m.list
He was never going to let you drink again.
Michael stumbled into your apartment with a quiet sigh, his arms securely wrapped beneath your thighs as you clung to him without a care in the world, your head resting lazily against his shoulder.
That favorite lavender incense of yours you routinely lit drifted faintly through the air, clinging to your home.
“You’re a real piece of work,” he murmured, mostly into your hair.
You responded with nothing but a string of incoherent words that barely resembled a sentence as you smothered your cheek further into the crook of his neck, tousling the collar of his kiss-covered white dress shirt.
He shook his head, unable to hide the small smile of amusement tugging at his mouth. You were far too gone.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
After kicking off his loafers by the door, he carried you further into the apartment and carefully lowered you onto the velvet couch.
It hadn’t felt that way, though.
“Not ‘s harshly..” you whined, giving him a hazy-eyed glare.
Michael looked you over once you were settled, your knees tucked close while his dark blazer was still worn around your shoulders.
His eyebrows knitted together, the amusement on his face mixing with the concern he’d been trying to hide all night.
“Sorry.”
You only hummed in response.
He crouched in front of you and reached for the straps of your sparkly heels, unfastening them.
You shifted, squinting down at him as you frowned.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking your shoes off.”
You blinked.
“Why?”
His gaze flickered up to meet yours, a coy smile on his lips.
“Cause they’ve been hurting your feet for the last hour.”
Before you could argue, he slipped them off and stood, carrying them toward the entryway before placing them neatly on the shoe shelf. While he was at it, he did the same to his loafers.
As he turned back, you snuggled deeper into the cushions, the sides of your face overtaken with the heat of being intoxicated.
“You’re annoying.” you murmured, closing your eyes.
Michael raised an eyebrow as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a mug from the cupboard.
“I’m annoying?”
“Mhm.”
“Why?”
You yawned, Michael filling the glass with water.
“..Cause I never said you could take ‘em off.”
He returned with the water and sat beside you, the cushions dipping slightly beneath his weight.
“You were complaining outside that they hurt.”
He reached out, helping you sit upright.
“S’not the point.”
Michael guided the glass into your hands, making sure you actually drank.
“What is the point, then?”
You took a few slow sips, wiped your mouth with the back of your hand, and looked at him.
Really looked at him, your drooping eyes being the most focused they’d been all night.
“…You’re pretty.”
A quiet breath of laughter left him, the man taking a sip of the water himself.
“You’ve keep saying that.”
You blinked, tilting your head.
“I have?”
He leaned back into the couch, his hands resting in his lap.
“You have.”
You watched as he began to list the events.
“You told the valet he was pretty.”
“He had nice hair.” you murmured.
“You told the bartender she had beautiful eyes.”
“She did.” your eyelids fluttered, growing heavier by the second.
He shook his head, setting the glass on the coffee table in front of you.
When he looked back at you, you were still staring with that same intensity.
“…Still,” you began, your fingers brushing against his face—against the red kisses you’d imprinted upon him earlier.
He looked at you, grabbing your wrist before you’d poke him in the eye accidentally.
“Still what?”
You leaned slightly closer, your voice dropping as if you were sharing a secret.
“You’re the prettiest.”
His smile faded into something softer.
silence stretched between you, your fingers wandering to the collar of his shirt, your eyes half-lidded as you moved closer.
Michael held your shoulders before your lips could meet his.
his grasp hadn’t been harsh, just enough to stop you—to really look at you.
your tousled hair draping over your shoulders, your flushed cheeks, glossy eyes, and your slightly parted rose lips.
You looked up at him, confusion on your face as you frowned.
“..Who am i?” he said quietly.
his bambi brown eyes looked tense as they met yours, his hold around your shoulders growing a fraction tighter.
Your brows pulled together.
“What?”
“Who am I?”
You stared at him, failing to understand why he was asking something so obvious.
“…Michael.”
his expression hadn’t eased though. You smile, the back of your hand brushing against his cheekbone.
“my michael.”
For a moment, he just looked at you.
Then a small, quiet, and genuine smile appeared, reaching his eyes.
“Good.”
You narrowed your eyes.
“Good?”
“Yeah.”
He looked down, shaking his head slightly.
“I was starting to wonder.”
“Wonder what?”
His smile grew.
“Nothing.”
You studied him suspiciously.
“You’re so weird.”
he laughed. “Maybe.”
He stood and held out his hand.
“Come on.”
You looked up at him, blinking.
“..Where?”
“Let’s get you ready for bed.” He said softly, helping you to your feet.

note: oh I hope I’ve done this justice!! I’ve put my own little spin on it!
The rain had settled over Neverland hours ago.
It drummed steadily against the tall windows, turning the massive ranch into a private cocoon of warmth. October always made the place feel different, quieter, more grounded somehow. The amusement park rides stood entirely still beneath the weeping grey sky, the manicured gardens shimmered under the fresh downpour, and inside, every single room glowed with the amber invitation of lamplight.
The main house was unusually peaceful.
The busy daytime energy had melted away; the maids and staff had all gone home for the evening, leaving only you and Michael to enjoy the rare, golden silence.
After spending the entire afternoon comforting your sister through the messy, painful aftermath of a sudden breakup, you finally stepped through the kitchen door. You were exhausted, carrying a heavy ache in your shoulders that sleep alone couldn't fix.
Michael looked up from the counter, where he was halfway through brewing a fresh pot of chamomile tea.
“There you are,” he murmured, his face instantly softening as he set the ceramic mug down.
Before you could even set your purse down on the stool, he crossed the polished floor. His hands were warm as they cupped your face, his thumb gently wiping a stray drop of rain from your cheek before he pressed a long, lingering kiss to your forehead. He didn't pull away immediately, just rested his brow against yours.
“Long day at your sisters?” he asked softly, trying to coax a smile out of you.
You let out a ragged sigh, nodding against his chest. “She’s putting on a brave face, Michael… but she’s completely heartbroken. It was just hours of crying and trying to piece together what went wrong.”
Michael’s expression shifted into one of deep, genuine concern. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you tight against him. “Oh, man, that’s just awful. It breaks my heart to hear that. Did she manage to eat anything at all? I know how she gets when she's upset she completely forgets to take care of herself.”
“Barely a few bites of toast,” you whispered into his shoulder. “I tried to get her to drink some soup, but she just couldn’t stomach it.”
