hi there! I saw that you are looking for non-smut recs so I thought this one might work! What about Michael, I am thinking bad or dangerous era, but choose whichever one you think fits best, being on tour and recently he has had a suspicion that something is going on with wife!reader like maybe she is not okay or she is too busy and when he comes back home he finds out that she has an injury like a dislocated shoulder or wrist inflammation and has to wear a cast which is why she seemed busy, didn’t always pick up the phone and overall seemed suspicious. He is mad she didn’t tell him anything and kept it a secret and super worried and it ends with fluff and comfort. I am sorry if this is too specific or confusing. Take care, lots of love 💕

just writing sum down, have you ever thought abt what michael would be like drunk in his younger days… well i do.
whiny..
"pregame?"
michael looked at you like you just spoke a whole different language, his doe eyes all wide and confused. meanwhile you're standing there with a whole bottle in your hand, waving it around like a flag.
"hell yeah! before we hit the studio, you gotta loosen up. you're twenty-one, mike. only gonna be that once, so that means..."
"i gotta drink?" he finished, voice all hesitant and soft.
you nodded, biting down on your lip. "exactly."
his hands motioned you over, and soon as you got close enough he snatched that bottle right up. then this man threw his whole head back and started chugging like his life depended on it. you didn't even get to warn him how bad that burns going down before he spit it right back out, coughing like he was dying.
"you sure this isn't hand sanitizer?!" he yelped, tears already forming in his eyes.
you couldn't help it…you burst out laughing. "don't chug it like a damn fool, fool." you rolled your eyes hard, as you took the bottle back, poured a shot glass, and slid it across to him. "try again, but slower this time."
couple minutes later and you were dealing with a whole crybaby.
"i don't wanna go..." he mumbled, looking up at you all pitiful.
you tilted your head at him. two little shots shouldn't have him this gone, but this was his first time and it showed. "come on! you're the one who said you wanted to celebrate at the studio!"
"no, i wanna stay here..." he sniffled, voice getting all soft. "celebrate with you. just you."
something about the way he said it made your face feel hot, the way he just whined for it to be only you two. but you can’t ruin sober michael’s original plans. you reached down, cupped his face in your hands, thumbs brushing his cheeks. "get up, jackson. you're gonna have fun, i promise."
he sighed all dramatically, finally standing up while you grabbed his arms to steady him.
"i don't wanna drink again..." he whined.
you laughed, shaking your head. "and i don't want you to. we're done with that. it was just for this occasion.” you winked, and he smiled.
“okay.. im ready.” he replied, as you two giggled out the door.
Old Habits (die never) ll

masterlist ll part one
It was late, the sun having dipped below the horizon a few hours ago and the hotel lounge was emptying as closing approached.
You were seated at the bar, admittedly sulking, about three and a quarter of a drink in.
You were conflicted and angry and so many emotions all at once, all because of a conversation you’d had with your boyfriend, Aaron, recently.
While he comforted you in the moment, he hadn’t been all too thrilled about your sudden leave from the show you’d been on last week.
Said it was unprofessional and wasn’t good for you. But you knew what he really meant: it wasn’t good for him. His perfectly crafted unruffled image that he clung so tightly to.
You could admit that being goaded by Michael to have an argument on live television wasn’t the best idea on your part. But in the moment you couldn’t help it. He knew just how to get under your skin and you felt utterly helpless.
It has been bleeding into other parts of your life and affecting your career. You avoided a few appearances and the ones you did do were lackluster at best. Lacking that aspiring Hollywood sweetheart image you were expected to uphold. It was completely exhausting to have to be what everyone was telling you to be.
You wanted it, you loved your career, you wanted to be liked. But you didn’t want it like that because it was inauthentic to you. It wasn’t you. And Aaron knew that. You weren’t sure why he was even trying to mold you into that but you had an inkling that it was because you were tied to his name.
That’s how this world worked. You were in a relationship, so everything you did would fall back on him and vice versa.
He’d chosen the next day after the show to express how he’d truly felt. It had been a long night for you, dealing with the disarray of being around Michael again and that almost kiss. You hadn’t even wanted to get up out of bed but that was never going to be an option.
“Hey, can we talk?” you were rolled over facing the window when you heard him.
You knew he’d been up far longer than you and that was confirmed when you turned around to see him fully dressed, hair styled and fresh faced. You were certain you looked like a wreck.
You turned to face him, sitting up a little but saying nothing. He stood at the edge of the bed hands fiddling with a cufflink.
He eyed you a moment before speaking, “Don’t do what you did last night again.” plain and to the point.
“I’m sorry, what exactly are you referring to?” he sighed before pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Arguing on TV where thousands of people can see you. I thought you would know better.” he wrinkled his nose at you, like you were a petulant child who didn’t know how to follow instructions. You fucking hated when he treated you like that. Practically scolding you like you were five.
But you honestly didn’t know what you could’ve said in your defense. You couldn’t deny it, because you were arguing. You’d let him get under your skin and bring that out of you.
“It wasn’t that bad. It was a mistake on my part, but—“ he cut you off with a question.
“It wasn’t that bad? How many people do you think were watching that show?” his eyes were sharp but not hostile. You knew he wasn’t happy though.
“I- I don’t know prob-“
“Yes of course you don’t know because you didn’t think about it. His presence on the show nearly tripled the viewer count.” his voice was full of condescension.
“I’m sorry. I really just wasn’t thinking about it.” You really just didn’t have the energy for this.
“Do you ever think about these things? I’m starting to think you don’t care at all. About your career. About anything.” your eyes snapped up to his. The hell?
“That’s so rich coming from you. And what the hell are you, my boyfriend or my manager?” you crossed your arms glaring at him and his audacity to imply you didn’t care about your career. When that was your main goal and passion.
“I’m starting to feel like I need to be both since you insist on acting the way you do.” his voice was infuriatingly calm, but dripping with arrogance. Like he just knew he was better than you.
“I made a fucking mistake, Aaron.”
“Was eye fucking another man on tv a part of that mistake?” your mouth snapped shut at that. Stupid of you to think it wasn’t noticeable the way you and Michael looked at each other. On the surface animosity, but if you looked closer you could see that burning desire you both shared. The way your eyes trailed to each other’s lips like a magnet.
“Of course you have nothing to say to that.” he sighed and pulled out his phone, disregarding you. Almost like he didn’t even care. He made a quick call before returning back to you.
“I don’t know what history you two have but you have a chance to fix this, so don’t screw it up.” then he turned and left.
You hadn’t a clue what he was talking about until your agent called to fill you in. There was a charity event happening in New York in a week's time. You’d go donate, shake hands and rub shoulders with other industry stars and be perfect, as you were expected.
Which was how you’d ended up at the hotel bar, a place you knew you probably shouldn’t have been seen. But you really couldn’t care less at the moment.
You were nearly about to just call it a night and head back to your room when you felt a tap on your shoulder.
You turned and were surprised when you saw a man who you recognized instantly as Bill Bray.
Michael’s head of security. And if he was here then that meant—
You noticed the folded slip of paper in his hand that he’d reached out to you and you shook your head instantly.
“No.” you’d said but he must’ve been on strict orders because he sat it down on the bar beside your drink anyway and made his leave.
You stared at the paper a long moment before, contemplating. Unfortunately curiosity was eating you alive so you reached for it.
PH01 someone will let you in.
An invitation. Not even a question. Like he just knew you would come if he asked. You tucked the slip of paper down into your glass, the amber liquid soaking into the ink and smudging it.
