beyonce!reader who released the partition music video as her relationship announcement. suggestive content ahead.
"hey everyone! today we're on the set for partition and i'm super excited." you smiled at the camera michael had focused on you, he wanted his own 'behind the scenes' of this iconic moment in the making. "show us what you're wearing baby." michael instructed and you put your hands on your hips, twirling for the camera. "this is my first outfit. we've got this stunning diamond corset, it's really heavy but it makes me super snatched." you explained, looking down at yourself before looking up at michael behind the camera. "this is the sexiest thing i've ever seen." michael whistled, zooming in on the detailed corset you were wearing, making you laugh and look away.
"how long do you think this shoot will take?" michael asked, panning the camera back up to your face, "well, we've hired everything for three days, so i'm hoping we can finish it within those three days." you winced, "but i have a very specific creative vision for this video so i hope everything can just go smoothly."
"it will baby, i know it will." michael softly said, you smiled at him, covering the camera lens as you got closer to him, going on your tiptoes to kiss him. "you know how i know you're excited?" michael asked as you pulled away, moving your hand away from the lens.
"how?" you cocked your head to the side. "you let me kiss you with your stage makeup on." he chuckled, making you laugh. "well we need to practice for our scenes together." you playfully winked, michael laughed, "i don't think the camera knows yet, but i'm going to do my girl the honour of being in the music video." michael explained as you nodded along.
"basically, this is gonna be the public's first time seeing us together." you summarised, an excited grin on your face. "let's hope it all goes well." michael chuckled, you shrugged, "why wouldn't it?"
"our first time being seen together includes you in lingerie, us making out and touching on each other before you then dancing on a pole for me." michael winced, "it's definitely one way to announce a relationship."
"chill out, it's called art." you sarcastically said, making michael chuckle behind the camera.
it was day two of filming and it was finally time for you and michael to do your scenes together. you stood on set with your red bottom heels, in a black trench coat and almost nothing underneath. "action!" the director called out before partition started playing. you posed infront of the camera as a black car slowly pulled up behind you, its tail lights accentuating your figure.
the car came to a stop and you slowly unbuttoned the coat, revealing a set of black lingerie underneath. the car door opened and out came michael in a black suit. you fought hard to stay in character and fight off the smile that wanted to grow on your face.
the next scene involved both of you in the car. once the director called action again you latched yourself onto michael's neck, his hands ran down your leg before he burst into a fit of giggles and the director called out cut.
"michael, you can't laugh!" you whined, sitting back in your seat the makeup crew rushed over to fix your lipstick and wipe the stains of michael's neck. "i'm sorry, i'm sorry angel, it's just so weird doing this in front of an audience." michael laughed, covering his mouth as the laughter flowed out.
you rolled your eyes at him and once he eventually calmed down everyone got back into their positions. "we ready?" the director asked, but everyone knew the question was mainly directed at michael. "yeah, we're good."
once the cameras started rolling again and your cue came, you draped one of your legs over michael, kissing his cheek then his neck. from the corner of your eye you could see the camera right infront of you and you couldn't help but to giggle, you pulled away from michael, shielding your face in embarrassment and when he saw you laughing, he couldn't help but to burst into his own fit of laughter. "cut!" the director called out again, a small smile on his face as he watched the two of you childishly laugh. yet again, the makeup crew rushed over to fix your lipstick and wipe the lipstick stains of michael's neck.
"michael! you can't laugh!" you said through laughter, michael covered his face as he tilted his head back, "it's your fault, you were laughing!"
"the camera was right next to me, what was i meant to do?" you giggled and michael shook his head, exasperated. "okay, seriously this time. third times the charm."
you let out a breath, preparing yourself. "just keep your eyes shut." michael pointed at you, you smiled and nodded, getting back into position.
once your cue came again, you leaned over, kissing michael's neck as his hands trailed up your thigh and reached across to grab your ass. the camera grew closer to you and you opened your trench coat further, michael's hands trailed up to grab the underside of your boobs before turning and kissing you fiercely, you two made out for a few seconds before the director yelled out, "cut!"
you hesitantly pulled away from michael, covering your face in embarrassment. "we are definitely making a statement with that one." michael chuckled.
when partition came out - it sent waves throughout the media. everyone was surprised to see you release such a lewd song. since the music video was deemed explicit, mtv and other music stations could only stream the song after nine pm.
but what they were even more surprised to see was michael jackson in the video. it became an argument whether you and michael were acting or if this was a real moment caught on camera.
what the song also helped to do was eliminate any rumours regarding michael as gay or asexual.
"did you see the way he was looking at her? that man ain't gay, he's just very down bad for one woman and one woman only!" one magazine said, they had described partition as a taboo yet ground breaking, iconic moment in pop culture.
and when you were asked about it a week later in an interview to promote your song and upcoming album?
"so, you and michael? can we get an official statement from you regarding your relationship status with him?"
you playfully rolled your eyes, "me and michael are just friends." you jokingly said, laughing when the interviewer raised a sceptical eyebrow at you, "no, i'm just teasing. michael and i are very much in love. sorry ladies." you winked at the camera teasingly.