“That’s no good,” Michael murmured, gently stroking your back. “Listen, tomorrow morning, I’m going to have the chefs whip up a big basket of her favorite comfort foods some fresh pastries, fruit, and that specialized herbal tea she loves and I’ll have security drive it right over to her house. We have to make sure she’s looking after her health, okay? And you, too. You carry everyone’s weight on your shoulders, baby.”
“That’s incredibly sweet of you,” you whispered, leaning into his chest to breathe in the familiar, comforting scent of his cologne. “I think she just needs time. Right now, I desperately need a shower to wash this day off of me.”
He chuckled, a low, melodic sound that vibrated against your cheek. “Go on up. Take your time, stay under the hot water as long as you need. I’ll be down in my office, just finishing up a few stubborn lyrics that have been bouncing around my head.”
You pulled back slightly, raising an eyebrow. “You and those lyrics. Do you ever actually switch your brain off?”
“They won’t write themselves,” he argued playfully, giving your hip a gentle nudge toward the stairs. “Now go. Be kind to yourself.”
The master bedroom overlooked the rain-soaked gardens, the glass fogging slightly from the chill outside. You peeled off your heavy layers, stepping into the master bath. The steaming water worked wonders, slowly melting the residual tension from your muscles until your skin was flushed pink.
By the time you dried your hair, you finally felt a sense of peace returning. You slipped into your favorite ivory silk nightdress, the delicate lace along the neckline catching the soft bedroom light, before tying the matching silk robe loosely around your waist.
Downstairs, the long hallway was dark, save for the warm, amber light spilling out from beneath Michael’s office door. You walked barefoot across the hardwood, knocking once out of habit before turning the brass handle.
The fire was crackling beautifully in the hearth, throwing dancing shadows across the mahogany bookshelves. Stacks of leather-bound notebooks lay open across his desk, surrounded by scattered sheets of legal paper covered in his messy, hurried handwriting.
Michael looked up the second the door creaked.
“Hey,” he said, his voice dropping an octave. His entire face brightened, his dark eyes tracking you as you walked in. “Look at you. You look comfortable.”
“I finally feel human again,” you admitted, crossing the room. “The shower saved my life.”
He laughed quietly, tossing his pen onto the desk. “Come here then.”
You didn’t hesitate. Wandering over to his leather chair, you settled yourself sideways across his lap. It was seamless, an unspoken routine, as though your body belonged exactly there. One of his arms immediately looped around your waist, pulling you securely against his chest, while his other hand reached back out to pick up his pen, resuming his idle scribbling.
Every now and then he would pause, humming a complex, beautiful melody beneath his breath a song only he could hear in that brilliant mind of his.
“Mmm…” you hummed along.
“What?” he asked, his lips twitching into a smile as he kept writing.
“You’re doing it again.”
“Doing what?”
“Writing with your mouth. I can hear the bassline in your throat.”
“I think better when I hum,” he defended himself, turning his head to press a quick kiss to your shoulder. “It’s a package deal. You date the man, you date the hum.”
“I’ve noticed,” you teased, leaning your head back against his shoulder.
The room fell into a cozy, easy silence, broken only by the rhythmic lashing of the rain against the glass, the popping of the firewood, and Michael’s soft musical murmurs. Your eyes wandered across his desk shelves until a worn, vintage poetry book caught your eye.
“Oh? What’s this?” You reached out, sliding the delicate book from the shelf. “When did you start reading this one?”
Michael smiled sheepishly, a faint blush creeping up his neck. “A while ago. I found it in an old bookstore in London. It’s got some beautiful imagery in it.”
You flicked through the yellowed pages, stopping when a folded corner caught your attention. “This one’s marked. 'To the One Who Holds the Key.' You dogeared it.”
He immediately looked bashful, trying to gently pull the book from your fingers. “Don’t look at that. I liked that one, that’s all.”
You held it just out of his reach, grinning up at him. “Read it to me.”
He hesitated, looking down at the pages and then into your eyes. “I don't know, baby… I’m tired, my voice is a little raspy tonight.”
“Michael, please? You have the most beautiful reading voice in the world and you know it.”
“You are so incredibly spoiled,” he groaned affectionately, though there was nothing but adoration in his eyes.
“I know,” you smiled, pressing a kiss to his jaw. “Please?”
With a dramatic, loving sigh, he took the book from your hands. Opening to the marked page, his voice became soft, rhythmic, and deeply melodic as he began to read the opening lines:
"The world outside may rage and weep in gray, But in the quiet shelter of your grace, The heavy winter melts entirely away..."
Every word carried a profound, gentle warmth. The poem spoke of quiet devotion of finding a true home in another person, of autumn evenings spent in silence, of gentle touches, and loving someone not for a flawless facade, but simply because they were inherently themselves.
When he finished the final stanza, neither of you spoke for a long moment. There wasn’t any need to fill the air. The fire continued its crackling dance, and outside, the rain kissed the windows in a steady loop.
Michael leaned down, burying his face in the crook of your neck, inhaling deeply against your warm, clean skin.
“Mmm…” he breathed out, his lips brushing your collarbone.
“What is it?”
“Your hair,” he murmured, his fingers tangling into the damp strands. “It smells completely like honey. Just pure, sweet honey. It’s driving me crazy.”
You laughed quietly, a shiver running down your spine as you shifted on his lap so you were facing him more directly, straddling his thighs. “I’ll definitely take that as a compliment.”
“It is a major compliment,” he said, his voice dropping into a husky, deliberate register. He set the poetry book completely aside on the desk and, with a decisive snap, closed his notebook of lyrics. “There.”
“Finished?” you asked, your breath hitching slightly at the sudden intensity in his gaze.
“For tonight. I have much better things to focus on right now.”
You looked at him. Really looked at him. In the dim, flickering firelight, you studied the soft black curls framing his face, the lingering spark of creativity in his eyes, and the tiny, endearing crease between his brows that always appeared when he’d been concentrating too hard.
He noticed your intense gaze. “...Why’re you looking at me like that?” he asked, a shy smile pulling at his lips, though his dark eyes flared with a sudden, heavy heat.
You reached up, your fingers tracing his jawline before gently brushing a stray curl away from his forehead. “Because…” your thumb lingered against his temple, smoothing over his skin, mercilessly breaking the remaining tension of the day, “…I am so deeply, completely in love with you, Michael.”
His playful smile faltered into something incredibly intense. He stared at you, his dark eyes searching yours as if looking for a catch. Then, he shook his head in a quiet, breathless kind of disbelief.
