For a man so true to his word, Miles had a thing for flaking on you.
You hadn’t seen him in around six hours. The event he had fled from leaving you dressed in your nicest clothes, looking like a sweet mess surrounded by family members not your own.
After the first forty or so minutes, you had politely excused yourself from his Mama Rio and Officer Jefferson — Who both insisted you refer to them by their first names — , and booked it out of there.
You'd assumed he'd ran off with his little spider-clique. Something you'd rather not join, considering your particular distain for the man in charge. Who so happened to have quite the distaste for you, also.
Avoiding the mirage of spider people had been relatively easy thus far, with the multi-versal gaps and all. But when Gwen Stacy had started to come see Miles more often — You would have to either sit through the excruciating task of listening to them talk. Which involved a lot more intimate moments than you were comfortable with being witness too. Or leave whilst she was there, and presumably not talk to Miles for a few hours — or.. days. Depending on wether he ditched you for her or not.
Having your best friend, of which you had fallen infatuated too, try and get with another girl right on front of you, any time they were together? Not the most ideal of situations.
So you went home.
—
You cradled the led pencil on your dominant hand, other tapping to the beat of the song playing through your headphones.
Sweet R&B to soothe your woes, whilst you focused on the homework in front of you.
You grabbed the rubber, sighing in exasperation and starting to scrub at your page, getting a little too frustrated and tearing the flimsy paper in the process.
You stared at the tear for a moment before borderline yelling, a tearless sob escaping you before you dropped your head against your desk. Slumping down into a flopped position.
You had to complete this by Monday, you knew that. Mr. Warren was the nicest teacher at your school. He’d helped you when you parents couldn’t. Taken you in — you’d even told him about Miles. He didn’t seem to like him very much, said it was a shame they shared a first name. You thought it was a crazy coincidence.
You slowly slid off your chair, pushing it back on its wheels as you went until eventually you were rested lying on the ground, staring at the window of your room.
Golden light shone through your curtains in a bright calling, basically signalling your escape as it sung to you.
You stared for another solid minute before groaning, Mr. Warren could wait.
Avidly ignoring the ache in your chest at the thought of finding Miles with the current focus of his interest.
You crawled to your closet and reached for the handle, still on the floor — before remembering your Van Der Waals and just using the tip of your fingers to lazily pull it open.
You snorted at yourself, before shuffling through the box at the bottom of your closet and pulling out the sleek spider suit.
The next minute was spent trying to energetically shuffle on your suit, and get your adrenaline running. Which proved working when you were rather excited — or antsy — to swing your way around the city.
You closed your window behind you, crawling up your building and letting the cold air force you more awake.
You backed up, jumping a little hop as you did. Bouncing on your feet before you ran, leaping off your building in a refreshing spin.
An excited yelp left your mouth before you shot a web to the next building over, using the top of a bus on the bust Brooklyn streets to boost your momentum, gradually gaining speed as you swung through the city in a series of twists and flips. Graceful swinging amidst a series of fumbling and laughing to yourself, still somewhat new to the spider-person talents.
You pulled out your phone, the small thigh pocket you had specially designed for your suit making it easier to carry your essentials around when you were in no need for over coats.
You stuttered in your swings, a small squeak escaping you when you almost hit a bird, yelling out a “Sorry!” to the poor thing.
The thwip of your web attaching to a near tall building sent another rush through you, curving yourself between two structures and landing on top of a bell tower. The same one you and Miles had been visiting together for the past year. You tripped a little over your own feet before righting yourself, smiling under the mask.
You didn’t need those other spider people, didn’t need a “Community to fall back on.”—, as that Miguel had put it.
You had yourself, Miles, and a teacher that supported you. And that’s all you needed.
—
You dialled Miles’ number. The irony of your inner statement making you cringe a little. You inner voice convincing you that literally no one else can hear you be embarrassed. You were speaking in your head. Your other—, more combative, inner voice— saying otherwise.
You willed them both quiet as your phone rung.
Miles’ cute face being showing on the profile photo, you stared at it as you waited, foot tapping the cement bell tower.
His face was in your hands, and smiling that charming smile he always did. His cheeks were squished in your hold as you kissed his cheek, holding the camera.
It was a romantic photo, if not for the fact you were best friends. You found yourself getting jealous of your past self. Chastising her for not relishing in that moment further.
Your phone beeped twice, signalling the call ringing out. You stared at it curiously, Eyes of your mask tilting into confused slants.
“C’mon man, pick up.” You whispered to yourself, glaring at the device in your hands and trying again.
When he didn’t pick up then, either — you had started to get impatient. And ended up rolling your eyes at him.
Muttering curses along with phrases of envy under your breath.
You had nothing against Gwen, in all honestly, she was a perfect fit for him — charming and troubled just like he was. Able to bond over their shared issues and shared interest.
Like each other.
You scoffed and shoved your phone back into your pocket, before angrily shooting a web, and slinging away.
Going to a bodega you knew always cheered you up to get rid of the mood you had out yourself in.
—
You walked out of the bodega with your bag in hand, your other waving joyfully to the owner, Hoa, the sweet lady you had met three weeks after moving here. Who made the best Bánh Mi you could find. You pet her cat on the way out, the sweet Turkish Angora purring as she nosed along your hand.
