Yandere HC
(Y!Miguel x reader)
Synopsis: What would Miguel be like as a yandere for a civilian reader?
Warnings: Mild(Not a lot of Yandere behaviour maybe just him being possessive) Unhealthy behavior, stalking, if someone irl does this to you- RUN
Tumblr media
In the event that you have caught his attention he’d start with gathering information- first and foremost
Anything that was public access was in his hands in mere moments; favorite colour, favorite coffee shop, any pets- friends- family you had posted about? All of this was cataloged into the recesses of his mind
Proceeding past that he’d begin with more private things; health records, home address- even accesing the phone you used on a daily
And oh- was accessing your phone a bad idea; it practically started a snowball effect- the photos, logs, everything on it
It was then that he began to appear around your daily life, not in plain sight of course- he’s smarter than that, but in secret
If you worked at a coffee shop- expect him dropping in for a drink- Worked as a waitress? Suddenly he’d famished
Each close encounter visit was spaced out to an extent- in order to make sure you remained oblivious
After hours he’d spend his time making sure you made it home safe from the darkened shadow of buildings- following allong silently
He’d linger outside the fireescape of you apartment if you lived in an apartment- if you lived in a house he’d simly linger around where he could
He’s the watch and wait type of person for the most part
Would eventually sneak into your place of residence to a) watch you sleep, b) rummage through your belongings- he may feel inclined to swipe a few things just for his own enjoyment
If he begins to grow impatient of waiting he’d just act
Prepare to have the scare of your life as some 6ft something man appears in your home professing some strange love (Infatuation) with you
He’s been stalking your for days now- and he’d spiderman so don’t even think of running or calling for help because he’s already taken care of both
He’d probably feel a mix between excitement and lovesick upon finally being in your presence
Would most definitely wrap his arms around you right away (Struggling is futile)
He’d definitely smell your hair before nuzzing into the crook of your shoulder (Any noise you made really just made him want you more)
This man most definitely lets out a mix between a goan and moan as his senses are filled with you- your skin, your hair, your voice, smell- everything
Your pleads fall onto deaf ears
Would murmur words of comfort into your ear despite knowing you didn’t feel comforted at all
May want to kiss you then and there (You can decide <3)
Expect to be bitten- it’s the best way to transport you from your place to a much safer place (Don’t worry though his venom is only paralytic and he’d be sure to take care of you)
Say goodbye to anything you once knew
Because now- he’ll be the only thing you know, the only person you talk to- only person you touch-
You’re his and he’s never letting you go

Sick HC
(Miguel O'Hara x reader)
Synopsis: You find yourself getting sick, how does Miguel react?
Warnings: None
Tumblr media
It started with a simple tickle in the back of your throat, then a few sneezes, some coughs here and there- until eventually everything hit you at once.
The fluctuating temperature of your body was the easiest to hide, as were the coughing and sneezing fits you had because you could merely pass those off as allergies
It was when your throat had begun to itch and when your voice began to sound like a squeaky hinge did Miguel finally take notice
You’d tried your damnest not to worry him- knowing how busy he was with his duties; but that was a fault in itself
Once he’d notices your lack of conversation Miguel rounded the center island of your shared apartment, hand raising to rest on your forhead despite your quiet protests
“Ay Dios mio- you’re burning up.” Pressing the back of his hand against your cheek to check once again he let out a breath, eyes taking in the sort of kicked puppy look your expression held. “How long have you been like this?”
Despite the soreness in your throat you croaked out an answer, knowing right away he’d be upset with any amount of time. “A week…”
“A week?” He seemed offended for a second, an almost exasperated look crossing his face as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“Because…you were busy and I didn’t want to bother you.” Trailing off you pulled the cardigan you wore a little closer to yourself 
Shaking his head softly at this Miguel right away guided you back to your shared room- the man insisting that you stay in bed and rest all the while he takes care of things
He’d take the day off (Even if Lyla would pester him about it- you were equally as important)
Would bring you an ice pack to bring your temperature back down and would run you a nice bath as well (Would most definitely pick out a set of new PJ’s for you as well as some furry socks insisting that before you put them on that you’d put menthol rub on the soles of your feet- he’d ignore your laughing here insisting that it worked despite how strange it sounded)
Once you were back in bed he’d bring over some sore throat tea and some medication for you to take (He’d set a timer on his phone to make sure you take it periodically)
Water with a slice of lemon in it would always be on the nightstand (Another thing he mentioned that his parents did for him when he was young)
Miguel didn’t cook often- but you bet your ass he would whip out some hidden tucked away family cook book and whip together a nice and warm pot of caldo de pollo to cure your sickness
Honestly, the best damn soup you’ve ever had
He’d check your temperature any chance he could and would let out a satisfied hum as it seemed to drop from its earlier inferno
“Get some sleep mi vida- you’ll feel better in the morning.” Making sure the blankets were pulled up to your chin Miguel leaned forward to plant a gentle kiss on your forehead, the man following it up with one of the bridge of your nose

Injury HC
(Miguel O'hara x reader)
Synopsis: You get injured on a mission, how does Miguel react?
Warnings: None
Tumblr media
A quick in and out, that’s how it was supposed to go. But as luck would have it you happened to walk right into the villains trap landing you on a mousetrap-like contraption.
Try as you might you were only able to dodge a few of the larger traps, some of the blades cutting through your suit and into your skin (Man did you wish your body was as self-mending as your suit was)
What a pain in the ass that villain was
Finally able to web them up and alert the local authorities you’d left the scene (a slight limp to each step but there was no need for regular folk to worry- you’d take care of it)
Arriving at HQ you did your best to hide the tremendous pain you were in, each step was like walking on pins and needles (There might even be some pins stuck in your skin- you weren’t sure)
It was when you were heading towards one of the spare rooms that a particular open doorway halted your steps
Usually, Miguel’s office door was closed 
You took in a breath, back straightening out and head being held up high as if the skin beneath your suit wasn’t becoming saturated with who knows what. You began walking past the doorway, hoping to make a speedy getaway
“Hold it.”
And your plan failed in a near instant.
Plastering on a smile you rotated towards the doorway, choosing to linger in the hallway as opposed to stepping in (Not that you hadn’t already been caught)
Miguels form regarded you from the desk, back leaned against it and arms folded across the expanse of his chest, his expression was clearly unamused however there were hints of concern that flickered across his gaze
“You’re wounded.” It was a statement
“What makes you say that?” You tried to deflect the statement still loitering away from the man
He sighed, hand pinching the bridge of his nose before snapping his fingers and pointing down towards where his chair was.
“Sit.”
Like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar you shuffled over, dropping yourself into the plush chair with a huff
“It’s nothing honestly, I can just take care of-” You stopped talking as a hand was held up telling you to stop, Miguel’s quick glare alone was enough for you to just shut up
Disappearing for a second he’d come back with some medical supplies, a sort of unspoken command coming through as you’d reluctantly deactivated the parts of your suit around the wounds
“They’re not that bad.” You insisted.
He rolled his eyes at that.
“If they weren’t that bad then you would’ve stopped bleeding ages before entering HQ.”
Ok maybe he had a point there
Remaining silent in response you watched as he kneeled before you, disinfectant wipe in hand as he began dabbing at the wounds
The smaller ones just a stung a little, however, the largest one had you flinching- nearly flinging yourself out of the chair had he not predicted this beforehand setting a hand across the chair in order to hold onto the other armrest
A sort of makeshift seatbelt
“Just a little more.” His reassurance was nice however it didn’t make the cut hurt any less
You felt like a cat getting their nails clipped for the first time with how much you were fighting against the arm currently keeping you in place
It felt like ages till he finally wrapped up the large cut, this stage being much more gentle compared to the cleaning of the cuts
“Are we done now?” Feeling as though you’d run a marathon Miguel merely let out an airy laugh in response, head shaking from side to side
“Done cleaning and wrapping those wounds of course.”
“Great, so I can leave now?”
The look he gave you told you otherwise, arms once again folding over one another as though he could practically read your thoughts
“I’ll be suspending your watch for a bit.”
“What why-”
“Because I know you won’t take the time to properly heal.” His hand reached out to flick your forehead, head shaking from side to side before the edge of his lips quirked up.
“Which also means I’ll have to watch over you for the time being.”

Go with the Flow
(Miguel O'Hara x Reader)
Synopsis: What happens when you're stuck in another dimension with someone calling you their mom and someone else calling you their wife? You certainly recognized him- but he wasn't your Miguel.
Warnings: None, honestly had no clue where this was going Tbh
Tumblr media
Getting spit out of the portal in some random alleyway wasn’t exactly ideal-but worse things have happened, such as the damage done to your dimensional travel watch.
For them being designed by scientists they weren’t as durable as you’d hoped, the item currently glitching out hindering your ability to open a portal and or contact anyone.
Great.
With a disgruntled sigh your mask deactivated, the nanotech retreating away. The rest of your suit quickly shifted into civilian clothes, your fingers still trying feebaly to activate something.
At least you weren’t glitching out. That was the only plus side you could see at the moment besides having been thrown into a vacant alleyway- you didn’t even know what dimension you’d landed in.
Grumbling some more under your breath you turned on your heel, regardless of whether or not you were stranded there had to be something you could do- to either get back or get into contact with someone who could then possibly bring you back.
Stepping out of the alleyway your eyes took in the city; it was reminiscent of classic New York, no flying cars, futuristic outfits, people looked relatively normal- you’d say you ended up somewhere similar to Peters or Gwens dimension.
Continuing to wonder around you’d occasionally peer down at your watch, hope flickering like a flame whenever a phantom vibration happened only for that feeling to become snuffed out as nothing new flashed across the screen.
It was times like this where you’d regretted not asking to partner up- especially when there were a few who’d often offer their assistance.