“I don’t think I’ll ever truly understand why you fell for me,” he whispered, his fingers intertwining tightly with yours, pressing your knuckles against his chest so you could feel the steady, rapid thumping of his heart.
“Michael—”
“No, let me say it,” he interrupted softly, his voice thick with emotion. “I fell for you… because you never once treated me like 'Michael Jackson.' Not for a single second. You treated me like Mike. The man. The person who gets clumsy, who burns the toast, who gets tired. You actually listen when I talk. You laugh at my awful, corny jokes. You tell me when I’m overworking myself and look after me.”
He smiled, a low, devastatingly attractive expression as his gaze dropped to your lips. “And you’ve never made me feel like I had to earn your love. I don't have to perform for you.”
Before you could formulate a reply, he leaned forward, closing the small distance between you. He caught your lips in a slow, deep kiss that made your head spin. It started tenderly, but as you sighed into his mouth, his grip on your waist tightened, pulling you firmly against him until there was absolutely no space left between your bodies.
As the kiss deepened, lingering and hot, his hand drifted slowly down your side, his fingers trailing over the smooth fabric of your robe until they found the ivory silk bow tied tightly at your waist.
He paused, pulling back just a fraction of an inch, his dark eyes hooded and heavy with desire. A wicked, playful little glint flashed in them as his lips brushed against yours with every word he spoke.
“So formal,” he murmured, his voice a low, teasing purr that vibrated against your mouth. “All locked up in silk for me?”
With slow, deliberate fingers, he tugged on one end of the ribbon. You watched his face as the knot easily slipped free, the fabric parting and pooling around your hips. His fingertips brushed lightly against the exposed skin of your bare waist, sending a sharp, electric shiver straight up your spine.
His dark eyes snapped back up to meet yours, completely unblinking. The sweet, bashful boy from a moment ago was entirely gone, replaced by a man who knew exactly how to take his time.
“You know…” he whispered, his warm palm sliding completely inside the robe, his thumb slowly tracing the bare curve of your hip, dragging the silk nightdress up your thigh, “…you are the most beautiful, intoxicating thing that’s ever wandered into my life. And right now, you are making it impossible to be good.”
Your breath hitched instantly, a soft gasp escaping your lips as his hand slid further up your back, pulling you flush against his chest. “Michael…”
He chuckled, a low, wicked sound that sent another wave of heat straight to your core. He leaned in closer, his lips tracing a burning path along your jawline before burying themselves in the sensitive skin just beneath your ear. He nipped playfully at your sweet-smelling neck, making you arch into him.
“And somehow,” he whispered against your skin, his hands shifting to grip your hips firmly, lifting you slightly so you could feel the unmistakable, rigid proof of his desire pressing hard against you, “I still get butterflies every single time you walk into a room. But right now? I think I'm completely done talking.”
He chuckled against your skin, that low, rumbling hum vibrating directly against your pulse point before he slowly pulled back. His gaze locked onto yours, heavy-lidded and burning with an intensity that made the air in the room feel completely thick.
Slowly, his large, warm hand traveled up from your waist, his thumb gently stroking the line of your jaw. The contrast of his rough thumb against your flushed skin made you shiver. His touch wandered higher, his thumb tracing the soft curve of your lower lip, pressing down slightly to part them.
You didn't break eye contact. Holding his dark, hooded gaze dead in the eye, you parted your lips further, swapping his thumb for his long fingers. You slowly drew his index and middle fingers into your mouth, wrapping your tongue around them, sucking gently while your eyes stayed locked onto his.
A slow, wicked smirk spread across Michael’s face. He let out a low, ragged breath, his chest expanding against yours.
“You’re so fucking good, baby girl,” he growled, his voice dropping into a raspy, gravelly register you rarely let anyone else hear.
While you continued to hold his fingers in your mouth, his other hand began an agonizingly slow ascent up your thigh. The cool ivory silk of your nightdress bunched up in his palm, sliding higher and higher until the fabric was pushed completely past your hips. His warm, bare palm slid over the sensitive skin of your inner thigh, making your muscles twitch beneath his touch.
His hand moved higher, his fingers parting you effortlessly, sliding right into the heat of your core. As his fingertips brushed against your slick, throbbing clit, finding you completely drenched for him, his smirk widened. He paused, his fingers lightly circling the sensitive bundle of nerves.
“No panties, baby?” he murmured, his voice laced with pure, unadulterated satisfaction at the realisation.
You slowly let his fingers slip from your mouth, a soft gasp escaping your lips as his hand flexed against you. You leaned down closer to his face, your breath hitching, but your voice remained steady, dripping with confidence as you stared right back into his dark eyes.
“I didn't think I'd need them tonight, Mike,” you whispered, your voice a sultry, teasing purr. “Not when I knew you’d be down here, writing lyrics with that pretty mouth of yours. I wanted to make it easy for you to take exactly what’s yours.”
Michael’s eyes flared, a dark, primal heat taking over his expression as he gripped your hip hard enough to leave a mark. “Oh, is that right?” he whispered, his thumb applying a sudden, firm pressure right where you wanted it most, making your hips helplessly roll against his hand. “You came down here just to distract me, didn't you? You knew exactly what you were doing to me in this dress.”
“Maybe I did,” you gasped, arching your back as his fingers began to move in slow, torturous circles against your wet skin. “But you’re the one who closed the notebook, baby. You’re the one who can’t keep his hands off me.”
“And I’m not going to,” he growled softly, his face hovering just inches from yours, his breath hot and demanding. “You’re so wet for me, sweetheart. Tell me how bad you want it. Tell me what you want me to do to you.”
“I need you inside me, Mike,” you panted, your hands gripping his broad shoulders as his fingers continued their steady, maddening friction. “I want to feel how big you are. Make me forget everything but you, baby. Do it.”
He didn't need to be told twice. His thumb slid back over your drenched clit, pressing down and swirling against the sensitive peak with a sudden, deliberate rhythm. The sheer intensity of the pleasure hit you instantly. You threw your head back, a breathless cry ripping from your throat as your spine arched off his lap.
Instantly, his large hand came up to catch the back of your neck, his fingers tangling securely into your honey-scented hair to support your weight. He leaned up, tracking your movement, and began pressing a trail of tender, burning kisses along the exposed line of your throat. Each kiss was a soft, warm contrast to the devastatingly wicked work his other hand was doing between your thighs.
“That’s it, let it out for me,” he murmured against your skin, his breath hitching as your thighs trembled against his hips.