You gave it a few moments before you moved, just to say to yourself you hesitated at all. The truth however was a flashing sign in your head as you moved to stand making your way out of the lounge and to the elevator.
Distantly, you recognized the irony in the fact that your boyfriend was the one that made these accommodations for you. Go figure.
True to word, once you reached the top floor a man was there to guide you to the room. Once you stood in front of the ornate door you hesitated again. What exactly were you doing here and why did you come? Two questions you didn’t have a solid answer to.
Suddenly, before you even moved to knock, the door had opened revealing Michael dressed in lounge pants and a loose shirt. He looked relaxed, curls falling around his face. Not at all surprised by your presence.
He opened the door wider for you, ushering you in without a word before closing the door behind you.
He didn’t speak, just turned to a small cart near the door and began filling a glass with some clear liquid. He turned back to you holding the glass between you.
“I’m not thirsty.” he gave you a look.
“Bill said you were at the bar. You need water.” he wasn’t asking as he gripped your wrist and placed the glass in your hand which you took. He was always taking care of you, even now.
“You’re really something, using Bill to do your dirty work and lure me up here.” he smiled slightly at that.
“It didn’t take much since you came.” he pointed out smugly.
You took a sip of your water before speaking. “Michael what are you doing here?”
“Same as you probably. And I just wanted to see you. And maybe talk.”
“Talk?” you raised a brow. You didn’t believe that for one second.
“Yeah, were you expectin’ somethin’ else?” An open ended trap. Because if you thought this was about something else then why would you come?
“No.” you’d said it but it sounded more like a question. His lip quirked up at that but he didn’t call you on it further.
He sat down on the plush couch on one side of the suit and you took in the space. It was large and expansive, decorated in rich tones, and only slightly pretentious. The exact kind of place he would pick.
“Come sit.” he beckoned you over and you moved immediately, taking a seat rigidly on the opposite end of the couch.
“You know you can relax right? This isn’t anything you don’t want it to be.” he spoke frankly. You weren’t gonna say how you just didn’t trust yourself around him.
“I know you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately—“
“And how would you know that?” you cut him off, an incredulous look crossing your face.
“Because I know you.” a simple fact.
“You don’t know shit.” you scoffed.
“Don’t do that.” he clicked his tongue a moment before looking away from you. “Don’t pretend like I don’t know you.”
“You knew me past tense. But people change.” but some things stay the same.
“Not so much in two years. You can always talk to me.” he was nearly pleading with you now. For some type of connection.
You eye him warily, conflicted yourself. “Why are you doing this?”
“Because I miss you. I miss what we had. You’re the only person that really knows me. And I’m the only one who truly knows you. It’s as simple as that.” he confessed quietly.
It wasn’t that simple at all for you.
“Michael, I’ve moved on,” lie, “I have a boyfriend… and don’t you have someone too?” or at least that’s what he’d said. But the man on that show and the man in front of you were seemingly two different people. Now he was so vulnerable for you, nearly stripped bare when alone. It reminded you of old times.
“I lied. Of course there’s no one else, and can you honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you’re happy?” he’d inched closer on the couch, the knee you had propped up nearly brushing his thigh. You looked down and picked at the cushions.
“You can't, can you?”
“I can.” your eyes snapped up meeting his in challenge. He inched near you again eyes trained firmly on you.
“Then do it.”
His face was closer now than it’d been a moment ago. The eye contact alone was breaking down nearly every wall you’d built around yourself.
“I’m happy.” you said the words with no real conviction behind them.
“You’re looking at my lips baby, not my eyes.” he pointed out and you swallowed feeling like you were falling.
“I’m very happy.” you said it again bringing your gaze up somewhere past him, this time somehow even less convincing.
“I don’t believe you.”
“Well… that’s not my problem.”
“You have so much attitude for someone who’s practically crawling’ in my lap right now.”
You went still before noticing how he’d been slowly inching back from you and you’d been following, scooting closer and closer without even realizing. Like a deprived plant stretching for the sun, your leg practically over his.
Before you could fully back away he’d snaked an arm around your waist and pulled you into him completely, chest to chest with your legs folded over his.
“You know you don’t have to be anyone but yourself when you’re with me.” you nearly cracked in half at hearing those words, “So please, answer my question.”
“I can’t.” you brought your face closer silently begging for something you didn’t want to name aloud.
“I know you can’t. I just needed to hear you say it.” and he finally broke the tension by bringing his lips to yours.
It was slow and deep and passionate, all the things you’d been secretly craving and missing. He brought a hand to cup your cheek, like you were so precious and it nearly broke you.
You couldn’t even think about anything else but how much you missed him, and how much you wanted this. Certainly not how wrong this was.
He’d broken the kiss and the sound that escaped you wasn’t something you couldn’t have controlled if you tried; just pure need.
“M’ always gonna be yours, forever.” he said before he attached his lips to your neck, nipping and kissing at the skin while you held the back of his neck, eyes screwed shut.
Your words might’ve been one thing but you’re body language was telling a different story entirely as you held him close.
“Don’t leave marks.” he of course didn’t listen to you and started sucking harder, tongue lathing over the marks you could feel blooming already.
His actions had an idea forming in your head.
“Wait— stop.” you placed a hand on one of his shoulders for leverage as he detached himself from you.
“C’mere.” you led him to the bed, seating yourself on it and placing your back against the headboard. Michael moved to follow you on the bed but you shook your head.
“You sit there.” you pointed to the edge and with how big the bed was, there was a great distance between you two. “You’re gonna stay right there. And you’re not gonna touch me.” you met his eyes and saw a flicker understanding pass through them before his eyes trailed over your figure on the bed.
You started slow, trailing your hands up and over the buttons of your top slowly pulling them apart with precision. You didn’t look at Michael but you could feel his eyes on you and that was enough to have your nerves buzzing.
But you wanted to punish him for all he’d put you through this last week.
The room was so quiet, all that could be heard was the sound of yours and Michael’s breathing and the gentle sound of rain beginning to pelt against the tall windows overlooking the city.
Once you’d undone all the buttons you were with nothing but the black lace of your bra covering your top half. You started ghosting your hands over your stomach slowly the pads of your fingers warm against your skin. You tipped your head against the pillow a bit, mostly to forget the sight of Michael watching you but of course that wouldn’t work.
Him being there was only making the space between your thighs ache more. But you wouldn’t allow yourself to have it. Not yet anyway.
You kept the gentle motions going a little longer, working yourself up and avoiding certain areas before you reached behind you to unclasp your bra, the motion causing you to arch off the bed.
You noticed the small lurch at the edge of the bed frame, as if he’d repositioned himself and you met his eyes for the first time then.
He wasn’t looking at your body or the bra you’d just discarded, but he was looking at your face. Taking in all the details he missed in the time you were absent from his life with a reverent sort of worship.
He had one leg propped on the edge he’d planted himself on, the other foot planted on the ground bouncing slightly.
It wasn’t until your eyes left his that he let his trail down your body, eyes drinking in the bare skin of your breast and your nipples reacting to the room's temperature. The sight had him hardening in his pants almost instantly and he huffed out a breath.
You were beginning to get tired of teasing yourself and him, so you moved to pull your pants off your legs, your panties with them, before tossing everything to the side with your shirt and bra.
Your knees were pulled together, legs crossed at the ankles to block your sex from view for a little longer.
