In Your Corner (Michael Jackson x Reader)

He first sees you on a grainy television screen in the middle of the night. A rising boxer with sharp footwork, unreadable expressions, and fists that speak louder than words ever could.

What begins as quiet admiration slowly turns into something neither of you expected. Somewhere between sold-out arenas, championship fights, late-night phone calls, bruised knuckles, recording studios, and the loneliness of fame, an unlikely friendship begins to take shape. One that gradually blurs into something far more for both of you.

Over time, Michael Jackson becomes the one person you can always find in your corner.