Then, hooded and heavy-lidded eyes never leaving your face, he shifted his hand slightly and slipped a single, long finger inside your heat. You were so incredibly tight, your body instantly clamping down around him, and your mouth formed a perfect, breathless “O” shape as the fullness stretched you out.
A loud, uninhibited moan echoed through the quiet office, bouncing off the mahogany shelves.
Michael’s smirk returned, deeper and darker this time. He pumped his finger in slowly, testing your wetness, feeling the internal ripples of your body wrapping tightly around him. He leaned in close, his lips brushing your earlobe as he spoke, his voice dropping into a deep, raspy purr.
“Think you can take another one, baby girl? Look at how tight you are for me.”
Before you could even gasp out an answer, he slid a second finger right alongside the first, stretching you beautifully. You let out a high, sharp cry, your hips bucking upward instinctively. Michael growled, gripping your waist tightly with his free hand to anchor you down as he instantly picked up the pace, his two fingers driving into you with deep, rhythmic strokes.
The friction against your clit combined with the deep, stretching pace of his fingers was entirely too much. You looked down at him, your eyes half-lidded and glazed with raw pleasure, and leaned in close to his ear to whisper through your panting breaths.
“You’re stretching me so good, Mike… fuck, you feel so big inside me. Harder, baby, ride me with your fingers. I’m melting for you.”
The dirty talk hit him like a physical blow. Michael’s pupils dilated, a dark, primal growl ripping from his chest. “God, you’re a little bad girl,” he choked out, his control snapping as his fingers began to drive into you faster, harder, ruthlessly targeting the sensitive spot inside you over and over again.
Your head swirled, the heat in your lower stomach tightening into a knot before completely shattering. You began to orgasm, your walls contracting violently around his fingers in heavy, desperate waves. You cried out his name, your fingers digging into his shoulders as your body shook with the release, riding the intense waves of your climax right on his lap.
Michael watched you the entire time, absorbing every moan, every twitch of your body, a look of fierce, possessive pride written across his face. He kept up the steady pace until the worst of the tremors subsided, slowly drawing his slick, soaked fingers out of your heat.
Holding your gaze, he slowly brought his hand up to his mouth and sucked his own fingers clean, his tongue swirling around them, his dark eyes never breaking contact with yours.
The sight sent a fresh wave of heat straight to your core. Driven by a sudden surge of desire, you shifted your weight and slid off his lap, dropping to your knees on the soft rug between his thighs.
Michael’s breath caught in his throat, his hands resting on the arms of the leather chair as he looked down at you. “What are you doing, sweetheart?”
You didn't answer with words. Reaching up, your hands were steady as you unbuckled his leather belt, the metal clinking softly in the quiet room. You undid the button of his trousers, slowly zipping them down and pulling his dark underwear out of the way. His thick, rigid cock sprang free, completely hard and glistening with anticipation.
You leaned forward, wrapping your lips around the plush head of his length, and began to suck him slowly, drawing him into the wet warmth of your mouth.
Michael let out a loud, ragged grunt, his eyes snapping shut as his head fell back against the headrest of his chair. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the armrests. You kept your eyes wide open, looking straight up at him through your lashes as you moved your mouth up and down his length, swirling your tongue over the sensitive ridge.
He opened his eyes, looking down at you, his chest heaving. “God… those pretty eyes looking up at me while you do that,” he groaned, his voice completely wrecked. “You’re killing me, baby. You look so beautiful down there.”
Spurred on by his praise, you gripped the base of his shaft and pushed yourself forward, taking him much deeper into your throat, swallowing him whole.
Michael let out a harsh, choked cry, his hand flying to the back of your head, his fingers tangling into your hair to hold you there for a split second as his hips twitched upward.
“Fuck… look at how much of me my baby girl can take,” he gasped, his voice trembling with the sheer intensity of the sensation. “You’re so deep, sweetheart. So wet.”
You bobbed your head a few more times, pulling out just enough to swirl your tongue around him before taking him deep again, pulling a string of heavy, breathless groans from his throat. You could feel his core tightening, his breathing turning into shallow, desperate gasps as he neared the edge.
Right before he could come, you deliberately pulled away. You licked your wet lips, looking up at him with a teasing, sultry smile as he let out a whimper of pure frustration.
“Oh, no, baby,” you whispered, standing up slowly. “Not yet. I want to feel you inside me.”
Michael didn't waste a single second. He stood up, his trousers pooling around his ankles as he stepped out of them, his tall, lean frame completely imposing in the firelight. He reached out, his hands gripping the hem of your ivory silk nightdress, and in one swift, fluid motion, he pulled it up and over your head, tossing it carelessly onto the floor along with your robe.
You stood entirely bare before him, and his eyes devoured you. Without a word, he grabbed you by the waist and lifted you effortlessly, hoisting you up onto the edge of the large mahogany desk, scattering a few sheets of lyric paper to the floor.
Before your heels could even settle against the wood, Michael crowded into your space, his body hot and heavy against yours. He crashed his lips onto yours in a fierce, possessive kiss, his tongue instantly demanding entry, drowning out your soft gasp.
His hands gripped your thighs, pulling your legs wide apart and draping them over his broad shoulders. He positioned himself at your entrance, the thick, burning head of his cock rubbing against your still-throbbing clit.
He pulled back from the kiss just an inch, his dark eyes ablaze, his breath mingling with yours. “Don't make me beg for it, Mike. Put it in,” you provoked him, your hands sliding up his chest, your fingers digging into his warm skin as you stared back at him with desperate desire. “I want you to stretch me out. Fill me up right now.”
“I’m going to stretch you so wide, baby,” he growled back, his voice completely raw. “You’re mine. All of you.”
With a heavy, deliberate thrust of his hips, he slipped himself all the way inside you, buried to the absolute hilt.
Both of your voices merged into a loud, echoing moan that shattered the quiet of the room. You cried out at the sheer, overwhelming fullness of him, your inner walls squeezing him tightly as Michael let out a deep, guttural groan, burying his face in the crook of your neck as he began to move inside you, the heavy rain outside completely forgotten against the heat of the fire.
The agonizingly perfect stretch of him filling you completely made your vision blur. You clamped your legs tighter around his broad shoulders, anchoring him closer as his hips locked flush against yours. Michael let out a ragged, trembling breath against your collarbone, holding completely still for a fraction of a second just to let your tight walls adjust to the massive size of him.
Slowly, his large hands slid up from your hips, his long fingers trailing up your ribcage until they cupped your breasts. He squeezed them firmly, his thumbs brushing in heavy, deliberate circles over your taut, sensitive nipples.