Michael was practically buzzing with anticipation. He wanted more than anything to reach out and touch you, to pull your knees apart and have you in whatever way he wanted, to make you cry out his name. But he couldn’t. He had to sit here and watch.
To you he looked practically ready to jump out of his own skin. And it made you smirk a little.
“You having fun?” his eyes narrowed at you slightly before answering.
“No.” his soft voice cracking slightly on the word.
You could feel that tingling pressure from between your legs and the tension building from you rubbing your thighs together so you parted your legs slowly revealing yourself.
You noticed Michael’s eyes widen slowly, lips parting, the deep intake of breath and simultaneous swallow. Like he couldn’t pick which would help him keep composure best.
“Jesus.” he breathed out as his eyes traced over you. You were so wet, your arousal pooling between your thighs creating a web of lubricant across your sex. “Y’ already this wet, just from me watching you?”
You could tell he intended it to come out smug and teasing but it sounded nearly wrecked when he said it.
You trailed your hands over your thighs, parting your legs more and pulling them to your sides, spreading further. “S’ all for you Mikey.”
You saw his chest rise and fall and how badly he wanted to touch you written all over his face. And teasing him was just turning you on more so you kept going.
You trailed your hands down one hand remaining on your breast to finally play with one of your nipples, the other sliding a finger between your thighs to play with your clit.
“Y’ like what you see?”
“Yeah,” he sounded gone and completely distracted while you rubbed yourself.
You’d just closed your eyes when he spoke again, “That’s it baby, good girl rub your clit f’a me.” and you nearly lurched from just hearing him.
“Don’t talk.” you said and squeezed your eyes shut, trying to regain that control you let slip.
“Nu uh, if you’re not lettin’ me touch you, you’re gonna cum t’a the sound of my voice.” you knew then that you were a goner but you kept going.
And despite what he’s just said he actually did keep quiet. Something you suspected wasn’t for your benefit.
And the longer on you went it became apparent that you weren’t gonna be able to get yourself there on your own. Not with him dangling in front of you.
“Michael—“ you could hear the frustration in your voice and so could he.
“Yes honey?” he sounded overly sweet and he knew what you needed but he as always wanted to give you a hard time about it.
So arrogant.
“You know what.”
“And you know I need t’a hear you say what you need from me.” his eyes bore into yours waiting patiently.
“Please Michael…I need you.”
“You gonna listen to me and do what I say?” he raised an eyebrow down at your figure and you nodded.
“I need to hear your voice.”
“Yes.”
He moved a bit closer to you on the bed but he didn’t cross any physical boundaries or touch you where you wanted, a fact you were conflicted about. You were the one who decided these rules and it had been viciously flipped around on you before you knew it. Things with Michael were always like that; you rarely having the control.
Or at least that’s how you felt, but to Michael, you’d always been the one controlling him. He was just so weak for you, he’d give you anything— down to his organs if you asked.
“Put one finger in.” you did as he said immediately and felt some relief, but knew that alone wouldn’t satisfy you for long.
“Y’feel good mama?”
“It’s not enough.” you whined out. Your fingers were so much smaller.
“I think you’re just greedy.”
“No m’not.” you’re answer was quick and his lip quirked up a bit— you just loved to argue with him.
“D’you remember that hotel in Paris four years ago? It was the day before your birthday.” your brows furrowed a little, wondering what random things he could be talking about at a time like this.
But then you thought about it. Of course you’d remembered that night. It wasn’t something easily forgotten.
“D’you remember how that felt? My face between your thighs for what felt like hours, tasting you, licking at your clit, and my fingers.” he spoke and you closed your eyes, remembering the moment and the feeling.
How he fervently licked and sucked at your clit and you imagined your finger was his pumping inside you— you were getting closer by the second.
He kept going, “I remember thinking, ‘I could eat this pussy all night. So sweet, tastes so good.’ . . . I wonder how you’d taste right now.”
“Add another finger, and take your thumb and rub your clit for me.” you didn’t have to be told twice as you started rubbing your neglected clit in tight circles, adding pressure.
Your legs fell apart and you moaned out pathetically at the increased stimulation, the coil tightening in your stomach.
“Thaaat’s it angel, feel good now?”
“Mmm hmm so good Mikey.” you hummed out entirely focused on the pleasure he was giving you.
Watching you spread open and blissed out in front of him had his cock leaking into his pants and fully erect, nearly to the point of pain. No amount of palming and readjusting was helping him alleviate his own pressure. And as much as he wanted to pull himself out and stoke his dick to the sight of you, this was about you.
“Y’ so perfect. My beautiful girl all spread out for me ‘nd makin’ a mess on my bed.”
“Shit— hmm Michael m’so close please.” you rubbed faster circles on your clit.
“I know baby, y’ almost there, just keep rubbing that pretty clit and curl your fingers. Can you do that for me?” you nodded and did as he said, curling your finger in a beckoning gesture, reaching for that spot inside you that he always managed to reach.
You were nearly there but something was stopping you. You don’t know if it was a physical barrier or a mental barrier but for some reason you just couldn’t get yourself there. Couldn’t reach that precipice you desperately craved.
“Michael I can’t—“ your voice was a whiny needy mess but the frustration was getting to you. You almost never had trouble making yourself cum so you didn’t know why now.
“What do you need mama?”
“Need you— your fingers, your mouth please.” you looked at him through your lashes with pleading eyes and he folded without hesitation.
He climbed closer to you on the bed, sitting on his knees, still fully clothed, and pulled your legs open over his thighs.
Your fingers were still lodged in your pussy so he pulled them out gently before bringing your hand to his lips, taking your fingers in and sucking, the taste of your arousal coating his tongue. You felt a hum against your hand as his eyes fluttered.
Once he was done he brought his hand to your mouth, “Open.” and you did, sucking on his fingers while holding eye contact.
You ran your tongue between his fingers and over the pads before sucking a bit harder, almost mimicking how you’d suck his dick if he’d let you.
“Dirty girl.”
After he’d gotten his fingers wet enough he brought them down between your legs and started rubbing his own circles on your clit.
“You like having my fingers on you?”
You didn’t respond and he slowed down changing the tempo to something unbearable. “Answer me please or I stop.”
“Yes Mike please!” he seemed happy with your answer and picked up the pace again, slipping a finger inside before adding the second one.
And immediately his fingers were much more satisfying, reaching the spots you’d been unable to reach as they moved in and out of you.
“Right there,” you gasped out. “Please don’t stop.”
“M’not stoppin’ until you cum sweetheart. Y’gonna cum all over my fingers and make a mess?”
“Yes Michael please—fuck!”
“Gettin so close, you can let go baby I got you, just come for me.”
You felt a sudden overwhelming feeling come over you when you finally came. Warmth spread over your lower half as the intense pressure finally let up and you came on Michael’s hand, drenching up to his wrist with your squirt.
“That’s it deep breaths, you did so good for me mama.” he whispered to you while rubbing your thighs as you tried to calm your heaving down. You don’t think you’ve ever experienced anything that overwhelming.
After you’d calmed down Michael brought you water and cleaned you up with a washcloth he’d retrieved from the bathroom. He’d offered you a bath but you didn’t feel like getting up, so he lied down next to you, pulling you into his chest in bed.
The quiet in the suite returned, loud with what you both weren’t saying.
You were an absolute mess who couldn’t even begin to navigate the start of the conversation you both needed to have.
The fact that you were in a very public relationship, what you wanted to do moving forward and whether or not he’d even changed enough to try again, if that’s what you wanted. All things swarming in your head.
