michael jackson x f!reader ââââŕ¨ŕ§ââââ ⥠wc: 4.3k
synopsis: childhoodbsf!mj and reader in a hot tub... what can go wrong? (or right :D)
cw: smut, switch!michael, hot tub sex, dry humping, dirty talk, praise, tensionnn, mutual pining, michael jackson being a whimperer (surprise), creampie
based off bad!era mj but any era works (i think)
the hot tub lights cast soft blue ripples across the water, reflecting against the stone around the edge of the patio. the early summer night air brushed against your damp skin coolly in contrast to the heat of the water, while music drifted faintly from somewhere inside the house. overhead, the sky was dark and cloudless, a soft breeze moving through the otherwise still night.
michael leaned back nearby with his arms resting along the edge of the hot tub, curls damp around his face, while he watched you with obvious amusement.
âyou know,â he said casually, brushing wet curls back from his forehead, âfor somebody always talkinâ big, you scare real easy.â
you looked over immediately. âi do not.â
michael laughed softly under his breath.
youâd known michael long enough to recognize that exact look in his eyes before he even said anything else. the one that usually meant he was about to annoy you on purpose.
the two of you had been attached at the hip since childhood. your families blurred together so often growing up that half your memories included michael somewhere in the background of them â sitting beside you at family parties, showing up to your house unannounced (and vice versa), dragging you outside in the middle of summer evenings because he was bored and wanted company. somewhere along the way, physical closeness had stopped meaning much between you years ago.
hugs.
leaning against each other.
holding hands.
cuddling while watching movies.
being close to michael had never required thought.
leaves rustled softly in the night breeze.
michaelâs eyes suddenly shifted past your shoulder.
the teasing look on his face faltered, his mouth flattening slightly as his attention fixed on something behind you.
ââŚwait.â
you narrowed your eyes at that. âmichael.â
âno, seriously.â his brows furrowed now while he stared harder behind you. âwhat is that?â
you rolled your eyes.
âi hate you.â
âiâm serious,â he insisted, though the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. âright there.â
you turned your head despite yourself.
your eyes scanned once. twice. nothing.
you started turning back toward him with an unimpressed look already formingâ
michael lunged forward suddenly with both his hands toward the water behind you.
a startled squeal escaped you as you grabbed onto him on pure reflex, your arms wrapping tightly around his shoulders while you nearly climbed halfway up him in a panic.
michael burst into loud laughter. bright and boyish.
âoh my god!â you gasped out, still clutching him while he laughed harder against your shoulder. âyou are actually evil.â
âit was funny!â he argued through laughter.
âit was not funny!â
you smacked his shoulder lightly, trying not to laugh and failing miserably once his laughter got worse.
michaelâs laughter had always been contagious. it was impossible to stay mad at him for long when he was laughing like that.
âyes it was,â he grinned. âyou shouldâve seen your face.â
âyou practically climbed into my lap,â he added.
âi trusted you!â
âthatâs your own fault.â
âoh my god, shut up.â
another laugh escaped you before you could stop it.
michael pointed at you instantly.
âsee? youâre laughinâ now.â
you groaned dramatically, letting your forehead fall briefly against his shoulder while his laughter softened into quieter little giggles beneath his breath.
eventually, both your breaths started to settle.
except neither of you moved apart.
your arms still rested loosely around his shoulders. michaelâs hands still held your waist below the surface.
comfortable. normal.
well, it shouldâve felt normal.
instead, the silence that settled between you suddenly feltâŚheavy somehow.
different.
your forehead still rested lightly against michaelâs shoulder while the water moved softly around you both, rippling between your bodies.
neither of you spoke.
you could feel michael breathing now.Â
not just the movement of his chest beneath your hands, but the actual rhythm of it. slow at first, then slightly uneven when you shifted subconsciously closer.
his hands tightened around your waist. small. almost unnoticeable.
except you noticed it immediately.
your brows pulled together faintly.
slowly, you lifted your head from his shoulder.
michael was already looking at you.
the patio lights reflected faintly in his eyes while water dripped from the curls hanging around his forehead. his expression had gone strangely still now, his hands warm where they rested against your waist.
neither of you moved apart.
youâre not sure why.
usually moments like this broke naturally on their own. one of you would laugh. tease the other. splash water. say something stupid.
instead, michael just kept looking at you.
your eyes flicked down toward his mouth before you could stop yourself.
bad idea.
because the second your gaze dropped, michael noticed. his brows pinched for a fraction of a second.
then, before you could really process it, michael looked away first.
his jaw flexed.
you felt his throat move against your arm when he swallowed.
ââŚchrist,â he muttered quietly under his breath.
heat crawled slowly up your neck. you swallowed once before forcing out, âwhat?â
michael shook his head once, almost like he was trying to clear it.
ânothinâ.â
his voice sounded lower now. rougher.
the water shifted softly around you both when you adjusted yourself, your legs brushing against hisâ
michael inhaled sharply.
the sound froze you.
oh.
your heartbeat stumbled hard in your chest.
because suddenly you could feel it too.
the reaction pressed unmistakably against your thigh.
heat rushed instantly to your face.
michael went still beneath your hands.
for a second, neither of you said anything.
michael laughed quietly under his breath, though it sounded more embarrassed than amused now. one hand came up to cover his face as he looked away.
ââŚ.mâsorry,â he murmured.
your brows pulled together slightly.
of course he was apologizing. that was so michael.
when heâs struggling to keep himself composed, he still sounded more concerned about crossing a line than anything else.
you'd be lying if you said his reaction to you wasn't turning you on.
 ââŚ.donât apologize,â you breathed.
michael looked at you. his curls hung damp against his forehead now, water dripping slowly down the side of his neck while his hands stayed fixed carefully at your waist like he didnât trust himself to move them anywhere else.
he looked away again, exhaling sharply through his nose, almost like a disbelieving laugh at himself.
âjust... give me a second,â he murmured. "it'll go away."
michael took slow, controlled breaths like he was genuinely trying to calm himself down.
then before you could overthink it, the words slipped out softly.
ââŚ.do you want me to help you?â
michaelâs eyes shut briefly while a quiet breath escaped him, almost strained. unfortunately for him, the boner he'd been trying so hard to kill came back tenfold.
one of his hands slid higher instinctively along your waist before stopping there hard enough to make your pulse jump.
