Blood Halo: Comic!Miguel O'Hara x OC Imagine

Boys Don't Cry

   - Miguel..? - I look aroud as I enter his room though the mirror, he's not there, I walk to the living room and there he's, sitting on the couch - pookie... - he turns around, he seems miserable... No sparkle in his eyes...
   - What are you..? - his voice cracks a bit.
   - Lyla told me to come over... - I come closer - are you ok..?
   - It's... Complicated... You shouldn't be here wasting your time on me...
   - Come on... - I stand in front of him - you can vent to me... You're not wasting my time... - I move some hair strains away from his face, he sighs.
   - Well, it's my mother... Today would be her birthday, but she died...
   - So you miss your mother..? - I raise an eyebrow.
   - It isn't that... - he sighs - my relationship with my mother was... Bad... Very bad... I don't think that shocking crazy old lady ever loved me or was proud of me, she said I was just like that monster she was married... Even though she loved Spider-Man, when she found out it was me all the time, she didn't believe and thought I was joking just to get her attention... - he looks down - I wish she loved me just like she loved Gabbe... - he seems he's about to cry, his voice is sorrowful and craking - I was always the black sheep, the cause of all the problems... Not her lovely son...
   - Oh... - I pet his head. It's very complicated... He doesn't deserve to suffer - I-I'm sorry for that...
   - No need for that, she's dead now and won't truly love me even in the afterlife... - he warps his arms around my waist, burring his face into my stomach while seeking for some comfort, I pull him closer. He's very tense...
   I read his thoughts:
   - Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry... You're stronger than this, Miguel, how would Ma react to see you miserable like this? She would say I'm just seeking for attention... - Oh...
   - Go ahead and cry... Let it out... I'm here for you... - he hugs me harder and and cries, his tears watering my shirt, mixing with his hot breath as he sniffs... I've never seen him crying before... If it makes him feel better, it's worth it...
   - I-I just wanted to be loved by her... - he says among tears.
   - Well, I cannot do much about it, only you with yourself can heal this wounds... - I kiss the top of his head - but if you want to cry, I'm here to hear you cry...
   - T-thank you... - he nuzzles a bit more - y-you have such a good heart...
   - It's the bare minimum I could do for you, pookie... - I run my fingers though his hair.
   We stay there in silence, he still cries of a while, but slowly becomes less tense and stops crying.
   - Are you feeling better..? - I ask softly, he nods - good...
   - Can you stay here tonight..? - he asks - like sleep together...
   - Sure... - I smile slightly. Anything for you...
   He looks up, his eyes are watered and a bit red, his face is a bit swollen, red and wet. My poor little pookie... I cup his face and give him a soft kiss on his forehead, he smiles slightly.
   - Wanna go to bed..? - I ask, he nods and I grab his hand, leading him to his room.
   As we enter the room, I sit down on the bed and take off my boots and lie down. I look at Miguel and he's taking off his clothes. He's changing... But he lies down completely naked next to me and hugs me.
   - Why are you..? - I mumble.
   - Naked? - he raises an eyebrow, I nod - I sleep naked because it helps me, who has insomnia, sleep better.
   - I see... - I mumble. But if he sleeps naked, it means in that night... Oh... - that day we met, were you..?
   - No, that night I was too tired to get my clothes off... - he chuckles while nuzzling into my chest and hugging me. Thankfully... And now I'm wondering...
   - Pookie... - he looks up - breasts, thighs or ass?
   - Breasts, but I cannot say no to a nice ass or a monumental pair of thighs - he nuzzles in the space between my boobs. I hug him and he hugs me back, I can feel his warmth mixing with mine in a cozy sensation.
   - Sleep, pookie... - I run my fingers though his hair affectionately - it will me good for you...
   - Can you... Murmuring me a song..? - he requests shyly.
   - Sure... - I kiss the top of his head and rest my face in the middle of his hair while murmuring softly a random melody.
   His breathing slowly calms down, his body relaxes and the warmth of our bodies become one cozy shell. My eyes get heavier as I slowly drift into sleep as well...
   Sleep well, pookie... You deserve it...

   - Hey Gabbe, ready for tonight? - my hair is really lustrous today...
   - Well, Xina, I'm sorry to say this to you but... I don't wanna go out tonight...
   - Why..? - I ask a bit worried.
   - Today was supposed to be my mother's birthday, but you know...
   - I know... - oh man... - I'm sorry, really sorry...
   - Aren't you mad at me..?
   - No..! I understand why, we can go there another day if you want to...
   - Thank you... - his voice cracks like he's about to cry - I-I need some time alone...
   - It's ok, call me if you need anything, I'm here for you...
   - Ok... Bye...
   - Bye - he ends the call. I feel bad for him, specially because I saw his mother dying and I don't know what's like to lose a mother... I don't like him sad... I hate seeing that... Pretty little face crying... I have to admit, he's kinda cute and is a great guy... He deserves to be happy one day...

   Hum... It's so warm and cozy... So comfy... I could stay here forever... Such a sweet dream... With her... I won't let her go...
   - Pookie..? - I hear Selene's husky morning voice.
   - Hum... - I look up to her - morning...
   - Morning... Did you sleep well..?
   - Yes... Better than ever...
   - Good... - she gives me a kiss on the top of my head and tries to get out of the bed, but I pull her closer again by her waist, nuzzling into her nape - what..?
   - I just want to stay like this for a little longer... I miss this type of intimacy...
   - Hum... - she turns around and hugs me - you're lucky that I'm extremely clingy... - I chuckle as I look to my watch next to the bed: It's 5:05 AM. It's very early, I can stay here cuddling for a while...
   We stay there for a while as she tells me about what she found out about the Van Helsing Family. Phrenology is completely nonsense, it's a pseudoscience of course, but what intrigues me more is if Henrietta believes in that... She's a scientist, she should be against things with no scientific basis like that..! It's very ironic...
   After a while, she goes back home and I get ready for that job I hate... Just another day in my life... But maybe I can visit Gabriel today...
