One more sleep (Michael Langdon x Reader)
[inspiration - one more sleep - Leona Lewis]
Summary: waiting for outpost! Michael to get home for Christmas
“I’ll be back on December 25th.” Michael hugged you tight
“Christmas?” You whispered into his chest, knowing how he would react to that. You grew up celebrating Christmas every year with your family and you found it difficult to let your old traditions go no matter how much Michael hated it.
“Excuse me?” He pushed you away from him, slightly offended at what you had just said.
“December 25th is Christmas. Even you can’t change that.” You snapped back.
“I don’t want to argue with you. I don’t want to leave you like this. Okay I’ll be back on Christmas. I love you Y/N.”
Snow is falling all around us
My baby's coming home for Christmas
I've been up all night inside my bedroom
He said he'll be with me real soon
It’s been two months since Michael left you at the sanctuary to go to outpost 3 to get his Ms Mead and to kill everyone else. You know he said that he would be back on December 25th but on everyday in December you went outside to see if he had come back early. By December 20th you began to get more and more excited because it started to snow, Michael loved the snow. You remembered one year when you and Michael went to New York and had the most romantic kiss in the snow in Central Park. Every night you sat wide awake praying that Michael was okay hoping that nothing bad had happened to him. You hated being away from him for this long but he’ll be back soon.
But I've had as much as I can take
“I can’t wait for Michael to get back. I miss him so much” you sat with Jeff and Mutt because they were the only people that you could stand in this place.
“Really? You hadn’t mentioned. Literally every day… for the past two months.” Jeff replied sarcastically.
“Come on man, she’s allowed to miss her boyfriend. Also he owns our souls so if they got married she would also own us” you nodded in agreement, Mutt was always nice to you and he never got sick of you going on and on about Michael, maybe he did but he didn’t show it.
“I mean he was gone for Halloween which is his favourite holiday and he was gone for his birthday and now it’s snowing. I just need him back now.” You continued talking about him no matter how much it annoyed everyone else.
'Cause I've got 5 more nights of sleeping on my own
4 more days until you're coming home
3 more dreams of you and mistletoe
2 more reasons why I love you so
I've got 5 more nights until you're next to me
4 more days of being lonely
3 more wishes I can barely breathe
If I can make it to Christmas Eve then it's
Every night before you went to bed you crossed off another day on your calendar “five more nights, Michael,” you said to yourself, “four more days, I’ll keep dreaming of you because I know you’ll be back soon. You’ll be by my side soon, I won’t have to be lonely anymore. I love you Michael” you were practically praying to him at this point.
Now I don't think I can remember
A cold and lonelier December
And I find myself singing at the window
Wondering when you're gonna get back home
The next morning you woke up feeling colder and lonelier than ever. Even when you walked around the sanctuary you were surrounded by 100 rich people but none of them were Michael. You walked around singing Christmas songs to yourself completely ignoring everyone else.
But there is nothing I can do to pass this time
You were sitting in a room with some of the cooperative members when the alarms went off and the red lights started flashing suggesting that there had been a security breach, everyone turned to look at you. Could it be Michael? Is he back early? Then two people walked into the room holding a box each with your name on them. There was also a note ‘Y/N I know how much you love Christmas so here is some decorations to make the sanctuary more festive. I’ll be back soon. -Michael’ you began to tear up at the note. You opened one of the boxes to find an artificial white Christmas tree and in the other one was all red and black ornaments and a silver star. Over the next two days you decorated the Christmas tree even though everyone else hated it. They had all sold their souls to the devil so why would they celebrate Christmas.
Until we're rocking around the Christmas tree
Until I got you sitting next to me
We got a lot of catching up to do
I just can't take this missing you
“Happy Christmas Eve Y/N” Jeff sounded excited as he came into the room but you knew that he wasn’t excited for Christmas, he was excited for you to stop talking about how much you missed Michael. You had actually stopped thinking about Michael since the Christmas decorations had arrived but now you were thinking about him again and you were more excited than ever, you couldn’t wait to have him back next to you, to dance around with him again, to catch up with him about what had happened over the past few months.
For the first time in two months You found it easy to fall asleep. Michael said he would be back tomorrow. You dreamt of him again, you two being together, happy and enjoying Christmas together for the first time.
“Y/N” you felt a hand on your arm and someone was sitting on your bed. You didn’t dare open your eyes. What if it wasn’t Michael “Y/N, wake up. It’s Christmas” you could tell that it was Michael because he clenched his teeth when he said ‘Christmas’. You opened your eyes to see him. His clothes were ripped and he was covered in blood. “MICHAEL!” You screamed loud enough to wake everyone in the sanctuary “what happened to you?” You began to cry and you straddled his lap and stroked his cheek.
“I’m fine. There was a witch fight. Not all of this is my blood.” He laughed
“Of course there was” You looked down over him smiling
“Merry Christmas Y/N” he kissed your forehead “I’ll never leave you again”
