Scruffy!Michael (au)

(requested)

You were standing at the stove, yawning as you scrambled eggs that were in the sizzling pan. It was kind of early for you to be up but you couldn’t sleep so you thought you might as well get up and start your day. The small kitchen quickly filled with the smell of food and your stomach growled, impatiently waiting for your food to cook. You crossed your arms, the only thing you’re wearing being your boyfriends tshirt and it didn’t do much to keep you warm.

“Is that for me?” you heard a groggy voice behind you, turning around to see Michael standing there in just his boxers, squinting at the bright sunlight coming from the window. He stretched his arms above his head, walking over to you and wrapping his arms around your waist.

“Not really, I expected you to still be asleep,” you said, reaching up and running your fingers through his bedhead. He looks so young when he first wakes up and you always admired it.

“You left me in there, how was I supposed to sleep?” he said, it almost coming out as a whine. Yep, he was definitely sleepy.

You chuckled, shaking your head at him and running your fingertips over his stubbly cheeks, “You need to shave.”

He rolled his eyes, leaning in and starting to kiss you all over your face knowing that you could feel all of his scruff. You couldn’t help but giggle, trying to push at his bare chest, “Stoooopp!”

“Don’t act like you don’t like it. I know it drives you crazy when I’m between your legs,” he shrugged, giving you a sleepy smile and leaving the kitchen. He called to you before he reached your shared bedroom, “You burnt your eggs!”

You groaned as you picked up the burning food from the burner, unable to stop yourself from laughing at your cheeky boyfriend.
