I thought this would be rlly cool to do !! The reader & Michael in this got together around Bad era , & split up not too long before these events. I rlly love this song a lot ! Angst attempted !!
Michael finds himself digging through old home videos, picking every last one of them up and watching them with a smile on his face. His newest album Invincible isn't selling so well, due to the lack of promotion, so he's trying to find something better to do than to dwell on that fact.
After watching and laughing at a video of his son Prince, he reached back into the box and pulled out another recording at random. He set it in the TV, waiting for it to play.
His happy grin instantly disappeared as soon as he saw what was on the tape. It was you.
"Michael... what are you doing?" You'd laughed, gently pushing the camera away from yourself. He heard his own voice from the other end of the camera, "I can't record my favourite girl?" He laughed as well.
Michael had watched through the whole tape, his expression going neutral as his eyes bore through your face despite only being pixels. You were just so beautiful.
He ended up going through the rest of the tapes, discarding any of the ones that didn't have you on it. He spent the rest of his afternoon just watching videos of you. He missed you so much, but he knew that he was the reason why you'd left.
He should've been over it, it's been years since you'd both split... why did it still hurt him so much?
Michael always liked to think of you as the one that got away. The girl he'd fallen for, deeply and entirely. He'd loved every part of you, from your head to your toes, from your soul to your heart, he'd found everything about you just perfect. Ultimately he was at fault for the break up, but that didn't mean he didn't still yearn for your presence. At night, he swears he can still feel the ghost of your warmth next to him.
With every tape of you he'd watch, his eyes focused on every detail the old camera was actually able to pick up. The curve of your nose, your lips, the young shine in your eyes that he hadn't seen in far too long. He wasn't even listening to the words you'd spoke, or the reason he'd been recording you, he just watched. He yearned for you.
His original goal of getting his mind off of bad things had only backfired on him, it seemed.
You'd been there for him through thick and thin, ever since he'd released his album Thriller all until just before releasing his Invincible album. You'd been there for him through so much...
His neutral & observant expression slowly crumbled, his fingers starting to twitch and his hands started to shake as it dawned on him just on what he'd lost. He'd lost his other half, and it was by his own doing.
Michael held his face in his hands, feeling the tears start to flow. His ears picked back up as he heard your voice on the TV again.
idea cred: my amazing friend rey <3 @wh1msycle I <3 you !
Upcoming series from me !
I rlly want to make a series , and with the help of my dearest friend rey, I've got a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do !
summary: Michael was sent down from Heaven secretly to try to help the Earth, whilst the reader was sent from Hell to try to stop him.
This may include some of my religious views , such as the existence of God, but I do not like to force it on others ! If you belong to a different religion , that's entirely okay, and consider this storyline just for the plot!
Ughhh writers blockkk 😭 I haven't been getting much done at all and I apologize over and over for that !! I'm losing motivation :(( I promise something is coming soon , even if it might not be the series I'm working on ,,, 😓
