Cuteeeeeee🤍
The bathroom is completely filled with thick clouds of warm steam, smelling faintly of your favorite vanilla body wash.
You usually get embarrassed to sing anywhere near Michael—partly because his own voice is a literal global powerhouse, and partly because the sheer intensity of his focus when he actually listens to you makes your heart race too fast.
But right now, under the hot water, you feel completely invincible.
You take a deep breath and slide effortlessly into the smooth, romantic melody of your favorite song of his: The Lady in My Life.
“There'll be no darkness tonight, lady our love will shine...”
Your voice carries beautifully through the steam, hitting the soft notes with a quiet confidence you’d never show him in the living room. You rinse the soap from your hair, completely lost in the rhythm, entirely unaware that the bathroom door has just clicked open a fraction of an inch.
Michael had been walking down the hallway when the sweet sound of his own song caught his ear. He knows exactly how shy you get about your voice around him, so instead of bursting in and interrupting, he plays it completely smart. He creeps inside the bathroom, closing the door behind him without making a single sound.
He drops onto the closed lid of the toilet seat just a few feet away from the shower, leaning his elbows on his knees. He pulls his dark curls back from his face, a slow smile pulling at his lips. Listening to you sing his words, completely uninhibited and happy, is the most beautiful thing he’s ever heard.
“So listen to my heart... lay your body close to mine...”
Michael closes his eyes for a second, a soft chuckle vibrating in his chest. His gravelly voice stays completely trapped behind his teeth because he refuses to ruin this moment.
While you’re still humming the song, he stands up and drops his clothes in a silent heap.
You take a breath to start the next line:
“Lay back in my tenderness, Let's make this a night we won't forget…”
Right as you were about to sing the next part, the frosted glass door slides open, letting a swirl of cool air cut through the steam. You gasp, your voice instantly catching in your throat.
But before you can even cover yourself, Michael steps into the heavy spray.
His bare frame instantly crowds the small space, hot water immediately slicking down his dark curls and running in streams over his shoulders.
Hands launching forward to grip your waist, pulling your back against his chest under the cascading water. He leans his head down, his lips brushing right against your wet ear, and takes over the melody in an effortlessly rich voice.
“Reach out to a fantasy, Two hearts in a beat of ecstasy…..Come to me, girl…”
The sheer beauty of his voice so close makes your knees go weak. You lean back against his chest, your hands instinctively coming up to rest over his forearms at your waist. The embarrassment completely melts away under the heat of the water and the sheer romance of the moment.
He turns you around in his arms so you're facing him, the water running down on your back. He hooks a finger under your chin, tilting your face up, his eyes lock onto yours with total encouragement.
"Don't stop," Michael whispers, "Sing it with me."
You smile and close the space between you. Your softer tone wrapping around his strong but delicate voice.
“And I will keep you warm, Through the shadows of the night…Let me touch you with my love, I can make you feel so right…”
Wrapping your arms around his neck, you both sway your bodies to the rhythm in smooth motion.
“Cause you will always be the lady in my life…”
Michael’s face breaks into a proud, dazzlingly handsome smile. "Best duet ever."
He wraps his arms completely around you, lifting you slightly off your feet as he place a lingering kiss on your lips, tastes like pure warmth.
"You are." He whispered against your lips.
"Hm?" You hummed, raising your eyebrows.
"The one and only lady in my life."