You could handle it, was always the answer you gave then.
So much for that.
Not only was there an anomaly running around in some other dimension but you were stuck here, for an undefined amount of time.
Lovely.
Finding yourself coming across a store that sold TV’s your eyes scanned across the lit screen, the news currently covering what was described as ‘a vigilante hero’- or what you were more familiar with, ‘a spider variant.’ 
Who it was? You dodn’t know, nor did you recognize leading you to assume they weren’t appart of the spider-society- little bit of a bummer there seeing as you couldn’t just find them for help. Not like you knew where they were anyways.
The hairs on the back of your neck raised.
“Mom!” Your head twisted to the side at the sound of a childs voice, heart skipping a beat for a second as a small form quickly bounded your way. The little girls arms quickly moving to wind around you all the while her face pressed into the stomach of your sweater. “We thought you were working today?”
Her head tilted up, (E/C) hues staring wonderously up at you while unruly brown locks surrounded her tanned face. There was something about her that had your brain buzzing, something familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
Hovering your hands over the girls back you felt unsure of what to do; clearly there was a variant of yourself in this dimension that had a kid and now that kid is currently mistaking you for them.
“Uh I was, but they let me off early.” Finally deciding to speak you let out an awkward laugh, one hand moving to pat the girls shoulder gently.
Her expression seemed to lighten up at your words, the little girl beginning to bounce in place nearly shaking you back and forth from the motion. “Really? Then that means you can come to the part with us!”
Us?
“Ella, give your mom some space.” 
Your head tilted up at the new yet familiar voice, eyes following the tall frame of a familiar brunette. His frame dawned a simple pair of jeans and hoodie, eyes appearing more brown than the wine tinted ones you were usually familiar with; extended canines missing from the mans smile.
Your heart fluttered lightly, mind almost mistaking this man as the one you were close with- however that was anything but the truth.
He was Miguel but he wasn’t the Miguel you knew.
The girl, or Ella as you’ve come to learn her name pulled away. Lips still pulled into a gleeful smile as she instead moved to grasp your hand in her own. The action just as quick as the man nearing enough to throw an arm over your shoulder, lips pressing a quick peck to your cheek despite the clear way your shoulder’s tensed up.
Noting this he passed you a worries glance, hand squeezing your shoulder softly in an almost reassuring manner, gradually pulling you and Ella along the sidewalk. “Everything alright at work mi vida?”
Swallowing down the butterflies that quickly flittered about within your stomach you reminded yourself that this was your variants life, this was a different dimension and everyone here was a different variant.
Willing yourself to smile you glanced towards him, “Just the usual, coworkers and the system and stuff.” Beginning with that you added on quickly trying to figure out what the other ‘you’ would answer with- or rather what was something generic enough that it could fly beneath anyones radar. “The coffee machine was down so I’m a bit tired.”
His head tilted at this, mouth opening. “But you don’t like coffee?”
Shit.
“Oh well I mean my coworkers were upset about it so I had to deal with a lot of cranky people,” You forced a laugh, “You know how some people can be without their caffeine.”
“Dad’s cranky without coffee.” Piping in from where she stood beside you Ella let out a laugh, her mind presumably associating that thought with another. “Remember when you hid all the coffee when he forgot your birthday? That was so funny.”
“I didn’t forget it,” His arm dropped from your shoulder and instead tenderly held your other hand. “I was just planning a surprise party.”
Ella didn’t seem to believe it and just stuck out her tongue, the man doing the same.
It was strange really; this wasn’t your dimension and despite how close you felt with your Miguel- this one wasn’t yours, and Ella wasn’t your child. However at the moment, you felt a little obligated to act along- for the sake of your own variant of course.
“And how did that surprise party go?”
Lighting up at the tone you’d used Ella giggled. “Bad! Super bad!”
“It wasn’t!” He tried to defend himself quickly but at the insistence of his daughter and the tender smile that crept across your face he yielded quickly. Just simply shaking his head with a gentle laugh.
After a little more banter- some you tried to join in on- you all eventually arrived at the park, quickly finding yourself pushing Ella on one of the swings. The other Miguel watching from the side as he leaned against the structures support beams.
Sparing him a quick glance your eyes snapped away at the payful wink he’d given you- your Miguel would rather roll his eyes than wink if you so much as breathed in his direction. Albeit he was still kind but in a tough love kind of sense.
Ending up spending awhile at the park playing various little games, you began to dread the next one. Especially considering it was apparently something that the other ‘you’ had made up and it’d be a major red flag if the current you didn’t remember it.
However your saving grace came in the form of the other Miguel’s phone ringing, his lips downturning softly before curling back up. “Looks like work needs me.” His tone was apologetic, arms coming right away to give Ella a quick hug as she ran over. His attention moving onto you as you neared, the mans arms enveloping you much like he had with his daughter.
There was an unfamiliarity to the action, but you just patted the back of his sweater lightly hoping that that’d suffice. “I should be back home in the morning. Okay mi vita?”
“Yeah that’s fine, do what you need to do.” A boxy smile had come to rest across your lips, cheeks heating up as he once again gave them a quick peck following it up with an adoring smile.
He must really love the ‘you’ of this world.
“Be good for mom,” Patting Ella’s head he ruffled her hair quickly, adding on once more before walking off. “Stinker.”
Right away calling out playful insults in response the little girl shook her head, attention moving back to you while she began insisting that you push her on the swings a few more times before leaving.
Now, you would have been fine watching over Ella for an hour or so by yourself, but having to find ‘your’ house? That was a much much different story- it was like a needle in a haystack and the only way you did end up finding the place was because you turned it into a game, having the small girl guide you the entire way there- as well as unlock the front door via a keypad.
“You’re so funny mom.” Watching you open and close all the cabinets Ella let out a laugh, the bowl of mac’n cheese sitting before her was left untouched as you searched through the kitchen for where the cutlery was stored. 
Finally finding where it was kept you gave yourself a mental high-five, handing over the girls desired utensil before leaning back against the counter.
Being a fake mom was hard.
Trying to take a moment to compose yourself your ears picked up the sound of the front door opening, heart rate picking up a little at the prospect of it being your other variant however when another figure stepped in did you pause.
“Dad’s back!” Sliding off of the stood she sat on Ella right away bolted towards the man, her small arms wrapping around him quickly.
However much like you had earlier in the day, he didn’t return it right away. Instead his gaze flickered up to you, (E/C) hues meeting with wine tinted hues.
Your heart fluttered.
“Yeah I’m back kiddo,” His eyes drifted back down to the girl then back up to you as if trying to signify an unspoken question.
Pushing away from the counter seeing that Ella had released the man you couldn’t help but give him a hug of your own- but in relief and to keep up the act for her. “How was work? Didn’t seem like they needed you for that long?”
Picking up on the implication Miguel allowed his own arms to wrap around you, “It was just for a bit, but I might have to head back soon.”
Nodding to signify your understanding you both parted from the intimate gesture; Ella right away making it apparent on what time it was with a loud yawn.
“Looks like somebody’s tired.”
“No I’m-” Her defense was interrupted by another yawn, you right away taking this as your chance to bring her towards where you discovered her room was earlier. “Wait, I want dad to tuck me in today.”
At the mention of that your head turned back towards where Miguel stood stiffly, his mouth opening to decline before seeing the way you stared.
Sucking in a breath he moved to take the small girls shoulder from you, the facade of a caring parent taking over as he’d disappeared into the hallway. “Right of course, lets get you to bed then.”
Now knowing that this was the Miguel you knew, you waited anxiously for his return to the livingroom. You almost instinctually coming to hug the man once again as he emerged from the hallway minutes later.
“It’s so good to see an actual familiar face- you wouldn’t believe the day I had.” Muffling that out into the shirt of his civilian clothes you basked in his presence for a second, mind somehow blocking out the embarrassment until you’d pulled away. An apologetic yet flustered smile made it’s way onto your lips. “Uh sorry about that.”
“Don’t be,” Shaking his head while saying that he took in a breath. “I’m glad youre alright,” Holding out a hand he motioned towards the wrist containing your watch, the device being raised enough for him to view the damage. “I wasn’t able to find you sooner because of the damage done, so I had to get Lyla to run your signature through the system.”
“Well, better late than never. I felt like I was playing house here.” Although you meant it as a joke, the domestic theme of the day made you a little melancholic- knowing that normality was something you’d never have the luxury of having. “Well, was playing house.”
“You seemed into it though.” 
At the comment you gave him a look, the man unable to let out a mix between a chuckle and laugh. “Anyways. We should get going. Any longer here and we might cause a disturbance.”
“Wait- we can’t just leave her alone in the house? What kind of fake parents would we be?”
Upon mentioning the girl, Miguel let out a short huff. “Well, what do you have in mind then?”
“We wait for the other me to come home, and then you’ll get a ‘call from work.”
Pondering over the suggestion he wanted to decline right away, the thought of impersonating someone again left a bad taste in his mouth-however the paternal instincts deep within told him to just listen.
Which is what you both did.
Your variant came home about an hour later, her expression bidding Miguel a tired greeting followed by a peck on the cheek before merely heading to bed.
A little easier than you thought it was going to be. But hey, now you two could leave that place.
You never knew how much you missed HQ until the smooth walls and floors welcomed you, the glowing yellow screens of Miguel’s workplace and the holographic form of Lyla were comforting- especially once the Ai began chatting aimlessly.
The conversation halting as Miguel spoke up from where he leaned over a desk, “I didn’t know a dimension like that existed.” It was as though his brain took a step back from processing things then they were happening, the man thinking back to his late daughter and then the daughter he’d just met.
She had the perfect mix of the both of you- (E/C) hues and brown hair, your nose and his smile.