âiââ
he cut himself off.
his head tipped back slightly instead, exposing the long line of his throat while he stared up toward the sky for a second like he was physically trying to pull himself together.
it only made him look worse.
or better.
no definitely better.
water glided slowly down the column of his neck while his chest rose unevenly beneath your hands.
finally, michael looked back at you again. wrecked.
he swallowed once before replying quietly, âyou donât have to do anything.â
your heart hammered painfully against your ribs.
âi know,â you whispered.
âiâm asking if you want me to.â
for a second, michael just stared at you.
then slowly, his forehead dropped forward until it rested gently against your temple.Â
his eyes closed.
his lashes brushed softly against your skin.
the flush along his neck had darkened now, spreading toward his jaw while his breathing stayed uneven against you.
when he finally spoke, his voice came out rough and quiet.Â
ââŚiâm a gentleman.â
your chest tightened at the sound of it.
the words seemed to hang between you for a moment.
slowly, you lifted one hand from his shoulder, cradling his face gently until he looked at you again.
his eyes were dark now.
unfocused almost.
still trying so hard to hold himself together for you.
your thumb brushed lightly against his cheek before you leaned in just enough to press a soft kiss against the corner of his mouth.
michael inhaled sharply, head tilting instinctively to chase your lips.
then he was kissing you properly.
one hand slid up the side of your neck as he pulled you closer, the kiss hard and messy, like heâd been trying not to do this for far too long.
your noses bumped awkwardly together between breaths, both of you laughing softly into the kiss before it melted right back into something hotter.
michael bit gently at your bottom lip, tugging it between his teeth.
a soft sound escaped you before you kissed him again.
his hand dragged back down your body until it settled low on your waist, fingers spreading carefully just above your ass.
careful and still hesitant. you could feel it.
your hands slid down his arms slowly until they covered his, guiding them lower.
michael broke the kiss at that.
the sound you let slip when his hands finally squeezed your ass made his head drop against yours.
âyouâre gonna kill me,â he muttered breathlessly.
you pushed your hips closer against his.
michael let out a shaky breath as your hands slid up the back of his neck, fingers catching slightly at the damp curls near his nape.
when he kissed you again, it felt almost desperate now.
like he physically couldnât stop himself for more than a few seconds at a time. his nose bumped softly against yours between kisses while his hands tightened around your body, guiding you higher on his lap beneath the bubbling water.
the pressure of his hips against yours pulled a gasp from your throat.
your fingers tightened instinctively at the base of his curls as you broke away from the kiss for air.
âmichaelââ
he kissed the corner of your mouth before you could finish saying his name, breathing hard enough now that you could feel it against your skin.
âi know, baby, i knowâ he murmured softly.
you nuzzled your face into the crook of his neck. he smelled like chlorine and the faint traces of his cologne, warm amber and soft florals mixing with the heat of his damp skin.
michaelâs hands guided your hips against his beneath the water, the movement slow at first before his restraint started slipping little by little.
soft sounds escaped you against his neck while michaelâs breathing turned rough near your ear, his grip tightening every time you pressed closer to him.
âbabyâŚâ he breathed, almost strained now.
the name sent warmth blooming low in your stomach.
this was the first time heâd ever called you that, and you loved the way it sounded coming from him.
his groans started mixing with the breathier moans spilling from your lips as his hands squeezed more firmly at your backside, the bubbling water sloshing harder around you both as he buried his face against your shoulder.
every slow drag of your hips only made the ache low in your stomach worse.
but it still wasnât enough.
you needed more of him.
âwant more,â you whined softly against his neck.
michaelâs hips stuttered against yours at the sound of your voice, a quiet groan escaping him.
âyeah?â he murmured breathlessly, pulling back just enough to look at you properly.Â
strands of damp hair clung messily near your cheeks while your lips looked swollen from kissing, slightly parted every time another shaky breath slipped out of you. your eyes were glossed over.
you looked completely ruined.
just for him.
âiâll give my sweet girl whatever she wants,â he said lowly, with a rasp slipping into his voice.
something about hearing him say it made your thighs press tighter around him. if michael noticed, he didn't mention it.
âanything she asks for.â he added.
âanything?â you responded in a whisper.
michaelâs eyes stayed fixated on yours for a second before he repeated it quieter this time.
âanything.â
your stomach tightened hard at the sound of that.
âwant you inside me,â you whispered sweetly, your hips pressing against his again at the thought of him giving it to you.
michael bit down on his lip, a crooked smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.
you sounded so desperate for him.
and god was he just as desperate for you.
maybe worse.
even now, with your body pressed against his and his restraint hanging by a thread, he still tried to collect himself before he spoke again.
because he was a gentleman.
or at least he was trying very hard to be one.
âgo on, take what you want,â he murmured roughly.
your hands immediately reached for the waistband of his swim shorts, tugging them down enough to free his dick.
though you couldn't see much through the bubbling water, you felt him. his warmth, his thickness, his length.Â
the weight of him against your hand alone made your breath catch.
michael groaned softly under his breath, his head falling briefly against your shoulder while his hands tightened instinctively along your thighs.
you shifted carefully onto your knees to give him room while he pulled your swim bottoms aside.
the feeling of him brushing against your bare pussy made you arch into him.
âfuckâŚâ michael hissed quietly, breathing turned heavier near your ear as his hands slid lower along your thighs to steady you.
your face buried closer into the crook of his neck while another broken sound escaped you.
âmichaelâŚâ your voice cracked softly.
the slow push of his tip alone already had your head spinning. he barely gave you room to breathe.
âfuuck, baby,â he groaned into your shoulder, dragging the words out low and strained. âyouâre so fucking tight.â
you nuzzled closer into his neck with a shaky whimper.
âsâtoo big, michaelâŚâ you hiccuped softly.
you were ruining him.
the way your voice broke at just the tip being inside you was doing something dangerous to his self-control.
âshh, itâs okay, baby,â he murmured gently, one hand stroking your damp hair.
his other hand slid lower against your thigh before tightening carefully at your hip.
"tell me if it hurts," he murmured, lips brushing softly against your temple.
then he started easing you down onto him properly.
slow.
your mouth dropped open at the stretch as he lowered you inch by inch, his grip firm enough to guide you while still giving you time to adjust. every small movement made another uneven breath leave your lips.
the heat of the water around you only made everything feel more overwhelming. his cock felt impossibly warm inside you, thick enough that each inch made your body tense before slowly relaxing around him.
michaelâs forehead pressed against yours as he watched every reaction on your face.
