writer!michael spending hours biting his bottom lip, his pale face glowing from the light of his laptop screen as he sat on the couch with you. you drape your leg lazily over his as he stares at the screen, punches a few keys, then backspaces, eyes darting around the page. he groans lightly in frustration before laying his head back on the couch, closing his tired eyes. you pat his arm gently in support as you go back to scrolling through twitter, and a few moments later you hear michael quietly mutter “wait” and you look up to see his eyes brighter, a light smile on his face and fingers flying across the keys, lines adding to the page as fast as you could read them. michael tended to hold his breath when writing something he loved, and you see his chest wasn’t moving so you laugh and say “michael, baby breathe,” and he turns to you with a big smile before biting his lip and saying “sorry i just, i finally figured it out,” before returning back to his keyboard and writing for hours more with you by his side.
