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

~chapter 12~

I walk into the spare room, sitting down on the bed as the springs in the mattress sounded beneath me.

Thoughts finally start rushing into my head. What the fuck just happened? Miles is my boyfriend now and I didn't even stop to question it?! Why wouldn't I just choose to sleep in his room?! That's so stupid! Why am I so stupid?!

I lye down on the bed, closing my eyes a little. God I'm so tired, maybe I'll just sleep.....

I close my eyes, feeling the world around me drift away as I fall into sleep.

I had to have slept for at least three hours until I heard a knock on the door.

What?

I groggily get out of bed, my nerves starting to twist and bend in my stomach as I walk towards the door. What if it's his parents? Why hadn't I even considered that? I stand at the door, my hand on the door handle.

I can't open it, there's no way.

"Y/n?"

It is Miles's voice but he sounds so scared? Upset almost..

I swing the door open with a huge frown on my face only to be met with his frightened gaze.

He seemed to be shaking as he fiddled with his fingers, nervously looking at me through his big eyes.

"Miles what's wrong?"

He doesn't say anything although he tries to, he opens his mouth to say something only to be met with a fruitless attempt of speaking, his words sticking together and not sounding comprehensible.

My eyebrows knit together, what's got him so upset? I take his hand in mine, rubbing my thumb softly over his knuckles as I hear him heavily breath in and out.

"Hey it's okay, take your time alright?"

I try to speak to him more softly to coax him into saying something but to no avail.

He only nods to this, opening his mouth to try and speak again but deciding against it. There's tears in his eyes as I tilt my head at him. What happened?

I cup his face in my hands, quickly wiping away a running tear from his eyes as he finally managed to say something.

"You're gonna....think... You're gonna think I'm stupid..." He finally managed to breathe out, looking away.

"Miles just tell me what's wrong, I promise I won't.."

He sighs once again, finally taking in a deep breathe and speaking.

"Ever since my uncle... He died in front of me...umm... Ever since that I keep.." he looks away, obviously ashamed to be telling me this. "I keep getting these nightmares about it.."

My heart drops at his words as I stared at him.

"Oh Miles thats-"

"I know it's stupid but I always wake up so stressed out so I usually just like... Listen to music and draw or something but I genuinely.... I just.." he throws his hands up in frustration, unable to speak his mind as I smile at him softly.

"I understand, that sounds awful, really.." I try to sound empathetic, he nods as he stares down at the ground, an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Did you wanna come sleep in my bed..?" I ask quietly, putting my hand on his shoulder. He nods frantically, stepping into the room as I suppress a small laugh, following him in.

As we both lye down on the bed, I hear him speak again.

"I'm sorry"

I feel a twinge of guilt as I shuffle closer to him, wrapping my arms around him and gently kissing him on the cheek. He sighs, a little in relief and a little in relaxation as he hugs me back, nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck.

I play with his hair a little, wrapping my fingers in between some of the curls as I felt him slowly drift off back into sleep, a soft mumble escaping him.

"I love you.."

It's only quiet but I hear it and smile.

"I love you too.."
