It was late at night and you had just gotten done with your homework. You took a nice hot shower, brushed your teeth, did your whole night routine, and just got in bed. You laid on the soft sheets beneath you and turned on your Tv, pulling up one piece immediately. You had a really rough day, matter fact ,a rough week. You had 3 jobs, and on top of that kinda sorta a vigilante. had just gotten back home like an hour ago.

Thank god it was a friday now, though. You lay in bed watching Beauty and the beast. You were about to fall asleep till you were brought back from reality by a hard knock at your window. You instantly knew it was Miles. He seemed to not know how to use a damn door, but anyway.

You rolled out of bed and opened the window. “What do you want, Morales.” you said, trying to rub the tired out of your eyes. Miles  climbed through the window, looking somewhat pissed off. “What you mean, ‘what I’m doing’, I’m making sure you ight’ “ he said, embracing you into a hug. You wrapped his arms around his neck and answered halfway awake. “Why wouldn't I be okay” you asked in a miles shirt

You took a deep breath into his shirt and let his cologne intoxicate your nostrils. You loved his smell. “Because no one has even seen you, has got in contact with you all week, and if they have, they all said you were being rude to em.”Miles said. “What were you doing?” he asked, pulling away from you and taking a good look at the bags under your eyes and the tired smile you gave him. "And when's the last time you slept ma"

It took you a while to process all of that. Your eyes tried to flutter open, but you miserably failed. Your heavy eyelids drooped, compelling you from looking at anything. Use the rest of your energy to answer. You swayed back and forth, slightly only miles keeping you on your feet. “I um, on monday I had… um, test. Yea, test all day. The next day and from the week forward, I had to do my drivers test, then get groceries for the dorm, and had to do drill practice for the parade… then… then… shit uhhh. Oh yea, um, I had to do more practice ... .but that was the major shi. Then….” You trailed off as you shacked your head, trying to think.

Miles insisted on your answer. He took note of your state and felt a little bad. "It's okay, you don't gotta tell me everything,  i can see you're struggling," he reassured. "No,no,no. I'll be telling you. But today, I woke up at 4 in the morning to collect my jlc suit, then had to fix my mask. Then your mask. Then when it was time for school, did all that, then did drill and raider practice came home, had to by Christmas decorations and Halloween decorations, then me and my parents when to look for cars for me. We're going back tomorrow, you know i might get a motorcycle or a car, maybe both, and went on patrol catched a guy gave him to kingpin and yeaaa, did all that in once dayyy. So proud. Oh, and the last time I slept was on Tuesday, " you said

"It's friday!"

"Exactly.There's more but…"you trailed off again, try to gather more energy. "And I made $55,227 this week." You smiled.

You felt like you looked normal, but really, from miles pointed of view, you looked like you just got done smoking crack, had 5 shots of rum, and just got hit by a bus. Your room was a mess, and there were papers everywhere. Even your suit was out in the open.You only had your shorts on with a blue tank top. You still had your necklace on and all your jewelry. Witch miles knew you always take off. Miles took a good look at your room and then back at you.

You stopped swaying for a second, and then he took the opportunity to cup your face. He let his thumbs lightly gaze over your eye bags. "You work too hard, mami," Miles said. You nodded and put your head against his chest. "And I got shit to do tomorrow," "Okay, you know what?" Miles started and picked you up. He layed you down on the bed and took your necklace off, including all of your jewelry. He placed them on the little night stand next to your bed.

He then proceeded to clean your whole room. Organized it as well. Hid all your gear and even washed some of your clothes. You woke up 3 hours later feeling so far well rested. Miles caught this and threw a pillow on the bed. "What's your schedule, mami?" Miles asked, sitting on the edge of the bed

"I got to finish fixing my helmet," you started.

"I already did,what else,"

"Got a doctor's appointment at 7, then I gotta go look for my new car with my parents,"

"they got a busy schedule as well?",

"yea",

"Okay, I'll be going with you, what else,"

"I hot to go into work,"

"Which on?",

" the tattoo artist Job,"

"Call in sick. What else? "

"gotta do more shopping but for the house, then go on patrol then baby sit my baby cousin for the rest of my day" you finished.

"I'll be with you all day. Now go back to sleep. Love you, " Miles said, kissing you on the forehead.

"Love you to Papa"