Hoa yelled out for you to “Come back whenever, Spider. On the house, next time.”
“Never on the house, Hoa.”
Her annoyed grumbles fades the farther away you walked. Skipping a bit as you pulled out the food, crisp bread with all the fillings you loved making the first bite look heavenly. You had the urge right then to pull up your mask in front of every flashing camera just to taste that home made bread.
You sighed your compliments instead.
“She never misses.”
“Who never misses?”
You startled at the civilian that had approached you, his tall stature and spiky nature making him stand out so much you wonder how you hadn’t noticed him.
Maybe your spider senses were distracted with your food.
“Oh— uh..,” You sucked your teeth for a second, eyes darting curiously around, wondering why he wasn’t just like the other civilian. Taking photos and videos of you as you walked past — ever fascinated by the new “Hero” around. You would barely call yourself that, but it’s what the people deemed you.
“My.. Friend.”
The man bent down by the waist, hands behind his back as he started walking with you.
“Name’s Hobie. Guessin’ your ‘friend’ made tha’ sweet lookin’ sandwich, mm?”
“Mm.. She uh— Oh, I’m —!..” You paused, tripping over your feet and scuffing your shoes. You cringed under the mask, stuffing the food back into your bag.
“..Spiderwoman.. She makes good food. Yup.”
Hobie snorted at how quick you were about to reveal your identity to who you assumed to be some confident civilian.
You awkwardly walked with him, every now and again glancing longingly at your sub as he leisured in his pace. Taking his sweet time walking who knows where whilst you begrudgingly accompanied the stranger — or not stranger. Acquaintance.
“Ya’ real confident for a Spidey.” Hobies’ sarcastic voice drawled, sniffing and scrunching his eyebrows before his face relaxed into a teasing smile again.
You side glanced him, otherwise focused on trying to leave the conversation. “Well considering there’s only three — two, of us.” You giggled nervously, bouncing on the balls of your feet. “Rest in peace, Spidey-1.” You — somewhat — joked.
Hobie let out a snort and choked on his breath, laughing at your awkward nature.
No wonder Miguel hadn’t let anyone even mention your lack of inclusion to the Spider-force.
Not after the first day of trying to convince you, anyhow.
It would have been utterly humiliating to be bested by someone who couldn’t hold a conversation for the life of her.
Hobie had a lot of respect for you, right off the bat. He knew the moment that Miguel (and Jess) had come back from Miles’ universe — pissed off and *alone — that you hadn’t been persuaded. And considering Jess and Miguel had a rather unique skill with their convincing, feeding off vulnerabilities in younger Spider-people to be the lack of parental figure in their lives, or elder — to have relatability in their pains. It wasn’t technically ill intended, but Hobie thinks it’s more than a little manipulative.
So to have you — someone he’s seen is vulnerable, hurting, easy; not fall victim to the duos tactics, and actively *berate them for it.
He was well awed.
And his brotherly instincts kicked in terribly fast. He thinks he sees a lot of himself in you. Awkward and growing into yourself, struggling against the high standards you were held to as a spider. And fighting from that box people tried to put you in.
So yeah, well awed would be an understatement. Proud would be a criminal understatement.
So when he had been looking for Gwen, trying to show her some stupid thing Pavitr had sent him just to show her — and realised she was gone. He checked his watch, lo and behold, she was in your universe.
Meaning she was with Miles, who rather actively tried to steer you away from his spider drama. Right now, though? He was distracted.
And what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
He walked with you for a while longer, letting you both get comfortable in the silence of a stranger.
“This ain’t weird f’ you, mate?”
You had both ended up at some alleyway, filled with stalls of food and bustling people pausing in their tracks to stare at the oddly placed pair of Hero and “Random Punk?”
“Not quite. I’ve had weirder interaction with weirder guys.”
He nodded in acknowledgment.
“Yeah, Guess ‘m not as weird as some villains.” The brit droned, dropping down to your height and eyeing the stalls as you passed, pocketing some things from stores he knew as bigger organisations.
“I was talking about regular people, but yeah those too.”
He laughed, grinning at your dry humour and nodded again, leaning into your view and smirking at your adjusting lenses.
You reached the stall you were looking for, the girl greeting you with a smiling “Hi, Spidergirl!”
Your eyes shrunk, “Spiderwoman, Spiderlady, Spider — and you chose the most demeaning.”
“Well, you are built rather girl like, young and spry and — oh, is that Hoa’s Bahn Mi?”
You nodded enthusiastically at Avanti, dropping your hand into the bag and pulling out a cookie you’d saved for her.
Hobie watched the interaction from stood behind you. Slipping in a “You had a spare cookie this entire time?”
You snorted and Avanti handed you a peach ice tea and a couple of her home-made desserts in a Spider-man themed lunch box. A note reading “Got this just for you — brin bring it back!!” placed on top, you glanced up, putting the lunch box in your bag as you did so and thanked her before you and Hobie were off again. “Seriously, the whole walk. No cookie.”
You laughed at his pouting tone, “I’ll get you one, next time, big man.”
