Miles Fairchild x Male!Reader

===

Flora looks at the clock. Her face breaks into a huge smile. "Miles? Today is Sunday, right?" 

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Miles says, giving her a confused smile.

Flora giggles. "You'll see."

Miles tilts his head. "Come on. At least give me a hint."

"Okay." Flora drags out the word. "It's about someone I've known my whole life." 

Miles just gives Flora a more confused look. "That's not any help, silly." Flora lets out another giggle.

===

At exactly 10:30, the door bell rings. Flora sits up from her coloring book and runs to the door. Miles follows more slowly. The door creeks open and Flora calls out a name that makes Miles stop dead in his tracks. 

"Y/N!" 

"Hey, Flora!" Y/N gets on one knee to be at Flora's height anf gives her a hug. "Man, you're excited today. What happened?"

Flora grabs Y/N's hand once he stands up and drags him along. "When you see, you'll be excited too."

"Oh, I'm sure I will." Y/N says, letting the younger girl drag him. 

Flora stops when she sees the room Miles was in. "Okay, promise me that you'll still play with me when you see this."

Y/N looks at Flora confused. "Of course." 

"And that you won't leave me behind to go play with the surprise."

Y/N chuckles. "I promise, Flora."

Flora smiles. "Good." She continues leading Y/N to the living room. "Then I present to you... Miles!"

Y/N's happy face instantly drops into one of shock. Miles was still stopped in his tracks, unable to move under his childhood best friend's gaze. 

"Miles came home from school early!" Flora says. 

Y/N takes a deep breath, but doesn't look away from Miles, who only looked at Y/N with guilt. "Oh. y-yeah, I see that. That's... great. How long has he been back?"

"Umm..." Flora thinks, swinging on a a stair railing pole. "Thursday." She answers. 

"Thursday." Y/N repeats, in a lower voice. "Hey, Flora?" Y/N finally looks away from Miles, who clenches his jaw and balls his sweaty hands. 

"Yeah?"

"Me and Miles are going to go... catch up in his room. We'll be back out soon. Does that sound good?" Y/N asks.

'Hmm...okay! I can introduce you to Miss Kate when you come back out!" She says.

"Good." Y/N says while Flora walks away, giving Miles a harsh glare. He walks past Miles, bumping his shoulder with his own, making Miles stumble back. "Lets go."

Miles follows Y/N all the way to his room in complete silence, preparing for whatever words were going to come out of his... Y/N's mouth. He knew what he did wrong and why Y/N was angry at him. And Y/N knew that he knew. 

Miles closes the door once they both were inside. Y/N has his arms crossed, just staring at Miles.

Miles takes a deep breathe. "Y/N-"

"No. No. You have nothing to say to me. If you did, you would've, oh, I don't know, called me? Sent a letter?" Y/N looks at Miles pointedly. "And don't say some bullshit like you school didn't let you send letters. Flora has a handful of letters from you in her room. Me? Zero. Not once did you send me a letter."

"And- four days? Thursday? You didn't send anything my way to tell me you were back or that you wanted to catch up. You didn't show any sign that you wanted to... I don't know... fucking talk to me after being away at school for this long?"

Y/N shakes his head. "Miles, it has been months. No, scratch that. You've been doing this for years. Ever since..." Y/N shudders at the thought of that creep. "It's like you don't care about me anymore. We used to be best friends, Miles. I even..." Y/N swallows.

"You know what? No. Just no. I am not dealing with this anymore, Miles." 

"Y/N, please. I know I've been a total jerk, but I can't... I just."

"You pushed me away." Y/N's voice cracks. "That's what you did. You know that's exactly what you did." Y/N's eyes start tearing up. He clears his thoat, looking away and blinking. 

"If you knew, then why do you still care about me?" Wrong thing to say, you fucking idiot. You fucked it up even more. Miles ignores his inner voice. The part of him that actually cared about anything. He pushed it away

Y/N looks at Miles. "Take a wild fucking guess, Miles. Take a god damn guess as to why I care for you so god damn much."

Miles heart picks up. He stares at Y/N's eyes, glancing down at his lips, before grabing his head and gently pressing his lips on Y/N's. 

Y/N pushes Miles' hands off his face and steps back, out of the kiss. "What the hell is your problem?" He yells.

"I thought you were insinuating that you like me!" Miles yells back. 

"Obviously, but that doesn't mean kiss me!" Y/N takes a hand and grabs his hair, backing up and sitting down in a chair. He sighs as he drops his head in his hands. "I'm supposed to be mad at you. I was already confused before this but now i'm even more confused and-" Y/N signs again.

Miles walks in front of Y/N and sits down. "I'm sorry." Y/N doesn't move or remove his head from his hands. "Y/N, look at me." Y/N shakes his head. Miles places a hand on Y/N's knee. "Please." 

Y/N scoffs, standing up and moving to the door in one fluid movement. He pauses at the door after opening. Miles slowly stands up, watching him.

Y/N blinks and shakes his head. "I'll talk to you later." He simply says and walks out, leaving Miles alone.

Y/n walks with Flora in the maze. "Yeah, Miss Kate is really awesome. She's a great teacher." 

"That's amazing, Flora." Y/N smiles down at the younger child. His face slowly becomes on of sadness. "Hey, Flora?"

"Yeah?" 

"I... I might not be able to come back for a while. I need time to adjust to some new things. It won't be longer than a month, trust me." 

"Oh..." Flora looks at the floor sadly. "Well, how about you call each Sunday? Can you do that?" 

Y/N gives Flora a small smile. "Yeah, I can try."
