Y/n POV!! ↵

I looked around the room for what scared Flora. There was nothing, I saw nothing. Suddenly, my door opened and Miles ran to Flora. He hugged her close. I was confused, I looked around stupidly. "It's okay, it's okay." Miles reassured Flora. She held him tightly. I wish I could've helped but I had no idea what was going on. When Flora calmed down, Miles picked her up and carried her to her room. I followed behind him, arms crossed over my chest to try and keep myself from shivering. Miles closed her door quietly and we stood there staring at each other. "Are you okay?" He asked me, though he sounded annoyed. I nodded. Miles nodded and kissed my cheek. I was nervous now. "Hey Miles..." I whispered as he started to walk back to his room. He turned to me. "Will you uh- can you..." I trailed off nervous for what he would say. "Spit it out." He muttered. I hung my head and shook it, "Never mind, goodnight." I turned around and went back into my room. I was more uncomfortable than usual in my room. My door creaked open and I shot up staring at it. The person stepped closer to me and I started to shake more. "It's just me." Miles sat on my bed. "You fucking scared me." I hugged him tightly. He sat there and I let go of him. "Why are you here?" I whispered. "I just- I thought you were asleep." He whispered back. I thought about the mini dolls Flora had. "Miles, you couldn't have thought of anything better than that?" I said, rubbing my neck, hickies hurt a lot more than I thought. "Anyway, I wanted to say sorry." Miles's voice progressively got quieter. "For what?" I leaned closer to him. "I didn't check and Flora interrupted your sleeping." I relaxed a little. "Oh, it's fine." I saw him nod. "Well, sleep well my dear." Miles kissed my forehead. "Goodnight Miles." I whispered as he left. I laid back down and felt only a slight relief. Was Miles serious about thinking I was asleep? I started to shiver again. I couldn't clear my head enough to fall asleep. I didn't know what time it was. Was it one? Two? Three or even four? I told myself to go to sleep but my eyes would open, staring into the darkness of my room. What had scared Flora so badly and how did Miles know she was scared? Stop asking questions. It's not my place. I squeezed my eyes tightly, trying to soothe myself to sleep. "Fuck it..." I muttered, crawling out of bed. I mentally scolded myself as I crept over to Miles's room. As I was going to open the door, it opened itself. Or, it seemed to open itself. I was pulled in and a hand was put over my mouth. I struggled against him at first but eventually calmed down as I got used to his touch. This is so fucked. I thought lousily. "What are you doing, you should be asleep." He hissed, keeping his hand over my mouth. I brought my hands up and pulled his off of my face, allowing myself to breathe. "I got... I was scared." I whispered, turning to look at him. In the dark, all I could see was his tall figure and messy mop of curls. Miles, like Flora, wore matching pajamas. Miles shook his head, "I promise there's nothing to be afraid of." I grabbed his hands in mine, bringing them up to my chest. "I know, usually that would be enough but, I'm really scared Miles." He brought our hands up to his mouth and lightly pressed a kiss on my hands. I relaxed a little and started to feel tired. "Can I just, stay in here Miles..." I hugged him and closed my eyes. I felt safe with him, I knew I shouldn't have but, I sort of did. Miles stayed quiet. "I suppose until you fall asleep but, if you wake up you can't come back to me. Not until morning. And we're not dating." He clarified for me. I nodded and fell limp in his arms. Miles grabbed me and practically tossed me onto his bed. I was too tired to fight with him about it so I stayed quiet and waited for Miles to get in bed. He never did. I ended up falling asleep much quicker than I expected and never looked to see what Miles had been doing.

I woke up hours later back in my own bed. Luckily, it was finally morning. I stayed in bed, unable to find the energy to stand up. I was still tired, as if I hadn't slept at all. I closed my eyes and easily slipped back into sleep.

I woke up for the second time only to be greeted by Miles. "Creep." My voice was a raspy whisper, not cute. "Why are you still asleep?" I rolled over to stare at my ceiling. I meant to answer but all I could manage was a drowsy grunt. "What's that supposed to mean?" I gave him an annoyed glance and closed my eyes. "No, you can't sleep anymore." He pulled my eyes open. "Miles!" I groaned, pushing him away. "Meet me in the library in five minutes,  Y/n." I nodded and he left. Did I actually intend to go? No, not at all. But then, I thought about how maybe Miles could, I don't know, cheer me up. I put on another black dress, I packed plenty, and left for the library. It took me three tries to find it but when I did, Miles stood with an annoyed look on his face. "I was lost." I grumbled. Miles rolled his eyes and yanked me into a chair. He wrapped his hands around my throat painfully tight. "M-Miles." I choked out. The library door opened and Miles's grip loosened completely. I put my hands on my throat to try and calm myself. I was coughing stupidly. Miles just stared at me. Flora pulled him out of the library and left me crying by myself. So much for cheering up...