He draped his arm over your shoulder, leaning some weight on you and started talking about random things he could think about during the trip back to your apartment.
You’d grown to enjoy his company, the older man — and his lack of filter — being oddly entertaining. You quipped, and he quipped back. Not enough for you to really trust him seeing your apartment, but enough that you set the boundary on your block.
“Hey Hobes, this has been a really good talk—,”
“Gotta ge’ back to ya’ Spiderin’, aye?”
You smiled up at him, lenses sliding into a pleased expression. “Yeah, real difficult stuff y’know? Saving the city and all that.”
He nodded along with you, right as his funky watch (that did not at all match his outfit, but looked to be bedazzled with a series of metal spikes) beeped. He brought his arm up and checked the small screen, face morphing into one of annoyance. “Aye’. Right timin’ mate, cause I just got a call from HQ.”
“Ahh.. Big cooperation?”
“Not in a million years, brutha’. More like a socie’y.”
He looked up at you and grinned. “Miguel really don’t like when I flake out on ‘im.”
You paused a second while Hobie fiddled with his watch, reaching into his back pocket while checking for anyone around. When he found no one, he slipped out his spiked mask and slid it on.
You stared, dumbfounded.
He clapped your shoulder again, scoffing amused at your wide-eyed expression.
“Was this —“
“A ploy f’ you ta’ join the Spider socie’y? Not a’ all, mate.” He sniffed, itching his head through his mask and squeezing your shoulder.
“I right respect ya’ f’ not joinin’. Wish I woulda’ had ya’ will at my age.”
“Oh… Thanks…”
He nodded at you, Lenses squinting.
“Yeah but, I gotta dip, Gwen’s not distractin’ Miguel with sneakin’ off no more. He pro’bly realised I was gone too.”
“Yuh huh…”
“Bye, [Name].”
You blanched one last time before he shot a web onto your neighbouring apartment building, opened a portal mid-air, and flung himself through.
“What the fuck..” You whispered to yourself, perplexed at the interaction that had just occurred.
“What the hell.”
—
It was two hours later, when you were full of Bahn Mi, Pastries and Ice Tea, rethinking everything he’d said; when his last words caught up to you.
Gwen’s out of this universe. Not in the figurative sense — Although she is everything everyone wants to be, but you’re gonna ignore that — So where the hell was Miles?
It was late now, Moon shining a casted light through your living room drapes just as the Sun had onto your bed hours prior.
You gradually dragged yourself from your couch, reaching over your coffee table with great effort to reach your charging phone.
You huffed, giving up and snatching your web slinger from the floor by your feet and shot a web to grab your phone, tugging it off the charger. The thicker part yanked out the wall instead, landing hard on your torso with a dull thump. You scrunched your face up and grumbled, cursing at the thing while you pull your phone off the now useless charger and throw it on the floor.
“Fuckin’ asshole…”
You flipped your phone, eyes widening when your lock screen lit up with a series of notifications. All getting progressively worse. Your spider-senses growing in alert.

The messages abruptly stopped, being replaced entirely by a series of calls. Some left voice messages, some not.
You clicked on a recorded voice message.
(miles (o O) Left a Message at 7:46 PM.)
“Hey, [Name]!” Miles’ cheery voice rang out through the speakers, bringing a lovesick smile to your face despite the off feeling you had in your chest.
“Just gonna — Oof, hey man! Not cool. — Gonna take care of this guy before—,” A pause and a grunt. “,—Before I come home to you, yeah? Pick up soon I wanna know what you’re doin’.” A begrudged shout sounded far from the speaker. “Are you on call right now?”
“It’s important!”
“We’re fighting!”
“I have a life loser—“ Three harsh beeps rung out, signalling the end of the voicemail.
You clicked on a few more, just quick tidbits of him complaining you not picking up, and fighting an unknown villain. Also complaining how he missed you and “This guys is not goin’ down!” He shouted louder; “C’mon man! I have somewhere to be!” “Suck my dick Spiderman!” “Woah—! Well don’t get angry now, asshole!”
“Hypocrite!”
“Am not!”
“Are too—“ Three beeps.
You clicked again.
“[Name], Please pick up! This guy can— Fuck! — You dickhead!” A beat played and a cough was heard. Your frown deepened.
“I’m at the—“ Cut off.
You checked for another voicemail, one continue the one left off. A worried scrunch in your nose. There wasn’t one.
Right as you were going to call him back, his profile photo popped up again, you pressed answer with a lip between your teeth.
“Miles?” laboured breathing came through the speakers, wet gasps and sniffled coughs every now and again. He was silent for a full minute before answering you.
“Hey, [Name]..” His voice was gravelling and deep, sandpaper against softened lips.
He sounded tired, and your heart rate picked up in fear, almost like he could hear it. “Fuck..,” He whispered into the phone, groaning. Holding the phone loosely on his end, as apposed to the anxious grip you had on on yours.
“I’m.. Stuck in some construction site.” He gasped. “Miles what the hell—!”
“Mi Vida, please. The guys not—“ A loud crash made the speaker in your phone crackle. A whispered “Shit.”, before he hung up.
You wanted to call back, but from his whispering, and panicked tone, you could only guess he was trying to hide.