“You don’t have to make any decisions now.” he spoke first as if he already knew the turmoil in your head. “Let’s just enjoy this and we can figure out the rest tomorrow.” he kissed your forehead.
You knew that to not address things wasn’t the best plan but in his arms at that moment, you decided to listen to him and lulled into sleep.
When you were fully knocked out Michael had just been about to fall asleep himself when he’d heard a faint buzzing sound.
He noticed your pants on the floor on his side of the bed and he picked them up, searching your pockets for what he assumed was your phone.
When he finally found it, he saw the many missed calls and messages left. All from your boyfriend.
Some begging. Some concerning.
Michael didn’t dwell on it too long just switched your phone off and placed it on the nightstand before wrapping his arms back around you pulling you closer before drifting off.

the sun was beating down hard on you two as you sat down on the steps of the porch. the only thing keeping you both sane was the popsicles melting in your hands, cherry red for him, grape purple for you.
"sing that part again..” michael said, scribbling in his notebook. his handwriting was getting messier the more excited he got. "hold it longer this time."
you hummed the melody he'd been working on all morning. it wasn't perfect, but he loves to hear your voice anyways.
"yeah, that's it right there." He wrote faster, nodding to himself. "you hear that? that’s what i been tryin' to get at."
"mm-hmm." obviously you didn’t get it, but you loved seeing how excited he was about it, to share something he loved with you. you pulled the grape popsicle from your mouth, your tongue catching a drip before it could fall.
michael looked up quickly, then looked away just as fast. he shifted a bit, suddenly real interested in his notebook. he cleared his throat and kept his eyes down, pen moving across the page even though he wasn't really writing anything meaningful any more.
you weren't doing anything weird..just eating a popsicle. you were his friend. he shouldn't be thinking like this. shouldn’t be noticing the way the popsicle stained your lips or how you hummed a little when the cold hit your tongue.
"you good?" you asked, tilting your head.
"yeah, yeah, I'm good." His voice came out higher than he meant it to. he coughed. "just…just tryna get this hook right."
you smiled a little, going back to your popsicle. cicadas buzzed somewhere in the distance. michael’s pen scratched against paper, but something was obviously wrong, you felt it in the air. "michael."
"hm?"
"yours is melting."
he blinked, looking down. his popsicle was dripping all over his hand, sticky and red, running down between his fingers and about to drip onto his jeans.
“oh..oh!" He held his hand away from the notebook quick, awkward, like he didn't know what to do with it. "can’t get this wet. i got all my notes in here."
he should just go wash it off. walk inside, run his hand under the faucet, come back out. but he was so close to finishing this part of the song. The melody was right there in his head, and if he stopped now…if he broke the flow, he'd lose it. he knew he would.
"you just gon' sit there like that?" you asked, watching him hold his hand up in the air.
"i mean..i don't wanna..." he trailed off, fidgeting. His other hand still gripped the pen, hovering over the page. "if I get up now, i’ma lose what I got."
you watched him for a moment. he looked ridiculous, honestly. sitting there with his hand, popsicle juice drying sticky in the heat, too stubborn to move. too caught up in his own head about his music.
"you real serious about this, huh?"
"this album gotta be perfect..” he said, and you could hear it in his voice…that intensity he got when he was too deep in. "i can’t mess around. every detail gotta be right."
the heat pressed down on both of you. your popsicle was melting too, and you licked at it slow. michael’s eyes flicked to you again, then away. his jaw tightened. he wasn’t too sneaky about his glances, you noticed every time.
you looked at his hand. at the red streaks running down his fingers. at the way he was trying so hard to stay in his zone that he was willing to just... sit there.
"i could help…" you said quietly.
michael’s eyes snapped to yours. "huh?"
"with your hand." You gestured at it with your popsicle. "i could... you know. help you clean it."
he stared at you. "how you gon'—" then he stopped. he thought of something silly.
“what are you possibly gonna do, lick it off?”
he laughed, you didn’t. that’s when he really froze up.
"i mean, if you don't wanna get up..." you shrugged, trying to sound casual even though your heart was racing. "im just sayin'. im right here."
"that’s—" he laughed, nervous, "that’s wild. you can't just—“
"can’t just what?"
his tongue darted out to wet his lips. "that’s... I mean, we..." he was fumbling, and you could see the confusion play out on his face. the way he was looking at you, like he wanted to say yes but didn't know if he should.
"it’s just popsicle," you said softly, even though you both knew it wasn't just anything. "ain’t gotta be weird." but it was already weird. the moment you'd suggested it.
"i don't know if..." michael swallowed hard. his hand was still up in the air, trembling just a little. "you sure?"
were you sure? no. not really. this was reckless.. the kind of thing you'd think about later and wonder what possessed you. but sitting here in the heat, watching him struggle, watching the way his eyes kept drifting to your mouth.,.you wanted to. God, you wanted to.
"yeah," you whispered. "im sure."
slowly. giving him time to pull away if he wanted to. but he didn't. he just watched you, his breath coming quicker, his eyes locked on yours.
you reached out and took his wrist. his skin was warm under your fingers, his pulse racing. you could feel how tense he was, how nervous. How much he wanted this even though he probably shouldn't.
"just..." His voice cracked. "just helping out..right? it’s what friends do..” he said softly, trying to act as if this was causal.
you didn't answer. instead, you brought his hand closer, until his fingers were right in front of your face. the cherry red was sticky and sweet smelling, almost sickening in this heat, but you could care less. it mixed with the salt of his skin and the faint scent of his cologne.
your tongue touched his index finger first.
michael made a sound, a very small sound.
you moved slowly, your tongue tracing the line of melted popsicle from his knuckle down to his fingertip. the taste was sweet and tart, cherry mixing with the salt of his sweat. you felt the way his hand trembled in your grip, hearing the way his breathing had gone all shallow and uneven.
you were about to wrap your lips around his middle finger and sucked, but heard the sound of his notebook hit the porch floor with a clatter.
"oh my God," he breathed, and you couldn't tell if it was a prayer or a curse.
your eyes flicked up to meet his.
he was staring at you like he'd never seen you before.
you pulled back slowly, releasing his hand. your lips felt swollen. his fingers were clean now, glistening slightly in the sunlight.
"sorry," you said quickly, suddenly aware of what you'd just done. "im sorry, I shouldn't have—“
but you couldn't finish because you were both just staring at each other now. obviously feeling different about one another.
michael’s chest was rising and falling like he'd just run a mile. his hand was still resting against your lip, like he'd forgotten how to move it. his lips were parted, and you could see him trying to form words, trying to make sense of what just happened.
then he laughed.
it came out nervous and surprised and a little bit breathless."what was that?"
you laughed too, covering your face with both hands. your popsicle was completely melted now, dripping onto the porch, forgotten. "i panicked!"
"you panicked?" he was grinning now, that shy smile that made his eyes squint. "by lickin' my fingers?"
“i don't know!" you peeked at him through your fingers. "it made sense at the time! you said you didn't wanna get up, and I just.. wasn't thinkin’…I—“
"nah, you was definitely thinkin' somethin'." his voice was teasing now.
"shut up." you shoved his shoulder lightly, and he laughed again, the cicadas continued to buzz, as you two kept laughing at each other.

