Michael Mell x reader

Pairing: Michael x you

Fandom: Be More Chill

AN: the readers gender isn’t specific. This is a fluff fic with very little angst. Main parts of the angst are just a squiped Jeremy being an ass.

 “I just want to be popular. I just want to be able to chill and not think about killing myself everyday. You guys aren’t good enough for the new me.”

Jeremy’s expression turns dark as he yanks his arm out of Michael’s grasp. “Of course you don’t understand. I wouldn’t expect losers like you to understand what being popular feels like.” He turns towards the door and you have to stop yourself from screaming at him.

You cringe and close your eyes as the words ring through your ears again. Those same stupid words had been bouncing around in your head for hours now. Your boyfriend, Michael Mell, was sleeping next to you, curled comfortably into your side with soft snores escaping his partially opened lips as his eyelids fluttered with each breath. His eyes are puffy and adorn slightly darkened bags and his face holds a slightly red tint, giving away the fact that he’d spent an hour or so crying.

While your head should have been completely emptied of the party that had taken place about three hours ago, you were very preoccupied with the thoughts of your ex-best friend’s words and the sound of your boyfriends echoing sobs. You sighed gently again, and shut your tired eyes tightly, willing yourself to drift into oblivion. You wrap your arms even tighter around your boyfriend, as if you could stop the emotional pain that plagued him.

You unfortunately knew you couldn’t. God, you could kill Jeremy for this. Michael was a sweetheart, he didn’t deserve this. You had thought something similar when you held him close to your chest and tried to calm down his rising panic as he babbled incoherently about how he never should have went to that stupid party. How he should have offed himself instead. How he never should have been born. God have mercy on Jeremy Heere, as the next time you see him you’ll probably kill him.

Michael shifted slightly in your grip but you barely notice as you stew in your thoughts. Chestnut eyes open sleepily and stare at your frowning face. You look silly like that, glaring behind closed eyelids and huffing out an angry sigh every once and awhile, but Michael grins at you anyway. He inches closer to you and pokes your side. He lightly kisses your cheek when you don’t respond, which causes you to startle and suck in a sharp breath. You relax when you meet his eyes and grin exhaustedly.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you up baby.” You whisper, running a hand through his hair.

“Well if you’d quit all that obnoxious huffing and puffing,” he whispered back, feigning annoyance. Then after a pause he grins at you again. “You’re lucky I love you so much.”

“More than Marley?”

He pretends to think for a second then hums, shrugging halfheartedly. “I don’t know. Marley is pretty important to me.”

You push him lightly with a large grin and a giggle. You lean forward slightly when he comes closer to you, giving him a small kiss on the tip of his nose. “How do you feel? You need anything?”

He frowns and you can see the nights events come back to his mind as his eyes begin to water. You pull him closer to your body and bring the blankets up to your shoulders as he shakily tells you he doesn’t need anything. When the sniffling starts you feel your heart break all over again. You run your fingers through his hair and hum a random tune, leaning over to kiss his face repeatedly. After an hour Michael had cried himself to sleep for the second time that night. Finally, you began to drift off as well, not realizing how tired you really were. You fell into a fitful sleep.

When you awoke again the sun was just beginning to rise. A snore sounded off from beside you and you blew out a breath when you recognize it to be the sound that woke you. You shook your head to ward off the remains of sleep and your gaze drifts to Michael. He was sleeping again, his breathing staggering and letting out the loud snores again. He looked so relaxed and soft in the early morning light. You chuckle quietly when you relize he has a fistful of your shirt twisted around his hand, as if he was afraid you would leave him.

You kissed his forehead, smiling when he sighs happily and tugs you closer to him. You mutter affectionate phrases and loving words under your breath and continue leaving small kisses on his face. He scrunches his nose and shifts to bury his face into the crook of your neck. You dig your fingers into his ribs and you hear him snort as he moves to get away from you. You follow after him with a wolfish grin and soon you have him pinned under you as he laughs and squeals.

You release him when tears begin to drip down his cheeks and wipe them away with your fingers. You can feel his heart beat wildly as he shoots up to kiss you, cupping your face with his left hand and wrapping his right around your waist.

“I love you, so much, you know that?”

He smiles softly at you and taps you on the nose. “I know.”

“Maybe one day he’ll quit acting like an asshole,” you say, peppering his face with kisses again, “Until then it’ll just be us losers against the world. And how bad can that be really when I got all I need right here in my arms?”

