nsfw / fem afab reader, cws for voyeuristic themes & dubcon(?) ) âââââââthinking about your good friend janet jackson who, upon realizing that you donât have any plans for the summer, invites you to come with her to a resort. âitâll be a cute little girlsâ trip. câmon,â she coaxed you over the phone. just by hearing her tone, you could tell she was smiling on the other end. âitâll be fun, i promise.â
thinking about how janet would insist on you two sharing a room because itâs cheaper. thinking about how she feigns surprise when thereâs only one bed, shrugging shortly afterwards and murmuring about clearing it up right away. for some reason, the bed situation never gets fixed; you end up sleeping with janet for the entirety of your stay.
thinking about how sheâd encourage you to do all sorts of tacky resort activities with her. âletâs go see their show!â sheâll suggest, pointing to a nearby poster, âooh, and we can go for drinks after. they have this fruity drink in this big glass, iâm just dying to try it. youâll try it with me, right?â of course, janet bats her lashes and purses her lip into a subtle pout whenever you seem hesitant. you humor her more often than you donât.
thinking about how sheâd take pictures with you everywhere. she carries her mini-camera like itâs her ID. âsmile!â she beams as she takes yet another photo. âthis one looks hot,â she remarks, âthe sun looks so good on us, see?â oh, just know thereâs a photo album at home dedicated to you and her. âbest friends foreverâ is in there somewhere, surrounded by a bunch of hearts.
thinking about her covering you with a towel whenever she notices guys leering at you. sheâll wrap it around your shoulders or waist before you can even process the fact that men are taking you in. âmen can be such dogs,â janet complains under her breath, rolling her eyes, âignore them.â
but most of all, iâm thinking about that one day towards the end of the trip where janet rents out a small, nearby beach because she âdoesnât want to deal with peopleâ. she hums softly as she slathers sunscreen on herself. then, she watches as you do the same. naturally, you both get each otherâs backs. then comes the fun. or, at least, janet thought the fun would follow.
âwhat do you mean youâre not gonna swim?â she asks indignantly, her hands on her hips, âi rented out this whole beach!â
âi want to tan, janet,â you reply, laying down along a beach chair. you reach into your bag and pull out a book, âit never hurts to even out your skin tone.â
âi donât care about that,â she snaps, letting her more childish side show. itâs moments like these where itâs clear that sheâs the youngest of the jacksons. âthe beach is for playing in the water more than tanning. i wanted to have fun with you, this is our one girlsâ trip before things get busy again.â
you open your book. âwe can still have fun on the sand.â
saying that was a huge mistake. you can tell from the moment she gets quiet. after a few seconds, you glance up over the bookâs pages, only to notice that janetâs in the middle of crawling onto you. when you sit up, she gently pushes you back down, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
âwhat are you doing?â you ask, raising an eyebrow.
âhaving fun,â she replies. she lets one foot rest on either side of you as she settles on top. it would be a full squat if she hovered; instead, she lets her pelvis rest on top of yours, the triangle bottoms of your bikinis meeting. âyou donât mind, right? i mean, if we can share a bed, certainly we can share thisâŠâ she slides herself forward, letting her body drag against yours, âa different kind of fun, but still⊠fun.â
you blink once or twice, setting your book down as she starts to roll her hips. it sparks an unexpected heat in you, one strong enough for you to pause and let out a quiet exhale. âyeah? the kind of fun friends have all the time, right?â you manage to spit out sarcastically, shifting to give her more access to you.
âexactly,â she coos, ârelax. youâll still get your tan.â reaching down, janet walks her fingers up to your bikini top, holding onto it like a reign as she rides against you. âi always thought you were just so pretty,â she muses, âiâm glad weâre such close friends.â
âis that right?â your eyes go half-lidded, your mouth running dry. through your bikini bottom you can feel everything. you swear you feel the outline of her pussy lips as she ruts against you. slowly, you bring your hands to her hips, holding onto her. âi think youâre pretty, too, janet.â pretty and talentedâ now you know where she gets the motivation to sing those âbaby makingâ songs.
âyouâre gonna make me blush,â she breathes out, chuckling a little. after a while, she speeds up, playfully asking, âfeels good, doesnât it?â thereâs little shame in how she presses herself against you. why would there be? itâs not like anyone will see, thanks to her renting the beach out. when you donât reply, she tilts her head to the left, bringing her hips back to fully thrust against your now sensitive pussy. âyou know, itâs rude not to respond,â she murmurs, âvery rude.â
âjanet,â you whine, only to gasp when you feel her pelvis slam against yours. your body rocks, moving back and then forth from the impact. âfuck! it feels good, it feels good.â
she watches your face, soaking in how youâve started to sweat, how your eyes are all hazy, and how you keep biting your lip. âthen come,â she demands. her hand lets go of your bikini top, sliding to press against your lower stomach. suddenly, janet takes it seriously, staring down at you as she purposefully grinds her clit against yours at that perfect angle. the bikini bottoms on you both do nothing to shield you from the sensation of her body against yours, that friction quickly adding fuel to the fire flowing through your body. a grunt leaves her lips before she goes on, âcome, come for me, come right now.â
whimpering, your hips start to buck, desperate for friction. âiâm going toâ ah, ahhââ your legs tremble as your orgasm rushes through you, the force of it causing you to moan out janetâs name. your eyes screw themselves shut, forcing you to miss janetâs orgasm (an orgasm thatâs just as intense as your own, though she smiles through it, thoroughly pleased). even after the first burst, your pussy pulses, causing more cum to leak out of you and pool into your g-string. spent, you crumple beneath her, panting hard like a dog out in the sun.
âatta girl,â she purrs as you both come down from the high, laying down on top of you as if she belonged there. maybe she does, now. her head rests along your breasts, her hands idly roaming your body. âthis was better than swimming anyways,â she decides under her breath, âmuch better.â
authorâs note ) âââââââthat moment when ur best friend crawls on top of you and lwk starts humping but ur lwk down so u just dryhump on the beach w bikinis on or whatever. we all have that one girl bsf weâd scissor ok? anyways, happy pride⊠janet has always given me such brat vibes, regardless of top/bottom, i hope i captured that well here. she radiates such strong bsf to lovers vibes itâs insane⊠lover her smâŠ

âŠ..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.Â
we're coming onto 17 years now that michael has been gone, and people simply just can't keep his name out of their filthy mouths. this man has been proven innocent TIME after fucking TIME & yet you still have the decency to say "you decide." ??? bitch dont play. in all honesty, if michael truly was such a terrible human being don't you think he'd still be alive? the elites give up their fucking arms and legs to protect the disgusting people of this world, so if that was the case with michael, why is he not alive and well?
& the fact people still make jokes about the allegations, whether they believe them or not, is disgusting. you have been desensitized to horrid criminality so you joke to make yourself feel better.
what i'm trying to say is that, you know damn well a dead person cannot defend themselves. and that is exactly why we are seeing through your cheap bullshit. "yeah we have tons of court evidence but let's wait 17 years to discuss it. oh and let's put it out right at the time people start to indulge in his innocence again." these people are fucking pathetic. and still, nobody who was around michael wants to speak out for his innocence. yk why? because he was killed by elites, and if these other celebrities speak out they know their lives are at risk too. which is still not a fucking excuse.
F.U.C.K. the press, michael you're the best. FUCK bashir, FUCK netflix & FUCK this documentary.
basically all my moots have seen a least part of this fanficđ,, i hope you all enjoy it. i love so many of my moots down BADđ«¶đŸ
inspired by me misreading @eomjs 's fic & thinking Michael spanked the reader in public,, so i thought why not write it. also shoutout to @femalekanye my new evil twin

Truth be told, you couldn't remember what was the final straw. Maybe it was the way Diana had been circling the two of you like a damn vulture for half the night. Silently plotting on how to get your boyfriend away from you. Your relationship was still fresh, it had only been a couple of months & you knew Diana was going to be determined to test your relationship's boundaries tonight.
You and Michael has already discussed this beforehand, you both weren't going to pay her any attention. Light & polite conversation, that's what he told you. Only it seems like one of you didn't get the memo. You get it, you'd be mad too if you were an old hag who fumbled the king of pop. Michael guided you to a group of colleagues, introducing you to everyone. It was like you all clicked instantly, a conversation about the upcoming music awards flowed naturally
You eventually excused yourself from the group, kissing Michael's cheek before you stepped away to use the bathroom. Once she saw you walking away she made her move, somehow wiggling her way into the conversation he was having. She was practically throwing herself at him by the time you came back. Laughing at his jokes like a damn hyena, one arm wrapped around his shoulders as if he came with her that night. Michael was gracious about it, politely moving her hand away and wrapping up the conversation.Â
As lovely as it was your boyfriend was trying to take the high road after this pig has toyed with his emotions for years. You weren't so nice. You calmly walked to the desert table, picking up a slice of pre-cut cake before you locked eyes with her. She was seemingly none the wiser as you took in the genuine shock on her face that she couldn't get him to crumble like he'd done in the past. You beeline towards her, glancing back at Michael to make sure he's still preoccupied talking to Q.Â
Your heels clicked as you raced over to her, the next few moments were a blur honestly. You smeared the cake all over her face and gown. Dodging her attempt to drag you closer a small giggle leaving your mouth as you did so, "if she wants a fight, she can get a damn brawl" you thought to yourself as you made your move. Your hand shot out with terrifying speed, your fist colliding with Diana's over blushed cheek made sharp, sickening crack. The sound echoed drawing the attention of everyone in the room, including Michael.
Luckily, he was on the other side of the room so you had time to get a few more licks in before he could reach you. You watched as she reeled back, stumbling as her head whipped to the side, blood dripping from her mouth as she looked up at you. You could practically see the stars dancing in her vision.
You essentially tackle her, pushing her down to the grown before you straddle her as best as you can in your gown. Your knees pinned her arms down as you rained down punches. The dull thud of fists on skin filled the air, with each strike you could see Michael moving closer and closer. He pulled you off her, keeping you close to his chest as the other partygoers helped her up.
"Are you okay baby?" He asked
You nodded your head, "I'm fine, just a couple of scratches."
He looked you over as some of the other guests helped Diana stand up. She was covered in cake, her hair looked like a rat's nest now and there was blood leaking like a faucet from her lips. She looked every bit of the damn fool she was, you couldn't help but feel some type of smug satisfaction looking at the damage you inflicted as they took her away to clean her up. Michael walked over, checking her over to make sure she was okay before he apologized for your actions.
Any look of satisfaction you had was quickly wiped away when Michael walked back over to you looking pissed. It was hard to get him riled up most days but you definitely succeeded tonight.
"She told me you started the fight. What happened to taking the high road? You decided it would be better to get into a brawl in the middle of a party?"
"I did start it. But you didn't see the way she was moving she was all over you angel." You said in poor attempts to defending yourself. Tilting your voice as you looked up at him with eyes. Your bottom lip jutting out slightly, making you look every bit of the best you were.
"Your outfit is ruined. You mean to tell me you decided to act like a spoiled brat over a situation that already ended?"
"She should've never put her hands on you... I'm not sorry." you huffed out as you crossed your arms
"Oh really?" Michael said softly
You stilled for a moment, opening your mouth to backtrack because you knew what that tone meant. It meant you were about to have trouble sitting down comfortably for the next few days. He brushed off your half-hearted attempts to apologize, leading you to one of the private sections.Â
He closed the velvet curtain behind him, essentially blocking the rest of the partygoers from looking in as he made his way over to the emerald couch. He sat down before patting his lap expectantly.
"Mikey! We're in public." You whined desperate to make one last ditch effort to get out of this to no avail. You hesitated and took several minutes to step closer to the couch. Michael reached forward and clasped a hand around your wrist, pulling you down and over his thighs. Your toes could barely touch the floor once you were bent over. Michael maneuvered you easily over his lap. Your heart was pounding in your chest as Michael spoke again.
"I know sweetheart." He mumbled as he hiked your dress up, "And that didn't stop you from starting a fight so why would it stop your punishment?"
It was if your brain short-circuited hearing that. You started whimpering out half hearted pleads as he rubbed your clothes cheeks soothingly. He grabbed each side of the lacey material bunching it up between your cheeks to give him more surface area. He kissed the back of your head, "You ready?"Â
Michael starts off with a slow rhythm of spanks to your bare cheeks. Each spank stings and burns but you just bite your lip, determined to bear it stoically. You were still being stubborn about the fight, but you also didn't want him to notice how aroused you were by this. You can't help but start to shift your hips as a fire starts to burn in your backside and in your loins. Hips bucking subtly as you tried to get off on his lap in between swats. Layers of heat begin to build and overlap as the spanking continues.Â
"You know when the fight first broke out I thought Diana had come after you? I felt so guilty for binging you here, I was ready to apologize and beg for forgiveness until I talked to her and found out it started when you covered her cake." Michael explained, punctuating each word with a smack to your heated backside. Ignoring the way your legs kicked out aimlessly as you bite back your tears.
"I just couldn't believe it, there was no way my girl would do something like that after we talked about taking the high road. So imagine my surprise when I ask you and you casually confirm it like we hadn't had that talk at all."Â
You felt your resolve start to crumble as you listened to him. You never considered Michael would think she attacked you first. Still you couldn't help but feel your pussy start to throb being referred to as his girl. You could feel your wetness coat the gusset of your panties. He rained down the last round of spanks as the floodgates opened. They were practically molded to your lips by the time he was finished with you. He lifted you up careful of your throbbing ass as he turned you right side up, pulling your dress back down before he enveloped you in a warm cocoon. Rubbing your back as you turned and buried your face in Michael's neck.
"I'm sorry daddy."
"Yeah? You gonna be my good girl now?" He asked teasingly. He smiled softly as he felt you nod your head against his neck.
His fingers trailed down your back, moving your dress out of the way to palm your ass. His hand moving lower and lower until he brushed against the wet patch of your panties. He brushed his fingertips over your clothes clit teasingly, quickly moving to the inside of your thighs. Massaging at the surrounding skin.
Then eventually, he put exactly one finger onto your pussy moving it in and out slowly. He chuckled softly at your pleads for him to go faster. Eventually he pulled his finger out completely, ignoring your whines as he laid you down on the couch. He pulled your soaked panties to the side before he lowered his head and dragged the flat of his tongue from clit to entrance in one long, shameless stroke. Practically drinking up each sound that left your lips as he continued to lick.
He sealed his mouth over your entire cunt and sucked. His movements were slow and greedy, like he was trying to pull your soul out through your clit. His tongue flicked mercilessly over the hood, then dipped lower to spear inside, fucking in messy, eager thrusts while his nose nudged relentlessly against the oversensitive bud.
He ate like a man possessed, burying his nose into your cunt as he ate you out, not caring about the plethora of sloppy, loud, slurping noises that filled the room. His tongue curled against that spot inside that made your feet curl forced helpless little sobs from your mouth. You bucked up into his mouth, squirming and gripping onto the couch as you got closer and closer.