Too damn late..
synopsis: you audition for a background part in michael new music video ‘the way you make me feel’, things didn’t go as planned and you actually end up getting the main role. having michael calling u in at a ridiculous time to “rehearse.”
a/n: this is what I’ve been working on, and it’s absolutely took me out🫣
bad!m jackson x black!fem reader, TAGS: no real warning, just a fluff. this might be a series, slow burn?.✦ ݁˖ 1.52k
At least forty dancers crowded the space in the studio, you being one of them. The stretching against the mirror, running through eight counts like their life depends on it, adjusting leg warmers and headbands. You sat on the floor in the back corner, messing with your own fingers and trying to ignore the knot of anxiety in your stomach.
The Way You Make Me Feel. In Michael Jackson’s new video, every dancer in Los Angeles had shown up for this.
Thank God for your amazing agent who put you into this.
“Alright everyone! Let’s get started!” The choreographer, Vincent Paterson, clapped his hands. The room went silent almost immediately. “We’re looking for energy, attitude, and chemistry. Michael wants this video to feel playful and sexy. Show us what you got!”
Your heart wanted to shoot out your chest, but you forced yourself to focus as Vincent demonstrated the moves. Sharp hips, a strut with attitude, playful shoulder rolls, a bunch of spins with a hint of sass. It was very flirty. But that was the choreo for the main girl, something you weren’t really aiming for.
They started to divide everyone into groups of five. You were in the third group.
In the beginning you were just acting and laughing with the girls, doing the job as the background role. Until it was the time to be single out and audition for the main girl part.
You tried to do everything Vincent choreographed, by the sharp turns, sassy little eye rolls, and hips swaying as if they had no care in the world.
When it ended, a few of the other dancers gave you respectful nods. Then your head turned towards Vincent, whose face remained neutral.
“Thank you, next…” You moved back to the side, grabbing your water bottle, then you glanced.. why haven’t you realized that observation window before?
It was a little tinted, so you couldn’t really see, but assuming it was Michael was watching.
Two hours later, Vincent called out fifteen names. You were the seventh.
“Congratulations.” He said with a tired smile. “You’ve been selected for the video. We’ll send details about the shoot schedule through your agents. Rehearsal starts next week.”
The room roared with celebration once Vincent left the room, you exhaled a breath you didn’t even know you were holding, accepting a few hugs from a few other dancers that made it.
What you didn’t know, what you couldn’t possibly have known, was that in another room Michael had pointed at the window at you for Vincent.
And quietly he said, “Her, I want her as the main girl..”
Vincent smiled, and then just nodded as he wrote it down. “I think she really embodied what you’re looking for..”
Michael had smiled, a smile that crinkled the corner of his eyes. “Yeah..” he’d murmured “she does.”
. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.
The phone resting right on your night stand started to ring at 2:07 am.
You woke up rubbing your eyes as your hand found its way on the night stand, picking up the phone from its stand.
“Hello?” Your voice cracked a little, still tryna wake up.
There was a pause at first but then: “Hi, um…It’s Michael.”
You blinked at the ceiling, wondering if you were dreaming, “Michael?”
“Michael Jackson..” it was silent for a bit, until you heard his throat clear up. “From.. the audition today. Well. Yesterday, technically.”
You sat up, suddenly awake. “Oh. Oh! Hi? Is everything okay?”
“Yeah.. yeah! Everything fine.” He sounded almost nervous, his voice soft and slightly higher than you expected. “I just.. I was thinking about the choreography. For the video. And I wanted to go over your part one more time. Make sure we’re on the same page..”
You look at your alarm clock. 2:10 am.
“Right now?”
“If that’s okay? I know it’s late—“
‘Real late.’ Is all you thought, you almost dozed off in the middle of this call.
“but.. I’m at the studio and I just— I really want to get this right. You were great today, by the way. Really great. I just want to y’know, tune some things up.”
You rubbed your face trying to process. This was insane. Unprofessional. You should say no.
“Which studio?”
He gave you the address, the same one from the audition. “Take your time. No rush. Well, I’m just sayin.. whenever you get here is fine.”
“I’ll be there in thirty.”
He smiled on the phone, and placed it down, you heard the click. You stared at the phone for a good ten seconds.
Then you looked at the mirror that was across from your bed, looking at your head full of curling rods and groaned loudly.
You showed up at 2:38 am in sweatpants and a hoodie, and every single curling rod still in your hair, covered by a silk scarf you’d tied lazily. No makeup.
The studio door was unlocked. Inside the space was dimly lit, only half of the lights on. Music played softly from the boombox, one song you noticed was ‘What’s going on’ by Marvin Gaye.
It really set the mood a bit.
Michael stood in the center of the room wearing black pants and a red button down shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows. When he turned and saw you his eyes widened slightly.
“You came,” he said and sounded almost surprised.
“You called..” you replied, a little bratty than you intended. You were tired and confused and very aware of the curling rods poking out from under your scarf. “At two in the morning…”
“I know.. I’m sorry—“ a small laugh escaped from his mouth, not out of mockery, but enjoying this situation. “I just want to make sure we got the right chemistry..”
You raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms “Mr Jackson—“
“Michael. Please.”
“Michael..” You tried again. “With all due respect, this is pretty unprofessional. Calling dancers at two am for an unprepared rehearsal? We have a schedule for a reason..”
He at least had the decency to look a little guilty, ducking his head slightly. Looking like a sad little puppy being scolded. “You're right. You're absolutely right. I'm sorry." But he was still smiling a little, his gaze looking at your scarf covered head. "I just... I really wanted to see you run through that section again. You did something different than everyone else and I want to make sure we capture that."
You sighed, dropping your bag by the wall. "Fine. Let me stretch for a minute."
"Of course. Take your time."
As you bent into a stretch, you caught him watching you in the mirror. Not in a creepy way..more like he was fascinated. When you straightened and reached up to adjust your scarf, one of the curling rods poked out. His smile widened.
"What?" you asked, defensive.
"Nothing." He bit his lip, clearly trying not to laugh. "You just... you came straight from bed."
"You called me at two in the morning. What did you expect? Full hair and makeup?"
"No, no. It's—" He shook his head, that soft smile still playing on his lips. "It's cute. That's all."
You felt your stomach get little butterflies, almost wanted to smack yourself.. who gets flustered over that? "Let's just do this so I can go back to sleep."
He moved to the boom box and switched the tape. The opening bars of "The Way You Make Me Feel" started to start. "From the top of the second verse. Your entrance."
You took your position, forcing yourself into professional mode despite the absurdity of the situation.
And Michael watched, not following right behind you like he was supposed to do. Just watching. When you finished, slightly breathless, he was still staring.
"That was perfect..” he said softly.
"So... we're good? I can go?"
"Could you—" He hesitated. "Could you run it one more time? Just to make sure?"
You stared at him. He stared back, and in the dim studio lighting, you saw it clearly..he wasn't thinking about choreography at all. He just wanted you here.
As much as that was flattering it was absolutely frustrating as well.
"Michael," you said carefully. "Why did you really call me here?"
He opened his mouth. Closed it. Looked away, shoving his hands in his pockets. "The choreography—"
"Is fine. You said it yourself. It's perfect."
He met your eyes again. "I don't know..” he admitted quietly. "I just... I wanted to see you again. I didn't know how else to..." He trailed off, looking vulnerable..
You should've been angry. You should've grabbed your bag and left. Instead, you found yourself smiling despite everything…the late hour, the curling rods, the complete unprofessionalism of it all.
"Next time," you said, "maybe just ask me to see you like a normal person?"
His face lit up. "Next time?"
"During normal hours..” you emphasized. "I need my sleep, Michael Jackson."
