefully blue painted the sketched jacket with a lighter shade to match the vest that had lightly sketched embroidered floral patterns. A yellow gold pocket watch chain hanging from the third button of the vest—the same shade of the gold accents that spread like vines all over the jacket, pulling the entire design together. Michael knew if he saw this concept turn into reality, he would lose his mind over it.
His eyes continue to trail across the page as his eyes landed on your handwriting ‘For Michael Jackson’ at the right bottom corner of the page.
You come back in carrying the two pizza boxes heading back to the side of your studio apartment where your bed is when you almost drop the boxes seeing Michael staring at the sketch you drew for him—his design.
You wanted nothing more than for the ground of your home to open and swallow you.
“Baby…is this for me?” He asks looking up in shock.
You squeeze your eyes shut groaning in embarrassment as your boyfriend chuckles softly, standing up to take the boxes out of your hands placing them on the bed, he holds your hands in his sitting back down on the comforter and pulling you to sit down on his thigh.
“Yeah..it’s just a silly little sket—”
“Nonsense. Baby this is incredible, i love it.”
“Mike you’re just saying that—”
“No i’m not. i’m serious, this is everything to me.”
The honesty in his tone makes you curl into him kissing his cheek “Thank you baby. Honestly it’s just something i created when i was bored.”
“I’m wearing this.”
Your eyes widen “What!? Michael don’t be silly it’s not even finished.”
“Well finish it. I’m serious baby, remember what i said to you at the grammys? I said i’d wear your next piece and i meant it.”
You stare at him as if he’s crazy but you’ve never seen him look so determined and set on something.
The next grammys was now two months away, meaning you had more than enough time to add a few tweaks here and there make this piece even better than you have sketched before bringing it to life.
“Please.” He pleads making you melt
“Okay, okay fine.”
“You promise?” He says holding out his pinky making you giggle.
“I promise Michael. I’ll finish working on it for you.” You lock your pinky with his sealing the childlike promise as he leans in kissing both of them.
𓂃⋆.˚
And just like you had promised him—Grammys '85 red carpet with flashing white lightening from cameras in every direction blinds him behind his aviators, Michael wears the manifested suit jacket in all its picture perfect glory, the jackets gold accents and chain scream for attention along with the embroidered florals that were stitched with such precision it was hard not to admire, with dark tailored suit pants and loafers to match, the jacket clings to his lean upper body as if it was made for him, because it was and it was why his smile was so big knowing he’s wearing his baby’s piece—his girl’s piece.
“Michael this jacket looks spectacular on you, which designer is it?”
One of the journalists yells from behind the loud cameras holding up their reporter mic.
Michael catches the journalists question before proudly answering “My beautiful lady made this for me.”
Everyone around from the other stars who were close enough to hear, to the fans behind the gate and the other reporters, gush at his words speaking amongst themselves, and on cue, Michael extends his palm out from his left as you make your way to the carpet protectively escorted by his bodyguards, the flashing cameras that were once directed at Michael are now snapping towards you at your sudden appearance as you give a shy polite smile stunning everyone with your beauty, your mermaid cut dress that perfectly pushed up your cleavage and clung to your hips, was the same shade of blueish black and gold accents as Michael’s suit jacket, it was almost sinful the way it looked on your brown skin, your thick hair was in a high elegant updo pulling back your beautifully made up face.
The curve of your waist was possessively held by Michael’s arm as you both smile wide for the cameras looking every bit of the power couple you both were.
Your heart was racing behind your gorgeous smile—this was your first red carpet ever and it took Michael weeks of begging for you to be convinced.
Thousands of questions were being thrown at you both but it might aswell have been background noise for Michael because his eyes and focus were only trained on you the entire time. His lady, his everything, the fan who he saw on the balcony a year ago today who had captured his heart and mind before he could even fight it. Was now by his side for the world to see as he proudly wore your design, one of the best of many pieces the world had seen on him.
Feeling his longing gaze, you turn your head and focus away from the cameras to lock your eyes with his brown ones that were free from the aviators he took off ages ago, that are trained so intently in adoration for you.
And just like him, the flashes and the shouting faded into nothing and it was only the two of you.
‘i love you’ you mouth seeing his face soften as he leans forward meeting your glossed lips with his soft ones, flourishing the warmth that settled in your chest.
“I love you too pretty.”

"M-Michael!" you yelled out, your voice fracturing into the heavy, heated air of your bedroom.
Hearing you scream his name was his absolute favorite sound, and it instantly made him work even harder, his hips driving into yours with a frantic, desperate rhythm because he knew that was exactly what would get you there. His large hand was tangled fiercely into your messy curls, while his other hand was gently but firmly wrapped around your neck, anchoring your body entirely to his. Sweat glistened over your beautiful brown skin, making you look like you’d been sun-kissed by God Himself as the explosive wave of pleasure finally crashed over you both.
heya first off, love your works Mikey is so cuteeee when you write him ahhh my angel face
Can I request off the wall michael x chubby reader?
Fluff, like him loving on reader and her curves tysm tysm
Love ya muahhhh
lit from within | michael jackson
- summary: reader decides to spoil off the wall!michael with a romantic night indoors, intending to make him forget all the noise outside
word count: 5.9k
warning: fluff all around, michael loves kissing, he actually just loves reader, he's this close to worshipping in fact he already does, poor writing btw, im serious, nothing happens, no plot, no tension, but also mentions of d*ana r*ss, sorry... And also SHORT as hell, rushed, im bad at kissing scenes, why is there so much of it here?? not sure
* no usage of y/n, michael refers to reader as 'baby' and 'sweetheart'
author's note: Hi hi hi, my love! Sorry for taking so long. Thank you so much for being patient, I really appreciate and love you for it. But I'd also like to say sorry if this doesn't go the way you want it too. Really, I am sorry!! You specifically asked for chubby!reader and I was unsure how to go about it, mostly because in my past writings, I don't think I've ever specified or did any descriptive writings on the reader's appearance for the sake of inclusivity, so this was a new thing for me. Reading it back, I don't think it translated very well, or at all even, but I do hope you enjoy this. Please, feel free to message to let me know on how I could do better, if needed! 💗
Also note, I'm genuinely serious. There's nothing here but fluff. And it starts off with potential but kind of blew up in my face, so do with that what you will. Also, there is no man on Earth that is capable of loving women the way Michael does. I'm being so for real, that man is obsessed. With women in general. He's so tea. Also, writing these fics give me a chance to slip in my faves from the past like old films. The Philadelphia Story is a really enjoyable film, guys. Loved the trio in it.
+++ not proofread, what else is new? the pacing is insanely rushed, and this is poorly written, but I'm hoping the fluff is enough to distract you...
+++ english isn't my first language! and i'm not a professional writer by any means! this will be apparent in my writings. hope you still like this regardless, please do...

Saturday nights mean movie nights with Michael.
Well, that's the newly made plan anyway. It's nearing the middle of the year now, and Michael and his brothers had finally taken a well deserved break from the Destiny tour, the management designing plans to continue again in a few months.
This break, however, is not being wasted by Michael at all. Almost every day, he enters the studio before the sun even rises, and only leaves hours after it has set. There's an air of intensity around him that couldn't be contained, or lessened. Not when he sets the pressure on himself, just as everyone else is. He's adamant to make this album great, and you've never been against that ambition and drive.
With that being said, the fact that you finally have him all to yourself tonight really pumps your excitement to another level.