“I didn’t know either until I landed there,” Musing that out you let out a sigh. “She was cute right?”
Casting his gaze back at where you sat his lips tilted up softly, “She was.”
“She definitely got it from her mom.”
You were stunned at this, mouth falling open before closing. Eyes rolling faintly in response however without verbally saying anything he took that as a win.
Moving away from his desk he trailed towards where you sat, hand coming to brush some of your hair aside nuzzling his nose into the crown of your head- a gesture you were familiar with.
This was your Miguel after all.
Humming lowly he pecked for head, lips murmuring against it afterwards.
“We should think about it.”
“We should.”

Bittersweet
(Miguel O'Hara x reader)
Synopsis: We all know Lyla was based off of something from Miguel's past, but what if there was another Ai that nobody knew about? What's the story behind it?
Warnings: A little sat-Idk, kinda cried a little finishing it, maybe spoilers but I also don't remember
Tumblr media
They say there’s a story behind every person, a reason for what they do and how they do it. But whether or not others knew was the real question.
Everyone in HQ was familiar with the sassy little AI known as Lyla, but what if there was another AI? One that was kept much closer than Lyla- like a toy that didn’t want to be shared.
He didn’t mean to stumble across it, well not that he stumbled across it himself- more like Mayday had gone on one of her explorations of the base having accidentally wandered into Miguel's empty office.
“Mayday! Get down from there!” Hollering up at his daughter Peter began scaling the wall after her, a short yell leaving his lips as she’d popped down landing on the main console of Miguels computer. “Look what you’ve done- now we’ll both get in trouble.”
Jumping down himself Peter moved to swipe Mayday up and off the keyboard; intent on just pretending they weren’t there in the first place had someones voice begin speaking.
“Mayday Parker and Peter Parker, hello!” 
Craning his head around to see who’d spoke his eyes landed on a golden glowing figure, his brain right away associating it with Lyla however upon a closer inspection he could see it was most definitely not her.
“Uh hello,” Trying to figure out what to do or say he glanced around the room for a second as if making sure the aforementioned brunette wasn’t around. “What er well who are you?”
Popping out of existence for a second the small golden glow reappeared before his face, a smile dawning the holograms features. “My names (Y/N), I usually take care of emotional matters regarding Miguel.”
The smile on the holograms face was still present as it spoke, the explanation coming across a little strange in Peters opinion as he didn’t recall the existence of another Ai let alone one that presumably provided emotional stability.
“Emotional matters? So you’re like a?” “A companion.” Finishing what was said (Y/N) smiled once again, holographic hand raising to make a few projected stars seeing as Mayday had become enamoured with the lights.
“Oh, and where did you come from?”
“Base reference 001 has ceased to exist, however I serve as a digital copy.”
“I see, so-” Halting himself from finishing he could feel the hairs on the back of his neck raising, spider senses tingling with a warning of the oncoming futuristic spiderman. “Well we have to get going but can you,” Pointing towards the hologram Peter then pointed towards himself. “Keep this between us?”
Despite knowing that this was one of Miguel’s Ai he had hoped there was at least some semblance of self thinking- his assumption being correct when a zipper motion was made followed by a nod.
What a strange encounter.
Watching Peter and Mayday leave (Y/N) remained still, sensors scanning the darkened room once it was empty- nearly falling into sleep mode if not for the scanners going off as well as Lyla’s chipper voice calling into the room.
Grinning once more the holograms both quickly welcomed one another, the one that’d been stationary within the room quickly chirping a welcom back to the man as well occupying the space over his right shoulder.
Standing just down the hall Peter strained his ears to hear the interaction, mind filtering through millions of ideas before coming to settle on one question in particular.
Just who was (Y/N)?
---
“So you’re telling me, that there is restricted access to the person you were modeled after?”
“As far as I can tell yes.”
“So you don’t actually know anything about them or well you?”
“I know what I am programmed to know?”
“And what’s that?”
“That I’m (Y/N) and I’m Miguels companion.”
Conversations like this seemed to pop up whenever Peter felt curious enough to sneak back into Miguels office, he couldn’t help but be a little bitter that the man never mentioned the Ai in any sense considering how close- or rather how close he thought they were.
“Ok no see- that feels like you’re a pet or something. You had to have been a real person at some point right? Or a real something?” Waving his hands around he emphasized his points a little. From his knowledge Lyla was modeled after something from Miguel’s past, therefor this new one should be no different.
Growing quiet (Y/N) sat cross legged in the air, hand resting beneath their chin while trillions of layers of code circled through their data filled mind. A sort of frown beginning to etch itself onto their glowing face. “I don’t know, I’m not really programed to know that kind of thing. So there’s really only one person who could help you answer the questions you’re asking.”
“Yeah it’s beginning to seem that way,” Letting out a sigh Peter rubbed the bridge of his nose, it wouldn’t hurt to try.
---
“Come on Miguel- “
“No, you asking this mean’s you’ve been snooping. End of discussion.” Snapping back at the robe clad man Miguel’s gaze hardened, hands curling tightly at the though of Peter intruding on something that was supposed to be private. “How did you even activate it in the first place?”
Rubbing the back of his neck Peter let out a sheepish laugh head turning to the side as if to avoid the man’s intense stare. “Mayday fell onto the console and pressed some buttons- but really she didn’t mean to, and if it’s any consolation I think that (Y/N) is pretty friendly. Really life like.”
Sucking in a breath, Miguel raised a hand in order to run it through his hair, brows furrowed together and lips pressed firmly shut.
He wasn’t sure what to say.
“But hey I mean if you want to keep it a secret then that’s fine by me bu-”
“(Y/N) was a lover of mine,” Beginning with that he’d cut Peter off, steps continuing to carry him towards where his workspace was under the assumption that Peter would follow. “The real (Y/N).”
He could almost remember everything as clear as day.
The smell of coffee pungently filled the air, chatter hummed throughout the small shop and people came in and out of the establishment.
That was the first time he’d met you; bright smile and an equally bright personality. A barista was your occupation however later on around the second time he’d come in he’d come to learn you were also a student. Biochemistry was what you were studyin, a hard field but you seemed to tolerate it nonetheless.
He admired that.
Around the third and fourth time dropping in he’d taken note of the little doodles you’d often draw on the sleeve of his to-go cup, little flowers and the occasional bee if the afternoon rush wasn’t too busy.
You seemed to admire the man as well- if not worry about his caffeine intake considering how frequently he’d begun dropping in.
He was attractive, that much was clear. Tall dark and mysterious is what you and your coworkers would call him, however he seemed less mysterious and more reserved the more you got to know him, almost like there was a certain hesitance around building up friendships with others.
You’d taken the initiative first during his twelf visit, pen in hand as well as the sleeve of Miguels coffee- the man’s name being learned when you had to write it along the side.
To say he was presently surprised was a bit of an understatement, the set of digits scribbled into the side of his coffee had the edges of his lips quirking up only the slightest bit. A short wave quickly being spared your way.
That was where it all started. When the meaningless texts were passed back and forth, little snippets of conversation- everything that led up until the first date.
A cute little restaurant he’d picked out on the corner of maine; you seemed to adore the decor, even going as far as asking the man to take a picture of you beside the trellis of flowers outside. Which, of course he did- how could he say no?
One date, turned into two and then into three until eventually you’d somehow wormed your way into the deepest parts of his heart, past the cement walls he’d constructed and completely bypassing any prerequisite that might’ve existed.
A couple, that’s what you were now.
You liked surprising him in the mornings before having to head out to work, and he liked coming home to find you sound asleep-- taking the time to slip himself beneath the sheets where he knew you’d welcome him with open arms.
You were his light, something he fought for and wanted to protect until the end of time.
However spidermans story was a cruel one, one full of anguish and heartache- one where taking was the only thing the world did.
“Miguel, how come you come home so late.” Coming to muse that out you laid against the man’s chest, hands stretching up much like a cat in order to gently play with the brown strands.
Raching up to take one of your hands he pressed a gently kiss to the palm, relishing in the soft warmth it had before folding your fingers softly in order to rest his lips against your knuckles. “It’s so I don’t miss the beauty that is your presence in the morning, mi luz.”
Airily laughing in response you took in a breath, eyes staring up adoringly at him.
What you two had was pure; something he hadn’t felt in ages. The way you were able to lighten up his day with a single look was enough for him to think farther ahead, he never wanted this feeling to go away.
“But I miss you when I get off of work, making me wait all by myself.”
The pout on your lips was adorable.
Chuckling he shook his head, body raising slightly in order for him to be able to kiss the top of your head. “I miss you too.” Taking a moment to think about what he wanted to say Miguels hand released yours, instead both of them coming to cradle your cheeks softly. “How about this, I’ll get off work early and we can go for dinner?” 
Your expression lit up at this, lips curling into that beautiful smile that never failed to make his heart flutter.
God did he love you so much.
As he retold the story to Peter, Miguel could feel his heart begin to clench, suit clad feet coming to stand on the rising platform of his work place motioning for the other man to follow suit all the while continuing, a bitter taste to his words.
Everything was set, the reservations were made, an outfit was picked out for you and laid out among the bed- everything.
His gaze focused out the apartments window, small velvety box clasped tightly within his hand.
You were perfect, everything he dreamed about, everything he thought about. From the smallest hair on your head down to every breath you took- he loved you fully and whole heartedly.
So why, why did the world have to be so cruel.
A threat that wasn’t of his world had come spiraling in, he remembered that day vividly as the buildings surrounding downtown began to crumble one by one.
Try as he might there were only so many lives he could save, so much he could do against a foe that wasn’t of his world. 
Spidermand wasn’t a killer, but on that day he saw red. 
“The last thing I ever got was a kiss on the cheek that morning and an I love you.”