Your cunt clamped down hard, it pulsed and gushed slick in waves that Michael drank greedily. Groans falling from his lips as if it was the best thing heâd ever tasted. He worked you through it, his tongue moving slower until you were whimpering from overstimulation, thighs quivering uncontrollably.Â
The bottom of his face was soaked when he was through with you. He wiped his face with the back of his hand. Pulling your panties back in place before he helped you up. The fact that you were still in public dawned on both of you. You pulled down your dress, trying to fix yourself up before you had to make the walk of shame to the car.
"Mikey! What if they heard us?!"Â
"I don't think there's any way they didn't, at least the next thing the tabloids write will be the truth."Â Michael said teasingly as he walked you the party. Both of you ignoring the stairs as you climbed into the car.
"You kids have fun?" Bill asked
"Something like that."

i just wanna say i love you little blueberry emojis is so cutie
âËâč AWW TYSM,, so many ppl have been messaging me lately about that. i didn't realize it would be so recognizable lol. i just really thought the emoji was cute so i started using it for aesthetic purposes but now i just feel like it's apart of my "brand". it's even my favorite emoji now :)
Omggg that Janet fic was so good!! Iâm rlly sad that ppl donât write that much about her. Plsss do a second part where her brothers see the mark! đ€€đ€€đđ
âËâč WAIT,, ur lowkey cooking anon. i hadn't considered writing about her brothers seeing the markđ€ i might have to make part 2 about that instead of my original idea. thank you so much for the suggestion,, you'll likely see it soon in the future!!
Pls I ask of you to do a Latoya fic I need this now !!!!
âËâč hey! so unfortunately i don't really think i know enough about latoya to really write fanfics for her. it's just something i don't feel comfortable with so i only really know her as micheal's sister. but i hope you're able to find someone who writes for her! đ«¶đŸ
Janet's lips travelled across your soft skin, covering each segment with tender kisses. The softness behind her kisses was far from how she wanted to treat you after the stunt you pulled today but she'd make sure you get what's coming to you. She kissed you as if that was all she knew how to do in the world, mapping every inch of your skin with her mouth. It wasnât long before you both were completely in the nude.
"you can't do this with michael can you?" she whispered in your ear as she tugged you closer to her. Any playfulness her tone usually carried wiped away, she had been trying to get you to herself for the past hour. As soon as you came over her brother swept you away, claiming he wanted your opinion on some lyrics.
Janet would never say she was jealous of when you paid her brothers any mind, her actions spoke loud enough. She knew you knew who you belonged to, but something about seeing you with Michael got under her skin. She decided you needed a more permanent reminder of who you belonged to. Something that would stick just in case her brother got to you again before she did.
She smirked softly as she took in your shy demeanor as you moved into her lap, acting as if you humping her like a needy puppy wasn't a regular occurrence whenever you came over. Watching you shedding any lingering sense of shame as your sensitive clit came in contact with her thigh. She gripped your hips to help set the pace as you begin to sway. Your hips move slowly back and forth, your breath quickening with each movement.
She loved watching you ride her, but her mind couldn't help but wander back to when her brother had snatched you away. She couldn't help thinking about giving you a more physical reminder you were hers. She moved a hand to her own slit, pleasuring herself as her other hand moved up your body.
Fingertips brushing over your stomach before she settles on your chest. She traced her thumb over your skin. Watching as you start to rut against her faster, breathy little moans falling our of your mouth as you take advantage of this rare treat. It's not often she doesn't control the pace you move at.
She leaned down and sank her teeth into your shoulder, exactly where the muscle meets the neck. She drank in your gasp as you registered what was happening. Your noises egging her on as she bit down hard, feeling your hot blood that pulsed beneath your skin under her tongue. She didn't let go instead she moved her had to quickly cup your mouth. Her family was still home, and your noises were for her and her alone. Hearing your muffled screams would have to do for now.
If she didn't like you spending time with her brothers she shouldn't wouldn't like them getting an eyeful of you after hearing you scream thinking you're in danger.
She sucked the bruised skin as you squirmed against her, biting it again and again until all the anger she felt from earlier stopped rushing through her veins. She vaguely registered your little whimpered out pleas. Begging for her to stop as you kept grinding against her. Reaching your peaks together as she tasted that metallic flavor on her tongue she was craving.
You went limp against her, head resting on her shoulder as she finally pulled away. On your shoulder was a physical manifestation or her possessiveness over you. A blotchy purple bruise with the indents of Janet's teeth. If you looked close enough you could see a few tiny drops of blood dripping, the deep garnet color popping against your skin.
"You look so pretty now baby. Everyone will know you're mine now." She mumbled and she laid you down on the bed, immediately laying down next to you. She practically pulled you on top of her as she lapped up the blood that was speckled on your skin. She kissed you one last time before she turned the lamp off, ignoring your protests about needing to go home as she curled up against you.
"Don't you see this mark? You're mine for real now, don't worry your pretty little head about going home right now." Janet mumbled into your neck before adding on, "Should be thinkin' about how you're gonna cover that up, it's the middle of July baby."
a/n: happy pride month đŠ đŠ !! double the love for any fellow pansexual baddies reading thisđ«¶đŸ i thought about all the possessive bsf!micheal love and thought what if...

otw! michael jackson x đem! black reader â± fluff â± established relationship â± drabble
Era: off the wall
Summary: After watching you detangle your hair, Michael asks you to help him work his ever so abundant curls.
Tags: fluff, black hair care, michael is inexperienced with taking care of his hair (reader helps him tho), reader is intended to hair 4c hair (bc i have 4c hair), michael calls reader âbabyâ and âmamaâ (bc I SAID SO), reader calls michael âmikeyâ and âbabyâ, michael ragebaiting reader lol
Word count: 548
Michael laid across your bed, silence echoing across your apartment. You sat at your vanity, brushes, combs, and small jars of hair moisturizer scattered across the table. A small detangling brush in your hair, working through the kinks of your hair. Detangling, brushing, and styling. A simple process youâve grown accustomed to. Your hand moving from grasping your hair to scooping small finger-fulls of moisturizing cream and massaging it into your curls. He admired how your hands worked the brush through each tangle and knot, barely even wincing at the light tugging.
âBaby, how do you do that?â He asked one time.
You looked back at him, brushed in hand. âDo what?â
âDetangle your hair without it hurting, it always hurts when I do it myself.â
You put down your brush, ushering him over towards you, âI can show you if you want.â Michael immediately obliged, rolling off the bed, and walking over to sit in between your legs. Back against the legs of the chair.
âOkay, first you need to dampen your hair.â You grabbed a spray bottle and spritzed the water onto his hair, wetting it evenly. Michael flinched at the cold water dusting his scalp and the back of his neck, but relaxed as you gently rubbed his shoulder, comfortingly.
You dipped your fingers in the moisturizer jar, rubbing your hands together before working it into Michaelâs hair. âThen, put a moisturizer in your hair to make the brush pass through easier.â You then started gently parting each new moisturized bunch of hair into 8 neat sections, moving them of the way with scrunchies. âAfter you section your hair, detangle it with your fingers first. It gets the bigger knots out first.â Michael listened closely as he felt your fingers gently pass through his hair, weaving out any large knots, and tangles.
âNow for the big guns.â You say, your tone playful as you pick up the detangling brush. You started to bring it close to Michaelâs hair, but you were interrupted by an ever so dramatic scream. You paused, looking at Michael, who was trying not to giggle. You reached over again, another scream. You put the brush down and reached your hand over, another scream.
âMikey stop playing!â You say, spraying him in the face with the spray bottle as punishment, earning a laugh out of your (now soaked) boyfriend. âIâm just messing with you, mama-â Michael started, but was cut off by your continuous spraying. âStop! Stop! Iâm getting soaked, baby!â Michael pleaded, still laughing loudly.
You pulled him back against the chair, grabbing the brush again. âOkay, now be still.â You said firmly, a hint a playfulness still in your tone, as you started to brush his hair, from the tip to the roots. Despite your attempts to act stern, whenever Michael flinched, you immediately rubbed his shoulder gently while kissing his temple.
After detangling all 8 sections, you ran your fingers through his newly detangled hair. âAll done, Mikey. Here, take a look.â You handled Michael a handheld mirror. He stared into the reflection, gently touching the soft strands. âWoahâŠâ Michael stared into his reflection, running his fingers through his hair, not hitting any tangles along the way. You leaned down and kissed his cheek. âYou look so handsome baby.â

contains: thriller!era mike, semi-fluff, smut (minors dni), cunnilingus, edging, teasing, michael being a freak, michael being mean, michael keeping your panties bc again heâs a FREAK, proofread, uhhh first post whatâs up
If you enjoyed pls like n reblog!! Iâll do a part 2 if so :3
requests are heavily encouraged!
bestfriend!michael who youâve been by his side before everything got loud, before his name was in every conversation. You were easy to find whenever his world got too overwhelming, being brought back to a relaxed state from just your presence alone. Heâs been the same for you, always knowing when you need a distraction from your own problems simply from taking one look at you. Itâs a silent language you both speak.
bestfriend!michael who sometimes wonder what he did in his past life to be blessed with a best friend whoâs patience and understanding is out of this world, where you never argued when he couldnât squeeze hanging out with you in his already busy schedule. Itâll at times be weeks since the last time you saw him, but your guys bond is still held strong. His schedule is out of his control, you canât change that even if you tried. However, on days he canât visit, heâll never end the night without hitting up your line to chat about each otherâs days before sleep hits the both of you.
bestfriend!michael whoâs close friendship he had with you made you hear the same question be asked to you over the years.
âAre you guys anything more?â
You remember the first time hearing something similar, when you guys were only kids. Your older sibling teasing you, asking if thatâs your new boyfriend, and you still remember your reaction. You immediately shook your head with a grossed out expression, responding with giggles: âNo, never!â
Now? You donât know if you can say the same answer.
Over time, you felt your eyes lingering a little longer than necessary. Heading into your guysâ early 20s, you started to notice things that undoubtedly left your cheeks flushed. When did his mindless touches to your shoulders, hands on waist to move past you, or ruffling your hair to be an ass leave you holding your breath? When did him sitting next to you during your guys many movie nights at home have you fighting the urge to scoot a little closer, so close your fingertips would graze his resting on the cushions, longing for his touch?
When did your eyes had a mind of its own as it traveled down to his soft lips as he spoke to you, thinking of what it would feel like if you closed the distance between his and yours?
And when are you going to start to realize heâs been having those same thoughts about you as well?
bestfriend!michael who for the past few weeks has been driving you crazier than you would like to admit. Thereâs been a shift in your guysâ dynamic, starting to pick up hidden intentions in Michaelâs actions and words.
A swipe of his thumb to get rid of a crumb sticking too close to your lip when you guys grabbed lunch, ignoring the fact that there are plenty of napkins to instead offer on the table.
Catching his eyes on you through the living room mirror youâre using to fix up your appearance, not missing the way they check every curve on your body as quick as he thinks heâs being.
Being Invited to join him during an event, a fun first time experience for you that heâll happily make happen. You missed the way his breath caught in his throat when you came down the steps after an hour of getting ready, your gussied up appearance a sight heâs never seen before until now. You caught yourself at a nearby mirror and overthinking thoughts started to flood your mind, asking out loud to yourself if you should change something up about your hair or wear a completely different dress.
âYou look gorgeous.â
You slowly peered over your shoulder, how naturally the compliment rolled off his tongue like heâs been meaning to say it for the past few minutes. Heâs quick to play it off after how you reacted, rolling his eyes. âIs that what you wanted to hear? Now câmon, weâre gonna be late.â
Heâs testing that best friend label you guys have, and he isnât careful anymore about it. Now heâs just waiting when youâll join in.
bestfriend!michael who sits at his desk, writing lyrics for his new album the second it comes to him and crumbling up any that doesnât sit right with him anymore. Doesnât matter he just got back from the studio almost an hour ago, back to working in his room as his mind is still racing with ideas that could or could not work. He isnât alone, you sitting on the bed as his company for the night. You insisted on coming over, not caring to hear how heâll still be working and it would be boring to stick around, to visit another time.
Michael places a few papers onto the bed without ever looking. âTell me your thoughts on those.â You go to pick them up, reading each line with a small smile on your face. It was your favorite how much Michael values your opinion on things he does in his life, being the first he comes to for advice. One of them being his lyricism, knowing you wonât hold back on your thoughts if they rhyme or if theyâre too cheesy.
One line made you giggle quietly, but he heard it nonetheless. He looks over, eyebrows knit together. âWhat?â
You shake your head, having your hand cover your smile that threatens to grow. âNothing, nothing, justâ âgirl I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try?ââ
âWhatâs wrong with it?â
âFind it hard to believe, is all.â It wasnât uncommon for you two to mess with one another, it comes with being best friends with anyone. Thatâs how you wouldâve excused your response, but it was a clear attempt to start something. Something that goes beyond being playful with one another.
He raises an eyebrow, standing up to snatch the papers out of your hand with a scoff. âOh yeah?â First butterfly to flutter in your stomach. âItâs okay, wasnât expecting you to, anyways.â He finishes saying with his back towards you again, stacking his papers all neatly.
âOh good, because weâd be here all day.â
You saw him stop stacking, perking his head up. He not only faced you again, but walked over till his knees bumped the edge of the bed.
You saw a glint in his eyes that made the butterfly in your stomach to flutter a second time.
âIf I didnât know any better, Iâd say youâre wanting me to prove you wrong.â
Oh, was it that obvious?
Your mouth went dry, staring up where Michael stands who doesnât even look like the best friend youâve grown up with. Someone who looks like theyâve been holding back their desires thatâs been getting too loud inside of them the second your guysâ closeness took a shift. Someone whoâs been clinging onto strength that gets thinner each passing day they set their eyes on you.
Someone whoâs been waiting for the other to grant them permission this entire time.
âIâd say prove me wrong, Mike.â
bestfriend!michael who for the past three minutes has his lips travel all across your skin besides where you want it to land the most, feeling his smile due to every squirm and whine you canât hold back.
He scatters the gentlest kisses down your neck, starting from a sensitive spot he discovered behind your ear, leaving nips in between then soothes it with his tongue. You had your neck craned to the side, giving him as much room as you could allow to paint your skin in hickeys like a blank canvas, hickeys you wonât find yourself worrying to conceal until the very next morning.
Until you squirmed again, lolling your head back forward to catch his lips with yours in another desperate attempt. He once again denies, a soft chuckle at your face screwing up in frustration.
âPlease, Mikey..â His nickname that youâve claimed for him since you were kids leaves your lips, and he couldnât help but to fully pull back with a more audible laugh, rubbing his thumb across your cheek.
He goes to lean in, having you believe heâll finally kiss you, but his lips just stops short from yours with a smile. âI hear ya, girl.â
Michael has the kisses go lower, and lower, immediately making you forget being mad at him again for denying your lips to meet. It travels down the valley of your chest, one of his hands bunching up the fabric of your shirt so it can smoothly continue down to your stomach. He revels in every shiver he pulls out of you, every squirm, every soft moan you try so hard to resist to but fail miserably. You didnât want to prove his point this quickly, too stubborn for your own good sometimes. And he knows this, so heâll spare you the embarrassment and wonât comment on your little noises until much later.
