⋮ ⌗ 🍏ᵎᵎ Omg wait I just realized Chris Tucker was called Christmas by Michael and it probably also symbolized how rare a true friend Chris was for Michael! We know Michael never had anyone he could consider a real friend or trust and he and his brothers weren’t allowed to celebrate Christmas actually growin’ up. The layers omg, wait- my brain clicked it into place. Chris was Michael’s first “Christmas” aka the friend he longed for.

like a younger mike being a sub is cute and all because it makes sense, He’s young and inexperienced and so terribly shy, so its only natural that he’d let you take the reins. But Mature era Michael is well.. Mature lol.

He’s controlling and mouthy and downright bratty. He’s grown into himself, and age has made him more particular. more assured and assertive. Maybe even a little (a lot) spoiled. He knows just what to say to get exactly what he wants. Knows just how far he can push until you finally give him that look. That silent warning that says keep on and see what happens.

It’s the challenge of it that gets him off. Mouthing off to you in the car on the way home from an award show, Maybe it’s because you didn’t pay enough attention to him during the show, Maybe he caught you staring too long at another musician, or maybe theres no real reason for it other than he decided he needed your attention and this is his way of demanding it.

Tormenting and teasing you the entire drive home until you hit your breaking point and he ends up face down in the mattress at the end of the night, mascara ruining the clean white sheet because he’d pissed you off just enough for you to give him a much needed reminder of who’s in charge.