Having been starring into the back of Miguels suit, Peters gaze trailed towards something the man had pulled out of a nearby compartment. His heart aching for the man.
It was a velvet box.
“Some things should stay buried, but I didn’t want to forget.” Turning around he leaned against the consol, the small golden holographic form of (Y/N) appearing in an instant, projected hands moving to pat his shoulder reassuringly despite the touch never being felt.. “It’ll never be perfect, I know that.”
“But it’s all I’ve got.”

A Rock and a Hard Place
(Miguel O'Hara x reader)
Synopsis: You'd always consider yourself an older sibling to the younger spider-folk, often taking them under your wing despite Miguel's distaste for it (Something you ignored knowing he'd have to just tolerate it) So what happens when you meet Miles and everything you'd looked at from behind rose-tinted glasses changes?
Warnings: SPOILERS FOR ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED (Also plot change- sue me if you don't like it IG)
Tumblr media
Since joining the Spider society you’ve accomplished three things:
One, taking anyone younger than you under your wing and practically acted as an older sibling to them. Two, established yourself as one of the higher ranking spider-people - Surprisingly enough, and three, somehow making it onto Miguel's good side- the man shockingly enough taking a liking to you despite the rambunctious and loud nature you had.
He was a grouchy man from what you could tell, stiff and nearly the equivalent to a locked box- however with enough prying and enough unannounced visits you found him beginning- albeit perhaps a bit reluctantly- warming up to you.
“You’re a pest (Y/N), you know that?” Letting out a deep sigh from where he stood Miguel casted his gaze back at where you sat, suit-clad feet resting up on one of the consoles while a screen hovering in front of you.
Some strange sitcom that you and Lyla had begun watching was playing across the screen.
Folding your arms over one another your gaze moved to meet his own, a playful hint to your expression. “Well if I’m a pest then why don’t you just kick me out?”
Starring at you for a good second he simply grumbled a few choice words, head shaking as you’d scrunched up your face in success.
You and Miguel were in some sort of unspoken relationship it seemed, neither wanted to say anything but also enjoying one another's presence to the extent that either of you would miss the other when they were gone on a mission.
“Whatever.” Rolling his eyes he huffed in annoyance, however the faintest of smiles quirked across his lips.
Moving to resume watching your show with Lyla the soft ping of your watch halted you from doing so, the edges of your lips fully quirking up at the series of messages sent from one of your ‘children’ as you’d like to refer to them.
Seeing you pop up and out of your chair he couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “Where are you going now?”
“Just going to check on the youngsters.” At the mention of that you could see Miguel roll his eyes, however, the man didn’t do anything to stop you merely just casting you a look that said ‘Stay out of trouble.’
Not that that was something you could easily do.
---
Honestly, you only meant to check in on Gwen and Pavitr, the latter of the two having sent you a quick message about the new guy who’d dropped in as well as the appearance of Hobi- much to your confusion. But upon arriving you were quickly met with- a mess.
“What even- what is that?!” Your feet skidded across the cement, the eyelets of your mask widening as you turned around to address the four standing behind you; almost as though the hole would somehow leap out and drag them in.
“Well, I said it was a metaphor for capitalism.” Stuffing his hands into his pockets Hobi mused out, his tall frame coming to peak into the void down below. “Poetic innit?”
You rolled your eyes at that, holding back a laugh knowing that the situation should be taken seriously. “I came here to say hello to the ‘new guy’ not deal with-” Looking down at the gaping hole you finished. “A black hole.”
“Sorry but mi-” “New guy? That’s me!” The slim form occupying the space beside Gwen piped in right away, the kid almost instantly hopping over to shake your hand despite you not offering it. “Miles Moralis, or Spiderman- but I mean Spiderman of my world of course but were not there right now obviously- so just call me Miles.”
Leaning to the side a bit in order to spare Gwen a look, your attention returned to Miles, eyes partially closing and hand returning the handshake. “Nice to meet you Miles, you seem like a good kid.” At the slight praise, he visibly perked up. “(Y/N) is the name.”
You already liked the kid.
Slumping a little as an arm was thrown over your shoulder Hobi leaned his weight onto you, other hand motioning towards where you stood. “(Y/N) is like our big siblin, we can get away with anythin- well almost anythin.” Using his hand to cover part of his mouth as though he were telling a secret he added on. “They’re a little cushy with the big man though so-”
“Ok ok enough of that,” Cutting Hobi off and shaking off his arm you let out a mix between a huff and a laugh. “It’s nice to meet you though.” It was your turn to cover part of your mouth, “Gwen talks a lot about you.”
“Hey-” “Sorry not sorry!”
There was some more quick conversation between the three of you, Pavitr coming to join soon after inquiring on how his world would be- to which despite not knowing what had happened or who they were facing- you decided to reassure him.
Something that Jess did as well when her and a few others arrived in order to assess the damage and whatnot.
She seemed a little displeased with your presence however waved it off and gave you the brief instructions to bring the others; Hobi, Miles, and Gwen, back to HQ.
“The big boss- what’s he like?” Coming to walk beside you Miles spoke, hand fiddling with the day pass he’d been given in order not to glitch out.
“Scary-” “Kinda like a dictator a little.”
You gave Gwen and Hobi a look at their comments, the two hushing right after upon knowing how you and the man they spoke of were.
“He’s straightforward,” You began casting a quick look towards Gwen, “maybe a little scary,” Your eyes then moved back ahead. “But he had what’s best for all of us in mind.” Since entering HQ You’d taken off your mask, deciding now yo flash Miles a reassuring smile. “He has a kind heart and I trust in his decision.”
Taking your words to mind he nodded his head, a question popping into his brain quickly. “Uh are you and you know this boss uh-” “They're fuck buddies, respectfully.”
“Hobi!” Nearly hissing his name you flashed him a glare, finger pointing accusingly his way before your attention quickly returned to Miles opting to correct what was said. “Miguel and I aren’t fuck buddies- Just close, I mean I’d like to say we’re close.”
“That's why I’m saying you’ll be fine.”
---
Boy did you feel like a liar.
With the way Miles stared at you in disbelief- you might as well have traveled into his world to kill his dad yourself.
You had no clue this was the course of things, no clue of the pent-up anger and resentment held for the boy you’d just met, and you certainly had no clue he was going to contain Miles to a cage- basically.
Now, you just stood back, stunned at what was going on and stunned at the way Miguel handled the situation.
“Miguel, this- this isn't right.” Raising a hand you moved to place it on the man's arm, his attention flickering over to you. The angered and irritated look he had when addressing Miles softened only a bit as he spoke.
“This is what needs to happen. For his sake. For your sake. For all of us.”
Your heart fell at this, Miles’s banging against the containment shields growing more frantic until it stopped- a wave of electricity firing from the device or rather from Miles rendering it deactivated.
The shockwave had sent everyone tumbling to the floor, the first one to act being Miguel who’d lurched forward clawing at the ground in order to move quicker.
Your eyes met Peters from across the floor, a torn look being shared between you two- however, unlike you, he’d gotten up right away following after the herd.
Sucking in a few breaths trying to make a decision you’d slipped on your own mask, webs firing from your wrists in quick succession.
Your mind was made up.
You’re helping the kid go home.”
---
“Miguel!” Finally finding yourself catching up enough to call out you swung from side to side in order to avoid the traffic within the highway to the moon, body right away swinging full throttle into the man having caught him while he’d been pinning Miles. “This is wrong! What’s wrong with you?”
Recovering quickly from being tackled he stared back at you, a glare clearly shining through his mask as clawed hands gripped the vehicle you’d swung into. “This has to be done (Y/N)! You can’t change what is already written.” Despite not wanting to engage in a fight he let out an irritated breath, hand roughly gripping your shoulder intending to move once he’d noted Miles recovering.
“He’s just a kid!”
“He’s an anomaly!” Having enough Miguel shot his own web forward, the force of it dragging himself and by default you away from the vehicle you’d dragged him into, “He shouldn’t exist in the first place!” Shouting the last part he shot another web forward intending on continuing his pursuit.
“That’s not for you to decide!” Following suit and firing your own web you caught up quickly, heart hammering within your chest as you’d begun trying to deter him. “You preach for justice but is this really is?!”
“Stop interfering (Y/N)!”
Coming to swing at his side once more he caught your leg using your momentum to toss you back. “Just stay down!”
“I can’t!” 
The (F/C) strings of your webs came back, splatters of them sticking to Miguel's mask, inevitably leading him to backtrack for a moment- the surprise on your face must’ve been evident as you hadn’t expected to be football tackled and pinned to the side of the tunnel. Miguel’s angered frame towered over you, the front of his mask deactivating for a second as he spoke, ruby hues boreing through your mask.
“It’s me, or him (Y/N).”
Biting your tongue at the statement you watched his jaw tighten, gaze hardening at the lack of response.
Without much else to say he’d raised a hand, neon webs right away stucking your limbs down despite the protests that left your lips.
“Miguel wait-” “We’ll talk when I get back.”
Rising back up he casted you one last look, something that was almost disappointment before bolting off.
To say you were stuck between a rock and a hard place was an understatement.

Spider-Sitters
(Miguel O'hara x reader)
Synopsis: Peter needs a babysitter for the evening and who better to ask than you and Miguel?
Warnings: Idk baby fever maybe, this is kinda cute, got my heart melt a little
Tumblr media
Sitting on one of the brightly illuminated chairs you spun in place absentmindedly, nothing particular in mind as you'd only really been there to keep Miguel company. The man having been working all day without taking any sort of break- despite you bothering him about taking at least one.
‘This can't wait it has to be done as soon as possible’ was always the answer- something you and Lyla both agreed was a bit much but what could you do besides just sit there and hope your presence someone eased the man’s nerves.