You feel a gentle tug at the waistband of your pants, but it was to only grab your attention. You pick your head up to meet his eyes, whoâre silently asking for permission. You nod, a little too eager, and he hooks his thumbs underneath to slide them all the way down.
You feel the cool air hit your damp panties, tinted pink rising to your cheeks at the realization settling in on how wet youâve been since this started, especially just from him kissing all over you. You see him bite the bottom of his lip, holding back a tease, starting to slowly disregard the cloth that loosely stands between him and your cunt.
You caught from your half-lidded eyes him pocketing the material, but you donât get a chance to comment as he lets his breath fan against your cunt, causing your hips to jerk up. He holds your legs open, fingers digging into your skin unapologetically.
He covers the inside of your thighs with bite marks, aiming to have you jump each time his teeth caught skin, then soothing the slight pain with his tongue. You truly couldnât wrap your head around in the situation youâre in right now, how this all unfolded with innocent banter. Or so youâd like to excuse it as being and nothing moreâŠ
You were barely given any time to grab a fistful of his hair the second he stopped the bites and pressed his mouth to your soaked cunt, grip on your thighs now bruising. A broad, heavy stripe is licked up the length of your cunt before he takes your clit into his mouth and rolls it hard between his lips.
Thereâs nothing slow in the way he devours you, a complete contrast to his kisses earlier before. Itâs seeping with hunger heâs been carrying for days, longtime yearning, and need. Every sound he makes against your cunt is shameless, has you tugging and gasping but he never relents for a second.
His tongue fucks into you, and you tried to chase for more, hips going to grind up into his mouth. However, he responds by tightening his hold, thumbs digging harder into your thighs to hold you down. Never giving you an inch of space to breathe, having you take every tight swirl of his tongue on your pearl, every deep suck that pulls cries from your throat you never thought you could make until now.
In the midst of his tongue working rough, precise strokes, his nose starts to nudge juust right against your clit that has your hand slip from his hair to now twist into the sheets. His eyes fluttered open to look at the way you let out a choked moan, legs trembling on either side of his head, and he knew what it did to you.
âFuck, youâreââ but the words barely formed as you get lost into another breathless gasp, Michael nudging his nose more firmly up against your clit with purpose this time.
The pleasure starts to blur into something more sharper, every muscle in your body seizing tight as the world narrows to the heat of his mouth, taking you to what you think will be the rush of your orgasm.
But it abruptly stopped. The heat of his mouth no longer swarming your cunt, instead met back with the coolness of the air. You snap your eyes open, hips still chasing for a feeling thatâs been long snatched away. You have yourself be propped up lazily with your elbows, greeted with a shit-eating grin you so badly wanted to slap right off of him.
âW-What is wrong with you?â You spatted, every nerve on your body feeling like itâs on fire from the intense edge you just had to endure.
Michael wipes your slick clean off from his mouth with the back of his hand, the calmness written all over his face in regards to your frustrated one almost laughable if anyone else were in the room.
âNow, what were your thoughts on that lyric again?â
âËâč to make a long story short, yes!! i was a little nervous posting this, but seeing the absurd lack of fics for janet has kinda pushed me out of my shell. i have another fic in the works right now that'll hopefully be a bit longer once I'm finished

massuse!janet helps you achieve your happy ending <3
massuse!janet who smirks every time you walk into her shop. you show up wearing a baseball cap and glasses as if trying to arrive in disguise. she can spot you from a mile away, your shy demeanor giving you away every time when you walk towards her shop the same way a sinner walks into confession. you mumble a shy greeting trying to ignore the slickness costing your panties as she grabs your hand to guide you to the back
massuse!janet who dimmed the lights while you undress, letting the candles spaced out throughout the room be the main light source. being sure to compliment your body as your laid out against table, if nothing else to see the way you become undone for her before even being touched
massuse!janet turning on love deluxe for background noise as she starts to slide her oiled up hands up & down your body. searching for knots she can press into to her your pretty little moans.Â
massuse!janet who notices you start to squirm as she kneads the oil into your glazed body. feigning innocence when she asks you if everything was alright, making you say out loud what you want from her
Â
she watches as you turn over, carelessly pushing the blanket off the table as you spread yourself out for her. full breasts on display with pebbled nipples. her gaze drops to your legs, smiling softly as you parted them for her. your inner thighs completely covered in slickÂ
massuse!janet who eagerly tackles this new knot of yours. rubbing a finger through your center, admiring the shine from the slickness now coating it. looking you in the eyes as she sucks the slick off of it
massuse!janet dousing her hand in oil again before returning her attention to you. running her slick hand all over you until every nerve and fold is coated in the mix of your slick & the massage oilÂ
massuse!janet who bits her lip as she takes in your opening pulsing practically begging for more. she rubbed her palm against you carelessly, smirking as you whine for more
massuse!janet who finally decides to stop teasing you. slipping two fingers inside you, pumping them slowly as she feels you contract around her fingers. she goes faster when you finally start to let out those pretty noises for her
massuse!janet who takes her fingers out right before you were about to cum. you don't get much time to complain before she's pulling off her scantily clad tank top before she's moving you into her lap as she lays down on the massage table. ordering you to use her and if you want to cum so bad
massuse!janet who grips your hips as you ride her, making sure you went slow enough to feel each individual ab press against your aching clit before you finally came
massuse!janet who cleans you the mess you made up, claiming she can't find your panties as she helps you get redressed. you notice them sticking out of her back pocket as she walks you to the door
you can't help but think to yourself what an expensive habit these massage appointments are going to turn into if you end up losing your panties every time you come here

ââ ââ ââ â ââ
đČÖŒđą mature!michael, who constantly uplifts you with words of affirmation. each morning, you both repeat in unison the phrases written in his careful cursive: âi am so grateful iâm a magnet for miracles.â âi am beautiful.â âi am number one.â on the days you recite with less conviction, he kisses your knuckles softly after each iteration to encourage you â pavlovian conditioning in action.Â
đČÖŒđą mature!michael after dark, whose reflection smirks back at you as you arch further into his chest. he rubs your clit in lazy circles, middle and ring fingers curled deep inside you, kissing your cervix. his left forearm is tucked under your breasts as he rolls your right nipple with his thumb and forefinger. making you watch him bring you to ecstasy is better than any orgasm he might have. your eyes screw shut in embarrassment at the sight. âmikeâŠplease,â you whine. âyou look so beautiful like this, baby. be a good girl â meet my eyes and tell me you know.â
đČÖŒđą mature!michael, who sees you as his precious babydoll. he quietly studies the fashions and aesthetics you gravitate towards, the size of your wardrobe is almost comparable to his. your sensual nature makes you inclined to silky pajama sets and gauzy lingerie. fashion shows are frequent at your shared home. the latest piece? a sheer nude chemise and matching thong, glittering softly under the warm light. you giggle shyly as michael fixates on your every curve. âdo you like it?â you say, turning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. he looks at you as if you are. âi absolutely love it, doll,â michael takes his bottom lip between his teeth. âsuch impeccable taste.â
đČÖŒđą such impeccable taste indeed. mature!michael after dark who, shortly after making love to you â courtesy of the sexy chemise â discreetly picks up your discarded thong, encased in your essence from last night. though youâve been suspicious but canât confirm, michael has a secret stash of your used panties, saving them for the days or weeks he might spend away from you. sometimes he keeps it in his suit pocket, sneaking away in between meetings to get a quick whiff, as the comfort can quickly teeter towards an insatiable desire. michael drives himself insane in his hotel room with your scent, spending hours smelling, sucking, and releasing into countless pairs of your panties.Â
đČÖŒđą mature!michael, who loves to sit you in front of the bathroom mirror after a shower so you can watch him massage your body, placing gentle kisses on your shoulder blades, spine, hip bones, and painted toes as he works you from your head to your soles. if he werenât a superstar, you think, could he have been a world-renowned masseuse? you close your eyes, head lulling back as you enter ultimate bliss, and michaelâs laugh rumbles lowly. âenjoying yourself, sweetheart?â âalwaysâŠâ âthatâs what i aim to hear. in fact, thatâs what i live for,â stating plainly and smiling up at you lovingly. Â
đČÖŒđą mature!michael after dark, who also, after taking the liberty of kneading the expensive oils and butters he gifted you onto your naked, glazed frame, uses both his large hands to spread your ass, one palm for each globe. the arousal sparks deep and low in your womb, folds already threatening to glisten like the rest of your body. your face flames as you automatically attempt to press your thighs together, but michaelâs hands firmly keep your position. âdonât get all shy on me angel, just wanna let you see how tantalizing all of you is.â he takes the pad of his middle finger and slides from your pearl, to your pooling entrance, to your perineum, to the tight pucker of your asshole, groaning lowly as he explores you until youâre a needy mess.Â
đČÖŒđą mature!michael, who loves to shower you with presents despite your frequent refusals. your past partners made you feel guilty for wanting more thoughtfulness in your relationship. you prayed your next lover would be attentive and spoil you rotten. yet, you never expected itâd be of this magnitude: romantic getaways around the globe, dainty, modest jewelry that cost thousands upon thousands, investments in your personal and creative endeavorsâŠjust to name a few. âhoney, this is absolutely too much. i donât know how you can expect me to accept this.â michael surprised you with your very own home library. the room had cherry wood floor-to-ceiling bookshelves filled with literary classics, fairytales, and personal favorites; couches with cushions like quicksand that threaten an afternoon nap rather than finishing the next chapter in front of you; and matching desks â side by side, of course â so you and michael can work on your respective projects without leaving one anotherâs sight. âonly the best for my lady,â michael croons, his bambi eyes attempting to wink.Â
đČÖŒđą mature!michael after dark, who insists on the gift of overstimulation. the filthy expressions your face contorts into and the tremors of your body he so lovingly studies pay off when providing you pleasure. michael knows when you really need to tap out, and pushes the limit every time.Â

DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME? ; vampire!thrad!michael jackson / f!reader
summary; âSo, Mr. Jackson,â you speak over the cassette recorder. âHow long have you been dead?â ... He laughs.
word count; 14.2k
warnings/tags; 18+ mdni. THE PICTURE IN THE BANNER IS PURELY AESTHETIC (zero racial descriptions!). no pepsi accident !!! heavily inspired by interview with the vampire (2022), journalist!reader. flashbacks, falling in love, time skips/nonlinear narrative, angst with a happy end, diana ross slander, reader is #danielmolloymaxxing, vampire turning, explicit depictions of blood and violence & some weird psychosexual vampire shit, making up, brief mention of vomit (because vampirism is gross), explicit sexual content: dry humping, phone & couch sex, mutual masturbation.
A/N; i want to preface this by saying i in no means claim that this is an accurate reprepsentation of mj. yes this is true for all rpf but i've never written it before so i'm nervous. anyway. i genuinely, literally, have absolutely nothing to say for myself at all. iâm not even kidding. a few notes: the vampire rules are the same as iwtv (obviously). you can honestly safely assume that louis and armand are just next door in san francisco for the entirety of this fic (it changes nothing but it's funny to think about). i've left out the changes to mj's skin during the thrad era, because even though your appearance freezes when you're turned, i figured i can play around with that. so feel free to imagine him as you'd like. (also. i'm going to be honest with you: it gets pretty fucked up. for those familiar with iwtv it's a walk in the park, but for those not⊠yeahhh...)
â Ę . read on ao3. my masterlist. REBLOGS and comments are deeply cherished, feed your local writer!!! fic playlist <3
âSo, Mr. Jackson,â you speak over the cassette recorder. âHow long have you been dead?â
He laughs.
A beautiful sound, softer than life itself; this delicate thread he walks on with one foot hanging off the ledge and into the darkness. Not really alive, not truly dead. Just trapped in the endless pendulum of both.
âItâs Michael,â he almost whines. Such a soft cadence for a creature capable of such great violence. A contradiction, just like everything else about him. Heâs lounged on his couch, spread out, wearing darkness much better than it wears him. Heâs biting on one finger with a tilted head, smiling at you so brightly you almost forget about the sharp-fanged canines glistening. âFor you, itâs Michael.â
You pause, swallow. âI know, Mr. Jackson.â
Michael Jackson lived just like he died: on the margins, despite having every spotlight on himself. Biggest star of the worldâresplendent, untouchableâsomeone to look at in a museum display with awe instead of knowing. Of learning.
Of loving.
Michael Jackson came into your life still breathing, cheeks full of warmth, alive. So, so alive it hurts to think about. Heâd just broken the Grammys in half, forever splitting himself apart from any other artist thatâs walked the same halls and earned the same awards.
They werenât him. No one would or ever could be.
The year was 1984. At the beginning of spring, the time when earth wakes up and stirs people into living again. But it stirs hunger, too. Blood-red and sopping with a never-ending repetition that rarely gives and only takes.
You didnât know it then and neither did he, but the spring of â84 would be the last spring Michael ever saw as mortal. Where he could wake in the morning and tiptoe outside, glimpse at the birds perched on his balcony and watch the sunrise without it being suicidal.
You were nervous back then, still green while the industry was blooming all in technicolor around you, trying to carve a space for yourself in metaphorically unmoving stone.
Youâd just gotten out of a hellish job waiting tables near Marina Del Rey. Ready to take the world by storm, carrying your clip-book full of articles everywhere like ID. It was your baby, fully yours, born from three yearsâ worth of endless nights and cramped fingers and all the sweat going into that.
UC Berkeleyâs Mass Communications alumna. Magna Cum Laude, although you had to fight for it because, well⊠Life gets hard sometimes, right? But you got it in the end, and it felt good as shit.
That waitress job was temporary, youâd swore to yourself it would be. Your dreams were much bigger than a sleazy diner only serving those small enough to fit in it. It got you through school though, so thereâs not much to pine about. You lose some, you win some.
And you won big.
Worked your ass off for that win, too. Written a banging thesis on the rise of MTV, built a portfolio of music reviews for The Daily Cal, co-hosted a weekly pop culture slash entertainment show on KALX with some campus friends.
â90.7 FM every Wednesday, baby!â
You miss it, what can you say? You just canât help yourself. Life flowed easier back then. Before the inevitability of success, of that gnawing feeling somethingâs going to go terribly wrong any minute now.
Before Michael.
Everything is categorized as either before or after him. Sometimes you canât even tell the difference; the feeling of his teeth is like itâs always been there.
A phantom pain youâd feel when changing mixtapes for an article that was due, or those times youâd get goosebumps when tidying up the vinylsâlate at the radio station, after a showâand his face would show up.
White suit over a black shirt; piercing eyes, soft face and even softer disposition; gold handwritten cursive reading Thriller.
Youâd think, again and again, âFuck, heâs gorgeous.â The vinyl would sit tucked pretty between The Policeâs Synchronicity and Bowieâs Letâs Dance, and thatâd be it. Just another record on the shelf, another artist that floated above the common man not because of money or arrogance, or even success.