“God, you feel incredible,” Michael choked out, his voice a deep, gravelly growl that sent shivers straight to your core. “So tight. Look at how beautifully you take all of me. You’re built perfectly for this, sweetheart.”
“You’re so big, Mike,” you whined, your hands clawing at his back as he pulled back slightly and delivered a slow, crushing thrust that bottomed out deep against your cervix. “Ah! Fuck, you’re hitting everything… keep going, baby. Don’t stop.”
“I’m not stopping a single thing,” he whispered hoarsely, his pace instantly quickening. His hands stayed locked onto your breasts, caressing and lifting them as his lower body worked with a fierce, punishing rhythm. The wet, slapping sound of his hips pounding against your bare thighs echoed through the office, competing with the heavy downpour outside. “Tell me how good it feels. Tell me what I'm doing to you.”
“It’s ruining me,” you cried out, your head tossing from side to side on the desk, scattering handwritten lyric sheets to the floor. “You’re stretching me so wide, Mike… fuck, hard, give it to me hard. It's all yours.”
“Yeah, it is,” he growled, his pupils dilated with absolute dominance as he hammered into you, his breathing turning into sharp, desperate pants. “Every single drop of this is mine. You’re so fucking good for me.”
Suddenly, Michael groaned, his grip tightening on your waist as he abruptly pulled himself completely out of your dripping heat. You let out a loud whimper of pure frustration, your hips instinctively chasing his warmth.
“Mike, please, don’t do that—”
“I’m not done with you, sweetheart,” he panted, his chest heaving as he gripped your thighs and hoisted you off the edge of the desk. Your feet hit the soft rug, your knees trembling so hard you could barely stand. Before you could even catch your breath, Michael gripped your hips and spun you around, pressing your chest flat against the polished wood of the desk.
He leaned over your back, his heavy, rigid length pressing hard against the crease of your ass. With one hand, he reached forward, his fingers tangling firmly into your honey-scented hair at the base of your neck, gently pulling your head back so you had to look toward him.
“Look at you,” he whispered, his voice dripping with raw, possessive lust. “Bent over my desk, dripping wet, completely bare for me. My pretty girl.”
He guided his slick head back to your entrance and, with one brutal, unrelenting shove of his hips, he buried himself back inside you from behind. The change in angle made him hit even deeper, invading you completely. You let out a loud, piercing scream, your fingers digging into the edge of the mahogany wood.
“Oh my god! Mike! Deeper… please, bend me over and go deeper,” you begged, your voice cracking with overwhelming pleasure. “I need you all the way inside. Fuck me harder, baby, please.”
“God, you love it hard, don’t you?” Michael growled, his control snapping entirely at your words. He tightened his grip on your hair, pulling just enough to make you arch your back perfectly as he began to ruthlessly pound into you from behind. Every thrust was deep, heavy, and utterly consuming. “Take it then, baby girl. Take all of me. You want it deeper? Look at how much you’re taking.”
“Yes! Ah, fuck, right there, Mike! Right there,” you screamed, your hips mindlessly slamming back against his with every thrust, meeting his brutal pace. “I’m gonna cum, baby, I’m gonna cum again.”
“Cum for me, sweetheart. Let me feel you squeeze me,” he commanded, his voice raw, his own pace turning completely frantic as he felt your core begin to contract violently around him. “I’m right there with you… fuck, you’re so hot, you’re milking me so good—”
The tightening in your lower stomach shattered completely, sending a massive, paralyzing orgasm crashing through your entire body. Your walls clamped down around him like a vice, pulsing in heavy, desperate waves. The sensation pushed Michael completely over the edge. With a loud, deep, guttural roar that tore from his chest, he buried himself to the absolute hilt inside you, his hips twitching violently as he shot his hot, heavy load deep into your contracting warmth.
He held himself deep inside you for several long, trembling seconds, his chest slamming heavily against your bare back as both of your ragged breathing filled the quiet room. The fire crackled softly in the background, a sharp contrast to the absolute wreckage of the desk.
His grip on your hair relaxed, his fingers gently smoothing down the tangled strands before he reluctantly pulled out of you, a soft hiss escaping his lips. He wrapped his arms around your bare waist from behind, pulling your back flush against his sweat-glistened chest, both of you still shaking from the intensity.
Michael buried his face in the crook of your neck, kissing the damp skin tenderly before letting out a low, breathless chuckle.
“Well,” he murmured, his raspy voice vibrating directly against your skin as his hand slid down to playfully pinch your bare hip. “I think those lyrics are definitely going to have a completely different vibe tomorrow.”
You let out a weak, breathy laugh, leaning back into his heavy warmth. “You’re a menace, Mike. My legs are completely like jelly.”
He turned you around in his arms, his dark eyes sparkling with a wicked, deeply satisfied smirk as he looked down at your flushed, thoroughly loved-on face.
“Good,” he whispered, his thumb tracing your swollen, bitten lower lip. “That means I did my job right. Now let’s get you back upstairs so I can clean you up… and maybe do it all over again.”

the encore had barely ended when michael was already scanning the backstage corridor for the nearest phone. the roar of the crowd still there, but he barely noticed it. michael was thinking only of home, of you, of the call he always made after a show.one of the dancers caught up beside him and slapped a hand lightly against his shoulder.
“good show.”
michael gave a tired smile. “you say that every night.”
“’cause every night you outdo yourself.” he shook his head, but his attention was already drifting away. “wish she could’ve seen it.”
“you’ll be home before you know it.”
he hoped so.
michael slipped into his dressing room and closed the door behind him. flowers lined one wall, gifts from fans sat stacked on a table, and costume jackets hung from a rack. michael dropped onto the couch with a tired sigh and reached for the phone. his fingers had just started dialing your number when someone knocked.
three quick taps that sounded impatient.
he frowned toward the door. “come in.”
the door opened slowly.
it was bill.
normally, michael would have expected him to step inside already talking about tomorrow’s schedule or security. instead, bill just stood there in the doorway, holding a folded newspaper in one hand. his face had gone pale. something in the room shifted the moment michael saw him.
“mike…”
michael lowered the phone at once. “what is it?”
bill didn’t answer right away. he crossed the room and placed the newspaper on the coffee table between them.