“Incoming Spider-Personel.” Lyla’s voice came and went quickly as the platform began it’s slow dramatic descent, the platform barely nearing the floor when a small figure had fallen from the ceiling- your spider sense quickly kicking in as you’d shot a web catching the small redhead; your lips curling into a smile right away.
“May May! Hi sweetie! How are you?” Cooing your words at the small child she giggled in response, her small hands making grabby hands towards where Miguel stood, drawing out a laugh from you. “No no honey Miguel’s a little busy.”
Another person had joined the platform soon after Mayday had, Peter's apologetic face coming quickly into view as he began talking to you as opposed to your clearly annoyed partner. “Sorry for dropping by so unexpectedly but I have a favour to ask.”
Propping Mayday onto your hip you motioned for the man to continue, his next set of words enticing a huff in annoyance from Miguel.
“Well, I was wondering if you could watch Mayday for the evening, wife and I wanted to have a sort of date night and you know finding a babysitter for a baby that can crawl on walls- uh that might but be easy.”
Right away understanding what he was asking your lips curled into a warm smile, “Oh yeah that’s not a problem, Miguel and I have no problem taking care of this little spiderling.” Cooing a little once again towards the girl you pinched her nose softly, a quick side eye following suit as you’d taken note of how Miguel had turned to stare.
The man surely wanting to object, but choosing to bite his tongue instead.
You were a stubborn one.
“Really? Aw thanks a mil, I’ll be sure to repay you guys when we get back.” Moving to squish his daughter's face into his hands and press a quick kiss to her forehead Peter gave you a look of gratitude, his fatherlike stare coming down to rest back onto his daughter. “Uh ok her bedtime is six o’clock, she doesn’t like broccoli and her favorite show is the bouncing fruits on youtube. If there are any issues don’t hesitate to text me.”
“Yes yes of course, now go enjoy your time with your wife.” Using your free hand you shooed the man away, shaking your head with a soft smile only to roll your eyes at the sound of a huff beside you. Your attention now fully on Miguel waiting to hear what he had to say.
“Miguel and I have no problem? I didn’t agree to babysit.” Repeating what you’d said to Peter he let out a breath, hand raising to run through his hair while his gaze pulled away from the computer screens to focus on where you stood.
The sharpness of them softening a little at the sight of Mayday's bright smile as well as the way you held the girl.
“Come on Miguel, it’ll just be this once.” Shifting Mayday into your hands you held her out towards the man bringing her back so that her face was right beside your own. “And how can you say no to these faces?”
Taking in a breath he observed the way you puffed out your cheeks, lips pursing out a bit all the while Mayday outstretched her arms- trying to grab at him.
“Fine. Lyla, save the progress and close up the computers.”
“Roger that boss.”
Waiting for the screens to close down Miguel let out yet another sigh, hand motioning towards you and Mayday. “Come on.”
Following right away a victorious smile couldn’t help but cross your lips, something the small girl right away took note of by patting your cheek with her little palm.
She was so cute.
---
Having brought Mayday back to yours and Miguel's shared apartment you right away brought out some drawing supplies- or well more like a few highlighters and pens that the small girl seemed entertained enough with.
Standing over the kitchen sink to wash a few of the dishes you’d used to give Mayday a snack, your gaze moved toward Miguel. The man having been leaning against the counter on the opposite side of where you were, head tilted to the side and attention focused on the small redhead.
“Go and sit down with her.”
At the soft call of your voice, his head turned in order to face you, the hardened expression he typically wore cracking the slightest bit. “What?”
“Go sit down with her and draw or play a game, something like that.”
Wanting to object right away at what you were implying the look you’d given him merely drew out a defeated sigh, his arms falling from the counter and with heavy steps, he neared the table planting himself into the seat across from hers.
After a minute or two of sitting with her, you noticed how he spoke to the child; soft and almost playful, a pencil had been clasped between his fingers as the redhead had convinced him to draw her a cat.
It warmed your heart to see Miguel like this, you two had been together for quite some time now but you knew how much he hesitated about being around Peter's daughter- that much was clear from day one. Although despite that hesitance he never seemed to let her fall, let her hurt herself, etcetera.
It was most certainly the paternal instinct he had tried to suppress.
You found it endearing.
Getting pulled out of your thoughts by a gentle tug at your pant leg you turned off the sink, eyes trailing down towards the little girl who called for your attention.
Smiling gently down at her you noted how her hands were smudged with pencil lead, a soft laugh leaving you as you leaned down to pick her up. “Your hands are all dirty.” Musing that out you turned the water back of softly pulling her hands into the stream where you then gently washed her hands.
Coming back from the table himself Miguel watched what you were doing, a soft smile gracing his lips as he held his own hands up. “My hands are dirty, can you wash them too?” He laughed at the comment, some more following as you’d taken Mayday's hand using it to splash some water at him.
Mayday giggled at this, the little girl practically bouncing in place within your hold.
So cute.
---
“You suck at braiding hair.”
An offended gasp left your lips at Miguel's comment, hear tilting over the couch to face where he leaned over the back of it, hand under his chin and a slight quirk to his lips.
“You’re so mean, why don’t you do her hair then? Huh?” Having Mayday currently sitting in front of you, you gestured with the hairbrush toward the girl's unruly red locks. Her childish giggles filled the room quickly upon being raised into the air being handed towards your partner as he rounded the couch.
“Fine, I will,” Taking her from your hands he sat down much like you had, lips still curled into a small smile as he spoke confidently. “Watch and learn Hermosa.”
Rolling your eyes at the comment you took his previous place leaning over the couch, eyes watching the way he occasionally brushed Mayday's hair back parting it into two sections. It seemed almost routinely how he worked so effortlessly with her hair, making sure he kept her small hands busy with a scrunchie.
Two neat French braids curled down the girl's head, some small hair clips you’d found around the apartment dotting her hair as well.
“See? What did I tell you.” Leaning back against the couch Miguel stared up at you, his gaze was warm, lips still curled into a gentle smile upon seeing how you reflected the look.
“Fine fine. You did a good job, Miguel,” Leaning forward a little you have the tip of his nose a quick peck seeing as that was all you could reach. “Maybe I should get you to do my hair one of these days.”
He smiled triumphantly at that, head returning down to the girl sitting before him, hands coming to lift her off the ground and into the air almost playfully.
Watching from your spot between the kitchen and living room you laughed softly, eyes shining with pure adoration as this was a side of Miguel many- even yourself sometimes- didn’t get the opportunity to see.
A tingle in the back of your mind had you gradually moving towards the front door, hand reaching for the handle to swing it open just enough to stop Peter’s hand from knocking.
Holding up a finger for him to remain quiet you brought him into the apartment, the two left in the living room still goofing off until Mayday’s gaze fell upon her dad. The girl squawking out in excitement as Miguel set her down onto the floor.
“There’s my girl! Did you have fun! Looks like you did, looks like you did! Aw look at your hair too.” Right away beginning to coo at her Peter swiped her off the ground, kissing were peppered across her face in an instant before his attention returned towards the two of you. “Thank you guys so much for watching her, I really owe you one.”
Having moved to stand beside Miguel you smiled happily at Peter, “It was no problem, she was such a delight and if you ever need someone to watch her again I’m sure we have no problem.” Your hand moved to take Miguels, the man responding with a gentle hum and nod.
Sparing Mayday a final wave you watched the pair leave, your hand faintly tugging away from Miguels before he’d just come to wrap you in a hug; arms bunding around your waist while his chin came to rest on your shoulder.
“Gonna miss the little spider-girl?” Questioning him softly you tilted your head to rest it light on his, hand coming up to comb your fingers through his hair.
With a low hum he seemed to nuzzle into you a little, eyes glancing to the side at your expression. “Maybe,” He began swaying a little, fingers rubbing circles into the shirt you wore, “But this got me thinking.”
“Ok, thinking about what?”
“Well,” Pulling away a little to properly look down at you he seemed to think over what he was going to say, mind going a mile a minute. “What if, we maybe…” His eyes moved towards the door where Peter and Mayday had left through, the rest of his question being implied.
Staring up at him your lips curved into a smile once again, hopping up onto your tiptoes to peck him on the lips quickly. 
“We can try.”

There's a Problem
(Miguel O'hara x reader)
Synopsis: Miguel is turned into a cat by a villain, Peter and Jess need someone to watch him until they find out how to fix it- this is where you come in, however, they neglect to mention that Miguel is the cat you're now tasked with looking over.
Warnings: None, lack of romance tbh but still kinda cute
Tumblr media
“What’s the problem? Where’s the emergency?” Arriving at HQ out of breath and half put together you leaned against the doorway to the meeting room, mask to your costume in hand as you felt there wasn’t enough time to put it on.
“(Y/N)! Thank god you’re here.” Peter’s robe-clad form right away came over to greet you, the man's arm moving behind your shoulder to bring you farther into the room. “We had er- a little problem.”
Raising a brow you side-eyed him, gaze briefly spotting Jess also occupying the room, the woman's arms folded as her head shook from side to side in some sort of impatiens.
“Problem? What do you mean by problem? I thought there was an emergency.”
“Well I mean it’s kind of an-” “We need you to look after something for a bit,” Cutting the man off Jess spoke, the woman's loud voice quickly cutting through the air as she’d rounded a table. “Think of it like a mission.”
“Alright,” Somewhat following along you watched the woman with a skeptical stare. “What do you need me to do?”
She seemed the finally pause, her form kneeling a bit in order to pull something out from underneath the table. “We need you to watch him for a bit.” Rising back up she seemed to hold out a cat?
The fluffy brown feline seemed more than displeased with being held, it’s equally as fluffy tail swishing back and forth angrily.