Simply because he was meant to be there. It was the rest of the world that was just catching up with him.
Thatâs what you thought then, at least. Before you met him and got to know him. Before falling for him rather than the idol plastered on every entertainment article (written by you, or otherwise). It simultaneously took you by surprise while also not being surprising at all. Everyone falls in love with Michael one way or another, you just didnât think you would.
At least, more than a fan or an admirer of his art, professionally. Of course you were a fan. Your mom used to blast Jackson 5 records every Saturday morning, and youâd be peeling potatoes or sweeping the living room with Michaelâs voice as an underscore.
You grew up with him. And, isnât that sad? You were a kid, a real kid; crying over boys and homework and skinned knees while he was pumping out show after show and interview after interview. Even at eight, you remember feeling sad for him.
Your mother used to tell you youâre being silly. That the Jacksons loved to perform, and they got handsomely compensated for their artistry. That they wouldnât have to work a real job a day in their life the way you or your dad were expected to. And, she was right. But the sadness was there, you could feel it.
When he released his first solo album, Got To Be There, you bought it with the weekly allowance youâd been saving up and surprised your mom. That weekend, the only thing echoing through the house was Rockinâ Robin. And when he put out his first proper solo album, Off The Wall, you were first in line at your local records store.
You loved him for a long time before you laid eyes on him, but that childish almost-affection quickly got eclipsed by something far stronger.
The date was February 28th of 1984, the Shrine Auditorium bursting like ripe citrus against a setting sun, palm trees swaying by the sheer size of the crowd. A heavy laminated card dangled from your neck, reading:
26th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS, National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Inc., PRESS.
You were with Rolling Stone, or with whatever crumbs of a presence they maintained in the West Coast after moving all their offices to New York years ago. Your editor, Ben, was a washed-up Rock-N-Roll purist who thought anything other than Elvis was âa fad,â including the ever-rising pop scene.
Including Michael.Â
Which is precisely why he sent youâthe bright-eyed and bushy-tailed girl from Berkeleyâto cover the Grammys instead of going himself. Thought it was a waste of time, and who were you to disagree with the man?
Ben could live in his past-and-gone glory days all he wanted; it was a new decade halfway on its way out already, with something in the air that felt historic. Primordial. You needed to be in that room, and if playing into Benâs refusal to get with the times was your way in, fuck would you do it.
Of course, it did end up being historic. Michael hadâhasâthat quality about him.
The backstage press room was pure pandemonium that night. Hot and stifling, reeking of hairspray and cigarette smoke, packed with aggressive reporters from Time, Newsweek, and television affiliates you couldnât even begin naming.Â
You think they saw you just like Ben did. Scratch that: you know they did. A kid without her big-girl pants on, thrust into the deep end for the sharks to feed on and scatter the scraps.
Youâd earned your place there, as much as their stares did nothing to help the sweat on your back or the twitching of your lips. Watching from the designated press room, you bit through your lipstick as the nearly 7K-seat theater blew up with each win Michael brought home, growing louder the more the night progressed.Â
You were not surprised at all. Thriller was a masterpiece, you knew it from the very first listen. And if anybody asked, youâd just point them to Page 30 of your portfolio: your best article. Your magnum opus. October of 1982, a thousand words typed on a clunky typewriter in the basement of Eshleman Hall, coffee stains on the margins. Written by a girl who saved up her waitress tips just to buy the record on release day; the same girl whoâd saved up for Got To Be There all those years ago.
When Michael finally entered the press room, it erupted even louder than the theater had.
Much closer in proximity, shoulders and elbows pushing against ribs, a clunky brick-sized cassette recorder clutched so tight in your hand your knuckles shook. Someone kept thrashing against your back to get closer, but all they managed to do was push you right to the front. Right into Michaelâs eyesight.
He was surrounded by publicists, security, and Quincy Jones, who was positively glowing. Somewhere to the side stood his date for the night, Brooke Shields, and Michael was holding a literal armful of golden gramophones. He was in a gold-embroidered blue-black military jacket, a single white glove, aviator sunglasses.
He looked otherworldly.
(Michael Jackson is not of this earth, that much was clear long before he died in sanguine ecstasy.)
A sea of camera flashes clicked with inhuman speed, swirling into a dizzying staccato reflecting off of him. And being with Rolling Stoneâtheir dwindling influence in California notwithstandingâstill meant you were with Rolling-fucking-Stone. You knew you had one sought-after chance at a question before security whisked him away, and you knew you had to make it count.
Asking anything along the lines of âhow does it feel to have wonâ or âbroken the recordâ were out of the question entirely. His answer would be tight and rehearsed, and you didnât grind this hard just to waste something so monumental on a local-channel-news question at best.
Your hand shot up so many times you mightâve gotten whiplash, questions flying around the room in tandem with the trickling clock. Your heart dropped and kept dropping as publicists looked you over in favor of the men squeezing you from all sides. Until one publicistâfemale, older, a mirrored imageâmade eye contact and your world stuttered in place.
âAlright, alright, quiet down,â she commanded over the clamor. âWe have time for just a couple more. Yes, you in the front.â
This was it. Your heart was hammering so deeply you felt it in your stomach, seeping down your legs and numbing them in the process. Your Berkeley instincts kicked in like fight-or-flight, forcing your voice to even out and raise. Holding up the recorder, you smiled through the sweat dripping down your face.Â
âMr. Jackson, congratulations on a historic night. Iâm with Rolling Stone. On Billie Jean, you and your team famously spent weeks just mixing the bassline. Tonight, the world is celebrating the commercial success of Thriller. But as an artist, do you feel the industry finally understands the actual technical craftsmanship you put into this record?â
The room got quiet. Not truly silent, but just enough to hear your own heartbeat again, listen at just how loud you were breathing. A man coughed beside your ear, and you fought the urge to flinch.
Michael paused. He wordlessly handed a few gramophones to Quincy by his side, tilted his head just so, lowered the aviator glasses down his nose, and gave you a gentle smile.
Cameras click-click-clicked away.
Youâd heard his speaking voice before that night, obviously. But hearing it from five feet apart had nothing on the shitty TV box in your apartment or the screens youâd watched the awards from backstage.
âThatâs a beautiful question,â he breathed, and you pushed on your tiptoes to nudge the recorder closer. He sounded like soft velvet, making you shiver. âYes. Yes, I do. People often just want to talk about the dancing or the charts, you know? But Quincy and I, we lived in that studio, and Bruce sweated over every single frequency. Billie Jean⊠that bassline is the heartbeat of the song. If the heartbeat isnât perfect, the body doesnât move. To have the Academy recognize that tonight⊠Itâs a sign God is good, and that the hard work is understood. That means a lot to me. Thank you.â
That was it. Your one question, your headline, the article you were waiting to write ever since you heard his voice on vinyl that first Saturday morning. But you were never one to be satisfied, were you? No. You always wanted more, pushed harder, chased things quicker than your feet could keep up with.
The publicist was about to call one last question, but Michael hadnât taken his eyes off you, so you did the one thing youâd been busting your ass three years off for.
You asked another.
Briefly meeting the publicistâs line of sight, you jumped back into Michaelâs gaze. âIs that the standard for pop music now? Perfection or nothing?â
He pushed his aviators up again, chuckled something soft, smile so wide and blinding it bordered on catastrophic. He said: âPerfection is a nice goal, but itâs really about the magic. You canât mix magic, you just have to catch it when it falls from heaven. Thank you, bless you.â
Bedazzled hand over his heart, hell broke loose with all its demons as Michael was led away.Â
And that was how the new girl from Berkeley managed to snag a spot on the front-page cover of issue #419, right beside the pose of Eddie Murphy.
(Youâd written for #417 too, but that issue hit the streets right before the Grammys. Youâll always mourn that cover; the lighting on Michaelâs face made him look beautifully melancholic. Having your article plastered next to him mightâve actually killed you, so, yeah. Like you said: you lose some, you win some.)
You wouldnât see Michael again for a couple of months. In reality, you didnât think youâd see him again, period. Speaking to him once was already a utopic dream come true. A comet that only flies by once and you remember it forever, because there isnât a chance youâll see it again.
But the Rolling Stone higher-ups loved you. Okay, âloveâ is a strong word. Though, being the only journalist to squeeze out a genuine answer from Michael on arguably the biggest night in pop-culture history? That made people do a double take when your name showed up. Thatâs all the love you needed.
Ben was weirdly jealous. It didnât help when you asked him how many Grammys Elvis won in one night. Really dug a hole for yourself when you added, âOr, like, ever?â
He could do nothing when you were chosen to cover the preparations for the Victory Tour; granted exclusive access to Zoetrope Studios to attend the rehearsals. Youâre surprised you didnât pass out when Ben broke the news, with as much enthusiasm in his face as reading his monthly bill charges.
April of 1984. A boulevard packed with the busy fumes only a city as big as Los Angeles could produce, that same cassette recorder tucked inside your bag as you paid the cab driver and stood in the front doors of Zoetrope. The sun was slowly setting in the background when a production assistant came to grab you. Huffing and puffing while breezing through his notes, he hardly even looked back to see if you were following.
When he slipped you inside the auditorium, you chose a seat near the middle, the lights dimmed and the stage alight. You pulled out your notepad and got to work, words flying off the paper with hardly the need to look down at them.
You were mesmerized.
All of them were great, but they werenât Michael.
When they started practising a Jackson 5 medley and you heard Iâll Be There echoing right in front of you, tears almost fell. You thought of your mom and how insane this was, sniffled, and continued jotting on your notepad.
The rehearsal ended, stage lights dimming until fluorescence zipped to life above the theater seats, and you had to squint against the onslaught. Your notes were a mess and your shirt sported a new ink smudge near the breast pocket, yet Michael recognized you anyway.
He was sweaty and tired, wearing a soaked white shirt, curls stuck on his forehead and cheeks. He had just downed an entire Evian water bottle, and some of it trickled past his lips and down his neck. He looked entirely spent, and all you could think was how much youâd kill to be the one to make him feel better.
Your head shook at that. Jesus, girl.
His demeanor was so different from when he was onstage. Itâs like he took another form entirely. But down there he was just a guy, squinting at you through the exhaustion. You exited the seats and when he came close enough, you told him: âHi, Mr. Jackson. Iâm fromââ
He cut you off. âHold on⊠Donât I know you?â
His voice was as soft as youâd remembered. It washed over you. From the back, his brothersâ boisterous laughter could be heard, but you clung to the softness. Faltering a little, you looked at your shoes before meeting his eyes again. Your smile was tight but genuine. He remembered you.
âBackstage at the Grammys. I asked you about the Billie Jean basslineâŠ?â you trailed off.
And, his whole face just lit up. You shouldâve known right there heâd be the thing to kill you.Â
Snapping a finger, he laughed: âYes! The craftsmanship question. I remembered your voice.â His shoulders fell in relaxation, like he was lighter. His hand dropped, that enthusiastically bright smile melting into something softer. Mellower. Looking straight into your soul all the while. âYou wrote that beautiful piece for Rolling Stone. You actually⊠listened to the track.â
You chuckled a bit, feeling your neck flush. This wasnât the Grammys press room or an official interview studio, with cameras or mics or anything other than his eyes to scrutinize you. This was private. Genuine. You were a kickass professional, but you were also human. He flustered you; way more than pride would have you admit out loud.
He read your article. Called it beautiful. Holy shit.
âI try to make it a habit. Youâd be surprised how many people I work with that couldnât tell you the difference between a chorus and a bridge.â
Cough. Ben. Cough.
That made him laugh. Fuck. Fuck! Leaning a hip against a seat, he crossed his arms and shook a curl off his forehead. His smile was fucking devastating. âNot you, though. Right?â
 âI mean, I hope so?â You made a joking grimace, something between cringing and shrugging. âThereâs always a margin for improval, though.â
âI think so, too. Staying stagnant is one of my biggest fears.â
âYouâre anything but stagnant, trust me,â you laughed, swallowed hard when he levelled you with a look that urged you to continue. âIâI mean, Off The Wall mightâve been your first fully solo album, but youâd already separated yourself from your brothers creatively. Completely. And, Thriller⊠What can I even say? Theyâre like day and night. So, yeah. Trust me,â you took a breath for what felt like the first time after a dive, âJournalistic integrity and all.â
He was nodding along, smile brightening the longer you rambled. In truth, you actually wanted to kind of kill yourself, but once you started there was no shutting it off. So, there you were, giving Michael Jackson a review of his own damn lifeâs work! What even was your life?
âYouâll be covering this,â he looked back halfheartedly, sighing, âuh, tour?â
Your brows furrowed. âThe preparations, yeah.â Call it plain curiosity or your journalistic instincts kicking in, but it took you over. âWhyâd you say it like that? Are you not⊠feeling this?â
He levelled you with a smirk. His eyes were hooded; tired, but sly. Oh, he was a problem, alright. âNot now that youâre here.â
He said it all smooth and suave, yet squinted his eyes a second later, softly laughing at himself and making you stutter through a laugh too.
âThatâsâuh⊠Thank you. I appreciate it, Mr. Jackson. More than you know.â
âMichael,â he grinned at you. âFor you, off the record, just Michael. Weâll be sharing a space for some time âtil the tour.â
You nodded like an idiot, completely caught off-guard. Because, yeah, what the fuck. Sure. âMichael,â you repeated. Like an idiot.
A camera flashed from the side, a metaphorical bucket of ice-cold water getting dumped on you. All levity evaporated off of him, spotting the promotional photographer almost instantly and raising a dismissive hand.
âCâmon, man. Go bother Jermaine or somethinâ.â
âOâof course, Mr. Jackson. Sorry!â
He left with his tail tucked between his legs, and you looked at Michael with a sniff. âHe doesnât call you Michael.â
âHeâs not you, is he?â
âGuess not.â You glanced at your watch, eyes widening. âOh! I have to go. Iâll see you next time. Um,â you giggled awkwardly and shook your head. Maybe it could be seen as endearing. At least, you hoped. âGoodnight, Michael.â
âDo you live close? Want me to get someone to call a cab?â
âIâm good,â you nodded softly at the thoughtfulness. It made you feel warm. âSee you.â
âYeah,â he nodded, hips jutting off of the seat he was leaning against, hands closing around the towel hanging from his neck. âIâll see you.â
That night, you closed your apartment door and screamed so loud the old lady next door had to check on you. You were so over the moon that you slapped a kiss on each of her cheeks and gave her a bunch of leftover cookies youâd made the day before.
You werenât scheduled to attend another rehearsal until next week. What you werenât expecting to find at work two days later was a courier at your desk, a nondescript white package shoved into your arms as he urged you to sign. Your heart began pitter-pattering like a hailstorm as you carefully opened it with a pair of scissors, and not even Benâs curious gaze was enough to stop you.
It was from him.
A rare, early white-label promotional vinyl pressing of Thriller, âNOT FOR SALEâ plastered front and center. Your heart genuinely dropped to your ass, head swimming as you turned it around your grip with a hung jaw.