"Deal." He was grinning now, boyish and bright. "Can you still run it one more time, though? Since you're here?"
You laughed…you couldn't help it. "One more time. Then I'm going home."
"One more time..” he agreed.

you felt a hand settle on your waist, your back pressing against the wooden wall as Michael continued to pepper your face with kisses. some landed in places that made you squirm and laugh, the feeling more ticklish than anything.
“michael… I we’re right by the door. somebody could walk into the house anytime..” you whispered, glancing toward the glass sliding door. outside, his brothers were busy playing basketball while his sisters laughed and splashed around in the pool.
he only leaned in closer, placing another kiss against your neck.
“so?” he mumbled. you pulled back just enough to look at him. “so?”
“we’re a couple…” he said, grinning against your skin. “m’so supposed to kiss you, ain’t I?”
“what has gotten into you today?” you asked, trying to hide your smile. he just laughed, but what he wanted to say was that you looked beautiful.
the swimsuit hugged every curve of your body perfectly, and he’d spent half the afternoon trying not to stare. every time you walked past him, your hips swaying without even thinking about it, he’d find himself losing his train of thought. he loved how soft you were, how your figure filled out every outfit you wore, and he couldn’t help but want a piece of it..
his hand gave your hip a gentle squeeze, fingers sinking into the softness there. you immediately laughed.
“stop!” you whispered. “that tickles.”
“cant help it..” he giggled, sounding like a little schoolboy.
“you’re being very bold today.” you spit out as you wrapped your arms around his neck, falling right into his embrace.
“i just love my girl so much..” he whispered, giving your forehead a nice kiss.

notes. just sum slight for da moment
You smooth your palms down on your hips wiping the sweat away, nerves jittery. Two years in this business and you still get nervous doing these things.
The exposure never got easier and recently, you’d gotten invited to do a popular talk show special known for its surprise guest pairs. Not even the guests knew who they would be paired with, which was the main cause of your nerves. But you already signed up and were being heavily goaded by your agent so there was no turning back now.
You knew your boyfriend, Aaron, would be in the crowd tonight which helped make you feel less nervous, though not entirely. If anything, doing things around him made you feel like a heavy lens was placed over you. The thing was, technically Aaron’s acting career was bigger than yours— having started in the business way earlier than you and built up a reputation.
That was how you met— on the set of a blockbuster that he was the star of, while you were a background character contributing roughly ten percent to the plot. A role you got very mild recognition for.
He had curated his image, the picture of a perfect Hollywood star, not a single flaw to be found and while he cared for you, you knew how much he also cared about that image. And the press had already begun sinking their teeth in when you first went public, looking for any crack in that composure you both held to so tightly. And you didn’t want to mess that up.
You just had to go out there and handle yourself well, no matter who came out behind you.
Easy enough.
You knew your cue was coming soon so you stepped up to the walk and prepared to face the cameras and bright lights. You smiled, the whole thing becoming second nature quickly, and kept your stride as confident as possible as you moved to shake the hand held for you by the host, before moving to your seat.
“And here she is now our lovely guest!” Cliff, the slightly older man, gestured to you. You’d met him at industry events previously— he was kind, so you at least had the familiarity advantage.
“Happy to be here Cliff.” your voice was even, carrying the air of professionalism and warmth.
“First and foremost, congratulations on your new film success. Y’know my kids and I saw it about three times.” Cliff leaned in from his desk seat, speaking into the microphone, bleeding the charisma necessary for this kind of gig.
“Oh thank you very much. How’re the kids and how’s Anne?” you asked, crossing a leg over the other. His wife Anne was the sweetest woman, always baking you goods when you saw her.
“Oh you know, nagging as always.” Cliff joked pausing for comedic effect when that got a chuckle out the crowd.
“Honey I promise I’m joking, it’s how I make a living.” he cleared his throat before continuing, “Now of course me and the fans wanna know about your new movie you have coming up.” he redirected the conversation smoothly.
“Yes, I'm very excited to announce the film, I think it is really special and going to surprise a lot of people.” you shot a smile out to the camera.
“Yes and I know you'll be working it with your co-star boyfriend Aaron Taylor, who is in the wings tonight.” the audience in the background immediately applaud at the mention of your costar boyfriend and you bite back a smile.
“Yes he is,” you blow a small kiss to the crowd and they erupt in louder cheers. ”Working with him on this has been lovely, I'm so grateful to be working with someone I love dearly and who is so talented.” you spoke, sincerity bleeding into your words.
The small talk about you continued for a few more minutes before Cliff moved on to the next part. “Okay now time for the moment we have been waiting for, our surprise guest.” You tried to calm your nerves, inconspicuously bouncing the leg you’d crossed out of view of the camera. You hoped you didn’t look as nervous as you felt.
“Without further ado, let's bring him out now. Ladies and gentlemen, the king of pop, rock, and soul, Michael Jackson!” you immediately froze your back going straight as the cheers rang louder in your ears than you'd heard all night. Maybe on any night this show has been on air.
Out of the corner of your eye you saw him come from behind the curtain.
Beautiful as always except now, he looked different. Gone was the young man with the short Jerry curl and sweet smile you’d once loved.
Walking towards you was what you’d done your best trying to avoid, dressed in a red blazer with a black button up underneath and long curls neatly styled. An air of natural confidence around him, an untouchable aura.
He smiled wide to the crowd, waving shyly as he made his way to his seat. Right beside yours. And curse whoever placed the seats so damn close, your knees almost brushing together.
You tried your hardest not to look at him out of the corner of your eye, but he didn’t get the memo as you felt his eyes flick towards you.
Ignore.
Just your luck that your very famous rockstar ex would be the one you get paired with for this. Who you haven’t seen in a long two years after he decided he couldn’t make space in his life for you. Countless missed calls, messages, and anniversaries falling on deaf ears. Ignored like a late to due list. The memory of the time you spent alone waiting for him to give you any attention as he promised, taking second place to another late night in the studio, or whatever he had going on.
You two had somehow managed to keep your relationship out of the public eye, more for your sake, by some miracle leaving your split as seamless as can be on the surface.
He was just too much of workaholic to make your relationship work, so you ended it. It wasn’t an overly messy affair, but it wasn’t entirely clean either. Only because you’d periodically find yourselves back in each other's presence again, meeting up for a warm body when you had no one else.
Whenever your schedules allowed you’d meet up, any city your paths happen to cross for a night of passion before one of you would leave before the other woke up, and before the sun kissed the curtains.
No note, no call, nothing. An unspoken rule.
That last time he’d been the one to leave. And it left you more hurt than you’d care to remember.
But when you finally did have someone to go home to, you quickly ended that arrangement, a fact Michael hadn’t been too happy about. But he didn’t try to fight you on it. How could he when he had and had been spotted very publicly with other women draped over him.
You wouldn’t let yourself go back and it had been years since you had fallen back into that familiarity.
You hadn’t even seen him recently and now he was here— sitting a foot away.
“Thanks for coming tonight Michael.” Cliff smiled and offered his hand.
“Yes of course, I wouldn't have missed it.” he drawled in that soft cadence, his smile as charming as ever.
“Missed many other things though.” you heard yourself say under your breath before you could stop it, just loud enough for Michael to hear. You knew he heard by the way his face fell a little bit. You shouldn’t have done that, but you couldn’t deny the satisfaction it gave you.
You avoided eye contact and swallowed a little, wringing your fingers on your lap as Cliff continued, his next question directed at you, “Well did I surprise you?” he looked so pleased and you’d be sure to chew him out over this later.
