Standing Next To Me [Milex]

6.

Alex woke up, already feeling heated. His arm was wrapped around someone's body.

"Miles?" Alex murmured into Miles' arm. "Is tha' yew...?"

"Sure is..." Miles' eyes slowly fluttered open, smiling into Alex's hair. "C'mon, let's get ready fo' school."

"Mmmmmh..." Alex groaned. "Stay wif me 'ereeee." He scooted closer to Miles as a pretty pink started attacking his face.

"C'monnnn..." Miles giggled. "We didn't even eat dinner last night!" Alex's stomach grumbled at the mention of food, finally persuading him to get up.

》》》

"Morning, lovebirds~!" Penny cooed, making the couple erupt with blush.

It reminded Miles of what he did last night. Does he remember I did that?

"M-mum!" Alex's lips pursed as he gave his mom a death stare. Miles just stood there in silence.

"Pfff- s-sorry, I 'ad to-!"

Does Miles even like me? At all? Am I being too touchy? Thoughts started to bombard his brain.

They sat down next to each other, enjoying it more than sitting across one another. Two plates of eggs, english muffins, and bacon were placed onto the table.

"Um... s-sorry if I'm bein' kinda touchy... I don' realleh know what I'm doin' when I'm tired..." Alex sheepishly apologized, fiddling with his fork.

Miles chuckled. "It's okeh, I lowkey like it. It's nice." He smiled brightly at the other boy, watching his skin change color. Alex looked down at his thighs, grinning like a child.

"Perfect." Penny quietly giggled to herself, snapping another picture of the two.

》》》

everything reminds me of you, miles
from the daylight of the sun to the lunar kiss of the moon
i cant even bear to look outside without having a single thought of you
just even a single glance at you is enough to hypnotize me into a stare

Alex hummed along to songs on his phone, sharing his earbud with Miles.

"Miles, I think he's got a crush on yew!" Taz playfully patted Miles' back, laughing hysterically. Miles shooed him away, placing his hand on Alex's.

"Like I said befoh, don' mind tha' dickhead." He glanced back to his side watching Taz walk away and place something into his locker. Alex nods but still feels a bit bad about it.

Miles noticed, so he let out an attempt to cheer him up. "Band room at lunch?" Alex smiled and let out a small 'mhm.'

》》》

Alex arrived at the band room before Miles did, getting his stuff ready.

What the fuck...? Where is it!?

Alex rummaged though his backpack and dumped it onto the floor.

No... my notes! My letters...

The boy tensed knowing that if someone saw what he had lost, they'd definitely out him to the school.

"Lookin' fo' this, Lex?"

Lex? Alex brought his attention to the boy. Taz. He was holding Alex's journal.

"Goddamnit, give it back!" Alex knew he had to get it some way or another. Taz opened the journal and read a page aloud, making Alex cringe.

"Stop it!" Alex lunged for the book, but wasn't successful.

"Y'know what?" Taz smirked. "There's no need fo' this anymore anyway. Damage is alreadeh inflicted..." He tossed the notebook onto the ground.

The shorter boy's heart skipped a beat.

"W-what?"

"Did yew expect me not to do anythin' wif tha book?" He snickered.

Boiling rage and shame started to emerge from Alex's body.

"Fuck you."

"What was that?" Taz teased.

"I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE I DATED SOMEONE LIKE YOU, TAZ!" Tears of furiosity escaped his eyes while Taz remained speechless. Alex grabbed his stuff and ran out the band room, seeing Miles by the door. He didn't know how long he was there for, but that wasn't on his mind right now.

He just wanted to get out.