You think Ben mightâve made some sarcastic comment about the feral look in your eyes, but you didnât even register his presence. He was such a small blotch of importance in your mind, he might as well have not existed at all.
Your head was in upheaval, little-youâs running around with everything on fire, because⊠This wasnât happening, right? What the hell?
There was a handwritten note attached, on what looked like to be Michaelâs personal stationary: a gold-trimmed and thick cream paper sporting his handwriting. Your heart galloped harder, like it wanted to burst free with every line you read.
It was a wonderful surprise to see you at rehearsals. Itâs rare to find someone who understands the magic we try to capture in the studio. I would love to talk more about music with you⊠Without all the flashing cameras next time.Â
If you have some time this weekend, please call Bill (my security) at this number (213)XXX-XXXX. He will arrange for us to have some quiet time to talk.
Keep writing beautifully.
âBlessings, Michael
You were gone, in every sense of the word. Completely and utterly wiped out.
You called the number right there in the office, nervously fidgeted with the cord as you spoke with a sweet-voiced man on the other line who identified himself as the aforementioned Bill, chewed halfway through your lip when you gave him your address and arranged for him to pick you up on 8PM that Saturday.
Arrangements for Encino, the Jackson residence. To somehowâin some inconceivably mind-numbing wayâmeet up with Michael Jackson and⊠talk about music? You. And him. Alone in a house larger than your apartment complex and probably your old house combined.
You and him, alone, with his beautifully doe-like eyes and that soft voice that hasnât left your mind ever since you heard him in the flesh. Fuck.
When you got home that day, you dropped everything by the door and flew to your momâs old record player she insisted you take during the move. Punching the white-label in, you spent nearly the entire time between coming home and sleeping just listening to Thriller on repeat.
It sounded so⊠crisp. Clearer than the record back at Berkeleyâs radio station, or the one currently sitting on your stack near the wilting spider-plant. If absolutely nothing else, it was a collectorâs wet dream, and the most thoughtful thing anyone had done for you in a long time. Worst of all? He didnât have to.
The thought had you smiling like an idiot inside your small apartment, with the smoke-stained walls smelling of cheap perfume, forgotten takeout, and that certain kind of loneliness only the dust gathering could spread.
God, you were so easy. But he was who he was, so you figured youâd cut yourself some slack.
Thatâs exactly the thing, though⊠He owed you nothing. Anybody else in his place wouldâve probably forgotten about you the moment they stepped out the press room, let alone remembering you worked for Rolling Stone and waiting for the article to hit the streets? Are you kidding?
You never asked him why. That week came and went like water in a forest creek, swifter than a breath. Before you knew it, it was Saturday and 8PM loomed dangerously. Your room was in a state of disarray, which meant your bathroom too, which might as well have meant the entire apartment looked like site zero of nuclear testing.
Bill arrived at 8PM on the dot, bent his hat for hello as you descended the stairs, and drove you to Encino like heâs driven you a million times before. Like he would a million times again.
Michael greeted you by the fountain. Your heart did the thing that makes you think youâre having a heart attack, but no. Heâd just smiled at you. Cheeks full of warmth, eyes bright, asking with a soft voice if you liked his gift. He said he didnât want to come off as pretentious, but the way you spoke about Thriller made him think youâd appreciate it.Â
You donât even remember what you said; the most you remember about that night is everything youâd loseâ
âYouâre thinking about him again, arenât you?â Michaelâs voice cuts through the low hum of the cassette recorder, dragging you out of the spring of â84 and dropping you right back into the suffocating luxury of 1988.
You blink, focusing on him again. That sweet face full of promise gives way to what he is now: undead and frozen, disastrously beautiful, the best and worst thing to ever happen to you.
What he also is, is inside your mind. Literally.
The tape reels of the Sony TC-D5M turn between you, small plastic wheels trapping secrets that could burn the music industry to ash if they ever left this room. When they leave this room.
âIâm the one doing the interviewing. Get out of my head,â you quip, arms and legs crossed, every ghost of his gaze making your hair stand in attention. Clearing your throat, you adjust your position as if a straight back could shield you against him. âWhoâs he?â
 âYeah, yeah you are. Câmon, girl,â he tsks, waving you off. âYou know exactly who he is. I donât have to read your mind to know where you go when you look at me like that.â
âAnd where is that?â You level him with shaky blinks, almost afraid to take the risk of not seeing him for that fraction of a second it takes for your lids to open again. Heâd never hurt you, you know that.
At least, more than you want. More than you crave to be hurt by him.
âHayvenhurst, Zoetrope, the studio in Encino, that hole-in-the-wall record storeâŠâ he counts off on one hand, long curls falling over his eyes from the half-up/half-down updo heâd tucked them in. âBefore. Stuck on something thatâd never last to begin with. Iâm right here, baby. Canât you see that?â
He looks so good it makes you want to cry. Why did you agree to this?
Because heâs Michael. Because you love him. You loved him in 1984, and â85, â86 and â87, and you love him now too. No matter the blood. No matter his nature. Heâs still the Michael you met in that crowded press room, no matter how much he insists he isnât.
âSo. The him in question is you, Mr. Jackson. You, before you turned?â Journalistic, professional, curt. Thatâs what he asked for, isnât it? One final interview by his favorite journalist, revealing what he is to the world.
His eyes drift down to the recorder. It whirs and whirs and keeps on whirring. The almost 13K square feet take the silence and project it all throughout, until the house is louder because of it.
âYeah. Itâs me.â He breaks into a blinding smile. His fangs glint. âIâm thirty years old. I was turned the summer of â84, so Iâve been dead for about four years.â
âBy all accounts then, still a child.â He doesnât like that. Clenches his jaw, but says nothing. âWho turned you? How? I imagine those reading are most curious about that.â And then, almost too quiet for the cassette to pick up on, âI know I was.â
âYou know what I think about?â He ignores your prompt completely, elbows resting on his spread thighs, eyeing you with that look he gets only where youâre involved. âRemember Dodger Stadium?â
Of course you do.
(December 9th, 1984. A sea of fifty-five thousand people thrashing and screaming, all there for the final night of the Jackson 5 Victory Tour youâd been vigorously covering since April of the same year.
Somewhere along the way, it became something else. Michael had kissed you under the dim lights of his personal studio in Encino, and youâd kissed him back. One hand on his nape, the other clawing at the curve of his waist. His arms curled around you like they belonged there, and his tongue tasted as good as he sounded.
He asked you to be his girl two weeks later. You protested halfheartedlyâthinking of your career and the ethicsâbut in the end didnât give half a shit. He was yours, you were his, and you continued being a kickass entertainment journalist in the meantime. Your sources just became a tad more direct.
And then, he died.
It was early August, their next concerts being scheduled for NYC. He flew you out, ready to show you off to his brothers like they didnât already know, and you were over the moon.
Ever since the tour started and long distance became an inevitability, the landline by your bedside got hot every night before bed. Heâd call, and youâd fall asleep with his sleepy voice as a lullaby. It left you aching in the best of ways.
You missed him like you knew him all your life. You were so happy to see him again, but⊠He was different.Â
He looked⊠sick. Lips dry, eyes unfocused, limbs uncoordinated like it was the first time he wore his skin. He refused to leave the hotel while the sun was out, and looked at your neck like it was calling to him.
Well⊠His nature became clear when you found him draining a busboy behind the hotel. The guy looked deliriously elated to be dying: smile wide as blood-spurts flew like a fountain, bathing Michael in red as he gulped it all down.
He was onto you before you could even take a breath deep enough to scream.
Blood-stained hand against your mouth, wet against your skin, hot as it accidentally slithered past your lips. Your pupils shrunk into pinpricks, the bricks cold on your back as Michael caged you between him and the wall.Â
You couldnât breathe. You screamed against his hand so loud your throat burned, but it didnât matter. Nothing came out. Only the hot, sizzling tears that mixed with the blood.
âShh, shhh, baby, calm down,â he whispered. He was so close, inches away, the fresh blood metallic in your nostrils. You saw his fangs and screamed again, thrashing against his hold. âPlease, I love you. I love you, baby, be quietââ
You sobbed against his hand, head shaking as you desperately tried to get away. He kept shushing you with soft and loving praise, calling you beautiful, caging you harder. Your eyes fell on the busboy still dying, milky white skin drained of color as his blood stopped flying, and you knew he was dead.
âItâs over,â Michael whispered, kissing your forehead, lips lingering as he spoke against you: âItâs over, see? Stop cryinâ baby, youâre breaking my heart.â
âYou killed him,â you wailed against his hand that was slowly retreating. You couldnât breathe. You couldnât think. You couldnât move. âYou killed him, Mike, heâs deâdeadââÂ
Your sobs were the only coherent thing that could come out of your mouth; the same mouth that now had the taste of that guyâs blood. You were going to be sick.
âSomethinâ happened in New Jersey⊠I changed. I changed, baby, and,â he pointed to the dead guy, âI asked his consent. He let me,â Michael laughed in disbelief. âI swear to you. Letâs just go back to the room, yeah?â He searched for your eyes.
You couldnât look. You were petrified of what youâd find. Some monster, or the same sweet eyes he hid behind his hands when he shyly asked you to be his girl? You still donât know what wouldâve been worse.
âWâwhatâŠâ you coughed, spit clogging your throat, tongue paralyzed because if you moved it too much you could taste the blood. âWhat are you?â
âIâm me, but different. Iâm better.â That same soft voice, his characteristic lilt right in your ears.
âI want,â you heaved, âIâI want to go⊠I think. Michael, I just⊠Let me go.â You ducked your head down, one of your trembling hands ghosting over your jaw and the blood caked there. âLet me go, pleaââ
âCan I kiss you?â
âWhat?â you cried, eyes finally meeting his. There the monster stood, with the same eyes you loved.
He slowly leaned on you, laying his delicious weight and grounding you despite being the reason for your turmoil. He closed his eyes, those soft curls tickling your cheeks, his hips completely flush against yours and making you gasp as he breathed you in. You were hot, boiling everywhere: neck, chest, hips, deep down your belly and spreading into every inch of your limbs.
He was everywhere. And, in spite of everything, you clutched him tight. One hand on his bicep, the other brushing on the curve of his waist, leg unconsciously lifting to curl around his. You exhaled into his open and waiting mouth, swallowing his lips when they crashed against you. You tasted the fresh blood in his mouth, and shivered as you accidentally licked his fangs.
All you could think was that youâd go to Hell. Not in some lighthearted, cursing-in-the-heat-of-the-moment way. The literal way. The biblical way. Damned for eternity, boiled alive and skinned with fire type of Hell.Â
You moaned into him; half a whine, half a sob. He ate it all. He grinded his hips into you, hand buried in the meat of your thigh and bringing you even closer, closer to where he was hot tooâ
You were going to be sick.
And you did. Breaking the kiss for air, all that connected your mouths was a thin line of hot-red saliva mixed with blood.
And⊠Yep. There was your dinner: twisting in your stomach and up your esophagus, hitting you so viscerally you only had time to push Michael aside and hurl on the dirty concrete of some NYC back alley, trapped between a dead body and an undead one.
Fuck âa rock and a hard placeâ and whoever made that shit up. Fuck them and their momma, too.
âWhat the fuck are you?â you rasped with a sore throat, wiping your red-crusted lips with the back of your hand. Half-kneeled over, you were gripping your knee with one palm so hard it hurt.
He smiled at you wide, fangs getting buried in his bottom lip. They glistened with your spit and that thick metallic tang you could still taste. His voice was still soft. Still his.
âIsnât it obvious, girl? Iâm a vampire.â
You just laughed.
Sudden, sharp, gut-deep. You donât think youâve ever laughed that hard in all your twenty-six years on this mortal coil. Twenty-two, then. You laughed and laughed until all you could do was inhale lungfuls of air that punched their way out of you seconds later.
You clapped two hands together and looked at Michael with a crazed beam, your mouth open and teeth showing, still laughing. He looked at you and started laughing too, that deep rumble you found so attractive. He returned the crazed look, hands moving to wrap around each of your shoulders as you ran out of breath.
When your laughter died out, you fainted into his arms, and thatâs the last thing you remember about that night in the alley.
Itâd been four months since August. Four long months of guilt and disbelief clouding your head every time you woke up, of haunting your nightmares in the form of that unnamed busboy each night you fell asleep.
Anyone normal wouldâve turned Michael in to the cops. Wouldâve called him psychotic over the vampire bullshit, and ran away to some corner of the world so obscure not even the CIA couldâve found them in.
You did none of that. You werenât just anyone.
He showed you. That very same morning, with the hotel room blinds shut, he proved everything. Read your mind right back to you, extended and retracted his fangs on will, moved around the room in a dizzying rush of movement a million times faster than any normal human could run. He told you everything.
Your head hurt so much you couldnât get out of bed for two days, thus ending up losing your flight back to LAX. He paid for another ticket without question.
It was a tough-as-shit pill to swallow, but swallow it you fucking did. Michael Jackson was a vampire. Because, yeah, sure! Vampires are real! Thatâs a totally normal thing to be aware of in the world.
Michael was a vampire, you loved him, he loved you. He called you his girl, you kissed him and ached for him the same way you did before. You just needed time.
Ben was hounding you about your pending article/review of Princeâs newly released Purple Rain, the ceiling in your bathroom began leaking while you were away and had to get fixed, and you just⊠needed time to get your head straight.
The four months flew by quicker than you couldâve anticipated. Even as Michael and his brothers touched down on LAX at 2AM on the penultimate Friday of Novemberâjust a week before their final six shows in LAâyou had a hard time believing what really went down that night in August.
He called you during. Every night, just like before, the landline by your bed rang and youâd talk for so long that youâd wake up in the morning with the phone dangling off the side of your bed. Pretending everything was normal. Ignoring the elephant in the room probably big enough to get into the Guinness record.
Heâd call, and all you could think about would be those late nights in his studio, laughing over nothing as you questioned what you were even doing. Of how insane it was to share such an intimate space with him. Of knowing him beyond that invisible wall between you and a person of such tremendous success.
Of how much more he was than anything a TV host or swooning fan could squeeze out of him.
You flew into his arms near the mini-bus that was scheduled to drive them home from the airport, chuckled over his shoulder when Bill made eye-contact with a smirk. Bill also knew. You and him were the only ones.
Well, if you exclude Michaelâs maker. But you donât like thinking about that, so you donât.
âWhat does it taste like?â you asked him after the show on the 7th; the second to last.Â
You were in his room in Encino, the lamps casting a warm glow over his endearing childhood clutter. Perched on top of his bed, naked and sweaty and spent, you rested your head on your wrist, arm bent at the elbow. Your other palm played with the dips of his chest, curling in indecipherable patterns.