Michael chuckles lightly at this. He pulls slightly away from you, before moving back and pulling you into another kiss. His lips are soft and his heartbeat and adoration filled eyes are so peaceful in the morning lights. You don’t know what will happen, but for now? It all seems like everything will be okay. And you’ve got Michael. And he’s got you. So what’s the worst that could happen?

George Salazar means the WORLD to me, the emotions he puts into Michael never fails to make me sob for a long time. I love him so much and my biggest regret will always be not buying a plane ticket to NYC to see BMC live

[ijustreallylikemusicalsokay]

i drew the son™

[azelmaandeponine]

I actually have a story planned on wattpad for BMC reacting to BMC BUT instead of Michael being all sad, it’s more like Michael feeling guilty because he’s realizing he was lowkey a dick to Jeremy and he wants to make it up to him

Ooo, that sounds great! I actually really like those kinds of fics, they just can’t contain villifying abuse victims.  It’s sad that has to be said.

I’ve always wanted one where yes, Michael realizes he did things wrong! He was definitely insensitive to Jeremy pre-Squip, he didn’t handle the bathroom conversation well, and then there’s the whole “demanding an apology before giving Jeremy the item that would give him freedom from his abuser” thing.  Michael absolutely deserved an apology, but not before the Squip was out of the picture.

You should give me a link once you have it up, I’ll be all OVER it.

[shiningfrog]

I need a Michael protección squad!!!

He is so precious … Even though he wants to get stoned in his basement :v

Does he looks like Michael?

Be More Chill

BMC Soulmate AU Preferences: Soulmate preferences for the boys of BMC (GN)

Michael Mell

The Boy with the Pac-Man Tattoo: For the past year, this guy in Michael's class has been glaring at him. Then the school art show comes around and he finds out why.

The Cure For A Bad Day: After a shitty day at college, Michael takes it upon himself to make your day better.

Jake Dillinger

Shy: All this time Jake had thought you didn’t like him. It turns out that you’re just shy.

Strung Out: In a world where soulmates are bound by thin red threads, you’re burdened by being able to see and alter them.

Light Up My World: You may not be the most popular guy in school, but that’s not going to stop Jake from crushing hard.

Cute Faces: This wasn't your first party, but it was the first time that Jake Dillinger had approached you at one.

Rich Goranski: Ultimate Wingman: When Rich finds out about his best friend's hopeless crush on one of the theater techs, he makes it his mission to get them together.

Pins and Patches (Michael Mell X Jake Dillinger)

No Complaints (18+): Okay, so maybe Jake wasn't entirely sure how he and Michael Mell had ended up in his room when there was a perfectly good party raging on downstairs, and maybe he wasn't exactly sure how he ended up with Michael's tongue in his mouth, but Jake certainly wasn't complaining.

Expensive Headphones (Michael Mell X Rich Goranski)

Welcome to Starbucks: Rich has been trying to flirt with the cute Starbucks barista for ages, not realizing that it was the antisocial kid with the headphones that he'd always picked on.

It All Started With Apocalypse of the Damned (COMPLETED FIC): Even the people who didn't know Rich Goranski well could tell you that he was one of the most traditionally Alpha guys to ever step foot in Middle Borough High. He was strong and stubborn and protective of those he cared about. He was aggressive when it came to chasing down what he wanted, and his family line had no shortage of Alphas. Naturally, he and everyone else expected him to present as one. There's only one problem; Rich presented as an Omega. Now that he's classed as a member of the lowest secondary gender, it seems like the world is against him. Well, all except for Michael Mell, who had essentially taken over as his best friend after the S.Q.U.I.P. situation. Michael was there for Rich when no one else was, so for them to fall for each other is almost as easy as breathing, but will it be that easy to get together and stay that way?

The Greatest Showman (WIP FIC): Michael Mell has always been better at communicating through music notes than by talking, so it was only natural that he express himself by performing song covers online. Even after his best friend abandoned him to be cool, Michael was content. He kept to himself and focused on his channel. Then when his tormentor discovers he can sing and forces him to join the school's failing Glee club, Michael's life of avoiding the spotlight comes to an end. Can he lead the club to Nationals, or will sabotage be their downfall? And will he be able to balance a relationship on top of putting an end to the S.Q.U.I.P.ocalypse?

Party for Two (18+): When Rich asked Michael to help him get back at his S.Q.U.I.P, having sex with him was the last thing that Michael would've thought that he meant. But hey, if it allowed him to get a little more information about the computer chip in his best friend's head, Michael was willing to try anything.

