Y/N POV

It was Halloween night. S/n, Evan, and Elizabeth were all going trick or treating with Clara. S/n was going as a vampire, Evan was going as a pirate because it was a hand me down costume from when Michael was 8, and Elizabeth was going to be a clown. Your dads and Henry decorated the pizzeria with pumpkins, ghosts and even put costumes on the animatronics for their yearly Halloween party for the town's kids. And your mom was at the bar with her friends  getting drunk again.

Michael was lounging on the couch at his place. He was laying on his back with one of his legs dangling off the side and his arms behind his head. He had his pajamas on already. It wasn't that late, around 9 pm but you two still wanted to be cozy. Both you and Michael wanted to go trick or treating but Clara said that if they went, they would have to go with your siblings and be back before their curfew and neither of you wanted that, both preferring to spend quality time together, watching movies, getting high, eating snacks, and cuddling so he invited you to have a sleepover at his place so he can have an excuse to be in your arms.

You were sitting on the floor beside the TV, shuffling through the VHS tapes with a black fluffy blanket around your shoulders and a mug of (drink of choice) in front of you. You had a fox stuffy in your lap which Michael gifted to you the day after you got together, saying it was his favorite toy as a kid and wanted you to have it.

"Got the house all to ourselves, love" Michael said, staring at you with a flirtatious look while you browsed through the various movies.

Ignoring his flirts, you looked up at him with a tape in your hands, presenting it to him. "What do you think of The Rocky Horror Picture Show?" You didn't even give him time to reply before already putting it in the VHS player but you saw his eyes lit up so hopefully he enjoyed it too.

"C'mere. I wanna cuddle. Pleaseeee" Micheal sat up, making grabby hands to you while putting on his most adorable puppy eyes, wanting you in his lap so he could hold and hopefully have you fall asleep against him.

"One second, we need popcorn, and drinks, and extra blankets, and pillows" You stood up, letting the blanket which was previously around you fall to the floor before dashing up the stairs to grab blankets and pillows from his room before running backing down and into his kitchen, grabbing the snacks that were on the counter.

"Y/NNNN, hurry uuuup" He flopped dramatically on the couch, while whining like a baby while staring blankly at the ceiling. 

"Okay okay i'm back" You placed the snacks on the coffee table before sitting down next to him. Almost immediately, he wrapped his arm around your shoulder, pulling you close. You adjusted your position so the blanket was over both of your legs. Michael gently raked his fingers through your h/c hair, carefully detangling it. He turned off the lamp so that the only lights were from the TV and the Halloween lights through the living room window and the only sounds were the movie playing softly in the background which neither of you were really paying attention to and the occasional faint screams of the freighted trick or treaters outside on the street. You rolled over so your chest was against his. Michael continued to play with your hair but his actions slowly grew weaker as he began to fall asleep. You rolled your eyes when you noticed that he was out like a light, not even twitching when you poked him in the ribs even tho he said he was a "big boy and was perfectly capable of staying up". You stood up, picking him up with ease and carrying him to his room. Once he was placed in bed, he pulled you right back into his arms in his sleep like you were a stuffy. His stuffy.

Finally did an actual chapter again. Sorry it's so short, i'm lacking inspiration and this was the best I could do. I just really wanted to post something. Writing blocks is such a pain in the ass plus I just started a new school let alone my first year in high school so things have been kinda tough. Hope y'all are doing wonderful and are enjoying this story. My C.AI account is Corvid_Entity and my Instagram is morbid.acid  if anyone wants to check it out. (please do)