“A cat? You need me to watch a cat?” Knitting your brows together you watched the two respond with a nod, the animal being placed back onto the floor where it begrudgingly trotted over occupying the empty space in front of you.
“Yes well,” Peter paused upon feeling the intense stare Jess had given him, the man releasing a laugh. “Yeah, we need you to watch him, very important and whatnot.”
Blinking while trying to process what was being said you sucked in a breath letting out a sigh; kneeling down you held out a hand towards the cat trying to beckon it over. “Does it have a name?”
“Mig-” “His names Mog.” Cutting Peter off Jess nodded her head. “We’ll pick him up later, but until then we just need someone we trust to look after him.”
You thought it was strange how they both spoke about the feline and how they chose you out of everyone to watch said feline, seemed a bit fishy. “Couldn’t you have gotten one of the others to watch him?”
Peter’s hand came quickly to rest on your shoulder. “Miguel trusts you and therefore thats why we figured you’d be the best choice.” Turning his head a bit he added on quietly so that only you could hear. “And we all know how you li-”
“Ok ok, I’ll take care of the cat.” Shoving the brunette away you let out a huff. “Jeez can’t tell you people anything.” 
“You’re a saint.”
Rolling your eyes you moved to pick up the cat, your hands coming to wrap around it despite how reluctant it seemed. “Yeah yeah whatever.” Shaking your head once more you turned to head out of the office, cat in hand as you muttered to yourself. “Basically blackmail.”
“They so owe me.”
Taking a moment to see that the cat had a mere daypass wrapped around it’s neck like a collar you made the decision to just bring it back to your apartment. The animal seeming less tense once you’d made it out of HQ however it still refused to leave the spot on your couch that you’d sat him on.
You’ve had cats a few times growing up, however, this one just felt different from any cat you’d met.
“You are- certainly something Mog.” Finding yourself kneeling before him to stare into his little face your eyes took in the strange colour of his eyes, the brown colour was mainly present however near the center it seemed to become a ruby hue.
Pointing a finger towards the cat you held it up to him, trying to see if he’d rub into it like any other cat- however, he just raised a paw to push your hand away, tail flicking back and forth.
After a few more failed attempts to coax the cat into doing cat like things, you’d inevitably given up. Hand raising to rub the bridge of your nose as you’d mindlessly flicked on the TV to some random channel.
It was beyond your comprehension as to why Jess and Peter had a cat in HQ appart from spider-cat, and to ask you to watch it nonetheless?
Wild.
Figuring you’d leave the cat to do his own thing you trailed into your room, falling face first onto the bed intent on the possability of taking a nap.
Remaining on the couch for a few minutes the felines gaze trailed around the room, little knick knacks and picture frames littered the small space, as did a random assortment of blankets. There was the smell of vanilla in the air, presumably from a wax warmer however he’d also noted how you carried that scent as well.
Hopping off the couch he crept towards the rest of the room, eyes taking in the rest of the apartment as well as the little things that seemed to make it unique. Stupid little stickers were stuck in random places and he could tell some of the posted noted stuck to the fridge were from the youth of the spider society.
You did like to take care of everyone.
Taking a moment to stare at each note he eventually trotted towards where he assumed your room was, the curtains had been closed leaving only a sliver of sunlight to shine in.
Finding that the room was just as decorated as the rest of the apartment he moved towards the desk, the newfound cat agility making it easier to hop onto the surface. Gaze right away moving towards a turned off laptop.
He shouldn’t.
But, he’s good at keeping secrets so…
With the tap of a paw on the trackpad the device lit up, no password seemed to inhibit anyone from accessing the device which was both a good thing and bad thing. Good in that he didn’t need a password but bad because anyone could access it and see the photos you’d used as your wallpaper- each having a different member of the spider society.
Somehow navigating the mouse he tapped a few things opening up one of the photos, the title of it being ‘the loml’.
What did loml mean?
Sitting there for a good few minutes he gave up, attention moving to some more photos you’d taken, each having similar labels.
A disgruntled growl left the feline, his paws nearing the edge of the desk where he’d leaped from landing on the bed with a silent thump. Each paw moved with careful precision as he neared where your face was, a series of meows with the intent to wake you up leaving him.
Cracking your eyes open at the sound you let out a low groan, “Didn’t like what was on TV?” sarcastically asking that Mog merely meowed once more, his little snout jutting afterwards towards where your computer was.
Squinting a little bit to note what he was trying to get at you glanced towards the cat once more- there was something certainly strange about this particular brown cat. Your spider senses have been off the hook since leaving HQ however you just figured this is why a normal person couldn’t just take him in.
Sitting up you rose up from the bed, hands pulling out the chair tucked beneath your desk all the while Mog trailed over as well, the feline popping up onto your thigh quickly to peer over the surface.
“Did you open some stuff?” Tiling your head down while asking that you shook the thought away, reminding yourself that a cat couldn’t talk. 
Brown and red hues stared up at you almost innocently, a sort of expectation followed after as though he were asking you what was going on on the screen.
Shifting to sit more comfortably you raised a hand pointing towards the screen, “This one’s me,” You pointed towards the left side, “And this one is Miguel.” Your hand trailed to the right towards where the less than enthusiastic man stood. “He looks really crabby but he can be nice when he wants to.”
Glancing down you took note of how the cat’s whiskers twitched at your answer, dual-toned gaze returning towards the desk where he then hopped onto, head rubbing the corner of the screen where the title of the document rested.
“Sometimes I think he carries too much.” Mindlessly musing that out you let out an airy laugh, the cat's attention seemingly solely focused on you now, as if trying to get you to continue with that train of thought.
Which you did.
“I know he’s  got it rough, but I mean- I just don’t think anyone should deal with that alone- right?” You stared at the brown animal almost expectantly, hand coming to brush through your hair quickly. “I guess they say animals are the best listeners.”
Taking in your words he let out a trilling noise, stepping towards the edge of the desk where he seemingly nodded his head up and down.
Reaching out a part of you felt happy when Mog had let you gently pet his head, fingers scratching the side of his face softly.
“You’re so cute.” Cooing softly you continued to pet the cat only pausing once you felt that it was enough, you couldn’t afford to get attached to the animal knowing that Jess or Peter would be dropping by later in the evening to pick him back up.
Perking up a little Mog turned his head towards something shiny off to the side, his tail swishing back and forth as he tried to figure out what exactly was wrapped around one of the many water bottles scattered around your room.
Noting where he was looking you let out a soft laugh, body rising from the chair in order to bring the bottle over taking off the item of interest.
It was a bracelet.
“Made this for someone but I don’t think he’d want it,” Taking the bracelet off the bottle you held it in your hand to show Mog, “He’d not really the accessory type.”
There was a sort of bitterness to your words; there were many occasions that you’d tried to get in the good graces of the leader of the Spider-society, and despite the insistence from Peter that you were liked- it didn’t quite feel that way.
“Whatever though, here let's hide that day pass for now.” Making sure that the bracelet wasn’t too small or too big you slid it over Mogs face happy that he seemed to let you, the item now sitting neatly around his neck. “So handsome.” Cooing once again a smile gradually broke out among your face.
Taking in your expression Mog let out a churr, the noise causing your smile to widen.
---
“-and then Hobi and I got stuck on the train, honestly have no clue what happened after that but the mission ended pretty quick. He’s not great with damage control though so we got an earful back at HQ.” Finishing your story absentmindedly you continued moving throughout the kitchen.
Yourself and Mog having migrated there after lingering in your room a while longer.
“Oh my god and Miguel- so we were both like absolutely coated in mud and whatnot and didn’t think about the mess it'd track in- so he absolutely reamed us out.” You laughed briefly at the memory lips curling up into a smile. “Although I do think Hobi got the brunt of the scolding.”
Taking a moment you thought back to that day, recalling how you’d been able to avoid most of the yelling and instead were told to just go and clean up.
Maybe Peter was right to some extent.
With a sigh you paused whatever you were doing, arms folding over one another as you leaned onto the counter that Mog sat on.
“You’re a good listener.” Turning your head to the feline you extended a hand finding that he allowed you to pet the back of his head once again.
Taking a moment you turned, both hands coming to squish Mogs little face pressing a quick peck to the top of his head. “If Jess and Peter weren’t coming to get you I’d a hundred percent just take you in.”
At the mention of leaving Mog let out a huff, his tail swishing back and forth as though he himself didn’t want to leave.
It was homey here, you were homey.
Deciding that you weren’t hungry anymore, you’d moved to scoop the cat off the counter, holding him within your arms much like how one would hold a baby.
“Let’s go watch some Netflix or something- they updated black mirror.”
—-
The quiet atmosphere of your apartment was interrupted briefly as an orange glowing portal illuminated the room, Peter’s form stepping out.
“(Y/N)? I’m here to pick up the cat.” Calling out into the apartment the man let out a sigh upon hearing no response, slipper-clad feet scuffling across the floor towards the open doorway at the end of the hall. “(Y/N)?”
Hesitantly peeking into the room the man let out a soft laugh, his eyes took in the way you and the cat sat.
Your laptop had been sat on the covers in front of you, all the while you laid on your side, one hand resting over the brown feline as he himself curled up comfortably.
“Knew it.” Holding himself back from fist pumping the air he trailed towards the two, hand reaching over you in order to poke the sleeping feline.
A low Murr left him before he rose his small head, eyes landing on Peter.
“Come on, we gotta go.”
Almost reluctantly slipping out from beneath your hand the cat gave a short stretch inevitably leaving with Peter.
It was a few hours later that you’d begun to stir, the feeling of something heavy sitting along the edge of the bed barely registering in your mind.
Rubbing your eyes with a yawn you’d sat up, joints cracking in response.
“Sleep well?”
Jumping at the voice your head snapped around, eyes landing on the corner of your bed where the form of Miguel surprisingly leaned on.