âthatâs it,â he whispered hoarsely. âdoinâ so good for me.â
another inch.
your fingers tightened against his shoulders, a soft moan escaping before you could stop it.
his own breathing was wrecked, rough against your skin while his hands trembled slightly where they held you.
like he was using every bit of control he had not to lose patience and pull you down all at once.
instead, he kept guiding you carefully.
letting you feel every inch.
the stretch burned for a second before melting into warmth, your body slowly yielding around him while soft broken whimpers left your throat.
âfuck,â michael groaned quietly, eyes squeezing shut for a second. âyou feel so fucking good.â
you buried your face deeper into his neck as another wave of fullness hit you.
then finally your hips settled flush against his.
both of you gasped at the same time.
michaelâs head fell back against the edge of the tub with a low groan while his hands gripped your hips hard enough to leave marks.
âholy shitâŚâ he breathed.
you could barely think.
he felt everywhere. warm and deep and overwhelming, filling you so completely that all you could do was sit there for a second trying to breathe through it.
his hands softened again, thumbs rubbing slow circles against your hips.
âyou okay?â he asked quietly, though his voice still sounded wrecked.
you nodded weakly against him.
âmhmâŚâ
a small smile pulled at michaelâs lips before he kissed the side of your head gently.
âgood girl.â
you almost sobbed at the praise. his voice alone could make you cum.
michael stayed there for a second, just holding you against him while both of you tried to recover from the feeling.
his chest rose against yours, shaky breaths fanning across your skin while his hands stayed fixed carefully at your hips like he still couldnât believe this was real.
then slowly, he rolled his hips upward once.
the movement was shallow.
experimental.
but the drag of him inside you still pulled a broken moan straight from your throat.
michael actually whimpered at that, the sound muffled against your skin, before a strained groan followed right after.
âfuckâŚâ
his grip tightened.
âthat okay?â he asked quietly, his own voice already sounding completely gone.
you nodded quickly before heâd even fully finished asking.
âplease,â you whispered.
his mouth crashed against yours again while his hips rolled into you harder this time, deeper, the movement making the water slosh violently around both of you until it spilled over the edge of the hot tub, soaking the concrete.
your fingers tangled tighter into the damp curls at the back of his neck as he kept rocking you against him slowly, every thrust deep enough to make your stomach tighten.
he couldnât seem to stop kissing you between breaths.
messy kisses.
desperate ones.
little broken sounds slipping from his mouth every single time you clenched around him.
âyou feel so fucking good,â he breathed shakily. âchrist, babyâŚâ
his restraint kept slipping in pieces.
each movement growing rougher than the last, your body meeting his like you both couldn't stop chasing the feeling.
you moaned again. soft and breathless right against his mouth.
âyeah?â he rasped. âthat feel good?â
you could barely answer â or could barely hear him, to be honest.
the way he was making you feel left your head completely fuzzy. every deep drag of him inside you made your thoughts melt together until all you could focus on was him.
when you didnât respond, he tugged you down harder onto him.
a high moan tore from your throat instantly. a sound you wouldâve never thought youâd be capable of making.Â
and if michael wasnât fucking you so good, you probably wouldâve been embarrassed by it.Â
he pulled back just enough to look at your face, watching your expression.
âtell me.â
it didn't sound demanding.
if anything, it sounded like something he needed to hear.
ây-yesââ you gasped helplessly. âyes, yes, feels so goodââ
he leaned closer to your neck and started kissing, sucking, biting, leaving marks all over your neck.Â
michael cursed softly under his breath at the feeling of you clenching around him.
âshit, baby⌠youâre squeezinâ me so tight.â
all you could do was moan as he dragged your hips down onto him through another deep thrust that made your entire body jolt.
the praise only made the heat low in your stomach tighten harder.
another soft whine slipped from your throat before you could stop it, your face burying deeper into his neck out of instinct.
michael groaned at the sound.
âthose sexy fucking soundsâŚâ
his hips rolled up into yours again, harder this time, and your grip on him tightened hard enough to sting.
one of his hands slid up your body, long slender fingers brushing teasingly against your chest before nudging your swimsuit top up just enough for your breasts to spill out. the cooler night air nipping at your damp skin.
"so perfect." he breathed.
he leaned in, his mouth closing around your left nipple with a slow, warm suck that pulled a breath from your lungs. at the same time, the knuckles of his other hand dragged against your stomach, your ribs, the underside of your breasts, teasing every inch of sensitive skin on the way up. he cupped your breast, squeezing gently before rolling your nipple between his fingers in time with the slow pull of his mouth.
every suck, every soft bite, every flick of his tongue had your body arching into him.
you couldnât hold the sounds back anymore.
every thrust of his hips pulled another sound out of you.
little whimpers.
broken moans.
breathy gasps right against his ear.
âfuck,â he groaned softly into your skin, almost dazed. âkeep makinâ those sounds for me, baby.â
you couldnât stop even if you wanted to.Â
his mouth shifted to your other breast with a worn groan while his hand slipped lower between your bodies.
the second his thumb brushed against your clit, your entire body jerked in his arms.
âoh my godââ
the cry that left you was loud enough to echo slightly off the stone around the hot tub.
âmm, that it?â he rasped, thumb circling you again with shaky desperation. âthat what you needed, baby?â
you nodded helplessly against him, barely able to breathe properly now.
the feeling of him thrusting up into you while his thumb rubbed slow, messy circles against your clit was too much all at once.
your thighs started trembling around his waist.
âmichael, please.â
âi know,â he breathed quickly. âi got you. i got you.â
he kept thrusting into you deep and slow, but the rhythm was getting sloppier every second. like he physically couldnât focus anymore with the way you kept whining against him.
âfuckâŚâ he groaned softly. âyouâre so sensitive.â
another moan tore out of you when his thumb pressed a little harder.
every little movement pulled another noise from your throat.
your eyes kept fluttering closed from the overwhelming sensation while michael watched your face completely unravel for him, his own expression looking just as gone.
âlook at me, baby. câmon,â he breathed softly.
your eyes fluttered back toward him.
the second michael saw the tears gathering along your lashes from how overwhelming everything felt, something in him completely snapped.