He huffed a soft laugh. âYouâve already had a taste, baby.â
âYeah, and I threw up,â you counter. âNo, I mean, like⊠Whatâs it like to drink blood? Does it feel like drinking life itself?â
He chuckled, gave you a wet peck and pulled on your lip with his fangs. You sighed a moan. âWarm,â he whispered. âThick, itâs⊠Well, itâs not the answer to lifeâs mystery, angel. Itâs food. I need it.â
âAnd me? Right now?â
His pupils dilated. You saw it in real time, as he bit his lip and his gaze fell on your neck. Your heartbeat picked up, and he wouldâve felt it anyway, vampire or not.
âI wonât lie to you. I sense it. Feel it,â he brushed a sharp nail softly against the skin on your carotid, âas it slides along your veins. I think about it, when weââ
He looked cute. Flushing at his own words, his own thoughts. Your thigh was draped over his naked lap, and he slid a hand across your skin to grip you tighter.
You didnât think much when you said: âTake a sip, then.â
His head snapped at you, all of the flush gone and replaced by something of a different nature entirely. There you were, a lamb thatâs survived the wolf and begging for it anyway.Â
Th-thump, th-thump, th-th-thump, th-thump. You knew he felt it. Your skin was sizzling, and you wanted him to taste you.
âNo,â he shook his head.
You raised a wrist near his face, waved it like a child, naked breasts brushing against him. Stupid fucking lamb. âWhy not?â you asked, and you actually sounded hurt.
He kissed you, poured all his love into it. Palm cradling your head softly and shooing away your wrist from the danger-zone that was his mouth, he said: âBecause,â a peck against your lips, âonce I start,â on your cheeks, âI wonât stop.â
Deep down, even then, you know you wanted itâ)
âThatâs not what I asked,â you tell him now, eyes tight. The whirring recorder fills the silence.
His head drops for a moment with a quiet laugh, and when he speaks up, he looks at the recorder pointedly. As if to say, âHappy now?â
âItâs my story, isnât it? My reckoning?â
You huff. âA story needs foundation. So far, all weâve established is that Michael Jackson knocked his head sideways so hard while filming Thriller, heâs having delusions. You asked for this interview, didnât you?â
âI did,â he smiles. He loves this. Of course he does.
âThen let me do my job. Now⊠When, how, and by whom were you turned?â
He sucks in a sharp breath, elbows on his knees, playing with his fingers. âI was turned in New Jersey, July 31st. My maker⊠is a patron of the arts. Thatâs what he told me, anyway. Why he did what he did. He said I should stay like this forever.â
You feel your heart bleeding. You know he can hear it, too. âAnd you will.â
âAnd I will.â
Michael should be alive right now. This shouldnât be happening. He shouldnât have so much blood on his hands, even though itâs so, so fucking hypocritical of you to think this way. The moment Michael died, he became something else. Something outside of human morality and comprehension.
Heâs not human, but that image of his doe-eyes that first Saturday in Encino is engraved down to your bones. You just canât let go.
You cough, clearing your throat, begging a higher power to stop the tears from pooling. You donât fucking need this right now. âSo, it wasnât consensual?â
His smile changes, for just a fraction of a second. âNo. It wasnât. But I donât think youâll find many vampires to tell you it was.â
You look to your lap, at the notepad thatâs still empty and the nervous tapping of your pen. âHow does one turn? Please, walk us through the process.â
There it is, that smirk. Even when he gets like this, his smile is beautiful.
âRemember Dodger Stadium?â he repeats, a deeper timbre in his voice that lands right where you donât need to be thinking right now. He doesnât normally sound like this, to protect his voice.
Fuck.
The answer is yes, and he knows it is. He just wants you to say it. Wants to remind you, as if it could ever be erased.
December 9th, Dodger Stadium. Last night of the Victory Tour. The night Michael finally gave his piece-of-shit father a taste of his own goddamn medicine. The night Michael tasted you for the first time. The point of no return.
You were backstage, waiting for him and his brothers to be done, eardrums nearly bursting by the sheer excitement of the crowd. It shouldâve overwhelmed youâand it nearly hadâbut he made it all okay. Had Bill standing by your side for the entirety of the concert, ensuring Michael would be the first person to see you after they got done. For good this time.
Joseph was there too, and you were fuming, but not as much as heâd be. The thought comforted you.
Michael looked high when he stormed towards you, sweat-soaked and iridescent, the throat-burning screams of an insatiable crowd echoing behind him like the croaks of vultures. He smiled at you, letting his fangs show as he took you by the hand, Joseph hot on his trail. Bill stopped him, and Michael didnât look back once.
He crowded your every sense in some obscure corner of the stadium, nearly pitch-black. He kissed you like he hadnât found your lips in days, like a thirsty man trekking the desert.
You welcomed it. You craved it. Arms thrown over his shoulders, one playing with the curls of his nape and the other burying itself in their thickness, you squeezed him like you wanted to be fused. Needed to.
âYou did it,â you sighed with a big smile against his lips, moaning a soft exhale as his kisses trailed down and all over. âIâm so fucking proud of you, Mike, you did itââ
The first bite was soft. Just a nip, a barely-there graze of his fangs on your exposed neck. A slip-up, making him freeze in place as your heart echoed, pounding deeper and deeper against its boney cage.
âIâm sorry,â he whispered. All color drained from his face. You panicked, clutched him tighter against you. He quivered: âBaby, no, Iâm so sorrââ
âNo,â you breathed. Th-thump, th-thump, th-th-thump, th-thump. You watched his eyes clouding, pupils blown as he zeroed in on your pulsing jugular. You felt the vein shifting your skin with its intensity. He damn-near drooled. âI want you to. I want you to have me, like this⊠I want you to taste me.â You licked into his open lips messily, tongue slipping on his fangs. âI trust you.â
He looked like heâd seen a ghost.Â
âWâwhat?â he stuttered in that sweet voice, just like the boy he used to be. His pretty eyes drifted between your neck and eyes, lost and confused, like he hadnât heard you right.
You smiled at him. With one finger, you traced his cheekbone, down his nose, across his lips. One of your legs was wrapped around his waist, and you tightened it. His hand instinctively buried itself in the meat of your thigh, thumb softly rubbing.
âI want you,â your hand pushed down your shirt collar, âto taste me, Michael. You deserve it.â
He morphed into something else; darkened eyes, something swirling inside them that surpassed lust by an absurd degree. You couldnât understand it fully; you could only just revel in it.
He inhaled sharply, lips on your vein, voice blistering. He sounded breathless, air completely punched out of him. âI do, donât I? You smell⊠so sweet, baby.â A kiss, sharp fangs prickling you, warning you of whatâs to come. âMy sweet thing, all mine⊠Are you sure?â
âYes,â you begged, âyes, yes, yeâahâ!â
It was⊠euphoric.
To this day, there isnât a more apt word for it. That first tasting felt better than any drug, any naturally produced hormone. And it was exactly that feeling of intimate carnage youâd been chasing ever since.
The truth is, Michael ruined you. Youâve come to terms with it.
How can you even put it into words? Heâs in your head again, you can tell; reliving it from your perspective, letting the pain and pleasure of memory wash over him as he exhales. You exhale, too. You cross your legs, he adjusts his crotch, and neither of you says a thing.
The recorder whirs, tapes wasted over the silence.
Your brain shifts through the memories without your say. That hot prickling of his teeth into your neckâfor just a secondâto gently pierce the flesh and not cause too much damage. The way he licked over it as you moaned, something in his tongue that made the pain give way to ecstasy.Â
You still havenât figured that part out, but you doubt thereâll be any scientific studies done on the Dark Gift anytime soon. So, mystery it is.
The way he drank: lazily, his slender and strong arms wrapped around you like a vice, feeling him everywhere as your eyes swam. You turned boneless in his embrace, like putty. Completely at his mercy, and he drank every last drop you offered.
You were pulsing hot for him, and you are now too. Both times, heâs been able to feel it. That first time, though, he held back. Blood-drunk and greedy for more, he drew back with a sharp breath, two slim fingers finding the puncture wounds and pressing tight to stop the bleeding. Heaving as his tongue lapped over what was left still on his lips, completely gone.
You remember feeling hammered. Like youâd just downed a whole bottle of Hennessy and done three lines of coke. Fuck, thatâs not something one can go through and just be normal afterwards, right? Well-adjusted and going on about their day?
Humans are vampire food, and that something in their saliva surely is to make your last moments on this earth somewhat enjoyable. That busboy looked so happy with his entire neck slashed in two. Youâd been in ecstasy too, and just lived to tell about it.
Heâs doing this on fucking purpose. Your thighs clench, eyes narrowing.
âI remember,â you hiss curtly. âBut you knew that. Youâre in my head right now, arenât you?â
âWhat would I see?â he asks, breathless, leaning back on the cushions, hand on his crotch. Donât look, donât look. âIf I was.â
Two can play that game. You force yourself to think of something insanely unsexy. Like that time you accidentally walked by Tito skinny-dipping in the pool in Hayvenhurst, one night youâd stayed over and wanted a glass of water in the middle of the night. You got an unforgettable view of his naked ass, and thatâs exactly the image you project.
It takes merely a second for Michael to lose it. And, fuck. Fuck him and that stupidly deep laugh of his. Fuck him, and fuck you for finding it so disarming.
âYou think my laughâs disarming, sweet thing?â
Sweet thing. Just like he called you that night, drooling over the smell of your veins. It shouldnât be as hot as it is.
âMr. Jacksonââ
ââMichaelââ
âMichaelâ!â you give in and cut yourself off, his name a frustrated whisper. You clench your eyes tight, defeated. Then, because youâre you, you bite back. âRemember the AMAs? Or Rolling Stoneâs 20th, remember that? Huh, Michael?â
(The American Music Awards of 1986. What can you even say about that shitshow of an awards night? The last time youâd been inside the Shrine Auditorium was as a young journalist, still unsure but certain to leave your mark.
And you clearly had, because the second time you stepped through those doors was while holding onto Michaelâs arm. His date. His girl. Seated in the front row, wearing a pretty black dress to match his military jacket.
You donât remember much about the ceremony or the afterparty, except for how much you wanted to strangle Diana Ross in that shiny red dress of hers. That old bitch.
Your and Michaelâs relationship was kept mostly private from the public, but not from either of your circles. A badly-kept secret, so to speak. Of course Diana knew as she called him up the stage and held his arm, kissed him sloppily on both cheeks, danced tightly against him as all the artists involved sang We Are The World.
You fought with him about it afterward, really bad. Said some nasty shit you wish you couldâve phrased differently, because he just couldnât see your point. He even defended her, right in your face! You remember saying something like: âShe met you as a child, Michael! A grown woman! Called you sexy on national TV! What the fuck are you not seeing, exactly?â
He replied like: âBaby, it ainât like that. Never was, never will. Youâre overreacting. Please. Why are you beinâ like this?â
Bill drove you home ten minutes later, and you didnât speak to Michael for over a week.
Your apartment got promptly filled with an apologetically handwritten card, some of your favorite pastries from Phoenix Bakery in Chinatown, and a brand new record of Kate Bushâs Hounds of Love.
It was a week too fucking soon.
Yeah. Well, â86 and â87 were a couple of bad years for the both of you. You donât know if you can confidently say you actually broke up, because how do two people break up when oneâs tasted your blood? When youâve let them? Can that connection ever be severed, even momentarily?
You sure as hell acted like it had.
Youâd barely spoken to him in monthsâclose to a year, almostâand the cards didnât once stop appearing every week, like clockwork.
He called you once, too. Late into the night, your apartment quiet as you twisted and turned. You picked up on the third ring, breath catching in your throat when you heard his soft whiny breaths.
Michael. Heavy and hot, almost scratching the receiver. You recalled his scent, the way his perfume would linger on the pillows even hours later. The way youâd bury your face in those pillows as he wrecked you.
The soppy-wet sounds of his hand working over himself travelled the distance, landing right between your legs as you rubbed them together in shock.Â
âMike?â you whined, bit back a moan as he exhaled.
âTalk to me, baby, jusâ keep talking⊠Aâah, please, plea⊠I need to hear your voiceâŠâ
It was so loud under the silence. Your heart pounding, the heat between your legs slipping past the point of tolerance, the way his soft moans slithered on your skin and made you shudder. Your hand buried in your panties, mouth huffing and drooling over the headset, shuddering with each of Michaelâs groans and whines, each wet echo of his hand as he got off to your voice alone.
He came with a shuddering breath that was enough to send you over the edge too, fingers cramping as you chased the feeling with your hips, your moans only prolonging his own high.
The quiet stretched over you both like a blanket, just the faint scratches of the connection breaking it, your breaths mingling even miles apart. You imagined what heâd look like right then: fucked out, needy, spent, curls a wet mess against his forehead and cheeks. The way heâd clench his eyes in pleasure and the way his thighs would quiver from it. The way youâd kiss every inch of him, lips sliding over his sweaty skin as he flushed; because, despite everything, he still got shy.
Panting, you punched the landline shut, like itâd burned you. And that was it.
While that period of time felt like ages to you, it mustâve been meaningless for an immortal whoâs got nothing but time in his hands. You think he wouldâve waited years had you not pulled the stunt you had.
The scene was this: November of 1987 inside the Hollywood Palladium, dimly lit table areas punctuated by blinding white follow-spots cutting through a thick layer of haze, the stage dominated by a giant âRolling Stone: 20 Yearsâ neon sign. The air was heavy with the scent of expensive French perfume worn by every A-lister, spilled champagne, hairspray, and an omnipresent cloud of cigarette and cigar smoke.
You wore that black dress Michael bought for you to match him in the AMAs, because you knew he would attend. Heâd said as much in his most recent card that heâd sprayed with his perfume. You werenât proud of it, but youâd clutched it tight against your nose, inhaled a deep gulp of his sweet and honeyed musk, sighed as frustration and pettiness sprouted inside you like weeds.
You wore his dress, to match with another man. Like the selfish bitch you were, apparently.
His name was David; a sweet post-graduate from USC whoâd clung to you like a duckling since his first day in the office. It didnât take long for him to ask you to be his date for the anniversary party, and you could see in his eyes he hoped itâd lead to something more. A sloppy makeout with champagne-soaked lips, maybe some second-base action in the back of his red BMW in the parking lot. A textbook office romance thatâd end up being nothing but a short-lived disappointment, because after Michael thatâs what every relationship was doomed to burn down into.
Itâd never happen, of course. The plan wasnât to get under somebody else, it was to get under Michaelâs skin. Thatâs just about how far youâd thought it through. Hindsightâs a nasty bitch, though, because you really shouldâve second-guessed yourself a bit harder. You wouldnât have Davidâs blood on your hands had you done that.
But, youâre getting ahead of yourself.
David looked like the American Dream personified. Tall and muscular, pretty blue eyes and long brunette hair. He was the kind of man destined to marry his high school sweetheart and live in a nice two-story house in the suburbs, driving that same BMW until either he or the car gave out. You have no idea what happened and he somehow ended up as an entertainment-journalism intern in the heart of LA, but everyoneâs got a story, you suppose.
