💀 Mayhaps flayed mike 👀
dark/violent sentence starters // accepting
dinner with his sisters and barb is really nothing out of the ordinary, as far as he can tell. while his parents are out, the two older girls took it upon themselves to cook for the four of them. the food is good, the company is nice, but something seems off. mostly barb’s behavior, but he supposes a lot about her has been unusual since she came back from the upside down.
mike tries to shake the suspicious feeling off, but he just can’t. she’s been eyeing him all night, as if waiting for something to happen. “ what? ” he asks a bit irritably, furrowing his eyebrows at the redhead. “ you’ve been staring at me all night. ” and then it hits him—his head feels light, but he somehow struggles to hold it up. like he’s tired—no, absolutely fatigued; he’s going to pass out.
glancing down at his glass of tea, he realizes it did taste a bit funny to him, but he has just assumed that maybe it was a tad scorched. he was the one to make it, after all. “ did you put something in my drink? ” his voice is laced anger, resentment. it’s happening now, he can feel it taking over—both whatever drug they gave him and the flayer. he attempts to stand up, but fumbles a bit before holding himself up by his arms. “ what did you do to me? ”
gaze shifting to nancy, his face softens despite her acting completely unfazed by this. she was obviously in on the whole thing, but he’ll pretend as if he doesn’t know this. “ nancy, please—i don’t— ” his legs’ strength gives out and he falls back into his chair, practically slumped over onto the table. it’s too frustrating to hold himself up and act like the young, innocent michael they both know and love.
“ you fucking bitch! ” he hisses at nancy, causing the smaller human to begin crying. eyes move towards barbara, he vaguely remembers her in the upside down. “ you! ” he juts a finger lazily in her direction as he begins to lose all control of his limbs. “ i’ll… kill you! ” his eyelids become heavy as he mumbles something else. without another sound, or word, his entire body falls limp, hitting the ground with a hard thud.