“Well it is definitely a surprise.” you spoke through a tight smile, trying and failing to keep the sarcasm from your voice. Which apparently was funny if Michael thought it was appropriate to chuckle on your side. This was going to be a long night.
“You know I had my team pick this match up for tonight's show because I heard from many sources that you are quite fond of Michael Jackson.” you felt a pitt form in your stomach but instead of showing if you raised an eyebrow, an incredulous smile forming on your face.
“Well of course I admire him for his contributions to the music industry and his philanthropy,” you paused a moment choosing your next words carefully, “but beyond that I wouldn’t quite say fond.” you gave a small shrug capping off the bullshit that just came out of your mouth.
“Oh but you were a big fan if I remember right. You had been spotted at every concert location from all over the world.” Cliff smiled as he aired out your business. That had been ages ago, from a time when you two were still together and madly in love. You would have followed him anywhere at the time.
“Well I-” you began to attempt to salvage the situation.
“She really gave the fan girls a run for their money huh.” Michael’s voice chimed in softly beside you, his comment causing you to actually look at him for the first time tonight.
If looks could kill yours would surely have him wounded. His eyes were already on you when you turned, his lip caught between his teeth, and smile fighting through. You remember how his smile always made your knees weak in the past, causing butterflies to form in your stomach.
Now? It only serves to irritate you further.
You heard the audience laughing at his comment but didn't care as you fixed him with your glare. He could see how he was beginning to get under your skin, that vein popping out of your hairline in that cute way when you got angry, that self satisfied smile tugging at the corner of his lip.
“Maybe she did but we also happen to know that you Michael, are a big fan of movies. Photos of you in disguises leaving theatres around the world. And guess who all those movies feature, from minor to major roles?” you turned your attention finding Michael looking sheepish now as photos of him in bad disguises pulled up onto the screen ahead.
Some of them you remember, because you’d been together, but a few are more recent from instances you had no idea about.
“Guess he has great taste.” you jump onto the opportunity immediately, the crowd breaking out into laughs behind your words. No way you were walking out of this the only one embarrassed.
The show continued on each question only raising tensions higher and higher.
“So Michael, what did you think of the movies you saw? Did you think they were real quality films?” Cliff questioned. Michael seemed to think for a moment and you could tell that what he was about to say was gonna piss you off just by the look on his face.
“Well of course they weren’t Academy Award- winning films, but they were very cute.” he flashed his dazzling smile to the audience, like he was sharing some kind of secret, and you were boiling. He could stick an Academy Award up his ass for all you cared.
You were ready to just get up and walk away at that point but you knew your agent and manager would have your head, so things continued. Cliff points in your direction, “Now I know you're taken but for the sake of my job, play along.” he joked lightly.
“Now starting with Michael, is there any special lady in your life?” what a bad joke.
“I doubt he has time for a special lady, what with all the time he spends in the studio.” you scoffed out. You couldn’t even make an attempt to keep the bitterness out of your voice.
“Well actually, yes I am married to my music and my fans who I love dearly, but I assure you, I make time for my lady.” you looked over at him then. So he has time to make for some other woman but couldn’t make time for you.
Unbelievable.
But you didn’t care. Not one bit.
“What about you, no trouble in paradise?” Cliff turns the attention back to you and you immediately shake your head.
“Nope, none. We never really fight.” a lie but that didn’t matter. You weren’t going to air your business out for everyone to know and judge. Especially not with Michael sitting there, smug as ever.
You heard a soft scoff to your right, “Find that hard to believe, all couples have problems.” he lulled his head in your direction, your faces practically inches apart thanks to the proximity of the chairs.
“Not when both parties are willing to make time for each other and put in effort.” you fired back almost immediately, putting emphasis on the word effort.
“No amount of effort can save a boring relationship.” you knew then that while he was talking about your relationship with your boyfriend, you were talking about your relationship with Michael. Because that had been everything but boring.
“Well I guess you wouldn’t know much about saving relationships.” your eyes burned into each other, plenty of unspoken meanings hidden in between your words. Everyone had long gone silent, the tension in the air so thick and heady, mixing with the smell of his cologne and clouding your senses.
You noticed immediately when his eyes flicked down to your lips and you hoped to god the cameras didn’t catch how you’d returned the gesture, eyes tracing over the planes of his face.
This had to end now. Before you did something you would regret.
And thankfully, you were out of time.
“Well… it would appear that we are coming up on the end, this has been a fantastic episode with these two stars. Stay tuned for our next pairing.” and as soon as the cameras cut you were up out of your seat, heels clicking quickly, escaping to your temporary dressing room.
But of course Michael was hot on your heels, not even caring if anyone noticed. You’d just opened the door when he gently shoved you in following behind you. You made a small sound of protest as the door clicked shut.
He didn’t speak for a moment as you both sized each other up, the silence getting to be unbearable. But since he was here, you were absolutely going to give him a piece of your mind.
“You knew about this didn’t you?” you turned on him pointing a finger at his chest. You’d put together early on that he didn’t look nearly as surprised as you did.
“No, I-“ you cut him off.
“That shady ass shit you said, I didn’t appreciate it.” your tone was firm dripping with irritation while glaring at him.
“And what about what you said?” he furrowed his brown looking conflicted before he started pressing closer to you and you took a step back, reestablishing distance. You had to stand your ground.
He studied you for a moment before speaking, “You're still mad at me. About before.” he stated simply, not even a question, like he just knew it to be true.
“No, I’m not because I don’t care anymore.” you said the words easily but your eyes held the truth in the way they flicked away from his. You couldn’t even look at him as you told that lie not even you would believe.
“Y’know what I think.” he pulled closer to you and you took another step back. And it was so hard. Harder to pull away with him this close, with the smell of him near you. You always loved his perfumes and colognes.
“Not really.”
But he continued on anyway, “I think you care a lot about what I think.” your back hit the edge of the vanity on the opposite wall and you couldn’t back up anymore. Giving him the opportunity to get even closer, chest pressing lightly against yours and fingers snaking over your hip. You bit back a shudder as his hands ghosted over you.
“I don’t.”
“You’re lying. You can’t even look me in the eye.” and he knew it because he could read you like a book he’d written himself.
And you were so weak with the way you leaned into his touch, just slightly but of course he noticed.
“There she is, my pretty baby.” he hummed bringing his large, warm palm to the small of your back, he was practically all over you now.
“I’m not yours anymore.” but the way you leaned into his body said otherwise. But it was just the familiarity of him, something you’d instinctively fall back on.
“I missed you.” he leaned down, the words a whisper in your ear, holding a quality that was reserved only for you and the quiet of his studio.
“Michael—“ your heart was beating out of your chest, you were sure he could feel it against his own, quick as a hummingbird's wings. You loathed the fact that he could do this to you. That to this day you thought you’d moved on but with a few words and soft touches he could prove to you otherwise.
“I miss having you, in my arms, my life, my bed,” you tilted your head down, temple resting against his chest. But he wouldn’t let you retreat and instead brought his fingers under your chin, tilting your head up to his.
The amount of longing and passion and lust you saw in his eyes scared you. Only because in his eyes you saw your own, reflecting the same emotions back. And it was so sick but you wanted to go back. You wanted those moments again. And you never allowed yourself to miss him in this way, but he’d barreled through all that in the way only he could.
You were stunned, speechless.
