All the hugs in the world but none for you.

Summary:

also known as the five times Lee cling to others and not Michael.

Notes:

Inspired by Lee saying he will not hug Michael anymore and Michael can't hug him anymore in one of their tiktok lives.
---
Snippet translation of that;

“Phi wants to ask.. why did you hug me that time, Lee?”

“I can't hug you?”

“No.. you can. I'm just asking why?”

“Ah, okay then, I can't hug you right? Then I won't. You don't bother hugging me either!”

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

One

Michael was just a few steps behind Lee having exited his car just seconds after Lee got off from his bike taxi. At the studio door, he saw Tiger waiting. The two men in front of him greeted each other with Lee pulling Tiger into a hug. Tiger reciprocated and he spun Lee playfully. Both of them laughed.

However, noticing Michael walking over to them, they stopped and Tiger waved with a quick greeting. Meanwhile, Lee just nodded his head to acknowledge Michael and made his way inside without a word.

 

Two

Whenever he's at the set, Michael always makes sure to have dinner with his co-stars. Often, it will be just Lee and him, and they'll enjoy each other's company, talking about the scenes they're filming for the day or their last leg routine at the gym.

But today he realised that it's past lunchtime and Lee is nowhere to be found. He walked over to the dining area to find Lee sat next to Pon. Lee was leaning close to Pon, laughing at his jokes and playfully nudging him every now and then.

“Ow Lee, why didn't you call me for lunch?” he called out at Lee.

Lee simply looked over his shoulder and replied, “oh sorry”, and returned his attention back to Pon.

 

Three

Michael looked over the huge window and saw Sailub paced up and down the garden downstairs, absorbed in his phone. Out of nowhere, he saw Lee sneaking up to Sailub and leaped onto his back, wrapping his arms around his shoulders in a tight hug.

Lee giggled as Sailub stumbled slightly but regained his composure and shouted, “oi Lee, I'm going to drop you!”

“Come on, Phi Sai. Love me a little bit more!” his giggles continued. Sailub shook his head in defeat and he walked away with Lee clinging to him like a koala.

 

Four

Michael watched as Aon stood in front of the kitchen counter, practicing his movement for the next scene. He had some vegetables in his hand, with a knife in another as he chopped them carefully but skillfully.

Lee walked into the set, walked straight behind Aon and wrapped his arms around Aon’s waist. Needless to say Aon was surprised at first, but then relaxed into Lee's embrace.

Jokingly, Lee voiced out “it's okay Kluer, you have Auto. Who cares about Plawan anyway??”

Aon laughed heartily before he turned around to face Lee. Putting his hands to Lee's shoulder, “you're all I need, Auto”. The two started making kissing sounds until the assistant director told them to move elsewhere so they could prepare the set.

 

Five

“Lee, they're going to order some milk tea. Do you want one?” Michael asked him. Lee just shook his head and mouthed, “no” at Michael before walking away.

Almost an hour later after the tea was delivered, Belle was enjoying hers before Lee came and took the cup straight out of her hand.

Sat by the corner of the room, Michael saw he lifted the cup above his head as the annoyed Belle tried to get it back. 

“Phi Lee, what are you doing? Stop it,” she complained. Not jumping anywhere high enough to get her milk tea back, she resorted to tickling Lee causing him to crouch. Grabbing back the cup, she exclaimed in victory, “hah you lost!”

He playfully pushed her over and she staggered behind as he ran away with a mocking expression.

 

Plus One

Michael walked over to Lee and grabbed his bag. At Lee's puzzled look, he explained, “I'll send you home.”

Lee tried to reach for his bag, “why? No need. Your place is far from mine.” Ignored by Michael who have started walking ahead, he trailed behind.

“Because I noticed what you did today!” Michael replied as he tossed both of their bags to the back seat of his car.

Feigning innocence, Lee looked at him with wide eyes, “what do you mean?”

Michael gestured for him to get in, “you know exactly what I mean. Didn't I already say I'm sorry?”

“What are you sorry for?” Lee raised his eyebrow to him.

“Okay okay, I will never ask you why you hugged me again. You can hug me anytime and every time. I'm sorry I asked. I already told you I love you!” Michael explained.

Lee nodded, his mouth jokingly distorted into a pout, “good that you know that. Fine, I'll give you a lot of hugs tomorrow since you missed me so much.”

Michael sighed as he put the gear in drive with Lee beaming in his passenger seat.

Well, what can I say. I am on a Michael/Lee role thanks to Captain Ping.