Whoever this villain was, they weren’t giving up.
—
You followed his tracker, the location he was pinged at getting closer by the second. You breathed hard against the force of wind, dropping down into a run on where the location was set to be.
“Fuck, fuck— Miles where are you?..”
Your footsteps were light, crouching under concrete slabs and tip toeing around loose gravel. Red light was cast along unfinished floors and crumbling walls. Shadows reaching towards you from the corners of your eyes. Your spider senses were on high alert, at a constant buzz. They suddenly upt in pitch and you flinched around, almost screaming at the hand covering your mouth. Pressed harsh against your face, and another around the back of your head so you couldn’t escape. Your hands gripped the wrists of the stranger before you heard an incessant shushing.
“Conejita, quiet.”
You relaxed instantly, the eyes of your mask downturned in fearful stress.
His hands were shaking against your head, figure hunched and body scratched up. The tears in his suit spanning across his right shoulder and chest. He slowly removed his hands, bringing a lone finger to where his lips would be in his mask in a ‘hush hush’ manner.
Coming in closer to you, leaning down to where your ear would be and whispering “He’s still here.”
You grabbed his forearms, leading him deeper into the site, away from the reddened lights and into the creeping shadows.
He breathed heavy behind you, throat wet with his own blood, he grunted and tried to help you in walking with him, good arm thrown over your shoulder as you dragged him. “C’mon, just a little farther.”
“What’re you…” He cut himself off, heaving. You set him down in the quiet corner, tucked behind two large concrete sheets and some large bent up pipes.
“Just—, sit here Miles, okay?” You brought his head up to yours, still talking in a quietened voice. Hands on his face and crouched in front of his slumping form.
“I’ll be right back, don’t move.”
You stood from crouching, hands slipping off his face while he dragged forward to stay in your grasp — mumbling something like a plea for you to stay.
You turned from him, dashing away in silent movements, slinging yourself up onto high ground and turning back to make sure he wasn’t visible unless you truly looked — he wasn’t.
You lept off, disappearing from his sight with a yank against your webs.
He mumbled, shifting closer in your direction as the exhaustion hit him. Huffing, he leant back. Letting his head hit the wall and focus on keeping his eyes open.
"Quédate despierto.. No te muevas..."
“Stay awake.. Don’t move…”
He heaved again, the heaviness in his chest deepening.
“Stay…” He closed his eyes — for just a second, just for the relief — Dragging his hand up to rip the mask off of him, and forcing himself to open them again, to watch the Moon.
“Awake.”
—
You creep around corners, listening in and honing your senses to a point. For anything, a trip, a movement. A breath.
You whipped your head to the left, following the sound of light breathing.
“Come out little bunny.”
You tensed, he’d heard you.
“Ah, don’t worry, honey—,” You heard him creep forward, closer to you. He didn’t know where you were, obvious by the hesitance in his steps, but he had the right direction. You can move now, he would hear. And with how he’d heard Miles’ mere whisper before, you suggest maybe he had an ability similar to your own. “,Not him I want, anyways.”
That made your shoulders loosen a little, but you never rested. Who knows whether he was lying or not.
You shot a web, hitting the pipe of your aim and jumping from one to another, using your webs to steady yourself. You heard him huff a laugh.
“I heard that.”
Your eyes slanted, crouching into a spidered position. You crawled, using the stick of your fingers to steady across the pipe, sticking to it and trying to find the mystery man in the sea of red the warning lights casted.
Your spidey-senses went haywire and you jumped from the pipe in less than a second. Right as you did, a bang went off and you stumbled forward, landing in rubble and groaning. Rolling before you steadied yourself and jumped up. No rest until your opponent is resting in Death.
You finally saw him. What looked to be some guy in a green fuzzy suit.
“My girl..”
“Wha— *Are you a furry?”
He groaned, and charged for you, right hand outstretched and left in a clenched fist. He swung for your head, twisting his body as he did. You shot a web on his abdomen, pulling him towards you and jumping to slip under his arm, using his prior speed to throw him into a block of concrete, just missing a pole from stabbing him through the chest. He glanced at for a moment and grabbed his head — which had taken quite the hit.
“Seriously what type of Grinch cosplay is this?”
He growled again, like a man with rabies.
“C’mon dollface, don’t fight me here.”
“You hit first, asshole — Also what the fuck, i’m not your ‘doll’.” He shot for you again, throwing a bomb behind you to throw your body forward, you tried to grapple for stability, webbing to anything in reach. But he gripped your waist and held you against him.
“[Name]…”
You froze, body wanting to gag and shed your own skin at the same time.
You swung for his jaw, knocking him clean off you with a disgusted hand.
“Who the fuck are you!?”
He held his jaw and you stumbled farther from him. Hands held beside you, ready to attack if needed.
He grinned at you, blood seeping onto the green fur of his face, you felt sick.
“Oh, come on, babyface.” His jenky voice was digging into your skin, peeling it up and stabbing into your muscle. Twitching into your flesh and making your body hurt, making you hurt.
You ripped your mask up and hurled, spitting nothing but bile onto the ground below you, the burn of stomach acid sitting heavy in your throat and you felt like crying. Your breath heavy and gasps painful.