âfuckââ
his forehead dropped against yours with a groan so deep it almost sounded painful.
his thrusts lost what little rhythm they had left after that.
harder now.
messier.
his hands gripping your hips almost desperately while he kept kissing you between breaths like he couldnât get enough.
âclose?â he rasped against your mouth.
all you could do was nod frantically.
your fingers clutched desperately at his shoulders as another wave hit you.
it was too much.
his mouth on your neck.
his thumb rubbing against you perfectly.
the way he kept filling you so deep every time his hips snapped upward.
your thighs started shaking hard around his waist.
âi-iâm gonnaââ
âlemme feel it, baby,â michael interrupted, voice breaking. he sounded completely gone. "please..."
a soft curse slipped from him the second your body tightened around him.
âthatâs it,â he groaned. âgood girl⌠fuck, thatâs it.â
his thumb moved faster.
messier now.
like he was getting desperate too.
the pressure finally snapped.
your whole body jolted against him with a broken cry, your face burying into his shoulder while your body tightened hard around him, nails scratching at his back.
michael groaned loudly at the feeling, his hips stuttering completely for a second.
âshitââ
your vision blurred from how overwhelming it felt, soft little sobs and moans getting caught in your throat while wave after wave kept hitting you.
michael fucked you through all of it, one arm wrapped tightly around your back while his forehead pressed against your shoulder.
âfuckâŚâ he groaned shakily. âatta girl.â
then quieter, almost like the words slipped out accidentally.
âbeen wantinâ this so bad.â
you clenched around him hard at the confession.
michael groaned hard, head tipping back against the edge of the hot tub.
his lips brushed against your jaw when he looked back at you again, expression completely wrecked.
âyou donât even realize what you do to me sometimes,â he breathed shakily.
âbeen tryinâ so hard to be good.â
another deep thrust made your breath catch.
âevery time you bend over during those stupid twister gamesâŚâ he groaned softly. âor prance around in those tiny little swimsuitsâŚâ
âhonestly so mean of you.â
another broken groan slipped from him right after, his face burying deeper into your neck like he was trying to hide there.
little strained sounds kept leaving him every few seconds while his hips lost what little rhythm they had left.
âcanâtââ he choked out softly. âfuck, babyâŚâ
his grip tightened almost painfully at your hips before he finally buried himself deep inside you with a whine, warm spurts of cum filling you as his whole body went tense against yours.
you could feel him shaking slightly while he held you close, breathing unevenly against your skin as the water settled softly around both of you again.
the aftershocks rolled softly through both of you, fading little by little into soft tremors.
the world around you felt silent except for the sounds of bubbling water and uneven breathing.Â
slowly, you pulled back just enough to look at him properly again, your arms still resting loosely around his shoulders.
his curls were a mess.
lips swollen.
flushed all the way down his neck.
and the completely blissed-out look on his face made something warm burst in your chest.
the second michael noticed you staring, a breathless laugh slipped from him, his teeth catching briefly against his bottom lip when his grin widened.
you laughed too.
because somehow, even after all of that, the two of you still ended up the same way you always did.
Summary: Youâd always admired him and knew he was a perfectionist. But when you start working with him, he loses sight of how far heâs pushing you, and you lose sight of why you loved to dance in the first place.

Michael was dreading rehearsal before he even left the house. He was expecting for you not to show up, or for you to show up but sit out, or for someone to tell him you called in sick. He saw the limp, he knew he wasnât imagining things. But what happened was the last thing he was expecting.
You showed up, as if nothing had happened, determination all over your face. Though you were feeling everything but. Your ankle was messed up. You knew it was sprained, and you knew you shouldâve been staying off of it. But, of course, you werenât. Yes, youâd gone home after the mishap, but were doing just about anything but resting. You decided to go over that same routine in which youâd fallen, hitting that same sharp jump and spin that had made everything crumble, practicing and perfecting it. But your ankle was punishing you now for it.
You had wrapped it in bandages as tight as you could, in hopes of being able to push through rehearsal, but it still hurt bad. Your limp was still there, but not apparent to anyone not paying attention. Unfortunately for you, Michael was paying so much attention. Your limp was pretty apparent to him, and had only confirmed what he already knew. What really caught him off guard, was when he watched you start to rehearse with your fellow dancers. He knew you shouldnât be dancing like that.
In your mind, he should be happy. You were perfect in your dancing now, not letting there be any room for mistake. Your movements were careful but also looked loose enough that it didnât look like you were in pain. But you were, in so much pain you had to choke back yelps and tears.
Michael was trying his best to keep quiet, after him snapping at you he understood the last thing you'd probably want is to talk to him, but then he saw it. You didn't trip, and again it wouldn't be obvious if he hadn't been paying so much attention. But you stumbled, and he saw the slightest wince on your face, and that was when he decided he couldn't stay quiet.
He called your name, softly and different from the tone he'd had with you the past couple of rehearsals. You did a double take, not initially processing that he was calling out to you. "Yeah?" If he wasn't intently watching and listening to you, he wouldn't have heard your quiet and soft response.
"Are you alright?" He asked, signaling towards your ankle. You put on a shaky smile, one that didn't reach your eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine," you responded, doing your best to sound genuine. "It's just yesterday-"
You don't know why but you couldn't let him continue, you knew he was trying to make up for his behavior, but for some reason you were over it. "I said I'm fine." It came out a bit harsher than you'd intend, but you had to put your foot down. His eyes widened a bit, not having expected that from you. He just nodded and decided to back off. Maybe you were fine, and you had every right to be angry at him after everything. So he decided to back off for a bit, give you some time.
Rehearsal came to a halt pretty soon, half of it being over with already. But to you, the break couldnât come sooner, your ankle was killing you. You couldnât wait to finally get the weight and pressure off of it. You found a quiet and dark corner backstage, away from everyone, before carefully taking off your shoe and peeling off your sock. Nearly your whole foot and ankle were bandaged up, thanks to you that morning.
You carefully unclipped the bandage and started unwrapping it, feeling the throbbing in your ankle get worse and worse as the pressure from the bandage finally let up. You winced quietly, seeing how swollen and purple your ankle had gotten. When you finally got the entire bandage off, you let out a breath, though you werenât sure if it was of relief or of pain. You closed your eyes and prayed you could make it through the last half of rehearsal.
