Spiderman Across The Spiderverse: Y/n X Miles Morales Reader

~chapter 10~

"Do you wanna watch a horror movie..?" Miles asked, scrolling through the channels on his TV as I sat on his couch, hugging my legs to my chest. I have to admit that I do feel slightly insecure right now, my nerves are jumbled as he seemed to act like everything was completely fine. Like things weren't different.

"Sure, which one?"

"We can watch Paranormal Activities"

"Ghosts don't scare me," I shrug, earning a scoff out of Miles. I smile a little, my nerves starting to settle a tiny bit. Only a tiny bit though.

"Oo aren't you edgy?" He mocks, giving me a side glance as I slap his chest with the back of my hand playfully.

"No I'm serious they aren't scary to me"

"HOW?!"

"It's very unrealistic," I shrug once again, turning to see his baffled reaction.

"Yeah whatever..." He narrowed his eyes at me, looking me up and down as if judging me, which only made me roll my eyes with a giggle.

"You are so dramatic, you wanna watch something scary? Watch The Poughkeepsie Tapes, that's banned in several countries!" I retort smugly, folding my arms as if I'd won some 'list off a scarier movie' competition. Upon saying this, I'm not even sure if this movie exists in his universe.

"Wow you're so much cooler than me," he laughed, squinting his eyes at me as he scooched a little closer. My settling nerves were suddenly set alight once again, blazing through my body.

"Yeah I like to think so," I smirk, shuffling closer to him as he draped his arm over my shoulders. My stomach flips a little as I try to stay calm.

Okay, okay, okay.

"Its not like we have to watch a scary movie.... we don't even have to watch a movie.." He shoots me a look, a pout on his lips as he stared at me.

This boy.

"We're watching a movie Miles."

"Yes ma'am"

After a while we did settle on a movie, although it wasn't a horror movie.

It was Despicable Me.

How we got to that conclusion, I still don't know.

"I don't get it"

I jump a little, feeling his voice vibrate through his chest onto my face where I was led. His arms were resting loosely on my waist as I was led on top of him, resting my head on his chest.

"What's there not to get?" I ask saracastically, looking up at him, my chin resting on his chest as I stared at him. As I look at him, I notice every small thing on his face. How can a boy look so perfect...? I really do think I love him, as ridiculous as it may seem..

"Why's Gru mean?"

And moment ruined.

I blink at him, my mouth slightly ajar. Had he been paying attention? The movies almost over and he hadn't noticed Grus complex and beautiful character development?!

"Are you serious?!"

He swallows down a laugh, biting his lip as he looks down at my sort of angry expression.

"Yeah," he manages to breathe out, trying so hard not to laugh.

"Miles, I swear to god, have you been watching the same movie? Have you not seen how Grus character progressed? How beautifully it was written? I swear -"

"I wasn't really watching the movie, I was watching someone else to be honest..."

I stare up at him a minute, my mind running a million miles per minute as I tried to comprehend a good enough response.

Watching me over Grus character development. That's weird.

"I definitely would've payed more attention if I knew you were going to quiz me on Grus 'beautifully written character'," he starts to laugh really hard as I grimaced.

"He is very well written"

"Pffft if you say so mami" he whispers under his breath, leaning down a little to kiss me on the forehead.

He's always so quick with nicknames, it baffles me.

"I don't understand how you'd rather watch me instead of Gru. He's literally-"

"You're a lot prettier for starters"

I knit my eyebrows together in mock awe, "Really..? Do you really think that..? You know how insecure Gru makes me feel," I respond sarcastically, fake sincerity all over my face.

"Oh shut up you know what I meant.."

"No Yeah I do," I smile at him warmly for once.

"Do you want to kiss everytime we see a minion from here on out?" He suddenly asks, sounding more sincere than you'd imagine.

"There's thousands of minions in the next scene, we'd probably pass out?"

Silence falls on us as he stares down at me, his lips slightly parted with a slight frown on his face.

"So?"

Oh my god.
