#shy!michael

The Girl Is Mine

You were a pretty popular guitarist. Having been on stage with The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and yes even Prince.

There’s rumors in the arranging world that you could figure anything out. Any type of song that was missing a certain type of groove you laid down a bass track that would make the song perfect. Arranging the instrumentals behind songs like Purple Rain, Just Like Heaven, and Here Comes the Sun.

I know these songs were all released at different times but just pretend they were 1982 and 83ish.

Some might even call you a psychic the way that you can read minds. Someone can give you a shitty description of what they want the guitar to sound like and you execute it perfectly. Let’s just say you were in very high demand.

Fortunately for Michael that’s exactly what he needed. He has specifically blocked out a section in Beat It for a guitar solo, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure it out. He needed some umph. He needed you.

Unfortunately for Michael he’s had a crush on you ever since he saw you on stage at the 1982 American Music Awards. He had fallen head over heels and had made a complete fool of himself attempting to speak to you.

Michael swore he would keep his distance after that, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Summary: Michael gave Luke a soft smile and hesitantly intertwined their fingers, watching Luke’s face for a reaction.

Michael could feel that his hands were kind of sweaty but Luke didn’t seem to mind. If anything his face seemed to light up a little more. He gave Michael’s hands a squeeze and lowered them down to his sides.

“Is this cool?” Michael asked cautiously.

Lessons With Ashton (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance michael/ashton E, 35k

Summary: Michael’s boyfriend, Calum, was coming back after two years at uni and Calum had told him he was looking forward to spend some special time with him. That was when Michael’s best friend, Luke, who thought he was a desperate case, decided Michael needed help and according to him, there was no one better than Ashton for that job. Michael had to learn some exciting things to please his boyfriend and Ashton had to loosen Michael up before his boyfriend’s arrival. That was how Michael found himself in front of the door of a stranger, in order to spice up his sex life, as Luke had put it.

Of Postcards and Love (ao3) - RamblingWithFantasy michael/luke T, 14k

Summary: "Luke, I know you have got a boyfriend and that you're not interested in me, but I need to say it out loud before you go, before I don't see you anymore. Will you let me say it?" Michael pleads uncertainly, other threatening tears ready to be cried like a river. Is he going to be free and forget Luke forever after doing this? Will he open his wings and fly away from his past without Luke?

"You can say it. Whenever you feel like saying it just do it. Once, twice, ten times per day, I don't mind. I'm here for you, okay? Say it whenever you feel it's the right time. I'm not going anywhere until you say it. I'd like to hear those words from you, you know? They are the bravest words someone can say, Michael" Luke tells him softly, standing up from his seat and sitting again, this time dangerously close to Michael.

post-show haziness (ao3) - dancingmalum michael/calum N/R, 1k

Summary: "Come on, Mikey, let's go," Calum said once the elevator doors opened and they were on their floor. Michael tripped over his feet and nearly fell over, but Calum managed to grab him and toss him over his shoulder before he hit the ground.

Calum adjusted Michael on his shoulder better and unlocked their separate room, entering and starting to set Michael down on his bed. Michael clung to his arm, obviously not wanting to let go.

"Mikey, I have to shower, let go," Calum said. Michael didn't answer, he just held on tighter. Calum sighed and took him to the bathroom, lifting him up so he was sitting on the counter. Calum threw off his shirt and jeans, leaving him in boxers, before he started taking Michael's shirt off.

Or; Michael can't focus or do anything by himself sometime and Calum showers with him and it turns into shower sex (whoops).

You're Pretty (Cute) (ao3) - orphan_account michael/luke N/R, 541

Summary: He was too shy to even go over to him, no matter how bad he wanted to.

Michael is an 16 year old with the mindset of a 5 year old who has kitten ears and a tail.

Alyssia loved the park. 

Well, it's not technically a park.

It's simply an open space with a few large oak trees scattered around several benches.  There's one bench in particular that rests in the shade of one of these trees, that Aly really likes. 

And that's where she is now.

The afternoon sun streams through the orange leaves, causing the girl to grin. She removes the small worn songbook from her satchel and opens it to a fresh page. As Alyssia scribbles in the book, a boy peeks around a tree at her.          A red haired, pierced and tattooed boy that comes to the park everyday to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous girl that writes in the tattered notebook.

He wishes he could talk to her...

But guys like him don't talk to girls like her. 

Girls that drink hot tea and feed birds and wear giant soft looking sweaters. 

He'd scare her out of her mind. 

So he contents for hiding behind the giant tree trunk, giggling quietly to himself when she becomes frustrated with her pen. 

"Is someone there?" Alyssia's head snaps up, looking around the desolate park area. The boy stops giggling and holds his breathe. 

"You don't have to be afraid of me..I wouldn't hurt you."

The boy sighs and peeks out from behind the tree, catching Aly's eye. She giggles a bit at his hair color.

She's never seen hair that bright before.

"Why are you hiding? i'm not gonna hurt you!"

"But what if I hurt you?" The boy whispers, pale green eyes focused on the leaves under his black leather boots.

"You won't... come over here." Aly grins and pats the spot on the bench next to her. The boy shuffles over to the bench and plops down next to her. 

"I've seen you here before." The boy blurts after a while.

"Yeah? have you been watching me?" Aly teases and bumps her shoulder with his arm. He's quite tall so she can't exactly reach his shoulder. 

"W-well no, I just um-"

"Relax, relax I'm kidding." Aly giggles and pats the blushing boys knee. A nice silence settles over the teenagers, Aly admiring the now clouded sky as the boy admires her. 

"You're very pretty." He blushes and looks to his feet.

'Oh? Ya think so?" Aly pushes a curtain of wavy hair from her face.

"Um yeah I-yes."

"Well thank you...?"

"Michael. M'names Michael." He smiles bashfully as Alyssia grins.