“What the fuck.”
—
You smiled at your professor. Waving back at him from the other side of the lecture hall. Miles come up behind you and hooked his arm around your shoulder, swaying against you as he chatted with you about anything that had happened in the time he hadn’t seen you. You snorted, chatting back — Forgetting completely about the other Miles.
You dropped your shoulder and your Miles stumbled, grumbling up at you before you gripped his forearm and dragged him to sit with you at the back of the hall. His mood changing in an instant as he followed along like a lost puppy, gawking at you with a dopey smile plastered across his face. His canines exposed, charming and boyish. How he always is. You sat him down, and sat next to you, and he dragged your chair a little closer, grabbing you leg and placing it over his.
He started laughing again at the eye roll you gave him, and you cracked — smiling and giggling with him.
What you hadn’t seen, was the glare settled on the two of you. The way Warrens previous smile had dropped into a snarling frown, hands gripping the pencil he had been holding in a death grip. He jumped at the sound of a crack, the pencil had snapped in his hands and he got even more pissed, about to scream at the *other Miles to get away from you. To get his hand off you.
That kid didn’t deserve you like he did.
You loved him like he loved you, he knew it.
You had too.
He watched you laugh and his heart fluttered, angry at who you were laughing for but still — you were so pretty.
You wouldn’t be laughing like that if he wasn’t here. You loved him.
—
“Mr. Warren?”
“How many times have I told you to call me Miles?” He slipped out of his own head, breaking from the stare he had on you.
You laughed sweetly, eyes shining. “How many times have I told you I already *have a Miles?”
He watched your smirk as you quipped back at him, a jealousy brimming in his chest. He chuckled, a heartless sound to no one but himself.
“Ahh, How many times am I going to forget?” He tapped his pencil on his desk and tried to focus on you instead. He watched you go back to your work, so intelligent, mature.
You shaded in the answer on the sleek sheet. You were right, of course.
A hair fell from behind your ears and he wanted to tuck it back, wanted to give you straight A’s for nothing despite knowing you would get them anyways.
You threaded you hand through your hair and if he wasn’t focused on how beautiful you were — maybe he’d be disappointed it wasn’t his own.
He watched you, forgetting the papers he was grading — he was focused on something else, now.
—
He was standing when you turned back. Hunching over his injuries and staggering towards you.
“Mr. Warren?”
“Yes, my dear.”
You gagged again, and he looked sad at the act.
“Please, baby—“ He stretched out his right hand, pleading with you.
“,—I know you love me too. I know that fucking Spider is taking you from me.”
He stepped closer.
“I know it.”
You stumbled back farther, wiping the spit from you lips and pulling your mask down, you went to shoot a web, to get away. But he was on you before you could, the hand not outstretched revealing a cloth covering his palm. Sodden and dripping a clear liquid.
He gripped your suit and dragged you forward, shoving the cloth closer to your face.
“Stop fucking resisting.”
“Get off!”
You gripped his forearm and bent it back, far enough you heard a snap. He yelped out. The sweet smelling cloth dropped from his hand and his other lost grip on your shirt. Taking the opportunity you dropped down, crouching on one leg and using the other to swipe the things legs from under him.
You watched him fall and grabbed the cloth. Hearing his pained groans as he tried to scramble up again.
You kicked a leg over him, straddling his chest and bringing your free hand back — swinging down on him with anguished cries.
He tried to raise his hands, you pinned them down in his own chloroform ridden cloth. He called your name, endearments that made you skin crawl. Tried kicking you off as his body grew weaker. Pleading with you, using his remaining strength to yank at his own arms.
He wrestled against your hits, face bloodied and nose broken. You hit again, watching his disgusting face whip to the side, blood leaking from his mouth as a tooth went flying.
Tears breached the edge of your eyes, frustration of every kind tearing your skin anew, your knuckles pouring the hurt you felt. Blood mixing in a sickening spill of feelings, an obsessive love — something cruel and harsh. And the injuries you’d sustained from it, equally as such cruel.
You’d spent *months trying for a man in love with someone else. And this man you had confided in, who had been a mentor in your trivialities — had taken advantage of that, of you.
He disgusted you.
You kept swinging.
—
Miles jerked awake, gripping the hands that were on his shoulders in an instant, the figure flinching back at his strength.
“Miles! Just me—,” He opened his eyes further, pain ringing through his body as he loosened in your hold.
“Just you.”
He took your appearance in, the blood coating your suit, that hadn’t seemed to be your own. The thick liquid shining on your hands and forearms, crudely splashed onto your mask — like something out of a horror film.
He reached up slowly, pulling off you mask with great effort. His own sitting next to him. You were on your knees before him, bathing in red so deep it could have been mistaken for black against the reddened light. He groaned when you touched his chest, coughing a little at the pain.
“Sorry! Sorry — I’m so sorry.” You quickly retracted your hand and gasped. Apologising through near tears. He wet his lips, watching your tear lined eyes in worry.
“Hey— Conejita, what— what happened?”
Letting his hands rest on your cheeks, carbon fibre wiping at soft skin.
You sobbed, gripping his wrists and moving his weak hands closer to you. His brows furrowed further.
