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.

The writing gets better, I promise. The book is almost 3 now Toriano (Tito) Jackson oneshots(fluff, smut, and sometimes angst(very rarely angst))! This is a book following characterized version of Toriano Jackson (Because I can't portray him 100% accurate.) and a character I created just for this named Marley Brown. They're oneshots so, unless I say it's part of a cohesive story, it's not. Although, I do sometime mention different chapters in different parts of the story, that's more like an Easter egg. Here somethings you might want to look at. ⬇️⬇️ you can make request but, if it's angsty I might not. You can request here on Wattpad or here on my Instagram (@dajacksunlover) But anyways- please read, vote, comment, and maybe add the story to your library? Anything helps.

1975. Michael Jackson never meant to walk into that little record shop in Burbank. He certainly never meant to keep thinking about the girl behind the counter. But some people don't leave your mind as easily as you leave their lives.

In 1980s Los Angeles, aspiring designer Gabriella is given the opportunity of a lifetime: creating pieces for Michael Jackson's Bad tour.

As her world collides with fame, friendship, and forbidden attraction, Gabriella must decide whether she can protect her future without losing herself in him.

As an assistant to Michael Jackson's lawyer, you've spent months delivering paperwork to a star you can't stand. One dismissive nod at your first meeting was all your pride needed to write him off as arrogant. Then a strange old lady decides that pride deserves a lesson and puts a curse on you: human by day, cat by night. One night, a wrong turn leads you straight into the garden of Hayvenhurst, where the man you've been so cold to scoops you up without a second thought. Now he tells you everything he's never told anyone, and the more you listen, the harder it becomes to keep hating a man you never tried to understand.

In the small, working-class streets of Gary, Indiana in the 1970s, Inaya Smith lived with her mother in a modest house just a few doors down from the Jackson family. It wasn't the kind of place that felt important on a map, but to her, it was the whole world. The Jacksons were already known in the neighbourhood for being kind, grounded, and full of music that seemed to spill out of their home like sunlight through cracked curtains. Inaya's mother had become close friends with Katherine Jackson. Because of that friendship, Inaya was always welcome next door. That's where she met Michael. At first, he was just a quiet boy with sharp eyes and an old soul, often humming rhythms on the porch steps or tapping beats on anything within reach. But over time, something unspoken formed between them-a bond built on shared childhood, simple kindness, and understanding that didn't need explaining. They grew up side by side, through school days, backyard games, and long evenings when the air smelled like summer rain and music. Inaya saw Michael not as a rising star, but as the boy who laughed too hard at small jokes, who got lost in melodies no one else could hear yet, and who sometimes just needed someone to sit beside him in silence. And when fame finally came-fast, bright, and overwhelming-it didn't feel like something that included both of them. The world pulled him away in flashes of cameras and roaring crowds. The streets of Gary became distant memory to everyone else, but not to Inaya. She watched from afar as his name grew bigger than the town they once shared, as his life became something the world talked about but never truly understood. And still, she loved him. Quietly. Deeply. The kind of love that doesn't demand attention or return, just remembers. Still, in her heart, he was never just the "Michael Jackson" the world saw. He was the boy from next door in Gary, Indiana. #20 Michaeljackson #16 Moonwalker #33 Kingofpop #3 Mjxreaded #5 Michael #2 Mjfam