Never Have I Ever: When Jeremy dragged Michael to a party, he assumed he'd spend the whole night alone in the corner, not that he'd get roped into some stupid ice-breaker game with the rest of the squad. On the other hand, maybe Never Have I Ever wouldn't be so bad if Jeremy didn't know all about Michael's little crush. Secrets get spilled, shots get taken, and Michael might even get the guy!

Canine Companion (COMPLETED FIC): Rich had never told anyone that he was a shapeshifter. It was strange, and different; who could say what would happen if anyone found out. Then again, using his gift to get closer to his friend/crush Michael Mell couldn't be such a bad thing, could it?

Dating with the Stars: When Rich Goranski comes across a famous face when swiping through his matches on a dating app it's natural that he's a little skeptical, but when he messages the suspected troll, he gets more than he bargained for and lands a date with a celebrity.

[imcoolerthanavintagecassette]

You mentioned you have a long story as to why lgow is your fave joe iconis song and I am invested in that story. Only if you want to, of course!

Hoo boy, strap in mate. I’ve told this story quite a few times to people on Reddit as well as my friends here on Tumblr, but here it is, laid out in full - Loser Geek Whatever or: How My Perception Of Be More Chill Was Flipped In Six Minutes Or Less.

Summer of 2019, I was getting back into musicals through Dear Evan Hansen. In my fandom consumption, I got wind of the musical Be More Chill and its standout song/gateway drug, Michael in the Bathroom. (It’s worth noting that the reason I got back into musicals in the first place was because I watched a video called Top 10 Broadway Songs that Make You Ugly Cry. Michael in the Bathroom was #9 on the list and Words Fail was #5).

After reading up about Be More Chill and informing myself on the plot and characters, I felt like I had a decent impression of the fandom - Michael was everyone’s favourite character, MITB was the best song, Michael Mell Protection Squad all round and Jeremy was totally wrong to abandon his one real friend. I decided to give the original Two River soundtrack a listen, because I didn’t yet know about its history and that there were two versions of the soundtrack. I got as far as Be More Chill Part 1 before losing interest.

Then, February 2020, I was listening on the free version of Spotify and had ran out of skips, but because I was listening to DEH, algorithmic osmosis caused Spotify to suggest Loser Geek Whatever, I think it was the single version. I recognised it as a Be More Chill song and I had no more skips so I gave it a listen.

And

I

Was

Shook.

In six minutes, my entire perception of the story and characters had been flipped on its head. Jeremy wasn’t a selfish asshole who abandoned his loyal best friend with anxiety for popularity. He was a deeply insecure kid who hated himself so much that he believed every possible instinct he had was the wrong one - including the one telling him that he’ll be failing Michael. The amount of pain and desperation in Will Roland’s vocals definitely added to that too.

And I could sorely relate to that. Feeling inherently defective and wired all wrong and unable to change or fit in no matter what I did or how hard I tried. I would’ve KILLED for an external, omniscient source that would tell me the “right” way to speak and act. And I had a best friend then! I loved her to pieces and I’ve since never had a friend like her, but I still felt lonely on the regular and it was, indeed, “stupid tough.”

I’m far from the only person in history to have felt like this, as a teenager or otherwise, but the amount of people talking about how relatable MITB was vs likewise for LGW was a pretty steep difference. Later, I found out about the history of BMC, how it ran for a short time at a tiny theatre in New Jersey before it surged in popularity online over a year later. LGW wasn’t part of the OCR - it came after the BMC fandom peak and didn’t generate as much Jeremy feels as corresponding Michael feels. I still wonder what the fandom perception would’ve been if LGW had been part of the OCR.

Even though the comparative lack of fandom response was disappointing, this also helped LGW feel much more personal than MITB. Michael in the Bathroom may belong to everyone, but Loser Geek Whatever is mine. That song deserves the same status as Michael in the Bathroom, Words Fail and Burn and all the other huge, dramatic, emotional musical solos.

And that one Spotify suggestion threw me down a rabbit hole of Will Roland love that led me to most of my current friends. Almost enough to make me miss the free version of Spotify. Almost.

(So you can imagine my ire when I found out that the London production of BMC decided to cut LGW in half and tacked the latter half of Upgrade back on. I've made a whole post about why I REALLY don’t think this change works from a storytelling and character perspective, but from an audience perspective, I can see why they went that route.)