“I don’t — I don’t know, he —,”
You breathed fast against his palms, crying to him. Miles straightened himself up, ignoring the pains shooting up his body and trying to comfort you, shushing your cries and cradling your face.
“Mr. Warren he was —“
Miles’ eyes widened, finally letting the familiarity in his voice click. That was who it was, who was so mad at him, disgusted by the Spider.
Miles shuddered, thinking back to the off feeling he’d always had around the older man.
How he was always around you.
“What did he do.”
His eyes darkened and you cried harder, Miles had completely forgotten about his wounds, shifting to get up and find the fucking bastard.
You gripped him tighter, “Miles. He’s not —,”
“Where is he.”
“Dead.”
His breath escaped him, the blood made sense now. He got closer to you and slid his hand around your head, pushing your face into his good shoulder.
You cried again, shaking form cradled against his own weakened body.
“Shh, Mami. It’s okay. You’re okay.”
���We’re alright, I promise.”
He hugged you closer, pressing a haste kiss to your forehead.
“You’re safe.”
—
You helped him home, having to hold him up and swing at the same time, which wasn’t much as a hassle as you thought it would be.
You both sat on your couch, him lying down with you sitting on his thighs.
He watched you work, suit and mask discarded somewhere in your living room and clad only in a pair of loose joggers you had found for him.
Your face was pinched into a frown, eyes still puffed from crying and a brows scrunched unpleasantly.
“Stop moving.”
“I’m not.” He threw his head back, rolling his eyes at your complaining.
“See? Moving.” You poked his chest and he winced.
“Okay! Okay— Damn, chica.”
You smiled at his tone, a small, timid thing. And he pushed down the fluttering in his stomach.
“You’re lucky you don’t need stitches.”
“Lucky? Havin’ you here longer would make me lucky.”
You grumbled, pouting at him angrily. “You want stitches, big boy?”
“You gonna stay on top of me?”
“No, but i’ll make it hurt real nice.”
He snorted, shifting to look at you better.
“Then, nah.”
You kept at your work, patting him with antiseptics and making him hold an ice pack across the forming bruises.
And he admired you, the streaks of light from the window falling against your face. A city ridden with crime making you so, so pretty.
“Why’d you come for me?”
You gave him a curious look but continued to patch him up. “What do you mean? Why wouldn’t I?”
He sniffled, averting his gaze. “I dunno I just— didn’t expect you to show up.”
You shook your head a little, understanding his fears.
“I’d always show for you, Miles.”
He hummed, flustered at the thought.
You moved up to his face, gently patting away blood with a warm hand towel, your other hand holding his face towards you. Fingertips brushing his cheeks in a hold so caring he might’ve fainted if it wasn’t you holding him. He’d stay awake for you this time. He’d protect you this time.
“I love you.”
You froze, towel stuck in the air and your eyes locked onto his.
Miles held his breath, waiting for your reply as he watched you clock the words.
His nerves got to him quick, spouting out whatever he could in your silence.
"Estaba hablando con Gwen y me ayudó a darme cuenta, ¿sabes? No paraba de decir que estaba enfermo de amor, yo no lo entendía y pensé que quizás debería..."
“I was just talking with Gwen and she helped me realise, you know? Kept saying I was lovesick and I didnt get it and I just thought maybe I should—“
“I love you too.”
He snapped his gaze back to you. Hope colouring his eyes a sparkling gold.
“You do?” He whispered, an intimacy running through his bloodstream. Heart pumping too fast in haste of the pure admiration he held for you.
You nodded, and your hands splayed out further, cradling the edge of his lips.
“I do.”
He tried to sit up, abs clenching under effort to get closer to you, you let him drag you forward. He ditched the ice pack and settled his hands on the crest of your thighs, rubbing his thumb over your hips.
“Say it again?”
He whined, begging you. He wanted, needed to hear you say it again.
“I love you.”
He squeezed his eyes shut, forehead pressing against your own. You followed.
The things he felt for you were too much, too much. His chest was heaving again, but not from pain. This was love he hadn’t experienced before, this was anything but painful.
"Dios, también te amo."
“God, I love you too.”
Your hands slipped from his lips to the back of his neck, scratching gently along his nape and he shivered.
“Let me kiss you? Please?”
He whispered again, voice cracking. Chapped lips brushing against your own softer ones in a featherlight touch. He was holding off, not letting himself the pleasure without you wanting him back — he wanted to know you wanted him back.
“Please.” You were sure, certain — and it was all he needed.
He kissed you sweetly, letting himself indulge in you without restraint.
He hadn’t known what he’d been missing out on — but now he does. Know he knows. And god, if he hadn’t felt more full in his entire life.
Everything had been bland compared to you, had been bitter and dull against the sweetness of your lips. Smooth against rough skin and he’d never felt something so soft before. His hands gripped you harder for just a moment and you pulled back merely an inch to catch your breath. He opened his eyes and watched your lips sparkle in the same light he’d admired minutes before.
“I love you too.”
You smiled at him and he pulled you ever closer. “I know, Miles.”
—
“I fuckin’ told ya’, mate.”
“Wh— I never said otherwise!”
“Yeah but ya’ neva’ agreed either, aye?”
