Tainted Love | Micheal Myers x Reader

Chapter 8: Unexpected

You wake up to the caws from the usual neighborhood crows and the sun peaking through your blinds. The crows were almost your alarm clock at this point. You swing your legs over your bed and throw your arms up with a stretch. You get out of your bed and walk towards the bathroom to brush your teeth. Your usual routine. You enter the bathroom grab your toothbrush add the toothpaste and begin to brush your teeth. You are looking at yourself in the mirror. Your eyes look tired and your hair is slightly messy with a few stray strands of hair here and there. You bend over towards the sink to spit out the excess toothpaste in your mouth and when you stand up Micheal's chest is standing behind you in the mirror. You let out a gasp and quickly turned around to face Micheal only for you to hit his chest with your face. You back away while Micheal just stares down at you with a shadow cast over him. It was definitely unexpected.

"You scared me," you smile sheepishly at the killer. Well..you also completely forgot about Micheal being at your house. Last night felt like a dream, or maybe even a nightmare. You still aren't sure which one out of the two is more likely. Micheal rubs the back of his neck almost as an apology. He is wearing the clothes you gave him last night and of course the iconic white mask.

The old clothes were your father's that you borrowed without asking from him. You don't know why but wearing your father's clothes as pjs you always get the best sleep. Even since you were a child. He would always complain about not having any tee shirts. That was until your father saw your stockpile of his shirts in your pajama drawer. He took a couple back from you but told you "You can keep these ones (Y/N), but don't steal any more of them or I'll have to walk around with no shirt on," "Ewwww nooo," you laughed at your father. "Well don't be stealing my shirts. Even though it has been nice to walk around with no shirt on.....on second thought you can keep these. I'll be a shirtless dad from now on," your ten-year-old eyes grew with horror. "NO NO, here you can take all of them back," you say with a sad smile seeing your new found night gowns in a pile on your bed. "I'm only bugging you (Y/N), you can keep these five and I'll take the rest, my girl. I love you very much," your dad smiles at you. "I love you too," and with that, you both pull each other in for a hug.

You smile to yourself at the memory of your father. You and your parents always had an amazing relationship with one another. When you first moved out your parents wanted to move with you. But you didn't want them to up and move away from the home they lived in all of your life. Not to mention you are an adult now and want to know what's it like being on your own. Well..that plan has now been changed due to a certain white-masked person.

You look up at Micheal's mask. You can still see some little drops of old blood on the mask and it runs chills down your spine. "So..how'd you sleep?" Micheal nods his head almost saying "good". He gestured to you and you smiled, "oh me? I slept good too, and to be completely honest I forgot about you being here," You smiled sleepily at the killer. His eyes widen and he balls up his fist and makes a stabbing motion to his heart. You let out a laugh in response, "I'm sorry! I'm just used to being here alone!" You defended your case against the dramatic Micheal.

Micheal shakes his head and stares down at you. You look up at his eyes and see nothing but warmth in his eyes. Just the way he was looking at you there was enough to stop your heart. You never had anyone look at you the way Micheal looks at you. You can't tell if it's just in a friendly relationship manner or more romantic. Who are you kidding? The Micheal Myers fall for you? Not happening. You have nothing to offer but medical advice. You are more of a burden than anything for Micheal. You'd just slow him down. Heck, you struggle to pick up a case of pop so what on earth would he see in you? Wait. Why do you care if Micheal 'falls' for you or not? I mean it's not like you have feelings for him.

Just then Micheal kind of clears his throat to snap you out of your thoughts. You were still looking up at him and he just tilts his head. You blink twice and feel your cheeks heat up with embarrassment. "O-Oh my I didn't mean to just stare at you I was lost in thought and-" Micheal then puts one of his hands on your shoulder and takes a big breath in and out while making a "calm down" gesture with his free hand. You copy him and take a big deep breath in and out. Micheal smiles to himself seeing you mirrored him. "Sorry for stammering on like that. I get embarrassed and feel like I need to explain myself all the time," you admitted and looked away from the killer.
