michael kaiser is not the type of person who will show his vulnerability. he's arrogant and a narcissist. he loves no one but himself. he doesn't have enough love for someone— that's what he believes. then, you came along.
michael doesn't know how to describe it— it was as if something was pouring honey on his tongue. it's overwhelming. it's sweet.
and it stings. your love makes his mouth and tongue stings. like cinnamon spice. something he cannot stop biting and tasting. it's addicting. like you.
to michael kaiser, such vulnerability is pathetic and unnecessary. he doesn't want to feel vulnerable. it makes him feel... small and weak. it makes him remember the things he endured when he was a kid.
but with your love, you make it disappear. you see the hurt— the fear— him. and you caress it so gently, his heart feels like it's burning. 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨, he thinks to himself.
when you say ‘i love you’, michael kaiser believes it with his whole heart. that somehow, despite his rough edges, he's deserving of something. something that won't hurt him. something that is gentle.
when he plays soccer on the field, he doesn't search for the cheering of the crowd. he searches for your face. to remind himself that you're not going anywhere.
to remind himself that someone out there loves and believes in him wholeheartedly.
your love is something he craves. something he keeps searching for. something he needs. something he's wishing for. to michael kaiser, your love is a mix of warm honey and cinnamon; sweet, slow, nourishing, spicy, and woody.
it leaves an aftertaste in his mouth, carving it into his taste buds and embedding the taste in his mind. strong, and yet gentle, like waves crashing against the shore. refreshing like orange juice on a hot summer night. bruising like peach falling from a tree. sweet and ripe, the type to rot teeth.
gosh. michael kaiser isn't vulnerable. but with you, he is.