“I never disagreed.”
“Pff, whateva.”
Gwen rolled her eyes, scoffing at the brit next to her with a smile on her face.
They watched you both as Miles nervously introduced you to Peter. A sort of Spider-convention was set up. And the invite was — begrudgingly — extended to you.
“They’re cute, though.”
“Bloody oath.”
You offered the older man with a warmed gaze, turning to the kid in his arms and cooing. He smiled at you, being one of your favourite spiders had its perks.
He was one of the only ones who never tried to make you join the society, so he got a pass from you.
Miles held your hand and smiled, chatting with Peter excitedly once he realised the lack of tension.
“Do you want to hold her?”
“Do I—,” You looked up at him hopefully. “Yes! Uh— Yeah. Yes please.”
You dropped Miles’ hand and he pouted, watching you take the baby from Peters arms, the early father fretting as you waved him off, insuring him you knew how to care for a child.
Peter relaxed and stood next to Miles as you rocked his baby gently. A rather fond feeling overtaking them both — leading Peter to take a photo of you with his kid, and Miles to shyly ask him to send it to him.
The look of you with a kid? It was way too early in life for baby fever.
He huffed when he heard people making kissy noises behind him. You too preoccupied with entertaining the kid to realise it.
He turned to the trio of teens behind him and flipped them off. Pavitr gasped offendedly at him and Hobie and Gwen laughed, causing Miles to roll his eyes and snort.
“Assholes.”
You gently passed MayDay back to Peter and gave a quick kiss to her head. Peter going off to get her a bottle.
Miles came up next to you and you smiled at him, watching the skyline from the buildings rooftop.
“[Name].”
You huffed and rolled your eyes at the voice behind you.
Way to ruin a moment.
“Miguel.”
You turned to him, Miles cringing quickly as he turned with you.
“Hey— Miguel! Crazy seein’ you here, haha! Insane.” Miles nervously laughed, his voice deepening on the last word and you coughed a laugh, agreeing with him.
“Uhuh, crazy.” A sly smile adorned your features and you grabbed his hand again, interlocking your fingers in a foxy movement.
“You weren’t invited.”
“Huh? Of course I wasn’t!—“ Your smirk grew bigger. “—I’m a plus one.”
He glared down at you and it only felt all the more justifiable, he opened his mouth to talk before Peter was dancing over with MayDay held out.
“Here take this, thanks!”
He quickly handed her off to Miguel and spun him around by his shoulders, continuing to walk with him in the other direction. “She needs a sleep. Rock her to sleep.”
“Wh—“
“Rock her.”
—
Miles gripped your hips, swaying gently with you to the soft music playing in your kitchen. Your Ma had left two weeks prior for a month long work trip, and he couldn’t stay away. The domesticity he had built with you reaching an all time high as he watched you cook.
He rested his head on your shoulder and you both continued to sway a little. Moving his hands past your hips to lean his hands on the bench you cut your food on, caging you in slightly. You hummed, reaching for a tomato and placing it on the board.
“I love you.”
You giggled — a sweet, girlish thing.
“Love you too, baby.”
“Love you more.” He smiled against your shoulder.
“Pfft, yeah okay, big boy.”
You rolled your eyes and laughed, and his heart fluttered again.

MASTERLIST // HITLIST
~~(^@/Arvid’s insta from May 26, 2024)
Every British driver was excited for Silverstone, but Dino was convinced that Arvid was a little over the top. Dino could not figure it out for the life of him, and Arvid did not peg him as the ultra-patriotic type. Dino was going to get to the bottom of it.
When they arrived in the United Kingdom, it was like Arvid disappeared anytime they were not at the track. Dino even tried looking around the hotel for Arvid, but he was just gone. The team didn’t know either. They just assumed he was staying with family.
Media day came around, and Arvid came running into the trailer almost late. He tried his best to sneak in through the back, but Dino caught him immediately.
“So you think that since you’re at your home race, you can sleep in and stay with your family longer?” Dino chuckled as he shoved against Arvid’s shoulder. Dino didn’t notice the blush spreading on Arvid’s cheeks as he continued teasing. “Did you enjoy a calm morning and breakfast with your family? Are they gonna come pick you up after too for supper?”
“Actually, my morning was pretty hectic,” Arvid chuckled as he walked in step with Dino for the track walk. “My alarm didn’t go off, so I didn’t wake up my girlfriend for her test-”
“Woah, don’t get all delusional on me,” Dino joked, “You’ve never mentioned a girlfriend before.”
“No one’s ever asked,” Arvid shrugged as he ran to catch up with his engineer to look over data. Dino didn’t even have a chance to question it. Did he believe it? No. Did he think it was a cheap coverup? Oh yeah, Dino just needed to get to the bottom of it.
They didn’t have a free chance until they were wrapping up after qualifying. Both of them did well, qualifying first (Arvid) and third (Dino). They had just finished up the debrief, and Arvid dipped out faster than any of the team could blink. It wasn’t until Dino went out to the employee parking lot with Gabriele and Sebastian that he saw Arvid still hanging around. Dino was about to run up and scare him, but he noticed Arvid was on the phone. Like a normal group of friends, they all decided to listen in on his call.