The head of his suit was deactivated leaving his face readable.
“Yeah yeah, it was good- er what are you doing here?” Having stood up from the bed trying to make yourself a little more presentable a sheepish smile crept across your face. Your eyes briefly flickered around the room in search of a certain feline.
“Just wanted to give my thanks.”
Blinking in response to what he was saying you opened your mouth to question the statement, pausing once he’d raised a hand to display his wrist.
A bracelet was wrapped around the blue and red suit, the bracelet you’d put on Mog.
Wait.
“Hold on- you,” Pointing a finger at the man you pieced your thoughts together; Jess and Peter keeping this hush-hush, you being tasked with pet sitting, the cat having the same striking pair of eyes that Miguel did- 
You were so dumb.
“Let’s just keep that between the four of us,” Noting how you’d pieced things together he let out a hum, head shaking from side to side a little in a sort of amusement.
Running the palms of your hands down your face the tips of your ears burned, your form face plant back into the bed with a muffled groan.
Head popping up briefly to speak, “Can we also forget the last few hours? For humility’s sake?”
At the mention of that, the edges of his lips quirked up head tilting back to regard you with a teasing smile. “Why? Am I not handsome anymore?” He couldn’t help himself in commenting that, the man chuckling softly as more groans arose from you.
Deciding to continue on he leaned over a bit hovering above where your head was, “Not cute? No more praise for being a good listener?” At the sound of you muttering something incoherent he couldn’t help but grin, eyes taking in the way you hid yourself.
Moving so that he could kneel on the floor at the foot of your bed his hands reached out to press against the sides of your face pulling it out from within the covers, an obvious embarrassed look covered your face.
“Really though, you could say this was…eye opening.” Resting his chin onto the covers he stared into your eyes, a genuine look of gratitude crossing his features followed by a hum. “However I do disagree with being crabby- I like to think I'm more work-oriented,” Taking a moment to think he added on, thumbs both coming to brush against your cheeks. “But, maybe I do have too much on my plate.”
Giving your face a gentle squeeze he pulled back, hands moving to rest against his hips as a new question dawned on him.
“Now answer me this, what does loml mean and why did you label all our photos with that?”

My little Moth
(Yandere Miguel O'Hara x Moth!Reader)
Synopsis: When someone is a mix between two species- who's to say things can't go awry? You certainly didn't expect this city to have, spiders.
Warnings: Stalking, Obsessive behaviour, Breaking and entering, Non-consensual touching, Biting, Use of paralytic agent (Tee hee), Non-consensual drugging (Near the end), Idk maybe more but I forgot
Tumblr media
Your heart pounded from within your chest, lungs struggling to catch up with the sudden action and hair standing on edge. The fur around your neck bristling as did the fur coating your antenna, a sore attempt at scaring off your persuer however that had already failed miserably.
The rough concrete below dug into your skin, little scrapes and cuts beginning bloom across the surface all the while your wings twitched pathetically against the stranger that’d pinned your down. A heaving chest was pressed against the centre of your back, heavy breaths rusling the hair along the side of your face.
“Please…-” A pathetic whimper left your lips as a nose had nuzzled itself into the crook of your neck, the dusty fur being blown about from their deep breaths.
How did taking a late-night stroll lead to this? You had no clue.
The hand that’d been planted against the back of your head seemingly began to retract, the person body releasing a low chirr. “Stay down.” It was a low command, something that was spoken almost directly into your ear considering the man's previous proximity to your face.
Another second or two passed, his face once again pressing against the length of your neck before pulling back in a quick succession. His body raised from yours and as quickly as things happened- it was over.
The only thing being left behind was the disappearing glow of his webs and your racing heart.
Remaining frozen in place the hairs across your body remained standing, as though you were expecting the perpetrator to come back.
However he did not and you were able to somewhat collect yourself in order to leave, eyes darting every which way until you’d made it to the safety of your home.
---
That night you barely slept a wink, eyelids heavy the next morning as you began your daily routine. With careful precision you brushed at your hair and fur adamantly, a sort of ick running up your spine as part of the tuffs had been flattened.
Fluffing it back up after you splashed some water onto your face, a deep breath of air entered your lungs as you’d murmured a sort of quiet affirmation, inevitably leaving the comfort of your apartment in favour of some more professionally made beverage.
Something hot should wake you up- surely.
“Damn you look like shit, did you sleep at all?” The friendly barista whom you’d gotten the chance to befriend upon first moving into town tilted her head while extending your drink over, her eyes sharing some playful worry assuming that you’d just stayed up to watch a TV show again.
Gratefully accepting the cup you blew gingerly across the top of the scolding liquid, lips coming to press across the rim taking a much-needed sip before answering. “Just couldn’t sleep. Is all, still have some unpacking to do.” the lie left your lips effortlessly, you’d unpacked weeks ago but it wasn’t like she knew.
She was still a new friend, there was no way you could just- dump a random event on her just yet.
“You still haven't unpacked everything?” Leaning over the table dividing the employees from customers she stared at you incredulously before letting out a soft laugh shaking her head. “Of course you haven’t- well if you need any help just send me a text. A hangout is long overdue.”
Nodding your head you bid her a short wave, shoes tapping against the establishment's wooden flooring before stepping out onto the concrete sidewalk. 
There must’ve been some sort of bad juju that had attached itself onto you or something- because as soon as you’d rounded the corner the hairs across your body rose stiffly. Antenna twitching at the sight of what looked to have been an airborne fight; the forms of two individuals clearly present.
One dawned large leathery wings and bat-like features; while the other donned a simple form-fitting suit.
Blue and red.
You paled a little at the sight, familiarity wracking through your body at not just the individual but at the sight of the neon-colored webs. Something that right away inhibited the aggressor's actions effectively gluing the bat-like creature to a nearby building.
Just relax, you weren’t the only person watching the fight unfold.
Your antenna were the first to detect it, the wings attached to the back of your body nearly flaring up in response; a stare so strong that it could melt your very being could be felt, a mixture of emotions hidden away beneath the hero’s costume barely concealing the thinly veiled intent.
Your eyes feared leaving his form, scared that in doing so it would show some form of compliance- you at least needed to stand your ground a little, especially when there were people around giving you false confidence.
The red de-called mask stared down at the crowd for a moment more, only disappearing fully once the sirens of police cars made themself known.
Suddenly you didn't want your drink anymore.
---
Tiredly entering your apartment after a long tedious day you stifled a yawn, hand raising to rub at your tired eyes, wings dragging across the floor behind you like a cape- you had no strength to keep them tucked in.
Trying to go about your evening routine you’d eventually just found yourself drifting off among the worn cushions of your sofa, wings thrown across yourself like a makeshift blanket and antenna flopping onto the cushions as well- the two occasionally twitching.
Sleep had seemed to illude you for the past two days; your mind practically craving it enough that it chose to ignore the cool chill of air creeping into your apartment, choosing to block out the shifting of curtains and choosing to pass off the carefully silent footsteps as the building settling.
It took him a bit to clear his schedule for this, suit-clad feet padding softly across the quaint apartment.
The place practically invaded his senses; trinkets of yours, decorations of yours, everything of yours.
He’d been trying to ween off his stabilizers recently, finding that he worked faster- more efficiently without them, however, the drawbacks were only brought to light when you’d crossed his path that faithful night.
It was like a switched was flipped in the deep caverns of his mind, something that craved the chase, craved the smell, craved the feeling of something much smaller- much more fragile and something…that fit hand in hand with his own biology.
And oh, how you fit perfectly.
A breath was taken, his attention shifting at the sound of a short sigh. The sofa had become the main item of interest quickly, every nerve in his body practically screaming against the slow pace he’d taken to approach it, eyes drifting across the tightly curled-up form of you.
Your wings appeared to have become loosely thrown about, one being held delicately between your hands like a blanket whereas the other was pressed up awkwardly against the cushions, your antenna bobbing up and down twitching occasionally.
How cute.
Raising a hand he leaned over the back of the couch, careful not to move the piece of furniture as that would surely wake you. The tips of his fingers just barely skimmed the curve of your chin following it up toward your ear, the gesture drawing out a quiet hum from you and a low satisfied hum from him.
You’re lucky things weren’t ready yet- Or at least that's what he thought before willing himself to leave the apartment, claws unknowingly leaving indented scrapes along your windowsill.
Upon waking up in the morning you could just tell something was wrong, the temperature of your apartment was low- almost bone chilling compared to the usual warm temperature you kept it at.
Rising up from your spot on the couch your antenna twitched, nose raising up to sniff the air before the hair around your neck began to raise. Head twisting around to stare into every corner of your apartment and feet hesitantly beginning you to each room as if expecting something to jump out.
The air was distinctly different; a sort of spiced fragrant barely being noted alongside a musky note- the latter in particular causing your wings to tuck closer into yourself, the appendages becoming some sort of safety blanket.
Danger. It smelled like danger.
Straining your ears for anything you’d trailed back into the living room, eyes snapping towards the gentle movement of one of your curtains the window shielded by them seemingly open and the reason for your apartment's cool temperature.
However, despite wanting to believe you had mistakenly left it open, the pair of scraps lining the windowsill told you otherwise.
Your apartment wasn’t safe.
---
“Of course, you can stay over! I’ve been dying to just have a girl's night.” Your friend seemingly welcomed the idea instantly, her face lighting up in excitement having invited you over plenty of times previously only to be met with a gentle decline. “I can grab some wine and we can watch some old shitty horror movies- this is going to be so fun!”
Nodding along and trying to reflect back her excitement you couldn’t help but remain tense, the feeling of being observed present and blatantly obvious since leaving your apartment that morning.
