Everyone knows Michael Jackson. His face is on magazine covers, billboards, television screens, and posters hanging in bedroom windows across the world. But Y/N remembers the boy before all of that. Before the sold-out concerts, before the screaming crowds, before the fame. They grew up together. Best friends. Secret first loves. When Michael was just another kid trying to survive rehearsals, interviews, and a childhood that never truly felt like one, Y/N was the person who made him feel normal. Then life pulled them apart. Years later, Y/N owns a small beauty salon and watches from afar as her childhood best friend becomes the biggest star on the planet. Convinced he's forgotten her, she accepts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work as a makeup stylist on Michael's team. There's only one problem. Michael doesn't recognize her. Determined to keep her identity hidden, Y/N finds herself spending every day beside the boy she once loved-the boy who became a legend. As old memories begin resurfacing and an undeniable connection grows between them once more, Michael starts noticing something strangely familiar about the mysterious stylist who understands him better than anyone else. But secrets never stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, both of them will have to decide whether the bond they lost years ago can survive the spotlight that tore them apart. A slow-burn friends-to-lovers story filled with childhood memories, stolen glances, second chances, and the kind of love that never truly fades.

You grew up alongside the Jackson family, but to you, Michael Jackson was never the King of Pop. He was just Janet's older brother. Your childhood was filled with sleepovers, laughter, and memories you thought were left behind when the Jacksons moved to Los Angeles. Years later, life takes you down an entirely different path until one unexpected job changes everything. Now a makeup artist working with some of the biggest names in entertainment, you're assigned to style the world's most famous performer... only to discover he's the same boy you once called family. As old memories resurface and years apart begin to disappear, you'll learn that sometimes the people we leave behind never truly leave our hearts. Childhood friends. Unexpected reunions. Slow-burn romance. Behind-the-scenes tour life. And the King of Pop before-and after-the spotlight.

Takes place in off the wall transitioning into thriller era

⋆˚𖥔 ݁ ˖𓂃.☘︎ ݁˖ He promised he'd call every Sunday. Before the fame, before Thriller, before the world claimed him, Michael Jackson was just a shy little boy from Gary, Indiana. And you were the only person who ever spoke for him when he couldn't. His microphone. Fifteen years later, during the chaos of the Victory Tour, he remembers your voice instantly. And suddenly, the past neither of you truly buried begins finding its way back to the surface. __________ Michael Jackson x Reader Ranking: 1 in #mjxreader 1 in #eighties 1 in #popmusic
