– Usually. Michael is in full control of his feelings and reactions, so it is very rare for him to show any blatant signs of anger, sadness or distress. However, once in a while his emotions get the best of him, and he finds himself in need of comfort and reassurance.
– Since you are his partner and his equal, and the only person he loves and trusts with his whole heart, it is only natural that Michael would seek out your soothing company in such moments.
– The two of you are in a very well-balanced, healthy and supportive relationship, so the moment one of you is down, the other will immediately drop whatever it is that they were doing in order to offer their comfort and assistance.
– Which is exactly what you do every time Michael comes to you with a vulnerable look in his baby blue eyes. Especially since it only happens very rarely, so you know that, when it does happen, it’s something serious.
– Usually you start by asking him whatever is the matter, which is basically the only encouragement he needs to start pouring his heart out to you.
– In the meantime, you would listen to his ramblings patiently, one arm draped comfortingly over his shoulders. You don’t interrupt, unless it is evident that he is looking for verbal reassurance, nor do you ask any questions, for you know Michael will tell you everything that is bothering him in his own time.
– Once he is finished recounting to you whatever it was that upset him, you would welcome him into your reassuring embrace, his nose buried in the crook of your neck while you pet his golden hair with feather-light caresses.
– You would most definitely offer words of comfort or even praises, depending on what seems to be the problem. (Namely whether Michael is just upset about something/with someone or whether if he is feeling insecure.)
– Lots and lots of cuddles, because this softboy™ needs them, especially when in distress.
– Because you know that good food can help one feel better even in their darkest hour, you cook french toast for Michael whenever he is feeling down: It always manages to bring a smile on his face.
– Aaaaannndddd….naturally, sex is also an option. Especially the soft and slow kind, with lots of kisses and gentle caresses, as it helps him relax and de-stress.