Your praying was cut short when you heard a sharp gasp from your side. Your eyes shot open, and there he was. Michael, holding two water bottles, sweat still clinging to him from rehearsal. He was looking at your ankle, and he couldnât seem to be looking away. You panicked, and frantically tried to rewrap the bandage around your ankle. âItâs fine, itâs nothing.â
The way you tried to brush it off as nothing made Michaelâs heart ache, knowing it was his fault this happened in the first place. If he hadnât been so harsh on you, you wouldnât feel the need to power through something like this. In your fast and frantic movements, he realized your wrapping was anything but neat. So he carefully stepped forward and put his hand on your arm, making you freeze.
âCan I..?â Was all he whispered out. You hesitated looking between your ankle and his face. Eventually you nodded, and he smiled softly. He handed you one of the water bottles and settled the other one on the floor next to him where he was now kneeling. He carefully undid your messy wrapping before carefully wrapping it again. âI came looking for you, was watching you the entire rehearsal. I could tell something was wrong. Why would you dance on it like this?â He muttered, keeping his eyes trained on what he was doing. His voice was soft, and dripping with what you could only assume was concern. âI didnâtâŚâ you started, but your voice died out. âYou didnât..?â
Michaelâs eyes were now on you, as he softly held your ankle. The look in his eyes was so soft, completely different from how heâd been looking at you these past few weeks, at least when you were looking. You werenât sure if you could tell him what was wrong, but the look in his eyes convinced you.
âI didnât want to disappoint you,â you whispered, and that gutted Michael. His breath hitched and he looked at you like youâd broken his heart. He closed his eyes and let his head down, letting out a heavy sigh. He gathered his thoughts before finally explaining himself.
âLook, I know Iâve been hard on you, and I realize now how harsh my approach was. But you could never disappoint me. Your dancing and your energy captivated me from the moment I saw you, I just wanted to push you to your best, and I see now that I was completely wrong in how I did that.â You could hear your heartbeat and feel it even in your fingertips. Hearing Michaelâs reasoning was leaving you confused but also shocked, he thought you were great. âPlease, sit out for the rest of the rehearsal, and the next two.â Your face fell at his words, and Michael panicked to reassure you.
âJust until you heal! I promise. You can still show up and watch, I just- I want you to properly heal, please?â His voice was full of desperation, he really wanted to fix this with you and he knew the first step was to help you heal from your injury. You nodded softly, letting out a soft smile. âOkay,â you whispered, this time a very different tone than when he snapped at you.
âOkay.â He whispered back, softly letting your ankle down now that he was done wrapping it.
For the rest of rehearsal, you sat in the audience with your ankle perfectly bandaged and elevated, due to Michaelâs instructions. You watched with a soft smile, as Michael directed and redirected your fellow dancers. This entire thing felt like a huge step forward, knowing now what Michael truly thought of you.
After the rehearsals Michael made you sit out of, you felt the need to get back up on your feet, literally. Your ankle still hurt, although it healed a bit, and Michael had asked you to continue to sit out if you didn't feel like your ankle was ready. But you had to get out there.
So you fastened your shoelaces backstage and stood up determined to get back to work. When you fully stood up though, the severity of your injury made itself known, you winced slightly, feeling the pinching from putting your weight on your ankle. You were about to ignore it and head out to the stage, when you heard Michael's voice.
"Don't." He had been watching you the entire time, and caught the way you'd winced. "Don't what?" You asked, confused. "Don't try to pretend it doesn't hurt, I could see you thinking about it." His voice was gentle and sure, not harsh anymore, or demanding. Just sure. "I wasn't," you muttered, though you couldn't keep eye contact with him as your face warmed. Michael gave you a look, knowing enough that it made your throat tighten. He stepped closer to you, raising a hand slowly so not to scare you, and softly cupped your cheek. His thumb rubbed softly along your cheekbone. "I wasn't going to snap at you." He whispered, before continuing, "and I hate that you don't believe that."
That seemed to do it for you. Tears started stinging in your eyes before you had the chance to fight against them. "I did that, I made you feel like you had to hide and protect yourself from me." The softness in his voice finally made the tears you were trying to fight back fall, his thumb moving to wipe them away. "Please, no, don't." He whispered, the quivering in his voice evident. "I'm fine," you muttered, moving to wipe the tears away. "Don't say that to me right now," his face showed the evidence of his pain, of how much it hurt to see what he'd done to you.
"I just wanted to be good enough," you kept looking at your hands, but he tilted your head to make you look at him. "You were always good enough. More than good enough. I was the one who wasn't acting right, and I'm sorry. God, I'm so sorry." He pulled you into his embrace, making you gasp and freeze. You stayed tense in his hold for a bit, before you melted into it. You brought your arms up to wrap around him, and let your head lean into his chest.
Although you were still hurt, even with your ankle throbbing and your heart bruised, you believed him. You believed him enough to nod when he softly asked if he could help lead you to a seat. You believed him enough to notice the way he winced when you winced.
For the first time, since you started working with him, Michael didn't look at you like a dancer that needed to be corrected. He looked at you like someone he was afraid of hurting.

Summary: Michael and you had known each other for a while. So, of course, you were the only one he trusted enough to help him explore.
Warnings: smut *MDNI*
Contains: making out, dryhumping, penetration, breeding kink (sort of?)
A/N: Iâve been obsessing over this idea for a while, so here it is lol. it started with Michael being inexperienced but then suddenly he wasnât too inexperienced?? also, for those asking to be on my tag list, donât worry, i got you, i just donât include my tag list on any smut to avoid making ppl uncomfy! anyway, enjoy!
Michael and you had a ritual. Every Friday night, youâd head over to his house in Hayvenhurst, and the entire night was spent watching movies, with countless snacks and bowls of ice cream, as well as the occasional rounds of board games. You were both very comfortable in each otherâs presence, having known each other for so long. After a night of innocent fun, itâd turn into sleepovers that were mostly planned but mostly happened because you both dropped dead without realizing.
At least it was innocent fun, until one night.
Michael had been thinking a lot lately. Heâd been made fun of by his brothers earlier that week, teased for not having his first kiss, which then turned into being teased for being so inexperienced with sexual acts. He was never in any rush for it, but he couldnât stop thinking about it now.
When you arrived at his house that Friday, he couldnât stop his mind from traveling into dirty places. His eyes would flicker to your lips every time you licked them, or every time you bit them. He also couldnât stop glancing at your legs, it was like you knew it was the perfect time to torture him, as youâd shown up in a flowy and short sundress. He tried to rid himself of these thoughts, he really had.
