"These words you should always remember,

To you, my heart I surrender."

~ I Prevail

I first met Michael when I was staying in a Hotel just outside Tokyo. It was around 11.30am. I decided I would take a walk around the hotel to get an idea of the size and where about everything was.



I should probably introduce myself, My name's Lexi, But everyone calls me sparky. I'm 19 years old and from Scotland. I'm in Tokyo because I wanted to go to an Anime convention. I love anime with a passion, and video games. 


I wasn't paying attention to where i was going and bumped into a firm chest, I groaned.

"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I looked up, he had jet black curly hair and was wearing a military jacket. "no-no, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. In my own world," I said with a chuckle and rubbed the back of my neck.


"No, a woman is never the blame. The man should of stepped out your way. I'm the one who should of moved." I just stared. "Are you okay, Miss?" He asked as he waved his hand in front of my face, I blinked. "Yeah, yeah. I'm good, just a little shocked. Not very many dudes would say that." He smiled, "I'm glad you're okay."

"MJ, you're due in 15 minutes." Said a buff guy in a black suit. Huh, I never even noticed him there. 

He nodded in response, "What's your name? I'm Michael." he smiled. "I'm Lexi, but call me Sparky," I said as I smiled. "Why Sparky?" He asked as he raised one of his eyebrows. "Why not? It's cool. Well, there is a reason I was given the nickname but its a long story." 

He laughed, "I have time." The buff guy came to stand next to Michael, " Mike, you ain't got time. You're due in 10 minutes. You stay behind any longer the producers are going to cancel the meeting."

Michael, or Mike to this guy, turned. " I have time. Let them cancel, I've just finished a 2 year world tour anyway. I deserve a break, right? Or am I suppose to bring songs, albums and tours continuously to everyone? Don't I get sone time just for me?"

My eyes widened, Tours, Song's, Albums?  Who is this guy? "I should go, you seem pretty busy. I don't want to get you in trouble or anything."

He turned, "No, it's fine. I was way overdue my break anyway. I've been continuously on tour for 2 years now. I want a break and I'm taking it right now. I deserve it." He said as he smiled like a kid, like a kid that's being naughty and knows it.

I giggled, "If you say so."

"I do so," He shot back with a grin that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame.

We stood and talked about nothing and everything- our hopes, dreams, favourite places, foods

I've never told anyone, not even my mother, the stuff I've just told this man. He is just so inviting and caring. He doesn't make an opinion. Or tells you what you 'should' or 'should't' do.

He just Listens.

I checked my phone for the time- 3.12pm. Wow, I'm going to miss this convention if I don't move. "Hey, Michael." I said as I looked up from my phone, "Yeah, Spark?" He said.

Around about the conversation on our favorite films he started calling me 'Spark.' Because I had a 'spark' for the stuff I love.

"I have to go, I'm going to end up missing this Anime convention I came here to see. You're free to come with?"