“Qualifying was good,” He chuckled as he kicked at a few rocks on the asphalt. He paused for a second before chuckling again, “Yes. I know. Thank you, lovey.” The boys were confused. Who the hell was he talking to? Maybe Arvid wasn’t talking out of his ass about a girlfriend earlier in the week. The trio looked between each other before Arvid started talking again. “Are you almost here? We can go out tonight and celebrate your test…Okay, I’ll let you drive safely for the rest of the way. I have to confront some eavesdroppers. I’ll see you when you get here. I love you.”
Busted, they all thought.
Arvid hung up the phone with his beloved girlfriend, who he would have rather talked to for eternity, but he also knew his friends would have questions. He can understand why. He never mentioned a girlfriend, nor has he mentioned any interest in a girl. It’s mainly because he always had you, and he never felt the need to say anything. Also, no one asked him about a girlfriend.
Now, he was going to come clean.
“You can ask now,” Arvid sighed as he turned around and looked straight at the group of three.
“Who, what, when, where, why,” Dino rattled off quickly as he approached Arvid.
“And how!” Sebastian shouted running to catch up with Dino and Arvid, leaving Gabriele to calmly walk over on his own. “I need the tea!”
“Who, her name is Y/n. What, she’s my my girlfriend. When, since 2022. Where and why, I don’t know the questions,” Arvid rattled back quickly as all three boys surrounded him.
“Where you met and why you hid it, obviously,” Gabriele stated in a blatant tone.
“We grew up together. She was my neighbor for the longest time, and when I left for the Italian F4 championship, she confessed and ended up joining me toward the end of the season. Why I didn’t tell you, you didn’t ask.”
“You two were dating when we were F3 teammates, and I didn’t even know?”
“She confessed first? That’s cute.”
“Why are we just now finding out?”
“Tough luck,” Arvid laughed as he started going through the follow-up questions of his friends. “Yeah, she confessed. Is that a problem?”
“No, it’s just I thought you would have been the one to confess,” Sebastian replied quickly, thinking he offended Arvid. “Sorry.”
“Nah, it’s fine,” Arvid chuckled, “And you’re just now finding out because you decided to listen in on my phone call now. If you would have waited about 12 more hours, you would’ve met her in person.”
“Is this her first race?” Dino asked still in shock.
“No, did you not listen?” Arvid teased. “She came for the last half of my Italian F4 season in 2022, and a couple of F4 and Euro 4 races in 2023. Whatever ones she could do with her schedule since she was still in secondary school. She was also at the MACAU race in 2023, I forgot about that.”
“So she just didn’t come to your first or second F3 seasons?” Dino didn’t mean to sound so snappy, but he was confused. Just as Arvid was getting ready to reply, a car honking caught all of their attention. The driver rolled down their window, they were met with a random girl except she wasn’t random to Arvid.
“It’s a lot easier to go to European races than it is to go everywhere, especially during my last years of secondary school,” She said with a laugh. “Do you boys need a ride? I’ve got space. It’s not some fancy car, but it gets the job done.”
She wasn’t kidding. Her old Honda Civic looked like it had seen better days, but it still ran, and that’s what mattered. Arvid shook his head dismissively as he walked around to the passenger side.
“Oh, first you say she confessed, and now you’re saying you’re the passenger princess? That’s crazy,” Sebastian teased as he walked up to the door.
“Passenger princess and proud,” Arvid boasted as he immediately took over the music. “Are you guys getting in or not?”
“Hold up, I’m still wrapping my head around this.”
“Dino, either get in the car, and we’ll drop you off at the hotel or we’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Ok, I’m getting in.”
The following day, the talk of the F2 paddock was that Arvid had a girlfriend. Once again, no one believed it. Dino was the one running around telling anyone who would listen, and they definitely thought he was going crazy. Sebastian and Gabriele weren’t making a big deal, so everyone thought Dino was making it up. There was no way Arvid had a girlfriend. He was the type to want to flaunt a girlfriend if he had one, so clearly, he didn’t have one. It wasn’t until the two walked into the paddock that, suddenly, everyone went quiet.
Arvid walked through the scanner in his Red Bull kit and waited for Y/n to scan her pass. It was obvious to everyone that the Prema kit she was wearing was not her own. Once she got through, her hand was in Arvid’s as he led her to the Prema trailer. No one could believe their eyes.
Dino stood off to the side with a couple of drivers as they all watched the two lovers laugh at something before disappearing in the trailer.
“I don’t get it,” Luke cleared the air as he still focused on the now-closed door they went in. “I don’t believe they’re together.”
“Yeah,” Laurens chuckled in agreement. “I don’t see him as the type to pull her.”
“Oh, just wait until you find out the racing driver is a passenger princess,” Dino chuckled off-handedly as he started to walk away.
“You are lying!” Tim shouted after him, wanting to hear more details.
“Nope,” Dino stated with a pop. “I’m not spilling everything. You all thought I was lying about his girlfriend! Why would I give you more tea?”
“Fine, I’ll just ask Sebastian,” Tim shrugged off as he walked off with Laurens and Luke following closely behind him.
“No!” Dino shouted as he ran after them. “Wait for me!”