Michaelâs arrival signalled mayhem. Heâd just released Bad three months ago and embarked on his very first solo world tour since September: first stop in Japan, then back to the states for the near-month gap until the Australian leg of the tour. Bad was another masterpiece, but youâd known that already.Â
You were with him for almost the entire time he was making it. Youâd sat curled on his couch in the studio as he re-recorded his â83 demo for Liberian Girl, shuddering at his beautiful harmonies, kissing him in-between breaks.
Outside, the sidewalk was a warzone of the paparazziâs flashing Xenon flashbulbs. Inside, the instrumental intro of Dirty Diana began blasting as everyone became aware of Michaelâs arrival, and you had to fight the urge to glower.Â
Heâd told you it was fictional, a gritty pop-rock anthem about groupies. You knew he was telling the truth. It still pissed you the fuck off.
David was pulling at your hand, wanting to introduce you to Jann Wenner, who heâd just met himself. You know you shouldâve been enthusiastically jumping at the chance to get acquainted with Rolling Stoneâs co-founder, but all you could think about was Michael.
His look. The longer hair youâd been threading your fingers through, now slick with gel and held up in a half-bun, falling to his shoulders. The metallic buckles, the heavy black leather, the studs. He looked like sex, even from fifty feet apart. Even in the dark. Maybe especially in the dark; right at home.
His eyes found yours in the crowd, irises glinting unnaturally when you made eye-contact. Youâd missed those eyes so much. He smiled at that, reading your thoughts from the distance.
Amidst the clamor of his arrival and the party which was in full drunken swing, he made every sound but his projected voice fade away; as if your ears got stuffed with cotton. It disoriented you, and for a second before his voice rang in your head, you thought youâd been drugged.
âHi, baby,â he echoed around your skull.
Fuckâ
A chuckle, in unnatural surround sound. âI missed you too.â
But then David drew closer, still chatting with Jann Wenner, laughing over something you hadnât bothered to pay attention to. Not that you could. Michael was watching. And when Davidâs palm inched down to your waist, gripping your skin with the confidence of a much different man than who youâd become accustomed with⊠You knew. You could taste it in the air.
David was already dead.
Does it really matter what exactly happened next? How Michael cut a line through the crowd and laughed at Davidâs jokes, looked at you only when he invited him somewhere quieter to talk, acted fascinated with his infant career? How you did nothing to stop the growling predator from catching up with sweet David into one of the countless unmarked backrooms of Hollywood Palladium?
âStop!â you cried as Michael had him by the throat, red-hot and thick rivulets of crimson painting the floor in heaps. Davidâs neck was bent for Michaelâs teeth to latch onto, dark leather glistening with blood, his pretty eyes sizzling with an anger so deep it bordered on divine. âMike, heâs no one, hâheâs nothing! Heâs a fucking nobody! Just let him go!â
âA nobody?â he echoed, voice slick as he swallowed around the words. âTouching you? A nobody you wore this dress for? Our dress? Are you serious, girl?â
David was gargling on his own spit and blood, completely out of it, limbs spread like a plush-toy on the discount aisle. Your hands were shaking, gooseflesh prickling every exposed inch of skin.
âWe can just tâtake him to a hospital. Please, Mike,â you wheezed out, a sudden sob breaking through your voice. âItâs my fault⊠Itâs my fault, I didnât thiââ
âThink what? That Iâd do this?â
You shook your head, eyes clenched, arms crossed over your torso unsurely. âJust, letâs juââ
âWe canât take him anywhere, sweet thing. Or let him live.â He rose, slowly, the predator approaching the deer because it loves it despite everything. He came to you and cradled you by the nape, searched for your eyes as your breathing steadied. You gripped him by the waist as he brought you closer, going to kiss your forehead and stopping short because of the blood still dripping. âWhat happens when he wakes up and tells the police Michael Jackson tried to kill him?â
Fuck. Youâre so fucking stupid. Idiot. Idiot, idiot, idâ)
âOf course I remember,â Michael tells you. âIf youâd told me to stop, I wouldâve. But you didnât. Why?â
You drop the pen, ink smudging the unmarked notepad before you throw it to the side completely. âYou never actually wanted this interview, did you?â He smiles. âWhat is this? Some sort of sick trip down memory lane? Why the hell did you have me agree to this, Mike?â
âItâs Mike, again? Good, goodâŠâ he breathes, smile elated. âI didnât have you agree to anything, baby. You agreed⊠because you wanted to. Just like you wanted me to drain David dry.â You look away. âAdmit it,â he urges, wild.
(âiot, idiot, idiot.
âScratch me,â he told you, breath hot and metallic. You almost leaned forward. âPush me. Bite me. Do anything, and Iâll stop. Iâll let him go.â He unravelled his arms from you, took a step back, eyes locked onto yours like anchors the entire time. He moved backwards, one painstakingly slow step at a time. âAnything. Move a muscle, and I stop.â Another step. Two, three. âAnything, baby.â He leaned down, grabbed David by his blooming neck, oozing in-between his fingers. He shook his head: âNo?â
You didnât move an inch. Not a twitch, or a tremor, or a step. Nothing. Because he was right. If David woke up, Michaelâs life would be over. Yours too. Youâre not ashamed to admit it; you love Michael too much to care about a life snuffed out before its time. Hell, you mightâve killed David yourself.
So, you did⊠nothing. You stood there idle, breathless as the soppy slaps of Michaelâs lips and tongue drained David dry. And when he swiftly came in front of youâspat the remaining blood on the ground next to your heels and fixed you with his hungerâyou kissed him.
Open-mouthed, hot, eating him from the inside out. Davidâs blood smearing on your skin, you moaned against Michaelâs sizzling lips, your waist and neck bending as he leaned into you harder. He whined something soft, voice electrifying, just like he sounded all those times before. Even under the leather and the death, he was still your Michael.)
âWhy did you call me here, Mike?â
âYou know why. Youâve known from the start.â
You shake your head, petulant. âNo, nââ
âOh, yeah. Yeah, you do.â He searches your eyes, an endless brown sea of stars, all trapped inside his irises. His brows furrow, and his voice suddenly loses its punch. âI need you with me. I⊠I canât do this, not anymore.â
Your heart stutters. âWhat? Whatâre you talking about?â
He chuckles to himself a bit, but it doesnât reach his eyes. Itâs something broken. âEternity is lonely, and I love you sâso muchâŠâ He sucks in a sharp breath. âI donât want to be alone anymore. I canât.â
Oh⊠âMichael,â you breathe. Every human instinct in you screams to run, but every uneven beat of your heart screams the opposite. He can feel it. The way the blood surges through your veins, the way your breath catches somewhere in your throat, your eyes that trail down his figure youâve memorized by heart.
Fuck. Fuck, fâ
âWhat is it, baby?â he whispers. He might as well have yelled it. The way heâs looking at you makes the hairs on your nape stand tall, a shiver going through your shoulders you have no time to suppress.
You gulp. Eyes trailing down his arms, caressing his veins, falling into the trap of his slender hands. Heâs beautiful everywhere. His pretty face and even prettier eyes, the long curls heâs grown out, his soft-spoken mouth with two fangs sharp enough to kill.
God. You love him so much. You need him. Not just for ten, twenty, thirty, forty years. Not to wilt away while he stays behind, watching you go with every sunset. No. You need to be⊠with him. Through all of it. You fucking need him.
âHow⊠would you do it?â you whisper.
You donât need to specify what âitâ is. His eyes are proof enough he understands exactly what you mean; holding you captive, like snares. You watch the way they darken, how his whole face shifts. It makes need pool deep down your belly. You twitch on the sofa, and he knows.
But you know, too. You can see the way heâs rubbing a hand on his thigh, adjusting in place, breathing a little heavier.
âIâd have to drain you first,â he punches out. One of his fingers traces his own throat in demonstration, sharp nail catching skin and leaving a trail. âIâd bite⊠here,â he stops at the carotid. âAnd,â his finger continues the trail, âhere.â The jugular.
âYeah?â You feel the vessels heâs pointing to galloping, pulsing harshly under your skin, like theyâre getting ready for him. Itâs like you canât breathe properly anymore; the air gets stuck somewhere down your throat, your chest rising and falling in compensation. âAnd then?â
âThenâŠâ He shifts, standing up, stalking towards you. âIâd stop, just before you dieâŠâ
Your neck needs to bend upwards to look him in the eye, eyebrows raising in performance. Youâre eye-to-eye with his crotch, and you push down the urge to rub your cheek against it. You breathe: âOh?â
âMhm,â he hums, looming above you, all dark and handsome and yours. Fuck, youâd missed him. His palm comes up to cup your jaw, thumb softly tracing your bottom lip. âIâd slit my wrist⊠Right over this pretty mouthâŠâ His thumb pushes in, and you take him gladly; tongue swirling around the digit as you huff a moan. It threatens to undo him. âIâIâd⊠Hm. Iâd let you drink from me, as much as my baby needs⊠Yeah?â he asks, voice breaking into a high-pitched breath at the end.
âYou will?â you ask when you release his spit-soaked thumb, giving the digit a kiss.
âYes,â he exhales so hard his whole chest shudders. âI will, girl. Iâll give you every last drop.â
You donât know who lunged first. All you know is that one second heâs looking down at youâmouth gaping as he pants, the heat between your legs spreading like tendrils over your nervesâand the next, youâre kissing.
Kissing is a kind term. Youâre breathing each other in; licking and scraping teeth together like animals, whining against each otherâs open mouths. His hold is bruising on your skin, his body an anchor as he turns you around in his hold.
Back against his lean chest, hips flush, his arm around you as his mouth comes down to your neck with a moan. He doesnât bite, or even nip; heâs breathing you in. It makes you hotter, temperature rising dangerously.
âSweetest thing Iâve ever tasted,â he sighs, words muffled on your skin. âMy girl⊠All mineâŠâ
âDo it,â you heave, bound in his arms. He freezes. âMake me. Right now. Do it, Mikeââ
âBabyââ
His hold lightened, and you used it to turn around again, just as flush as before. You grab him by both cheeks, cradling him in equal parts softly and fiercely. You smile, and it widens when you realise how much the sight undoes him.
âYou were right. Iâve wanted this⊠for a long time.â You lay a peck on his lips, moving back before he has a chance to return it. You remove your blouse with both hands, chest falling and rising deeper with each second more his gaze trails over you. Taking his palm in your hold, you bring it to your pulsing neck, letting his nails softly graze against it. âI trust you.â
Just like youâd told him in Dodger Stadium. The words cleave him in two, lids hooding over his eyes as he nods, leaning down to catch your lips in a wet kiss full of promise.
He lays you down on the big couch, your naked skin meeting the back cushions. He undresses, looming over you like a statue, something from another era entirely. Lean and catastrophically beautiful. The white shirt he wore lands somewhere near the still-whirring cassette recorder, and heâs on you in seconds. Careful hands cradling the back of your neck, kissing you all over as your breathing quickens.
Heâs nervous. âIâve never done this before.â
You giggle nervously. âMe neither.â
It lands just like you wanted it to; makes him chuckle. He meets your eyes, and you suddenly realise his eyes will be the last thing you see. What better a way to die? He breathes: âI love you. I love you so much.â You smile. âSay it back,â he begs.
With a shake of your head, you whisper: âAfter.â
What comes next can best be described as a⊠euphoric daydream. A split-screen montage of ache and pleasure, a film reel of your life the way people say it flashes in your eyes just before you step into the light. You never believed it when they said that. How can so many years fit into so few seconds? How can an entire life of mornings and afternoons and nights all fly by so quickly? How did you get here?
As Michael pierces your fleshâcarotid and jugular throbbing together in thick, hot rivulets you faintly register bathing your skinâyou feel no pain. The ceiling oozes and bends out of shape, your limbs grow numb, and your eyes swim. You moan, but it doesnât sound right in your ears. Like youâre somewhere else, hearing it from a distance. And Michael keeps on drinking; gulping you down, your heart racing to make up for the loss, lips siphoning all of your nearly one-and-a-half gallon of blood out.
Youâre not in Michaelâs house anymore. Youâre six, and your dadâs bought a brand new record player as a gift for your momâs birthday; the one thatâd later end up in your apartment. You jump excitedly as she punches in Abbey Road, and the three of you spend the entire morning dancing to Here Comes The Sun.
Youâre fifteen, and a boyâs broken your heart for the first time. Heâd asked you to the prom as a joke, making you come by his house only to find Donna Taylor dolled up and smushed against him, his parents snapping polaroids of their son and his real date. You were mortified, hardly got out of bed for a week.
Your first day at UC Berkeley. Your fresh start. Your passion. The new friends who didnât give a shit about how you grew up or what you used to be. The endless caffeinated nights slaving away in Eshleman Hall. That small diner close to Sherryâs house youâd all spend your free nights at, gossiping and laughing and talking about the future with greasy fingers. Those Wednesday afternoons spent at the radio station hosting your show with Aisha and Susan, giggling over Michael Jacksonâs vocals on the second verse of The Lady In My Life.
Michael. The Grammys of â84. His room in Hayvenhurst. The tiny mom-and-pop record store close to your apartment youâd both go incognito in and browse for records, even though the teenage girl behind the counter recognized him and swore to keep his secret with her life (as long as he promised to come back). Before he had the courage to kiss you. Before you had the courage to admit you wanted him to.
The memories are brighter now, images swirling and bleeding into one another, to the point where you donât know where one ends and another begins. You see Michaelâs younger face, before he turned, and heâs standing beside you as you were on your first day in Berkeley. You look good together.
You feel featherlight. Eyes drooping andâ
Something warm drips on your lips. You didnât realise before, but a breath was stuck in your throat, lethargic and slow. It punches you straight in the chest on its way out.
Itâs so sweet. Hot and thick, better than anything youâve ever tasted. Like a charged live-wire, you jump up. Things get less blurry, sanguine haze slipping into rhapsodic focus.
Itâs Michaelâs arm, his oozing wrist, his blood youâre gulping down. Youâre so, so hungry. Starving. Like you havenât eaten in years. Your hands wrap around his wrist like an animal, pushing it into your mouth, guzzling down his saccharine blood as it drips past your jaw and down your breasts. You hear him moan, deeply, erotic and charged. You gulp harder and harderâ
He swipes his hand away, and youâre left whining.
âNo,â you cry, whimpering, words slurred like youâre drunk. âIwantmore, Michael, I need moreââ
âIâll give it to you, baby, I will,â he comforts. His hands cradle your face softly, wrist still bleeding, fingers trailing over your forehead and cheeks and lips in awe. âYouâre hereâŠâ
âI love you,â you heave out. His blood is still thick on your tongue. With newfound strength, you overpower him, pushing him back down onto the couch and straddling his lap. He moans as you kiss him, making him taste himself, tongues swiping against each other. You want to eat him up. âIneedit, MâmikeâŠâ
Heâs hard against you, bulge pushing up against his pants, sensitive as your hips start rubbing against him. You feel drunk on it. You lick your own lips, chasing the last sweet remnants of his blood, gulping it down with his spit. Itâs like every single sensation has been dialed up to a million.
He looks like a dream. Breathing heavily, his non-bleeding palm tight on your thigh as you move against him, head hanging back with an open mouth. He brings his wrist up lazily, blood seeping down his forearm, fangs biting his lip with a dangerous smirk.
