#5 Michael Clifford- Golden Suit
You had your sunglasses pushed as far up your nose as you could get them and were adjusting your hair to hide as much of your face as possible when you saw the T-shirt. Your colorful, smiling face a stark contrast to the black background of the shirt itself. Before you knew it you were calling after the person in the shirt
He stopped abruptly as if annoyed and turned to look at you. His eyes went wide with recognition and he subconsciously covered his shirt with his hand.
"Oh my god you're Michael Clifford!" And suddenly you were subconsciously covering your own shirt with your hand.
"And you're Y/N Y/L/N! You have my face on your shirt..."
"You have my face on yours too so we're even on the fangirl level of creepiness."
His laugh made you smile. You started the day hoping you wouldn't be recognized and you would have succeeded if you didn't recognize yourself. You're glad you did though because you met Michael. You probably would have eventually with you both being celebrities but you're glad it was in a casual setting.
You didn't even consider the possibility of falling in love with Michael until it was too late. Every date, every late night conversation, every kiss, drove you farther and farther over the edge.
My hands were shaking when I opened the door to Y/N's apartment. 'Why is Chicago so cold?' I thought to myself. 'Or maybe it's just my nerves?'
"Oh my god! Michael? What the hell? You scared me half to death!"
I turned to see Y/N standing in the doorway to the kitchen with a script rolled up in her hand. "Were you planning on using that to beat the shit out of whoever broke into your house?"
"If I had to yes! What are you doing here I thought you we're in LA?"
"I was but your producer asked me to make an appearance in an episode of your show." I dropped my bag at my feet and closed the door. "I wanted to surprise you."
She pushed a deep breath out of her mouth. "Well shit come here you near killed me I need a kiss."
I couldn't help the smile the spread across my face.
"No that kiss wasn't good enough. I almost died you'll have to keep trying until I feel better." She said and chuckled at herself.
You have to admit it was a little strange seeing your boyfriend around set next day. You weren't complaining but it was still weird. He was playing the part of a jealous ex boyfriend trying to get you back. You didn't really see much of him while you were filming other parts of the show but every once in a while you'd see him whispering with a producer and camera man or the other actors on set.
When his scene finally came up you gave him a kiss for good luck and slipped into your role as Jennifer Jacobson or JJ for short.
"Freddy what are you talking about? I would never do that to you." You laid an extra emphasis on the word never and put your hand on the side of your co-stars face. He jerked his head away and there was a knock on the door.
You had to look sad and you nearly broke character when you opened the door to your "house" and saw Mikey standing there in a suit. The camera couldn't see your eyes but they were wide with shock from seeing Michael your Michael in a suit. Of all things a golden suit.
"Michael?!" You asked sounding flabbergasted.
"Who the hell is this?" Michael asked brushing past you into your living room.
"I'm her boyfriend who the hell are you?" Your co-star/onscreen boyfriend said angrily.
"I'm her boyfriend." Michael turned toward the audience and flashed his mischievous grin. In return the audience cheered.
Your onscreen boyfriend looked hurt and pissed at the same time. "EX boyfriend! He's my ex boyfriend. We broke up two years ago."
Michael circled around you and your acting boyfriend. "Actually she broke up with me." He stopped in between you. "She broke up with me to go out with you."
"I see why. Who wants to date someone that wears a gold suit and has a solid gold eyebrow ring? It's tacky."
Michael feigned being hurt by his words. "It's not just solid gold. It also has a diamond."
"It doesn't matter she's is with me now!"
You didn't notice the other actors on the show we're quietly gathering behind you.
"Come on JJ lets get out of here." Your hand was taken by your onscreen boyfriend and you turned to walk out the way Michael came in. You stopped when you saw your fellow cast members smiling at you. Co-star released your hand and Michael grabbed your other hand and pulled you back to face him. This time he was on one knee.
"Y/N Y/L/N when I first met you you flagged me down because of my shirt." He chuckled. "And when I saw that you were you and I had your face on my shirt I inwardly freaked. I was having a fanboy moment and then I saw my face on your shirt and I really had a fanboy moment."
You knew what was coming and you tried to blink away the tears that threatened to cascade down your cheeks but he continued. "I am honestly the luckiest man on the planet to have worn your face that day because I met you and fell so hard." He gave you your hand back so he could reach into his pocket and open a small velvet box. "You are the highlight to my days, you are my never ending love, and you are the most beautiful woman I know inside and out. Would you Y/N Y/L/N do me a huge favor and make me the luckiest man in the world by being my wife?"
The entire studio was so silent you could hear a pen drop. It felt like forever that you were standing there. You dropped to your knees and threw your arms around Michael's neck.
You were sobbing and could only nod your head. The audience cheered and your cast mates crowded around you in a big group hug. When you stopped sobbing you wiped your face and Michael gently took your hand and slid the ring on your ring finger.
"I am so madly in love with you." You said.
He smiled a big smile and said, "Not as madly as I am with you."
