Small Gestures Will Stick ~ Michael Myers x Reader ~

Chapter 1 - A Small Gesture

Welcome to my first Michael Myers x reader fanfic! I'm obsessed with Myers, he's my biggest fictional crush and I've looked for and read so many fanfics, but most of them are just not satisfying to me, so I decided to write one of my own in hopes of giving others the slow-burn romance that so many desire with this behemoth murderer. So, enjoy! (also, this takes place in the story line of Rob Zombie's Myers)

Haddonfield, Illinois 1963.

October 30th

Y/N was looking out the car window as she was driven to school. She had no issues at school, she wasn't picked on mostly because everyone picked on the Myers boy that was in her class. She didn't know much about him, only rumors from the other kids. Something about being a freak and something about his mom, who knows. You weren't really one for the drama and didn't like bullying others, so you just stayed out of it. You couldn't help but wonder sometimes what he was really like. If he was as weird as everyone claims or if he was just a normal boy with a unfortunate roll of luck.

Before you knew it, you were at school. You hopped out of the car, slinging your backpack over your shoulder and waving to your mom goodbye and sharing your "I love you' s" before turning and heading into the building that looked very old from the outside. Apparently this school had been around for forever, but you digress.

You walked through the halls, a bunch of kids making their daily commutes to wherever. You were 11 at the time as was most of the kids. Teachers stood about, greeting the children walking by, then you spotted the schools biggest bullies heading somewhere with devilish grins on their faces. You already knew that those smiles could mean one thing. They were up to something awful. Everyone knew that their main target was the Myers kid, and they were obviously planning on damn near torturing him once more as they did pretty much everyday.

Even though you never were interested before, something told you to follow them to see what was happening, whether it was pure curiosity or something else, you decided to follow through. They went down a generally empty hallway that most kids only went to when they needed to use the bathroom that was down there. There were only unused classrooms so it was the perfect spot to harass an unsuspecting kid. You quietly followed behind and saw them all enter the boys bathroom. As you came closer, you started hearing yelling from inside and your heart started racing. The adrenaline pumped through you and you could feel your anxiety begin to rise as the screaming continued on the other side.

"What's wrong you little faggot? Upset your mommies a whore?" you heard one of them taunt. Yep, they were definitely picking on Myers. The taunting continued until you heard shuffling and grunts indicating they were fighting. You don't know what came over you, but you felt a strong urge to burst in there and stop them. Adrenaline was coursing through you and it felt like a heavy weight in your chest, and before you could even weigh the options, you practically kicked down the door. You didn't know why you did it, you were no hero and you were in no place to try and stand up to the biggest bullies in your school, but something just came over you that you couldn't stop.

"STOP!" you screamed at the four boys in the room. They all snapped their heads towards you with confusion plastered across their faces. You felt immediate embarrassment once their eyes all landed on you. A random little girl who busted into the boys restroom thinking you had any power. How embarrassing.

"What the fuck are you doing in here bitch?" the main kid said to you, one fist gripped in Myers shirt, Myers looking equally as confused as the other 3. You wanted to back out and run away the second he spoke. You always avoided confrontation and this was the exact opposite of avoiding it. You felt stupid, but continued to try and be tough.

You immediately could feel your cheeks heating up with the amount of embarrassment that weighed on your chest. You realized it was an awful idea to burst into the bathroom when the 3 biggest bullies were beating on the weird kid. You had no idea so you just muttered out whatever excuse you could think of.