“i don’t know how accurate it is.”
michael’s eyes dropped to the front page. then the room seemed to fall away around him.
michael jackson’s longtime girlfriend hospitalized after devastating car crash!
for a second, the words refused to make sense. his mind tried and failed to arrange them into something less terrible. his throat locked, and a cold rush swept through his chest and down his arms. his fingers went numb around the phone.
he read the headline again and again.
his eyes raced down the article.
late this afternoon, multiple injuries, transported by ambulance, sources say condition unknown, hospital officials declined to comment, witnesses described the scene as catastrophic, friends reportedly gathered at the hospital. the words on the page seemed to jump and his mouth went dry so fast it hurt to swallow.
“no…”
he grabbed the paper with both hands, the pages crinkling under his grip. there had to be another line, another page, a correction. something. anything that would stop the panic from climbing higher, faster, choking him from the inside. instead, every paragraph seemed to undo the one before it.
one claimed you were stable, another said you were fighting for your life, one insisted you’d spoken to paramedics, another quoted an unnamed witness who believed you’d been unconscious the entire time.
none of it fit together, and none of it answered the only question that mattered.
were you alive?
“where did this come from?”
his voice sounded strange to him, thin and scraped raw, like it had been dragged over gravel.
“a british tabloid,” bill said carefully. “security brought it up a few minutes ago.”
“it’s wrong.” michael shook his head at once, the motion sharp and desperate. “it has to be.”
bill didn’t say anything. that silence landed heavier than the article itself. his hands were already moving before he had finished thinking. he snatched the phone back up and dialed your apartment.
no answer.
he tried again, faster this time, then your office, then hayvenhurst, his fingers slipping on the buttons as if they no longer belonged to him. each ring stretched longer than the last. each voicemail, each dead line, each unanswered call made the room feel smaller.
“try the hospital.” bill said quietly.
michael nodded, though his breathing had already gone shallow. he called the number listed in the article, then another, then the operator when he couldn’t get through. his voice broke on the first question.
“please. i just need to know if she’s there.”
“i’m sorry, sir.”
click and then the line went dead.
he stared at the receiver for a long moment before lowering it slowly. the room had gone so quiet. he looked back at the newspaper lying open across the coffee table.
the picture wasn’t even of you, it was your car. or what was left of it.
glass scattered across wet pavement. the front end crushed inward. one headlight hanging at an angle. flashing ambulance lights frozen in the photograph like a warning that had arrived too late. his chest tightened so violently it felt as if the air had been punched out of him.
all he could picture was you inside it.
alone, hurt, calling for him.
while he stood on a stage six thousand miles away beneath bright lights and applause that suddenly seemed to belong to another life.
for the first time in years, michael jackson sat frozen with the receiver still in his hand, listening to the dead hum of the line while the newspaper lay open on the table. the photograph of the wreck kept flashing behind his eyes. the crushed metal, the shattered glass, and all he could think was that somewhere inside that ruin was the only person he wanted to reach, and he could not even tell if you were alive to hear him. he had never felt so helpless.
he didn’t remember standing. one moment he was staring at the newspaper, the next, he was pacing the dressing room in sharp, restless cuts, one hand knotted in his curls, the other crushing the receiver until the plastic creaked in his grip.
“call again.”
bill looked up.
“michael—”
“call again.”
the words came out ragged.
“call every hospital in los angeles if you have to.”
bill nodded at once, already reaching for another phone. within minutes the room was alive with motion and noise. security was calling hospitals, management was trying your friends, someone was reaching for the police department. everyone was moving, talking, promising.
everyone except michael.
he couldn’t get enough air, couldn’t make his mouth form anything useful, and every awful possibility was already shouting in his head.
he stopped long enough to look at the newspaper again, but he wished he hadn’t. the photograph turned his stomach. he remembered handing you those car keys months earlier, laughing when you’d laughed about finally replacing your old one. now there was only wreckage and broken light and the sickening shape of something that had once been yours.
his grip tightened until his fingers ached.
“we found the hospital.” michael’s head snapped up. bill had one hand over the receiver.
“they won’t tell us anything.”
“give me the phone.” bill hesitated.
“michael…”
“bill.”
he crossed the room in three quick strides and took the receiver before anyone could stop him.
“please.” the word came out thin, stripped bare by fear.
“my name is michael jackson.”
the woman on the other end stayed polite, which somehow made it worse.
“i’m sorry, sir. i can’t confirm or deny whether a patient is here.”
“please.” he shut his eyes. his throat burned.
“i’m in europe.”
his breath caught.
“i… i just finished a show.” the sentence broke apart in his mouth, useless and trembling.
“i just need to know if she’s alive.”
there was silence on the line. for one impossible second, he thought she might tell him, but instead “i’m very sorry.” escaped her lips.
click.
the dial tone returned, flat and merciless.
michael slowly lowered the receiver. the room seemed to tilt around him, the floor sliding beneath his feet. bill caught his arm before his knees could fold.
“sit down.”
he didn’t argue. he sank onto the couch, elbows on his knees, both hands covering his face. his thoughts would not slow down. what if you’d been asking for him? what if you’d woken up scared and alone and kept calling his name? what if you’d been in pain and he hadn’t been there to hear it? what if you hadn’t woken up at all?
he pressed harder against his eyes until stars burst behind the lids. michael tried not to think of negatively, but the images kept coming anyway.
the dressing room door opened again. this time it was frank. he looked from bill to michael, and whatever he saw changed his face at once.
“what happened?”
bill quietly handed him the newspaper.
frank read the headline and his mouth tightened.
“…jesus.” michael looked up.
“i’m leaving.”
bill exchanged a glance with frank.
“the plane isn’t ready until tomorrow.”
“then i’ll take another one.”
“there isn’t another one.”
“charter one.”
“the weather’s grounded everything.”
the word hit harder than he expected.
grounded. he couldn’t even get on a plane. he was trapped, thousands of miles away while you were somewhere in a hospital bed and he had no way to reach you. the helplessness of it turned his stomach.
he let out a breath that shook all the way through him.
“i can’t stay here.”
his voice was barely there.
“she needs me.”
bill crouched in front of him.
“and you’ll get to her.”
“when?”
bill didn’t answer because he didn’t know. no one did.
hours passed without meaning.
the dressing room emptied. every few minutes he dialed your apartment again. your answering machine, your office, your friends. nothing. each unanswered ring scraped away another layer of patience, another layer of hope, until all that was left was raw, trembling dread.
as dawn began creeping through the hotel windows, exhaustion settled into his bones, but sleep never came. he sat with the newspaper folded beside him, unable to look at it and unable to throw it away, as if letting it go would make the whole thing real in a way he couldn’t survive.
then the phone rang.
every head in the room turned, and bill answered first.
