Miles Morales x female!reader [[Spider-Man:Across the Spiderverse]]

The right Thing

You were softly humming to a tune that was currently stuck in your head, while finishing up your homework. You knew that you probably should´ve been asleep by now. And who does homework on a saturday?
But it was the only way to distract yourself. To stop thinking about Miles and what he was doing right now.
He had visited you earlier, but something came up. Something that required Spider-Man and you knew that he had to leave. You knew that it was honorable what he did. But that didn't stop you from worrying.

Your head shot up from your desk, as you heard a knocking coming from your window. Your heart rate immediately picked up, as you saw who it was. And oh boy, he didn't look good.
You quickly made your way over to Miles, who had managed to open the window by now. Before he could fall into your room, you leaped forward and caught him by the shoulders, steadying his body.

“Miles?”, you asked, worry lacing your words,”Miles, are you alright?”
“ 'm fine, mi tesoro.”, Miles mumbled, but his eyes were closed and he leaned against you with almost his entire weight.
With a grunt, you somehow managed to bring him to your bed. You kneeled down in front of him, carefully lifting your hands, to take off his mask. You gasped at what you saw.
Miles' face was littered with bruises and scrapes. Blood was running down his temple from a small laceration on his forehead.

“What happened to you, Miles?”you asked, standing up to get the first aid kit from your bathroom, while Miles slowly came back to his senses.
“Fighting Green Goblin can be harder than I thought.”, he explained, now slowly following you to the bathroom. You motioned for him to sit down on the counter.
“Lucky for you that my parents aren't home. You´re a mess.”, you sighed, as you examined his wounds.
“I know and I'm sorry, hermosa.”, Miles uttered,”I know I promised you to be more careful.”
“Damn right you did”, you muttered, accidently pressing down on his head a lot more than you anticipated.
Miles hissed and jerked away from your hands. You immediately regretted your action, grabbing one of his hands:”Sorry, my love. I didn't mean to-”
Miles only brushed it off, slightly squeezing your hand:”No, it's alright. Don't worry”

The next few minutes were spent in silence, while you continued to tend to Miles' wounds, careful not to hurt him again.
“All done”, you mumbled, after finishing up. A small gauze now lacing your boyfriend's forehead.
“Thank you, Y/N.”, Miles smiled, hopping off the counter. He leaned towards you and softly kissed your temple.

You had tried to contain it until now, but the small gesture of love was, what made the cord inside you snap.
Tears started to build on your waterline and you turned away from Miles, pretending to put the first aid kit away, to keep him from seeing your tears.
But it was useless. Miles had already noticed your shift in behavior, his heightened senses telling him that something was terribly wrong.

“Hermosa?”, Miles asked, carefully grabbing your shoulder,”What´s up? what happened?”
“You happened”, You mumbled, pushing his hand off and walking back to your bedroom.

Miles only stood there for a second, confused by your answer before he eventually followed you. It broke his heart, when he saw you sitting on the edge of your bed, your head in your hands and tiny sobs coming from you, that you clearly tried to suppress .

“What do you mean, I happened?”, Miles cautionally asked, as he sat down next to you, scooting closer.
“Miles…”, you mumbled and finally looked up to him, “I think I love you.”
The boy in front of you didn't know what to say at first. Surely, you had been together for a few months now, been friends for years prior, but none of you had said those three words before.
“That's why I can't lose you”, you elaborated, “You matter too much to me.”
“You won't lose me, Y/N '', Miles assured, grabbing your wrist. Almost automatically, you leaned closer to him.
“How can you promise that?!”, you cried,”How can you promise me that you won't die out there? Just look at what happened today!”
