Michael has one fear and he hasn't told anyone this.
He is terrified of thunderstorms.
Michael has no idea why but when they happen he locks himself in his room, hides under his blankets, and tries to sleep or wait the storm out.
You, however, love thunderstorms and find them peaceful. You sit out on your balcony and watch the rain fall. It's even better when you're back home in New York, looking out over Central Park from your penthouse. SAN Diego thunderstorms are cute but NYC (and Vermont!) thunderstorms are where it's at.
A thunderstorm is currently happening and you have Chadwick, Michael, Daniel, and Winston over. It started as game night but with the sudden rain it became a chill hangout. Chadwick is currently sleeping on Winston, safe in his boyfriend's arms.
You take a picture of them and Daniel smiles. The two are ridiculously adorable.
"Where's Michael?" Daniel whispers.
You blink as you realise said man has seemed to disappeared.
"Good question."
You stand, out your wine glass in the kitchen before walking off to see where the man ran off to.
You see your bedroom door is open and you peek in to see a lump on your bed. For a moment you think it's your dog, Tikaani, until he rubs against his leg and you blink.
Okay...so who's the lump?
You tiptoe over and gently move the blanket back to see Michael. He's curled up in a ball and is shaking.
"Michael?"
He looks up at you with scared eyes. A sudden roar of thunder causes Michael to launch himself into your arms and you tumble to the floor, holding your friend. Tikaani has also run to you.
Michael is shaking and you gently rub his back.
"Come Michael. Let's get you in something comfortable and into bed."
He nods and you gently stand with him. He holds your arm as you grab a sweats and sweatshirt. You are taller and bigger than Michael so you know it will be oversized on him.
You gently strip your friend and redress him in your clothes before changing into sweats yourself. You navigate him to the bed and get him in.
"I'll be right back. Tikaani: stay with him."
Tikaani jumps into bed and lays next to Michael who buries his face in his fur. You go to the kitchen and make some tea and see Daniel is also dozing on the couch. Wine and rain equals certain sleep.
You return to the bedroom and see Tikaani give you a look and you stifle your laugh. Your Malamute husky mix is very expressive with his sounds and faces. His current face is saying "get this human off of me".
"Michael...I'm back."
He looks up, let's Tikaani go who quickly moves off the bed. You put the mug to the side and climb into bed, pulling Michael into your arms. He squeezes you and you rub his back and head, murmuring softly to him. Tikaani joins the huddle and you smile.
Michael begins to calm down enough to fall asleep in your arms. You kiss his forehead as you also fall asleep.
⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈
When Michael wakes up, you're sitting on the balcony, watching the rain falls. Tikaani barks and you turn, smiling.
"Hey. You feel better?"
Michael nods before looking down. You walk over, sitting next to him.
"Hey: you don't have to be embarrassed."
He swallows before nodding.
"You want something to eat?"
"Yes..."
You hand him your phone and he looks at Ubereats to see what's around to eat. You are looking for something on tv to watch and Tikaani is laying at the foot of your bed.
"Here..."
You take the phone and see he has gone with pizza. You smile as you also order tacos and some more alcohol. You hit order and put the phone to the side as you pull Michael between your legs and hug him.
"You like Criminal Minds?"
"I've never seen it."
You and Tikaani gasps making Michael laugh as you both look at him.
"Well we have to fix that. Netflix!"
You quickly put it on, starting at season one.
"Thanks..."
You look at Michael who's blushing and looking down. You smile as you hug your friend.
"It's nothing Michael. You're my friend and I don't like when my friends are uncomfortable."
He smiles at you before tiptoeing to kiss your cheek. You blink before grinning.
"Catch you later Adonis."
He smiles as he leaves your house.
⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈
Michael comes over again and spends the day with you. It's a rare day off and he's thrilled you agreed to spend time with him. He thought after his freak out during the thunderstorm you would avoid him but instead you checked on him regularly. If you knew thunderstorms were scheduled for where he is, you'd call him to make sure he's okay—even stayed on the phone all night with him at one point.
"Hey Michael."
You smile at your friend and Tikaani runs to the human who has his master's scent on him.
"Hey Samael."
You hug your friend and kiss his forehead. It has become a custom now and every time you see Michael, he receives a forehead kiss.
"You hungry? I made dinner."
"It's only..."
"I got hungry."
Michael laughs but nods as you go to make him a plate. You bring it to him and he sits on the couch, thanking you. You two talk as he eats before you clean up.
