Michael Clifford Imagines/Preferences

The Prom-blem

It was a few weeks before prom, you were not excited, dances were not your favorite thing in the world, honestly, you preferred just staying in your room. You were in the middle of class and Calum whispered to you, "you know how you said your ex texted you the other day?" You nodded and waited to see where this conversation was going. Calum gave you a sympathetic look, "well, I kind of heard that he's going to ask you to prom." Your ex had treated you terribly during the last months that led to your breakup. You didn't know what you were going to say, you didn't want to say yes, but you also didn't like conflict and didn't want to hurt him.

That day during lunch Michael sat next to you, "so what're you going to do about your ex?" You shrugged and put your head down, "transfer schools? Never show up to school again before prom?" You, Michael, and Calum had been friends for years, normally you were the one giving them advice, but you were lost in this situation. Michael, being like your big brother, assured you that he would take care of everything. Now, usually when Michael said that, you would believe him, but there was no way to solve this problem without causing drama.

When you went to school the next day Calum slid into his seat next to you, "hellooooo." He sometimes just acted weird so you really didn't think anything of it, you just figured it was Calum being Calum. a few minutes into class your teacher stood by the doorway, "and now we have a special guest in our class today." Everyone watched as Michael walked into the room with a bouquet of flowers and a sign that read "Y/n, will you go to prom with me?"

Your face was bright red, it was like someone had smeared red paint all over you. You were shaky and nervous and confused, Michael was asking you to prom? Was he serious? You walked over to the front of the class and hugged Michael. As you had your arms wrapped around him he lifted you up and whispered, "can't ask someone who already has a date." Then it hit you, your ex was in this class. When Michael put you down you turned to the class with a giant grin, "yes, I will go to prom with you Michael." Everyone cheered and clapped for the two of you; to them it was romantic, to you, it was hilarious.

Later during lunch you sat down next to Michael and gave him a giant hug, "thank you like a million times, you're amazing, I love you!" Calum sat next to you and gave you a giant hug. The three of you were so happy that you wouldn't have to deal with your ex again.

After school Michael and Calum started walking home when your ex confronted them. He looked at them angrily, "you stole my prom date." Michael stood up tall and stared him down, "You don't deserve her. Y/n is smart, pretty, funny, talented, and one of the best people I've ever met. She's the perfect girl. I didn't steal her from you, because you never had her. I'm in love with y/n, and I'll treat her better than you ever did, because I actually care about her. So fuck off." Stunned at Michael's speech, he slumped away slightly terrified. when Michael calmed down Calum patted his back, "quite the lie you came up with" Michael sighed, "it wasn't a lie."