And like two opposite poles of a magnet you came together, your hands fisted in his shirt and his in yours, breaths mingling together. You could almost taste him on your lips, less than a centimeter apart, you were nearly shivering with anticipation.
You distantly heard the footsteps outside the door first and then came the clank of the handle jostling. You immediately shoved Michael away from you as the door swung open, your boyfriend stepping through and into the space.
Michael had stepped to the opposite wall from you closest to the door as your boyfriend moved in your direction.
You tried to collect yourself as best you could and calm your ragged breathing but you knew your panic caused you to look like a dear in headlights.
“Honey, are you alright? I saw you run off stage.” Aaron approached your side holding your hands in his while you nodded.
“Y- yep I’m good.” he nodded and pulled you into a tight hug and over his shoulder you made eye contact with Michael.
His expression was completely unreadable, all the emotion from earlier wiped clean from his face. He didn’t stay, and quietly fixed his blazer as he stepped out of the room and into the dark backstage area. Gone just like that.
“What did he want?” your boyfriend asked as he pulled back to look at you.
“Nothing, he just wanted to say goodbye.”

.ᐟ.ᐟ tags: mentions of cheating, a lil suggestive, toxic ahh
a/n: mmm… I’ll might do a part 2.
“jackie…” his name left your lips like a sigh.
he peppered your neck with kisses, leaving marks everywhere. his hands gripped the sides of your thighs, loving how plush they felt every time you sat down.
where you were sitting right now wasn’t exactly normal, though. you were perched right on top of the washing machine.
definitely not romantic. honestly, it almost turned you off. but with jackie whispering sweet nothings into your ear, you couldn’t bring yourself to care as much as you should’ve.
“shh, gal…” he whispered, guiding your hands toward your mouth. “you must want everybody to hear?”
you didn’t. but the way jackie kept trailing kisses lower, getting closer to your lower belly, almost made it seem like he wanted people to hear you.
“jackie!” a girl’s voice came from outside the laundry room door.
he immediately pulled back and covered your mouth.
you didn’t recognize that voice. it definitely wasn’t one of his sisters, and it sure as hell wasn’t his mom. so who the fu—
“you ready to go out yet? your brothers said you were in here!” she called. jackie glanced toward you before pressing a kiss to your forehead.
“just a friend, don’t worry, baby…” the lies spilled from his mouth so easily. he must think you boo boo the fool.
“coming,” jackie answered as he stepped away from you. “don’t come out… you aren’t presentable.” he winked, pointing toward your clothes that were halfway off.
he really said that, just to make sure you stayed hidden.
just to make sure he didn’t get caught by his main thing.

My Ariel
Michael x singer daughter! Reader
Summary: You got a call to play Ariel but people are not liking it and your dad comforts you and goes to see you sing at the premiere night.
The day you got the call, you thought you were dreaming. You had been sitting in your room, surrounded by lyric notebooks and half finished songs, when your phone rang. You almost didn’t answer. “Hello?” There was a pause. “Hi, this is Disney casting" Your heart stopped.
By the time the call ended, you were sitting completely still, staring at your phone, they wanted you to play Ariel. A Disney princess. You didn’t even realize you were crying until your father walked into the room.
“Sweetheart?” You looked up quickly. Michael noticed. “What happened, baby?” You stood up so fast you almost knocked over your chair. “Dad.” He walked closer. “Are you okay?” You smiled through your tears. “I got it.” His eyebrows lifted. “You got what?”
You laughed because you could barely get the words out. “I’m Ariel.” Michael just stared, his whole face lit up. “Wait“ You nodded. “I’m playing Ariel in The Little Mermaid.” “Baby girl!” He pulled you into the biggest hug. “Oh my goodness.” You laughed against his shoulder.
“Dad, you’re squeezing me.” “I’m sorry” he said, he didn’t let go right away. “My daughter is going to be a Disney princess.” You smiled. “I know.” “You don’t understand.” He held your hands. “A princess.” You laughed. “You’re more excited than me.” “Of course I am.”
He smiled proudly. “You’ve been singing since you were little. I remember you standing in front of the mirror pretending you were performing on stage.” You smiled softly. “I was five.” “You were already a star.”
----------------------------------------------------------
When the announcement became public, the world found out. Unfortunately, not everyone was kind. You had expected criticism.
You knew taking on such an iconic character would bring opinions. You weren’t prepared for the cruelty. The people saying you didn’t belong. People attacking you simply because of who you were. Michael found you sitting quietly in the studio, he knocked softly.
“Can I come in?” You wiped your face quickly. “Yeah.” He sat beside you. “What’s going on, sweetheart?” You shrugged. “People don’t want me to be Ariel.” Michael was quiet, you looked down. “They keep saying I’m not supposed to look like her.” His expression softened. “Baby.”
“I just wanted to make people happy.” Michael gently took your hand. “Look at me.” You did. “Do you know what makes someone a princess?” You shrugged, he tapped your heart gently. “Kindness, courage, love and your spirit.” You listened.
“You think Ariel’s magic came from her hair color?” You shook your head. “No.” “Exactly.” He smiled. “Ariel’s magic came from her voice.” You laughed softly. “I have a pretty big voice.” Michael smiled.
“You have a beautiful voice.” He got serious. “Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like you have to shrink yourself so they can be comfortable.” Your eyes filled. “Dad” “You were chosen because you are you.” He kissed your forehead. “My little mermaid.”
----------------------------------------------------------
As filming went on, Michael supported you every step of the way. He visited set whenever he could and he listened to every song. One evening, you played him your version of “Part of Your World.” He sat silently as your voice filled the room. Your tone was soft and emotional, carrying the same kind of warmth that made him fall in love with music when he was young.
When the song ended, you looked nervous. “Well?” Michael didn’t answer you smiled. “Dad?” He blinked. “Sweetheart.” You noticed his eyes were glossy. “You’re crying.” He laughed quietly. “I’m sorry.”
“You’re literally Michael Jackson and you’re crying.” He shook his head. “No, I’m your dad.” He smiled. “Right now, I’m just a father listening to his little girl sing.” You hugged him. “I love you.” “I love you more.”
----------------------------------------------------------
The premiere night finally arrived. Michael stood beside you on the red carpet, smiling proudly. You looked beautiful, and he kept looking over at you like he still couldn’t believe it. “You okay?” he asked. You nodded. “I’m nervous.” He smiled and adjusted your dress gently. “It means you care.” You laughed. “Only you would make nervousness sound like a good thing.” He grinned, you walked onto the stage. The lights dimmed.
The first notes began, you sang. “Part of Your World.” The entire room went silent. Michael watched from his seat. He watched the little girl who used to sing around the house become a leading lady. When you reached the final note, the audience erupted. Michael stood clapping harder than anyone, his smile was impossible to miss.
You looked toward him he mouthed “I love you.” You smiled. “I love you too.”
----------------------------------------------------------
After the premiere, you found him backstage. He opened his arms. You hugged him. “So?” He pretended to think. “Hmmm.” You laughed. “Dad” He smiled. “Beautiful.” You relaxed. He held your face gently. “You made people believe.” You smiled. “That’s what Ariel does.”
Michael nodded, he smiled proudly. “That’s what you do.” You leaned into him. “Thank you for always believing in me.” He kissed your forehead. “Always.” Then he smiled. “My little princess.” You laughed. “Dad, I’m not a princess.” Michael raised an eyebrow.
“You just played one.” You shook your head and he laughed. “You’re my greatest achievement.” To your dad, you would always be his little girl.
