You briefly sat up to look at the time. It was midnight. You looked over at Michael. It made you smile to see him sound asleep. He always found it difficult to fall asleep.
"I love you," you whispered.
Of course he didn't respond, but you decided to go on as if he could hear you.
"You complete me, Michael. I don't know what I'd do without you. I'm comforted by your presence. There is no one else in this entire world that I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I can't wait to grow old with you. I can't wait to raise a family with you. I just love you so much. Please don't ever leave me. I wouldn't know what to do if you did. I know you're asleep, but just know that I love you with all my heart."
You laid back down and turned over.
An arm suddenly wraps around your waist.
"Oh my go-"
"I love you more, Y/N. I'll always love you. I don't want you to ever think that I'm going to leave you. The thought of leaving you makes me sick. There is no one that I would want to grow old with but you. I can't wait to see where life takes us."
You turned around to face the man of your dreams. He smiled at you. You smiled through teary eyes.
"Don't cry!" He said.
"I'm sorry!" You laughed.
"You're so emotional," he laughed and pulled you closer to him.
You wrapped your arms around his waist. He stroked your head.
"I didn't know you were awake," you said.
"That's what made it even better. I wanted to wait until you finished before I let you know."
"Before you let me know that you were listening the whole time! You scared the living daylight out of me."
"Daylight? It's nighttime."
You lightly punched his arm.
"I don't need your sass," you said.
Michael laughed loudly.
"Anyways, I love you."
He kissed your head.
"I love you more," he said.
"I love you most."
"I love you most of all."
You smiled and snuggled into his chest. He continued to run his hand through your hair. The small gesture was making you drift off.
"Mmm, I don't want to go back to sleep," you suddenly murmured.
You felt him move underneath you.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because I'm too giggly."
He gave you a look.
"I feel too warm and fuzzy," you elaborated.
He giggled and shook his head.
"Have you fallen asleep at all tonight?" He asked.
"Yeah...a little."
You rolled on top of him and laid your head on his chest.
"Shh, go to sleep, Y/N," he whispered and tried stroking your head again.
"Stop doing that. It makes me tired."
He laughed and continued doing it. You sat up and looked at him. He smiled at you. You sighed and laid back down.
You jumped when air rushed into your ear. Ignoring it, you relaxed. Air rushed into your other ear and you giggled.
"Michael, stop blowing into my ears. It tickles."
He blew into your ears and poked your sides. You screamed and fell off the bed. Michael's laughter filled the room.
"That was mean!" You yelled.
"Stop being so ticklish and I'll stop!" He defended, still dying of laughter.
You pouted and rubbed your arm.
"I'm sorry baby. I didn't expect you to fall off the bed," he laughed and sat up.
You gave him puppy eyes and lifted your arms up. He laughed and helped you up. You crawled right into his lap.
"You always know how to keep me up," he said.
You kissed him.
"We're going to be exhausted tomorrow morning," you said.
"I know, but it doesn't matter," he said.

An obnoxious phone rang for the third time. Michael groaned and opened his eyes. He looked up to see the telephone on the nightstand. Gently lifting you off of him, Michael stood up from the floor. He grabbed the blanket and spread it over you.
Ring!
"I'm coming, I'm coming," he groaned.
He stepped over all the pillows on the floor.
"Hello?"
"Michael! I've been calling you over and over!"
It was Frank.
"Your interview is at 1:00! After that, you need to make sure you get back home and ready for the AMA's tonight!"
"Ugh, what time is it?"
"Noon! Why are you so tired today, kid?"
Michael groaned, knowing the exact reason.
"Just be ready!" Frank demanded.
"Yeah, yeah. Alright," Michael responded.
He hung up.
"Michael?" You groaned.
He turned around.
"Hey, Y/N."
"I'm tired."
"Gee, I wonder why," he responded sarcastically.
You giggled. He smiled.
"I have to get up and ready. You can sleep some more until I get back. I'll be back at around 2:00 to start getting ready for the AMA's."
"Oh, alright."
"I love you."
"I love you. Don't be long."
"I won't."
You both kissed and he walked out.