Suddenly, there's a roll of thunder and Michael stiffens. You frown. The forecast said no thunderstorms but definitely rain. There's a flash of lightning and then a roar of thunder. Michael whimpers and you gently coax your friend to your room.
You change his clothes before getting him into bed. He lays in your arms, your hand on the small of his back as you gently stroke his face, wiping away a tear.
"Shhhh relax baby. I'm right here."
Michael listens to your soft voice. It soothes him as the storm continues outside.
⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈
Michael is in your lap and plays with the necklace you wear.
"You feel better?"
He nods before smiling as you kiss his forehead. You hold him close and Michael nuzzles your jaw making you giggle.
"Samael?"
"Hmm?"
Michael takes a deep breath.
"I...I really like you...more than a friend should."
You look at him and he blushes.
"I'm sorry! I should've known—"
"Hey! Hey! I like you too Michael. Why do you think you get to cuddle with me when you're here? Or I call and check on you? Or you get fed all the time? Or the fact Tikaani acts like you're his second dad?"
Michael smiles as you kiss him softly.
"So...You're mine?" Michael whispers.
"All yours baby. And you're all mine."
Michael smiles as he buries himself in your arms.
You touch down in San Diego and see Michael waiting. Tikaani runs to him and you chuckle. Michael laughs as he's kissed by Tikaani before you walk over.
"Hey Baby."
You hug him and he hugs you back, kissing him before you put your bag in the trunk of his SUV. Tikaani climbs in the backseat as you two get in.
Michael's parents love you and you love them. Tikaani is also fond of Poppa Michael as you call Michael's dad. The two are currently playing in the backyard as you sit next with Michael and Donna, an arm around Michael who laughs as Tikaani pulls his dad into the pool.
The two get out and Tikaani shakes himself causing water to fly.
"You want another Tikaani? You sure?"
He laughs as Tikaani barks before rolling over and laying in the sun to dry off. Poppa Michael goes to change before returning.
Talking fills the air as you relax.
⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈
Michael is straddling your lap and kisses you as you hold him close.
"God you're beautiful," you murmur making him smile as you roll you two over.
"You're beautiful too," he whispers as you kiss him.
"Want you," you murmur in his ear before kissing his neck.
"Samael..."
You pull his pants off and lick your lips. He's fully nude now and god Michael is just beautiful. You kiss down his chest and he moans as you kiss the v on his waist.
"You have...?"
"Night stand."
You grab it and pour some on your fingers which you warm by rubbing.
"Relax," you murmur.
Michael nods before gasping as you deepthroat him and push a finger in. You suck and allow him to adjust to just one finger before adding a second.
Michael whimpers as you work. He nearly screams as you find his prostate. You focus on it until you pull your fingers out.
"I think I stretched you enough."
Michael watches as you strip and drools. You have beautifully done tattoos and you're muscular but also soft. You lube yourself before putting his legs around your waist.
"Kiss me," your murmur and he obeys.
You hold his face as you kiss him and push in, swallowing his moans, whimpers, and curses. You break the kiss once you are fully in him.
"M-M-Move!"
You nod and begin to thrust, Michael holding you close as you kiss him. It's slow, sensual, and god you are making Michael feel like he's the only person in the world.
You are gentle with him but also show you're his and he's yours. He squeezes down on your dick and you moan.
"Michael..."
"Sorry," he whispers and you kiss him.
"Don't apologise," you whisper as you put one leg on your shoulder. "It felt nice."
You begin to thrust harder and Michael is about to yell when you shove two fingers in his mouth.
"Suck."
He obeys and you fuck him as you kiss his neck.
⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈
Michael claws the bed as you pound into him. You are holding the headboard and thrusting into him like you're angry.
"C-C-Close!"
You smirk as you go faster and harder before he squeezes you really hard. You grab his cock and stroke him.
"Cum for me," you whisper in his ear and he explodes in your hand.
You give two more thrusts before giving a slow yet powerful snap of your hips and cum in him. Michael moans before sleepiness takes over and he dozes off.
⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈
Michael wakes up to a thunderstorm and sees you're dozing peacefully next to him. He looks out the window and smiles as he finally understands why you enjoy the rain. When he's in your arms, feeling your warmth and smelling your smell, the rain further relaxes him. He nuzzles your jaw and you moan.
"Go back to sleep..."
Michael smiles as he obeys, burying himself in your arms. Your heartbeat and the rain lull him back to sleep.
For once, in a long time, a roll of thunder doesn't scare him.