“…hello?”
michael was already on his feet rushing over.
bill listened for several long seconds. his expression shifted. not panic, not relief, something caught between the two, as if he was afraid to hope too quickly and afraid not to hope at all.
he covered the receiver.
“it’s one of the nurses.” michael crossed the room immediately that he nearly knocked the chair over.
“is she okay?”
bill handed him the phone without another word. his pulse hammered so hard he could barely hear the line. his hand was shaking so badly the receiver felt slick and warm against his palm.
“hello?”
“mr. jackson?”
“yes.”
another pause. then the words he’d been waiting to hear all night.
“she’s alive.”
his knees nearly gave out. he grabbed the edge of the table to steady himself, fingers whitening against the wood.
alive.
the word kept striking through him, over and over, until it hurt. the nurse continued gently.
“she’s stable.”
he closed his eyes, tears spilling before he could stop them.
stable. alive. breathing. somewhere, impossibly, you were still here.
the air rushed back into his lungs all at once, sharp and almost painful after the suffocating hours before.
“can i talk to her?”
his voice came out barely above a whisper.
another pause.
“…i’m sorry.”
his chest tightened again, but this time it was different—not the blind terror from before, something softer, aching, but bearable in the way a wound is bearable only because it has not yet been touched.
“she’s still asleep.”
the nurse explained that you’d suffered a concussion, a broken wrist, several cracked ribs, and countless cuts and bruises. you’d undergone surgery overnight, and the medication was keeping you asleep. they expected a full recovery, but you wouldn’t be going home for several days. michael listened to every word without interrupting.
every injury made something in him pull tighter. every bruise felt like a blow he should have taken instead. but every sentence ended the same way.
you were going to be okay.
when the call ended, he stayed where he was, the receiver still pressed to his ear as if he could keep your voice there by refusing to let go.the room around him came back in pieces.
bill stepped closer.
“mike?”
michael looked at him through tear-filled eyes. the smallest, unsteady smile touched his mouth, fragile as glass.
“she’s alive.”
the words broke something open in him and let the air back in. for the first time in nearly twelve hours, the fear loosened its grip enough for him to stand, and beneath the tears and exhaustion there was only one thought left, fierce and certain: he was going home to her.
the flight home felt endless. michael had never hated time the way he did now. every minute the plane stayed in the air felt like punishment, like the universe had decided to stretch the distance between you and him. his knee bounced hard, and he kept staring at the seatback in front of him, then out the window, then at the tiny screen showing the flight path crawling across the map. none of it helped. he tried to read the same paragraph over and over until the words blurred. he tried to close his eyes, but all he saw was flashing lights, twisted metal, the headline he’d read with shaking hands in the airport lounge. even music couldn’t drown out the thought pounding in his skull.
you were in a hospital bed.
you were hurt.
you were alone.
the nurse’s voice from the phone call kept replaying in his head, soft and careful and far too calm for the words she was saying.
she’s stable.
stable.
he repeated it until it stopped sounding real. every so often he pulled the small piece of paper from his jacket pocket, the one with the hospital’s address written on it. he checked it like it might vanish if he didn’t. the numbers were still there, the hospital was still there, and you were still there. it was the only thing keeping him together before the plane even landed.
the second the wheels hit the runway in los angeles, he was already unbuckling his seatbelt.
security tried to keep photographers back as he hurried through the airport, head down, jaw clenched so tightly it hurt. his throat felt raw, as if he’d been swallowing panic for hours.
questions followed him everywhere.
“michael, is it true?”
“how is she doing?”
“have you spoken to her?”
“is she awake?”
he didn’t answer.
if he opened his mouth, he was afraid something broken would come out instead. the drive to the hospital passed in a blur of traffic lights and familiar streets that suddenly looked wrong. los angeles had never felt so large.
he kept looking out the window, but he wasn’t really seeing anything. billboards, palm trees, storefronts—all of it smeared together into one long stretch of distance. the car’s air conditioning blew cold against his face, but his skin still felt hot.
when the car finally pulled beneath the emergency entrance, he was out before it had fully stopped.
the smell of antiseptic hit him the moment the sliding doors opened, bright white lights, quiet voices.
everything felt painfully ordinary, as though the worst night of his life had happened inside a place that hadn’t stopped moving for a second.
he gave your name at the front desk and the receptionist recognized him immediately, but to her credit, she didn’t say anything about it. no startled gasp. no pitying look. just a gentle smile that made his chest ache even more.
“third floor.”
he thanked her so quickly the words nearly ran together.
his reflection stared back at him in the mirrored doors. he looked wrecked. his eyes were bloodshot and hollow. there was a shadow of stubble along his jaw. his shirt was wrinkled from hours of sitting still and failing to do it gracefully. he barely recognized himself.
for a second, he looked like someone who had been dragged through grief and left standing anyway.
the doors slid open.
room 318.
he stopped outside the door.
for the first time since reading the newspaper, he was afraid to go inside. before this, he had only had fragments—a headline, a phone call, a voice telling him you were alive. now there would be proof. now there would be the sight of you, and he didn’t know if that would save him or destroy him. he rested one hand against the doorframe and took a slow breath.
then he pushed the door open.
you were asleep. the room was quiet except for the steady rhythm of the heart monitor beside your bed. a cast covered your wrist. small white bandages crossed your forehead. bruises colored the side of your face and disappeared beneath the collar of the hospital gown. one of your hands rested limp against the blanket, fingers slightly curled.
you looked smaller somehow, fragile.
like the world had taken something from you and left behind only the outline. his breath caught so sharply it hurt.
the newspaper had prepared him for the worst. seeing you alive somehow hurt even more, because now he could see everything you’d been through. every bruise. every bandage. every inch of pain he hadn’t been there to stop.
he crossed the room carefully and lowered himself into the chair beside you. his fingers hovered over yours for a second before gently slipping around your uninjured hand.
his shoulders finally loosened, just enough for the tears to come. they slipped down his face without warning, silent and steady. he bowed his head over your hand, pressing it gently against his forehead like he was trying to apologize to your skin for every mile that had separated him from you.
“i’m so sorry…”
the words were barely audible.
“i should’ve been here.”
his thumb brushed lightly across your knuckles.
“they told me you were alive…”
his voice broke on the last word.