But when he asked what game you were in the mood for, you suggested twister. Usually, he was always really excited for it, but with the thoughts that were polluting his mind, he didnât know if he could control himself being that close to you.
But he could never say no to you. Which was how you ended up the way you did. As Michaelâs luck seems to have it, you were currently bent over right in front of him. Your right foot on green, your left foot on blue, and both hands on yellow. He tried not to look down, as his right foot was also on green, and his left foot was also on blue. It was just a matter of leaning a bit forward and Michaelâs crotch would be right against your ass.
He looked up at the ceiling trying to gather his thoughts before he looked down. He was looking for the spin wheel before he finally looked down at you. The sight of your perfect ass so close to him made him grow hard in an instant, his cock straining against his pants. He groaned quietly and closed his eyes.
âI lost,â He blurt out, stepping off of the board immediately. Before you could stand up right and maybe see his predicament, he sat on his bed and covered himself with a pillow. When you did start standing up right, Michael caught sight of your panties under your dress. It was like the universe was testing him. He closed his eyes again and shook his head.
You giggle and look at him, before taking a seat next to him. âThat was quick, youâre usually really good at twister,â you tease, oblivious to Michaelâs problem. He shrugged and smiled at you, sighing out. âLetâs just watch a movie, you pick,â he signaled towards the television with his head, knowing he couldnât move the pillow, much less get up.
When you finally picked a film, you both sat in comfortable silence. You were engrossed in the film, the popcorn bowl heâd prepared before you got here in your lap. Michael wasnât paying attention though. He couldnât stop thinking about what his brothers said, but he also couldnât stop thinking about how good youâd looked bent over in front of him. Suddenly he had an idea, and he knew he could trust you enough to at least ask.
âCan I ask you for a favor?â He speaks out, before he can chicken out. You look over to him and smile, readjusting your position so you were facing him. âOf course, anything.â You looked so pretty. He could feel his heart beating a mile a minute.
âWell, I-â He wasnât exactly sure how to go about this in a way that wouldnât make him sound like a creep. âIâve been thinking about how⌠how I havenât had my first kiss,â he nervously mumbled, you just nodded and gave him a smile that told him he could keep going. âAnd, and I was just thinking that itâs about time I do.â
He was a stuttering mess. He knew you wouldnât judge him, but he was afraid of rejection. You, on the other hand, were praying he would ask to kiss you. Youâd been smitten with him for a while but were always too scared to say anything. âWhat is it, Michael?â You asked, voice soft as ever, after a couple of seconds of silence. âI was wondering⌠if you could be my first kiss,â he finally spits out.
You were both flushed, excited beyond belief. You chuckled softly, cheeks hurting from how hard you were smiling. His eyes darted all over your face, searching for any sign that you were uncomfortable. There wasnât any.
âI would love to be your first.â Michael couldnât believe his ears. He thought he was dreaming. âR-really?!â He asked, causing you to nod your head. You slowly got up to your knees and got closer to him, softly laying your hands on his shoulders. You leaned in until your face was right in front of his. âIs this okay?â Your voice shook with nerves. He just nodded fast and multiple times. You slowly leaned in further until both of your lips came into contact. Both of you let out soft gasps, as you pecked each otherâs lips once, twice, and three times.
When you pulled away, he had a bashful smile on his face and he was struggling to make eye contact. âCan- can we do that again?â He whispered, his hands coming up to your waist. You nodded gently, before moving to straddle his hips. That caught him off guard. You settled each of your knees at either side of him, hovering to make sure you werenât making contact. Then you leaned in and kissed him again. This time it was longer and much more passionate. He took the lead, and you gasped when his tongue grazed your lips.
That gave him the opportunity to kiss into your mouth. Your tongues made contact and you both sighed into one another. Lost in the kiss, youâd unknowingly lowered yourself onto his lap. Your clothed cunt had come into contact with his growing bulge, making you both gasp and pull away from the kiss. Michael immediately panicked.
âIâm so- so sorry, I just-â You just shook your head, cutting off his rambling. âItâs okay, Michael. I promise,â you whispered, your eyes were hooded and you leaned back in to kiss him with new found hunger. One you both shared. His hands gripped your waist tighter, as you rolled your hips into his. Your core was growing wetter by the second, and you were sure that with each grind of your hips your arousal was leaving a wet patch on your panties and the front of Michaelâs pants. He whimpered into your mouth as you continued your movements on his lap. You started kissing down to his jaw and then his neck, and he thrusted his hips up into you. He just couldnât help himself. You both let out gasps of pleasure at the feeling. âCan I- is it okay if I just take my pants off?â He whimpered. You moaned softly at the need in his voice and nodded. You got off his lap as he unbuttoned his pants and unzipped them, pulling them down to his ankles, before reaching for you again.
âW-we donât have to go further, I just want to f-feel you closer,â The quiver and whimper in his voice was only doing more to turn you on. âOkay,â you whimper back, sighing at the feeling when he pulled you back down onto his bulge, still covered but more prominent now. Knowing the only thing stopping him from slipping inside you was both of your underwear was driving you insane. You felt the head of his cock nudge right against your clit, and all you could do was throw your head back.
This gave Michael the opportunity to kiss and suck on your neck, leaving kiss marks wherever he could. He couldnât get enough of you, of your noises, the way you looked, and how wet you felt even through your underwear. âSo good,â he whimpered out, after the tip of his cock grazed your entrance. This was when he got the nasty idea. He maneuvered his hips so that his cock was aligned with your entrance, and he slowly slid the tip in, your and his underwear acting as barriers. But the feeling was nonetheless toe curling.
âMichael,â you gasped out. He just looked at you, with a pussy drunk look in his eyes. âI know, I know. I know I said we didnât have to go any further, but I canât help it baby. I need to feel you, please. Iâm so close and I just want to cum inside you,â You couldnât help but just breathe heavily at his begging, this is a side of Michael youâd never seen before. But you loved it. You nodded, feeling your heartbeat thrash as he slightly pulled down the band of his underwear, his cock springing free. Your mouth watered at the sight, your eyes growing wide. It was a lot bigger than it felt. He noticed your expression and cupped your face with one hand, tilting your head to look at him.
