Michael x Transmasc reader

Chapter 1

/ / / means a time skip since I'm lazy💀

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

You were on your laptop like any normal day, scrolling through social media, bored. You worked as a therapist but since most of your clients haven't made a appointment in a while you haven't done so much; until one day you received an email from a man named 'Michael Afton?'. He had requested an appointment for Friday this week and as happy as you were for new client you were just as curious about what he would talk to you about. Though you are a therapist your mental health was never the best 'surprising I know' but, you still choose this job because you love listening to people let things off their chest and try to comfort them the best you can. You were pretty excited to meet this person for some odd reason that you couldn't understand but, didn't mind it.

'ring ring!' it your was your alarm on your phone, you grumpily dragged your arm out of the warm covers to check your phone, it was the long awaited Friday that you've been waiting for. You immediately jumped out of bed to check the time of the appointment, '2:30 pm' shit it was already 12:45 pm, and you being the easily distracted person you are, it would not be enough time to get ready. But, like anyone else you would have to deal with it and try your best to get ready fast. You rubbed your eyes and walked over to your bathroom to take a early shower to wake yourself up more, about an hour and a half later you came out of the shower with a towel around your body.

You dried yourself off and went to your dresser to choose what you wanted to wear; you decided to wear a white button down along with a brown sweater overlapping it, you wore black jeans since it was the only nice pair that wasn't already dirty like your other jeans. By the time you where fully ready it was 1:50, you rushed out of your house barely grabbing your keys on the way. You got to your car and opened the drivers side door and hopped into it, turning on your car. You sound the radio and get yourself going to see your new client.

/ / / (im so sorry 😭)

When you arrived at his address it was around 2:15 pm, 'nice I'm early' you whisper screamed to yourself in excitement. You turn off the radio and hopped out of your car taking your keys with you and stuffing them into your pocket. You admired his large house from the outside as you walked your way to his front door, you knock on the door three times and wait for a response.
Not too long later a tall brunette man opens the door to you will a small smile, "Hello! you must be Michael, yes? I'm (Y/N)." You say smiling back to him. "Yep that's me, come on in." he says to you with a strong British accent. You walk into his house behind him getting a long whiff of his strong but nice smelling cologne. And just like how it looked like on the outside it was even larger on the inside, he walked you to his living room area "You can sit there." he says while pointing to a chair on the opposite side from the couch he was sitting on. You know that you shouldn't feel this way towards clients, ESPECIALLY on the first day meeting them but you couldn't really deny the fact that he is pretty attractive. He took a loud sigh, "I'm so sorry I don't really know how to start" he said while chuckling awkwardly while scratching his wrist; "No worries. You could possibly start with any things from childhood or-" he immediately looked down as you said the word 'childhood'.

He took another long breath and started to talk, "Well, when I was around 14 or 16 when it happened. It was my younger brother, Evan's birthday that took place at my fathers pizzeria that had animatronics. And at the time I for some reason loved scaring him with some stupid animatronic wolf mask I had." You listened very carefully to each word that he said to you, not breaking any eye contact he made with you. (not in a creepy way more like a caring way🙁) "And that day me and some friends decided to, "prank" him.." You gave him a confused look, " 'prank' him?" he wiped a small tear from his eye and continued. "Me and about 3 other friends grabbed him and shoved his head into the bear animatronics mouth, and as you can probably already tell it didn't end well. The animatronics were made with a thing called spring locks and whenever they touch water or a liquid it locks. And when we grabbed Evan he was crying so the lock ended up going of and.. killed him." he said resting his face in his hands.

You felt so bad for him, you knew how traumatic that could be for someone that young, you sat closer to him and patted his back while he continued to cry in his hands. "I feel like you think it was your fault it happened, is that correct?" you said to him in a calm voice, "How would it not? It was my fault I made that stupid prank." his voice hitched as you saw him wipe his teary eyes. "No, you probably didn't know at the time. You had no intention of hurting him at all and I can see that. All the regret you have wont be calmer until you can realize that you still care for him in a way you can't understand right now." he was silent, you pulled him into a soft hug. He hugged you tight and thanked you for listening to him, "I'm not used to people actually listening to what I have to say and it was great to let that off my chest to someone." You smile to him as you continue to give him tips to feel better about the situation. Not too long later it was a few hours after the appointment was supposed to be done yet you two were in a very interesting conversation, you checked your phone and realized it was already 4:50 "Oh lord I'm so sorry to end it here but our session ended 30 minutes ago. I'm so sorry for staying longer" you apologized to him nervously "Its no worry, it was very nice to have you here dear." 'god his voice is so addicting. WAIT WHAT? God stop thinking like that..'. He walked you to the door and you waved each other goodbye as you walked out to your car, but before you could actually get all the way to your car he ran over to you. "Sorry if this seems strange to you but I would love to keep in contact, could I have your phone number?" you were surprised at his request but obviously you said yes and typed your number in for him. He then waved goodbye and you got into your car, as you started driving you realized that his cologne had travelled to your shirt and could smell it the whole drive home.

Once you got to your house you immediately ran to your room and yelled into your pillow, how could such a charming man have such a sad background? And what else could he be hiding?