“…but i don’t think i believed it until now.”
hours seemed to pass. the light in the room shifted slowly from pale morning to a softer afternoon glow. nurses came and went quietly, checking monitors and changing medications, speaking in low voices that made the room feel even more fragile. one offered him coffee. he thanked her, but never touched it. the cup sat untouched on the side table while he stayed exactly where he was, still holding your hand like letting go would make you vanish again.
late that afternoon, you stirred.
it was small at first—a shift beneath the blanket, a faint tightening around your mouth. then your eyebrows pulled together slightly before your eyes blinked open.
“…michael?”
your voice came out rough and thin, like it had to fight its way past pain to reach him. he looked up so quickly the chair nearly tipped backward. a smile broke across his face before another wave of tears replaced it.
“hey…”
he laughed shakily, rubbing at his eyes with the heel of his hand like he was embarrassed to be caught crying and unable to stop.
“hi.”
you frowned a little, still trying to focus.
“you’re crying.”
he let out another breathless laugh that sounded more like a sob trying to disguise itself.
“yeah.”
his voice cracked immediately.
“yeah, i am.”
you tried to squeeze his hand, but the movement made you wince. he noticed at once, every muscle in him going rigid.
“don’t.”
he leaned forward, panic flashing across his face.
“don’t move too much.”
his eyes searched every bruise, every bandage, every inch of your face as though making sure you were still there. you watched him quietly, your expression softening even through the pain.
“how long have you been here?”
“a few hours.”
“you should’ve slept.”
he smiled faintly, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
“i’ll sleep later.”
there was a long silence, full of everything neither of you knew how to say yet. then you noticed the clothes he was wearing.
“you came straight from the airport.”
“straight here.”
his thumb moved in slow circles over your skin, the motion more for him than for you.
“they said…”
he swallowed hard.
“…they said the crash was bad.”
you nodded once.
“it was.”
his jaw tightened so suddenly it looked painful.
“the papers said you were…”
he couldn’t finish. the fear of it still sat too close to the surface, sharp and ugly and impossible to touch directly.
you reached over with your free hand as far as your ribs would allow. your fingertips brushed his wrist.
“i’m okay.”
that was all it took.
every bit of composure he’d managed to hold onto since leaving europe disappeared at once. he bent forward carefully until his forehead rested against the edge of the mattress beside your hand. his shoulders shook with quiet sobs.
you’d never seen him cry like this, not after award shows, not after difficult rehearsals, not after losing sleep for weeks and pretending he was fine anyway.
this was different.
this was fear finally finding somewhere to go.
you gently ran your fingers through his curls, slowly, carefully, like he might shatter if you moved too fast.
“hey.”
you whispered.
he shook his head, still pressed against the bed.
“i thought…”
another shaky breath.
“i thought i lost you.”
your chest tightened so hard it almost hurt to breathe.
“michael…”
he looked up.
his eyes were red and swollen, his lashes damp. there was something raw in his face you had never seen before, stripped bare by terror and exhaustion.
“i kept calling.”
he laughed softly through his tears, but the sound was wrecked.
“your apartment. your office. every hospital. i couldn’t get anybody to tell me anything.”
he swallowed hard.
“i have never been so scared in my life.”
you squeezed his hand again. this time he squeezed back immediately. a nurse stepped into the room, smiling when she saw you awake.
“looks like someone’s feeling better.”
you managed a small smile.
“a little.”
she checked your chart before looking at michael, then at the way he was still holding your hand like it was the only thing anchoring him to the floor.
“she’s going to be just fine.”
he nodded, unable to speak.
the nurse quietly excused herself, and after she left, michael looked back at you, his expression still tight with emotion.
“the tour can wait.”
you blinked.
“what?”
“i’m staying.”
“michael…”
“i don’t care what anybody says.”
his voice was gentle, but there was steel underneath it now, something steadier than panic and just as strong.
“i’m not leaving again until you’re home.”
you knew how much those words cost.
concerts had been scheduled for months. thousands of people were waiting. contracts. promoters. television appearances. people who would call this irresponsible, dramatic, impossible. for years, the tour had been his whole world. now he looked at you like nothing else existed. like the rest of the world could burn down and he’d still choose this room if it meant you were breathing in it.
a few days later, he helped you through the front door of your house.
one arm stayed carefully around your waist while the other carried the overnight bag the nurses had insisted you take. he moved at your pace, slow and patient, checking your face every few steps.
“you okay?”
you laughed softly, though it came out tired.
“you’ve asked me that five times.”
he smiled sheepishly, but there was still worry in his eyes.
“i know.”
“i’m okay.”
“you sure?”
you laughed again, a little more this time.
“yes.”
he unlocked the door and followed you inside. everything looked exactly the way you’d left it. your favorite blanket still draped across the couch. a half-finished book on the coffee table. a mug still sitting beside the sink.
life had paused.
but it hadn’t forgotten you.
michael stood in the doorway for a moment, taking it in like he was afraid to breathe too hard and break the spell. then he pulled the folded newspaper from his jacket pocket.
the same one that had made the world stop. he looked at it once, jaw tight, then carried it into the kitchen and dropped it into the trash.
the sound was small and final.
when he came back, you were watching him.
“i’m done letting them tell me what happened to you.” he said softly.
“from now on, i only want the truth from the person who lived it.”
you smiled, tired but real.
“deal.”
he leaned down and kissed your forehead, lingering there like he was learning the shape of home all over again.
outside, the city kept moving. reporters would keep waiting. phones would keep ringing. the tour would start again, eventually. the world would ask for pieces of him. but in the quiet of your house, none of that could reach you. tonight, the only thing that mattered was the warmth of your hand in his. for the first time in days, home was no longer something he had to find. home was the sound of you breathing beside him.
i hope i did you justice anon😔 i’m so sorry it took me a bit to write. I’ve been enjoying the hot summer weather!!

The first time you met Michael Jackson, you almost knocked him out with a bedpan.
Not the best first impression.
It was 1982, and you had just been hired on as a pediatric nurse for Brotman Memorial Hospital: bright-eyed, fresh out of nursing school, and ready to prove your student loans weren't for nothing.
The entire week, all anyone had been able to talk about at work was the fact that the Michael Jackson was visiting the pediatric wing. Nurses and doctors alike muttered about what they thought he would be like in-person, a few of your colleagues going as far as to gossip in the break room about how to get noticed by him.
You, on the other hand, were not as starstruck.
You had work to do.
Hey guys! I restarted my account because my old one was horribly outdated and had fanfics I wrote like 10 years ago 😬. I’m starting a new fanfiction account! I accept requests from pretty much any fandom, just ask and I’ll see what I can do!
