Shaine

The second you started scratching lightly at his scalp, Michael's eyes closed.

A content sigh escaped him.

"Mmh right there mama.."

You smiled immediately. "Where baby?"

"Mmh..." His head tilted slightly into your hand. "There." Your heart melted.

You loved how comfortable he was with you. How he never hid when he wanted affection.

How he trusted you with every soft part of himself. You carefully combed your fingers through his hair again. Michael practically melted beneath your touch.

"Mmh...that feels so good." he murmured.

Then his hand found yours. Not to stop you.

Just to hold it.

His fingers slipped around your wrist gently, guiding your hand a little higher into his curls. "Right there, baby." You laughed softly.

"Oh, you bossy." His eyes remained closed.

A smile tugged at his mouth. "M'not bossy, baby."

"You absolutely are." You clapped back.

"Mmh..." He sounded far too relaxed to argue properly. Your nails lightly scratched through his curls again.

then again, he mumbles—"There."

A pleased sigh. "That's nice." You couldn't stop smiling.

to be honest, you could sit here forever. Michael's thumb slowly brushed across your hand while it rested in his hair, Back and forth.

Absent minded Affectionate. Like he couldn't help touching you whenever you were near. His eyes opened slightly.

Just enough to look up at you.

And ugh.

That Beautiful look, That Completely in love look.

You leaned down and kissed his forehead. Michael's smile deepened instantly. Then you kissed his cheek. Then the tip of his nose. Which made him laugh quietly.

"Hey baby."

You laughed too. "Hi, baby." He looked entirely pleased hearing that.

His fingers intertwined briefly with yours before placing your hand right back where he wanted it.. In his curls.

"Mama." You brushed a curl away from his forehead.

"Yeah?"

"I love you." The words came so naturally.

So simply.. Like breathing.

Your chest squeezed.You leaned down and kissed him again.

Very Slow and Sweet.

The kind of kiss that made Michael smile halfway through it. When you pulled away, his hand immediately found your cheek.

Just holding it there for a second. Looking at you. Really admiring you, Like he never got tired of it. "I love you too." Michael's expression softened even more.

If that was even possible.Then he settled back into your lap again, completely content.

Your fingers returned to his curls.

few seconds later—"Mmh..." His eyes fluttered closed.

"There, baby." Your nails lightly scratched against his scalp, Another satisfied sigh escaped him.

His thumb continued stroking the back of your hand while he relaxed beneath you.

Not saying much now. Just enjoying you.

The kisses & the touches & The comfort of being together.

After a while, he lifted your hand from his hair long enough to press a gentle kiss against your knuckles.Then another.. Then he tucked it against his chest. Holding it there.

"Mama."

"Hm?" You laugh quietly.

A sleepy smile appeared on his face."You take real good care of me." Your heart nearly burst.

You bent down and kissed his forehead once more.

And Michael smiled without even opening his eyes, perfectly happy right where he was.