âYou want it?â he whispers, sharp. You nod feverishly. He hisses: âTake it then. Take what you want, girlââ
He moans so prettily when you take his wrist in your mouth again. A little calmer now, not like youâre starving but rather like youâre savouring. Every hot drop. Youâre wet and aching, rubbing against his hardness, gulping him down as it all swirls into a fucked out bliss you never want to get out of.
You could listen to his sounds forever. You want to. Heâs so breathy and soft, nothing like the men youâve been with before who only grunt like brutes. You suck his wrist a little harder, drop your clothed center a bit firmer, his eyes rolling back as he lets out the most mouth-watering mewl.
He exhales an embarrassed breath a second later, feeling as you smile against his wrist, still drinking. He pulls his hand back, your lips smacking in its absence.
âHow dâyou feel?â he slurs, cupping your cheek.
Forgoing an answer, you drop a hand between your bodies, grinning when he shudders. You rub him over the cloth just like this, need growing stronger the more he falls into you.
You lean down and kiss him, blood and breaths mingling, gasping a small âoh!â in his mouth when you feel those slender fingers sneaking past the hem of your skirt.
Youâre shaking as his fingers make contact with your slick; so cold contrasted with the heat bubbling, exhaling into each otherâs face as you rest your forehead against his. Your hand undoes his zipper, bypasses his underwear and closes around him.
Fuck. Fuck. You missed him so much.
You work him just the way he loves: fingers brushing over the tip, smearing the wetness, squeezing him just so as your grip glides up and down. In return, he works you too: thumb on your clit, rubbing tight circles without missing a single beat, not even when he slips two fingers inside and you falter, moaning in his mouth.
âIt feels so good, MikeâŠâ you hiccup.
âI know,â he whines, âI know, sweet thing⊠Youâre so good fâme⊠Here,â he brings his wrist up, âdrink. Driâaâah, mhhââ
He tastes so fucking good. Is all blood like this? Is it just Michael? You donât know nor do you care, you just need to keep drinking. You hold his lean arm tight against your torso, veined forearm lodged right in-between your breasts, wrist bent as he continues working you to a climax.
He stops his ministrations on you and closes around the hand thatâs sloppily working him, slips his hardness out, single-handedly ripping your underwear in two. Fuck. Fuâ
You shudder when he slaps the tip against your sensitive clit. âMike,â you cry through a full mouth, nearly choking on a gulp. You shove your wrist in his face, brows furrowed, begging: âFuck me.â
The sounds he makes slides over you like hot molasses. And when he slips in, it feels right at home.
His fangs break the skin on your wrist, mirroring your greedy gulps and you move against each other, skin slapping against skin. Heâs everywhere. Everything. Him feeding on you feels as euphoric as it had that very first time, when you were still alive and mortal, fragile in front of the beast. The sensations travel from the puncture wounds and up your arm, tingling and erotic. They mix with the feeling of his dick driving in and out of you until you canât tell where one sensation ends and the other begins.
You make for a sinful sight. Damned. Fucking on his couch, blood dripping down the leather, drinking each other up as youâre steadily shoved towards your peak. You feel it coming suddenly, his arm still held tight between your tits, his wrist limp as you detach your lips from the wound because youâreâ
âMâmikeââ you sob, voice wrecked, âIâm, IâIâmââ
âYeah?â he breathes. He kisses you, hand slipping to your clit, and you come harderâfiercerâthan youâve had in your entire life.
The feeling threatens to drown you all over again. It travels from your bud and up your belly, spreading like tendrils and meeting with the tingling of his mouth thatâs latched to your wrist again. Not drinking now, just kissing. Tiny wet pecks as the skin tries to heal itself, veins throbbing.
It takes a few more desperate bumps of his hips and your fangsâfangs!âteasing his ear for him to cum inside you. He shudders whole, his moans the sweetest thing youâve ever heard, his head falling back and chest rising arrhythmically.
He doesnât pull out, and you donât want him to. Youâre content to lie like this, chest to chest, connected and aching in the best of ways. Still breathing hard, you kiss him on the cheek, and he smiles at you so brightly, tears gather on your lashes. Happy tears.
âMy baby,â he whispers, pretty doe-eyes drifting across your features. He kisses you, just for a second longer than you had. âMy girlâŠâ
âLook!â you giggle, brushing the pad of one finger against a fang, mouth hanging open like an idiot. He laughs. âIâaveâangs now!â
âI love you so much,â he murmurs, âbut you need to rest. Youâre not gonna wake up so happy, trust me.â You hum, smirking, squeezing your walls around his sensitive and softening dick. His hand comes down your ass in a sharp slap, making you smirk wider. âCâmon now, girl,â he smiles, pecking your nose. âDonât start.â
âOkay,â you smile against him.
You spend the rest of the afternoon in bed, resting just like he told you, listening to him explain how most things work now. It makes your head ringâand you have a million and one things you need to figure out and come to terms withâbut none of it mattered for that small window of time you spent cuddled in his bed, all your problems and concerns unable to reach you past the warmth bubbling in your chest.
You died. Michael died. You were both on equal ground now, undead and damned, as you always suspected it was meant to be. Ever since you locked eyes beneath a sea of camera bulbs flashing.
(The night after your turn, you burned the forgotten Sony TC-D5M and the reels inside it. The interview was never going to see the light of day, anyway. He just needed to remind you of something youâd wanted from the start. He had to make you remember. He couldnât stand your absence any longer. That you-shaped emptiness that threatened to stretch out for years while youâd force yourself to move on, leaving a void behind you that couldâve never been filled.
You loved him just as he loved you, and that was rare. Even before he died, heâd never felt it quite like he did with you. Every relationship of his scrutinized or twisted out of context, unable to exist with someone without offering explanations. He didnât have that with you.
Youâre a journalist, you know the ins and outs of the industry, and what you didnât know you learned. Because you were good. With you, he was free to just exist.
So, yeah.
Thatâs the story of how Michael Jackson killed you, and thatâs the end of it. Thereâs nothing else.)

âŻâŻ Â ăâč mean!michael jackson  đ„  đ black woc!reader â±Â  mdni. you are beyond spoiled, bratty, and entitled. lowkey giving michael and his sugar baby. age gap. michael acknowledges his age. brat tamer?michael idk. michael grabs your jaw out of authority. both reader and michael refer to him as daddy (pls don't through rocks at me). no real smut but at the end michael makes you hump his shoe as punishment.
michael is a patient man, an extremely patient one at that. withstanding more than the normal person from years of deliberate work into maintaining appearances. but he knew from the moment i saw you that you'd put him through the ringer. all pout and entitlement paired with big eyes and long lashes that you only have to bat a few times to get michael wrapped further around your finger like a snug ring.
you tested him like no other and pushed your luck far too many times that caused him to a nearly snap. and tonight? oh, tonight was a complete disaster. the two of you showed up late with clear tension, your hands that are usually photograph all snug under michael's side beneath his suit jacket are snug in your crossed arms, a clear rebellion on your part to show everyone that you are not happy to be here right now. while michael has a tight grip on your waist, partially so he can guide you around the event and partially so he can pinch at your waist to remind you to 'wipe that look of your face'. the photographers couldn't even get a proper photo of the couple because you just kept moving your face, using your hair to shield it from the clicks and lights from the camera. even ducking your head into the crook of michael's neck before you full maneuver your body so the photographers are only catching your backside in the photos, which only entices a stoic "behave" from him.
this behavior only carried on throughout the night. huffing and rolling your eyes at conversation, being disengaged and downright disrespectful michael thinks when you continuously cut him off. during a moment alone michael attempts to get you in check again, "you're acting like a child."
his only hope was that you'd realize this little act that you're putting is not to be tolerated, but all he got was a blank stare, "okay, and?" you replied with clear annoyance. the start of you walking away before michael's hold on your waist brings you back into his chest.
"wanna be a disrespectful brat? then i'll treat you like one." all of his patience gone and all of his pent up nerves balled up in the word brat.
and so the two of you left the event, the limo still parked from when you two were dropped because he had requested his driver stay for the duration of the event, already know that you would've pushed him too far to even stay for the entire time. but don't mistake michael, you're still his girl and he's still a gentleman that still opens the door for your and guides you into the backseat of the limo.
what caused you might ask? your dress . . . no serious your dress. makeup had gotten on your dress which caused a domino effect of distress, cries, and into a full blown tantrum from you. not even the large soothing hand of michael's hand rubbing down and up again of the length of your back could cause you to calm down. in fact his reassuring words of how you have a back up dress made it worse. because although you thankfully brought one, you didn't want to wear it, so of course through sobs you spoke incoherently about how you don't want to wear the backup dress, how it's a backup dress for speaking out loud, it's meant to stay as a backup not become the dress. into you babbling about how it's not the vision, how you and michael are no longer going to match and that's your guy's signature.
it got to a point where michael tried. but every time he tried to comfort you a stream of tears only came. so when he look at his watch and saw that there was an hour till the event he ran a hand over his face, "gonna be breathtaking no matter what dress you're wearing," he enthuses, he knows the words are true, but he also knows how you take the material stuff more serious than him. placing a kiss to your temple and walking out of the room, signaling to the crew of people who were getting you ready who were banished by you when the makeup got on your dress to continue their work.
"y'know how much i hate being late." it's the first thing spoken between the two of you since the silent car ride and elevator up to the hotel room. and the comment makes you roll your eyes, something you know you could only be doing because michael unlocked and let you into the room first.
"but my-"
"your dress," michael cuts you off, perfectly in sync with when he turned the lock to the door, "i know all 'bout it, honey."
that, is what ticked you off, his condescending tone. "okay, well you don't have to use that tone with me." stilling in your tacks and turning around just for michael to be right there, taking a small step back.
michael chuckles, darkly, but nonetheless the first real chuckle of the night and it makes your stomach flip because you know it's at you. and you're expecting something from him, a fire back, but he does the worse thing he can do. walk right past you.
gaining your senses and hurriedly following behind him into the bedroom of the hotel and plopping yourself down on the bed, because what he's not going to do is make you look dumb for standing in the hallway all alone.
when you lean down to start undoing the straps of your heels you catch sight of michael undoing his tie with ease with on hand, not only working you up but making you further pissed. "it's not just a dress," said with all pout, the only way you're able to press this argument more is by concentrating on getting your heels off. sitting up and sighing with relief when you kick them off.
"then wha' is it then?" michael asks, stalking towards where you sit at the edge of the bed.
you're eyes shift around the room. you're really grabbing at straws right now. because it is just a dress, you know that, but it's all of the things that unfolded that caused the night to turn out drastically different than you thought it would (albeit to your doing). but all you can think about rather than being rational and sharing this with michael is being the one who wins this argument, if it even is one.
"it's you being inconsiderate."
you royally fucked up. and you know you did from the moment the first word rolled off your tongue, which is exactly why you turned you head to stare out the large hotel window and not into michael's face when you label him as inconsiderate when you know he is the one person farthest from the word.
michael's jaw clenches when that word comes from your lips. your very pretty lips that shine in the dim light of the room from your lip gloss, your very pretty lips that look extra pretty when they're apart as you moan out for him, and look even prettier when they're wrapped around his length to keep you from saying such disrespectful things.
"look at me." it's said with weight, with authority as his voice drops deeper. but you're unmoving. "don' make me have to repeat myself." a shiver runs through your spine, the only movement you made was not to turn and look at him but was to sit up straighter. feeling pathetic that michael compels you this deeply.
a beat of silence follows, and it isn't until your name is said in michael's voice that snaps your head into where he looms right in front of you. because he never says your name. you're baby, or honey, or sweetheart, or princess, or mama. you can really list off all of the nicknames michael uses for you before he ever uses your name to refer to you, not even when he's talking about you to other people does he say your name.
"all it took t'make you listen," he rumbles. still not satisfied that instead of you looking him in the face, your eyes are trained on his abdomen. taking matters into his own hands by grabbing at your jaw with his large hand, fingers pressing into the softness of your cheeks. tipping your head upward so you have other choice but to look him in the face, and michael can't even lie. it takes strength to discipline you, especially when you're staring up at him with your eyes already glazed over.
"when i ask you t'look at me you what?" quizzing you by quirking his eyebrow, expecting you to answer back and pleased when you do.
"look at you." you manage to mutter past michael squishing your cheeks.
michael nods at your words for once, "now tell me wha' makes me so inconsiderate?" except this time he releases your jaw to allow you to properly answer his question, allowing his hand fall down the column of your neck and settle across the base of it just above your clavicle.
you know he's humoring you, but you still answer, just not the way he wanted. "'cus my dress got ruined," pausing to swallow the lump in your throat, you know you're at the point of no return, feeling further on edge at the gentleness at which michael's thumb soothes at the side of your neck, "you saw how upset i was, so we should've just not gone."
michael is surprising calm in this moment, his movements stilled as her glances down at you past his heavy lids. "do i not do enough for you?"
the question is not what you expect, "that's not-"
but just like before, the hand that michael kept in safe distance at the base of your neck raises once more to cup your jaw again. "it's exactly that. 'ave you gone so rotten that y'think i'll no show an event jus' 'cus a dress bought with my money got ruined?" michael proses with restraint that only causes his tone to fall scarily flat.
and for the first time in the night you're left speechless. completely at michael's mercy, much like a lamb caught in the canines of a wolf's. it's the small tap of michael's index and middle finger against your cheek that grounds you, "it was a question, sweetheart."
the use of a nickname causes your eyes to turn from glazed to full blown glassy, tears beginning to swell in your waterline. your mouth opening then closing, because there is nothing, absolutely nothing that you can say to pull yourself out of this. "i-" you start, squirming underneath michael's hard gaze, you don't think there's anything that could pull his attention away from you right now, and you usually relish in that, but now all you want to do is shield yourself from it, "i don't know," is all you can muster out, feeling defeated.
michael's jaw clenches then unclenches, and you swear some of the hardness in his eyes soften over. "think y'jus' love bein' difficult." the hand clasped around you jaw squeezes, your cheeks squishing and lips pouting. "both know i'll give y'the world if y'asked. 'nd we both know i'll buy the entire stock of that damn dress if it made y'happy," he acknowledges, lowering himself down to your eye level, your jaw still in hand, "'m getting old, 'nd my tolerance for this behavior is thinning. so fix it, yeah?"
nodding your head the best you can, "yes, daddy," it comes out meek, but it causes michael to grin from ear to ear. pressing a pack to your pouted mouth before releasing your jaw, standing straight and walking himself over to the armchair in the corner of the hotel bedroom.
when he sits down in the seat he groans, throwing his head back and rolling his neck, letting his eyes fall shut for just a moment. "now c'mere and hump daddy's shoe," said with authority, as the hand that was around your jaw becks you over to him.
rubbing your thighs together and heart pounding into your ears as your eyes trail down the length of michael's relaxed body in the armchair to his sleek black dress shoe, "'nd no touching, so arms behind your back, baby."