âAre you sure this is okay?â He was ever the gentleman, regardless of how far youâd already gone. You smiled and nodded. âUse your words, sweet girl,â he whispered.
âItâs okay, I want this,â you whisper back, and he bites his lip letting out a soft groan. He reaches his hand down to move your underwear to the side, nothing coming between your cunt and his cock now. He brought the tip of his cock to your clit, letting your arousal coat it. It was messy and it felt so good. He decided to test the waters, once again tilting his hips to insert just the tip. You both let out noises of pleasure and threw your heads back.
Michael kept you there, just his tip inside, but you wanted- no, needed more. So you took it upon yourself to slide all the way down, holding onto his shoulders to help you settle down. You both moaned, him at your gummy walls and you at the way he stretched you deliciously. âNghh, so tight,â he muttered out, eyes rolling back into his head. You knew you wouldnât last, and neither would he. He tentatively brought a hand up to circle your clit, making you gasp out in pleasure. âDonât stop, Michael. Please,â If it hadnât been for how turned on you were, you wouldâve cringed at how needy you sounded.
âI wasnât planning on it. Iâm so close baby, dâyou feel it? You feel what you do to me?â You were shocked, to say the least, at Michaelâs filthy words. âMichael, please, fill me up,â was all you could think to say. Michael couldnât believe this was real. He gripped your hips and thrusted his hips upwards, reaching that spot inside you that left you seeing white spots. The sound of skin slapping along with the filthy noises you were both making helped you both reach your limits. Your back arched and toes curled as you reached your high, it washed over you as Michael continued to thrust up into you, helping you through your orgasm while still chasing his.
âFuck, ngh,â He lets out as he finally cums inside you, sticky ropes of cum filling you up. You whimper feeling it filling you up and he couldnât help but keep thrusting. He groaned, looking down and seeing the mess that you were both making, eyes rolling at the white ring of cum at the base of his cock.
You both breathed heavily, trying to catch your breath. But neither of you moved, his softening cock still inside you. He looked up at you and brushed your slightly sweaty hair away from your face and behind your ears. He smiled as you smiled at him, leaning in to give you a soft kiss. When he finally pulled out, you both winced before you collapsed on him. You were both spent and content. Your head on his chest as he rubbed your back and kissed your head from time to time.
âThank you,â he whispers, to which you just respond, âmy pleasure.â You both had the biggest smiles on your faces.
You both knew things would never be the same, and neither of you minded.

Summary: Youâd always admired him and knew he was a perfectionist. But when you start working with him, he loses sight of how far heâs pushing you, and you lose sight of why you loved to dance in the first place.
Word count: 2.2k
A/N: okok, so far i havenât disappeared again yet lol, i just have so many ideas for michael! anyway, enjoy!
You were ecstatic, to say the least, when youâd found out you were going to be able to be a back-up dancer for THE Michael Jackson. Heâd been your inspiration to get into dancing, and it felt wonderful to know the hard work paid off. Youâd been practicing relentlessly the past couple of weeks, getting ready and trying to soothe your nerves before having to work with him.
Today was finally the day. You had gotten up extra early that morning and made your way to the studio, getting familiarized and warming up before Michael actually arrived. Dancers started piling in one by one, and the energy in the room seemed to get more and more vibrant. Everyone was buzzing with excitement.
You sense his presence before you actually see him. The place gets eerily quiet as everyone freezes in suspense. You feel your heartbeat get quicker and stronger.
When he walks in, youâre the first one he notices, though you donât realize. He looks you up and down, and feels drawn to you. He sees a sort of spark that he himself has always felt when it came to dance, he just had to see if it was persistent.
âHello, everybody,â he eventually speaks up. âI hope youâre all excited to get started. Now, Iâm sure youâve all practiced the routine I assigned to help me get a feel of the kind of dancers you all are. Please, everyone spread out and give each other room, Iâd like to see you all go through the routine.â
Your nerves were through the roof. Youâd gone over this routine hundreds of times since his team sent it out, you were confident you knew it like the back of your hand. But knowing Michael was watching, it made it all nerve wracking.
It had all gone smoothly, youâd done the routine perfectly how you had practiced. During the routine, Michael was walking around, observing everyone. But he couldnât help that his eyes kept drifting back to you. His initial instinct was right, you had a special talent. A way of capturing attention while you were dancing, all while making it seem effortless. âGood,â He muttered passing by you. You tried not to let it get to your head, convincing yourself he was just making an observation of the whole group.
âThat was amazing everybody, Iâm going to cut it short today, I just wanted to see how you all performed. Please keep your eyes open for any possible changes in schedule. Otherwise, Iâll see you guys tomorrow at the same time for rehearsal.â
It seemed like the whole room as a collective let out a sigh of relief as Michael began walking out. You thought it went well, you hadn't tripped up and he seemed to have been satisfied with the results.
What you didn't know was that Michael had made his mind up on something as soon as he saw your dancing. He was certain you had potential, and he'd be damned if he didn't encourage it. So he'd decided, while still remaining equal towards everyone, he was going to push you, to the potential he knew you could reach.
What he didn't know, at least not yet, was how far he was going to push you, without even realizing it.
The next day, the level of excitement was no different during rehearsal. Everyone was making sure they were the most precise they could be with their movements. Michael was walking around, correcting people where they needed correcting.
"Try not to think too much," You stop and jump slightly at his voice behind you. You turn and see him looking at you. "You're not letting yourself just feel the music, and you can see it on your face," His voice was soft, but the criticism was hitting you in any way but. "O-okay, thanks." That was all you could get out. You were determined to fix it immediately, and you did. As Michael continued observing, he noticed you taking the advice and improving on it, so he thought he was doing you good. And for some part he was, but as he kept giving advice you noticed that you were being singled out more than anyone.
"Good, that's great, keep it up," You'd heard multiple phrases along those lines coming from him with other dancers, but with you it was different. "Try that again, your arm's not ending up where it's supposed to."
During your water break, you found yourself too into your head. You'd thought you were doing good, but according to Michael's comments, maybe not as good as you'd assumed. You found yourself watching the other dancers, wondering what you were doing wrong. But there was one thing you did know, you weren't going to give up. You weren't going to let him down.
Michael, on the other hand, was feeling satisfied with the results of his comments to you. To him, it seemed that you were good at taking criticism and working on it. It seemed like you could take the pressure, so he didn't let up.
As more and more rehearsal sessions went on, his comments seemed to become sharper, whether he'd noticed or not.
The rehearsals had become quicker and more difficult, but for the most part you were keeping up. "Alright, we've been working on this number for quite some time. So, I want to see how you all flow as one. Let's take it from the top, all together, please." Michael announced, before taking a seat in the audience.
The music started and you all started moving together. Michael couldn't seem to take his eyes off of you for long, you were good. But he knew you could be better. As the music finally came to a close, everyone cheered and complimented each other. Michael returned to the stage and smiled at the dancers, before looking at you.
"You were a bit late. You have to do a better job of keeping up," You felt your heart plummet. You were confused beyond belief, you thought and felt that had gone well. But what mostly confused you was that you were the only one he said anything to. You looked around in embarrassment as the other dancers gave you tight lipped smiles. They could see the kind of pressure you were being put under, and they understood what it felt like.
You shake it off, trying to get rid of the disappointment in yourself but it was no use. After everyone said their goodbyes and headed out, you'd decided to stay back. You went over the routine time and time again, trying to make sure the music and your movements were completely aligned. Your body and legs were screaming at you to take a break, to stop for the night. But your brain was telling you something completely different. To keep going, to be better, to not disappoint. And your brain was winning, with the help of Michael's comments playing over and over.
You were too into the routine, you hadn't noticed that Michael walked back in. He'd forgotten his water bottle, and froze when he saw you still rehearsing on stage. He watched you go through the routine with a sense of pride, seeing your dedication. But instead of voicing his pride, he was choosing to share his criticism, not to hurt you but because he wanted to ensure you were aiming for the perfection he knew you could reach.
You got through the entire routine and started heading to grab your water, breathing heavily. As you reach down for your bottle, you freeze, having spotted Michael. It's quiet for a moment before...
"Watch your feet. You need to hold the end position better so it looks smooth." That was all that came out, before he grabs his bottle and walks out. You couldn't help it this time, as tears fill your eyes. No matter what you did, it didn't seem to be enough. It didn't help that you were exhausted, a sign of how much you'd been overworking yourself. But you couldn't let yourself succumb to the exhaustion, you had to be better.
After that moment, rehearsal started feeling heavier. You were arriving before everyone, and leaving after them. Your body was constantly sore and your eyes burned with the lack of sleep, but you knew you couldn't stop. You found yourself on edge whenever Michael was near you during rehearsal, you overthought how your body was moving and fixated on every step. It got to the point where dancing didn't feel free anymore, and felt more like a burden.
It didn't take long for the other dancers to notice.
"Start again, it's not good enough." You'd heard Michael mutter next to you, before walking away. You sighed heavily and had to collect yourself to ensure you wouldn't break down. "You okay?" The dancer next to you whispered, noticing your shaky breathing, especially after having heard Michael's comment to you. You just nod your head, and give her a practiced smile. "Don't take it personally, I think he just wants us to reach our potential," she whispers again. You wanted to believe it, it was what you were telling yourself at first. But it felt heavier than that, it felt like he didn't think you were good enough.
And you didn't know it was anything but that.
The tipping point of it all, was worse than you'd thought it would be. It was during a pretty harsh rehearsal. You'd left the studio late last night, and had gotten there again very early. You were exhausted and sore and your mind was reeling, having heard the same section of the same song for hours now. To make matters worse, Michael decided today was another day to give you all anxiety.
"Alright everyone, I want to see this routine with you all together. Please get into positions." He announced, making everybody rush to a spot. The music started and things seemed to be going smoothly enough, at least at first. As the music continued, you felt Michael's gaze on you and you couldn't help but get into your head. Now, you don't know if you were thinking too much or not enough when it happened, but during a sharp jump and spin you landed wrong. Your ankle bent and a sharp pain ran up your leg. You yelped slightly and felt yourself make contact with the ground before you had any chance of saving yourself. The dancers around you stopped, along with the track a couple of seconds after. Michael snapped, before he could stop himself.
"What was that?" It comes out harsher than he intends. Your face burns with humiliation and you stand up, and that's when you realize you'd sprained your ankle. As you get up, you make sure not to put your weight on it, not wanting to make it apparent. "How many times have we been over this sequence?" His tone doesn't get lighter and it just makes you more nervous. "I... I just-" But he doesn't let you explain yourself. The initial worry he had for you faded into frustration, one he didn't realize he was now taking out on you.
"You just what? You're losing focus, you're not grounded in your movements." You feel everyone's eyes on you, and the pressure accompanied by the embarrassment just makes your eyes fill with tears. Tears you weren't going to let yourself let out. "I'm trying," you whimper out, voice shaky. "That's not enough right now, not at this level."
You just nod your head and let out a small 'okay,' not trusting yourself to say anything more. He shakes his head slightly. "Sit this one out." He mutters, already turning to take his previous spot. "Okay," you whisper again, nodding your head and willing yourself to move. As soon as you put the smallest amount of weight on your sprained ankle, a wave of pain flares sharply, but you didn't want to draw more attention to yourself. So you bite back any reaction, and limp backstage, quietly and carefully.
Halfway through your journey towards backstage, is when Michael notices. He sees the limp in your step and your efforts at keeping as much weight off your ankle. His face and heart drop at the same time, because he now realizes he went too far and failed to notice you were hurt. But it's too late now, because you disappear behind the curtain.
When you make it to the back, tears finally start pouring. Your vision turns blurry, but you know it's more from the situation rather than the pain. Someone from the crew immediately notices you. "Hey, hey what happened?" They ask, as they help you limp towards a seat. "My ankle," you whimper, tears still rolling down your face as you try to steady your breathing. They crouch down in front of you and lightly inspect your ankle, before running to grab some ice. "You definitely sprained it, stay off of it for a bit." You just nod at their words, hands still slightly shaking as you place the ice on your ankle.
Out on stage, you can hear rehearsal continue. The music and the counts and the steps, and Michael stays out there. But he's not completely focused, like he was before. His eyes keep flicking back, to the curtain which you disappeared behind, and he can't stop picturing it. Your face, the tears in your eyes, and the way you limped away. But especially, the way your shaky voice whispered 'okay.' He feels awful, and the feeling completely consumes him.
He realizes now, he's been going too far this whole time.
A/N: I absolutely LOVE this type of angst so I had to write something like it. I most likely will write a part two, let me know if you guys would like that.