“Sounds good, uh when do you get off?” Shifting your hold on the to-go cup in hand you shifted in place trying to pass off your blatant uncomfort- not towards your friend but towards the way the hairs on the back of your neck rose.
Go away.
“I get off at around 4.” Seeing you nod your head she smiled once more in excitement. “This is going to be so fun I can’t wait.”
“Can’t wait either.” Sparing a few more words you took your leave, your pace quick and your heart began to speed up within your chest. Looking around seemed fruitless as nothing out of the ordinary stood out.
Lost in paranoia you’d failed to slow your pace upon rounding a corner, the beverage you held as well as yourself crashing not so gracefully into the large body of someone. Apologies right away spilled from your lips however a hand landing on your shoulder halted them.
The feeling and pressure of it practically burned you, your body tensing beneath the stranger's hand as your gaze followed it up.
Deep brown pools stared down at you, the man’s gaze coming across as worried although there were hints of auburn that challenged that worry. His brows were furrowed faintly, the shape of them fitting well with his sharp features, as did the brushed-back brown hair.
He was tall, very tall and had the scent of spice.
Unable to hold yourself from jolting back as his other hand waved in front of you, your forgotten he’d already been holding your shoulder.
“-are you alright?” His voice was deep, pleasant even but the timber of it had your attention instantly, a sort of uncomfortable feeling ran beneath your skin as you couldn’t quite pinpoint why this stranger had your senses going crazy.
“Oh uh yeah I’m fine.” Swallowing down your apprehension you apologized once again. “Sorry for crashing into you, I hope nothing got on you.” At the mention of that your eyes briefly trailed over him once more- it seemed like you got the entirety of the drink on yourself.
“Are you sure? It wasn’t hot was it?” Despite the question coming across as concerned you couldn’t help but begin to bristle, the fur around your neck brushing up against the strangers hand.
Why? What’s wrong? What’s making you so- scared?
“I’m sure-I’m sure uh I should get going,” Casting your gaze around you nodded your head along with what you were saying, the dampness of your clothes and this strangers presence both leaving you in varying levels of discomfort.
 Noting the way you tensed beneath his hand, he let out a hum, gaze fixed to your face. “Right, sorry for keeping you. Try not to run into anyone else.” The last bit of his sentence seemed teasing, albeit it felt more like a warning than anything else but you took that as your ticket to leave.
Your head bobbing into a nod at what he’d said and when he’d finally raised his hand from your shoulder did you walk past him, continuing for a few blocks until it turned into a jog.
You wanted to get out of there.
Tilting his head over his shoulder to watch you disappear into the crowd he pressed a hand against his lower face, head shaking from side to side as the corner of his lips curled up.
You were adorable.
---
“-and then we had this crazy lady come in who literally ordered the most complicated drink I’ve ever heard of,” your friend paused to take what she’d declare was a much needed sip from her wineglass continuing right after. “And the best part was,” she leaned towards you. “We just gave her a frappe. I mean she didn’t care and just kinda left after but what a grumpy old bat.”
Having been nursing your own wine glass you hummed back indicating that you’d been listening. Your friend chiming back in after to ask how your day had gone. 
“Well I mean could’ve been better,” Finding that your words were a little slow you shook your head following in your friends lead of just downing the whole glass. “I ran into the strangest person- some giant of a man, spilled my drink and everything.”
“Was he hot?”
You gave her a stern side eye, rolling them right after when she’d held up her hand in surrender.
Another glass was poured for the each of you.
“I don’t know it was just strange, I felt like I knew him- but I’ve never seen him in my life.” At least that’s what you assumed.
“Does this have to do with all that?” Her hands motioned towards your more animal like qualities while questioning their part in how you felt.
“Problably- but I don’t know lately I’ve just- I haven’t been having a good time you know,” you might as well just spill what has happened- it wasn’t good to keep everything to yourself.
“Few days ago I got jumped while walking home- dude was like freaking out or something and then after that someone’s been coming into my apartment- crazy shit really.” You weren’t sure if it was the alcohol or exhaustion that made you not take what you were saying as seriously as it sounded.
The buzz going on in your brain felt nice despite the topic of conversation.
“Damn,” Processing what you’d said she hummed in thought, wine glass raising into a cheer as she herself was past the point of sobriety. “Well you know what I say? I say I’ve got a new roomie.”
“What? No I can-“ “Nuh huh none of that what’s said is in stone, this mother fucker can go through me first.” Although her words were slurred you took it to heart, lips curling up into a genuine smile while you raised your own glass to cheers with her.
After that whole conversation the two of you wasted no time in polishing off one of the wine bottles- your friend doing more of the drinking than you had however at this stage you both were way past sobriety.
Being the most functional out of the two of you, you’d dragged your passed out friend into her room. Your own body swaying with each step as you’d not so gracefully dragged her into her bed turning around with the intent of cleaning up at least a bit.
Maybe put the glasses away.
During this whole ‘dragging your drunken friend to her room’ scenario your fur had flared up, antenna puffy as well but swinging around in response to the alcohol in your system. Your brain hadn’t quite registered the signals that the rest of your body was trying to omit. 
Instead you just mindless picked up the empty bottle resting on the ground, a sudden need to turn around registered once your hand wrapped around the neck of the bottle.
The item being raised as swiftly as your dizzy brain could only to be stopped once it was in the air, the tight grip that had found its way around the wrist that held the bottle caused cold dread to fill your veins. Antenna flattening against your head and wings tucking so tightly into your back that you thought they might fall off.
“No need for that.” 
Your heart stuttered from within your chest, eyes blown wide at the sight of the very person who’s been plaguing your life. The thumb of his hand seem to press roughly into the veins on your wrist, a high pitched noise forcing its way out of your mouth as the hand that held the bottle was made to open, the item quickly being set aside by neon threads.
The noise you’d made set his mind ablaze.
With his hand still wrapped around your small wrist he’d tugged you forward, your arm raised awkwardly while your other hand went to put some space between the both of you- inevitably just being squished as his other arm came to secure itself across your back.
Your wings tried to flutter in discomfort, hand that’d been raised in the air now beginning to lose its feeling as pins and needles began to set in.
The sound of your heartbeat practically thundered through the apartment, the thought of calling for help drew across your blurry brain however what was anyone supposed to do?
This was someone who was supposed to protect the city- what if you were just thought of as some sort of bad guy? What if- your sporadic thought were cut short as he leaned forward, head nestling itself into the crook of your neck like he’d done during your first faithful encounter.
His deep inhale and exhales had goosebumps rising across your skin, your fur standing stiffly despite not doing anything to ward off the man.
A deep rumble erupted from him, a mix between contentment and annoyance.
The hand across your back tightened.
“Was he hot?” The deep timbres of his voice had you reeling in on yourself, his warm breath breaching through his mask onto your skin.
“What?” You hadn’t a clue what he was asking.
“The man you’d run into. The ‘giant of a man’ as you’d said.” This had you feeling even more uneasy than you already were, him asking that only meant he’d heard your and your friends whole conversation.
He’d been there this whole time.
Swallowing thickly you thought carefully about how to respond, this man could break every bone in your body if he so desired- at least that’s what you thought.
“Well?”
With a quiet squeak at the pressure he’d suddenly applied to your raised wrist you answered. “I think so?” The pressure on your wrist continued leading you to sputter out some more words. “Yes sure I don’t think he was bad looking- please- I don’t know what you want me to say.”
Like a pressure had been taken off your chest he’d mercifully released your wrist allowing your arm to fall back to your side. 
There was a moment of tense silence before he’d pulled back a little, the feeling he was about to say something could be felt however much to your delight it seemed as though someone was calling him.
Now why Spider-Man had a work phone was beyond you- it didn’t matter right now.
“cabrón de mierda-“ The foreign language right away hit your ears; you didn’t need to know what he said to know that he was pissed.
Not your problem- your problem right now was trying to figure out how to get yourself to safety.
Stiffly watching the man begin typing something into his watch, you took the opportunity to creep towards the fire escape, your fingers coming to rest on the handle near the bottom trying to unlock it as quiety as you could.
The hinge creaked.
With a jolt, you squeaked in surprise as a neon orange web stuck the hand that’d been trying to open the door aside. Your breath beginning to hitch as you tugged pathetically against the web, head turning to the side noting how his mask clad face was turned your way.
“Listen, I’m busy. Call you later.”
His jaw clenched beneath his mask, the call ending quickly and just the silence of the apartment engulfed the two of you.
Shrinking in on yourself as his tall frame approached, your antenna flattened against the crown of your head. “Please- what do you want.” Struggling some more against the webbing you clenched your eyes shut as his hand raised.
He seemed to just take a moment to caress your head softly, his other hand coming to rest on the window behind you before wrapping his arms around you as if it were a comforting hug. “Mi polilla. Mi pequeña polilla,” His hand continued to pet the back of your head, his head coming down the rest in the crook of your shoulder once more. “You’re shaking like a leaf.”
 “Do you want money?-valuables? Please-” “I have all I need here.”
Your heart stuttered within your chest and the sound of small metallic clinks filled your ears, brushed back brown hair popped into your peripheral however before you could think much about it your body tensed more at the feeling of lips beginning to pepper your skin.
A squeak left you and a low rumble left him.
“You’re everything I need,” He breathed out into your ear, lips ghosting over it. “Wanted.” Pressing a peck to your cheek he pulled back enough to look you in the eye, his suit covered hand moving to cup your face pressing a thumb and forefinger into your cheeks.
Your eyes widened as the man you’d crashed into stood before you- this, this was why your senses were going crazy.
This-
He was there all along.
Seeing the way all your thoughts connected he let out an airy laugh, the warmth from it caressing your face. His thumb caressed the skin of your cheek, eyes zeroing on the way his grip had caused your lips to pucker.
“You’re everything I desire.” Without waiting anylonger he’d leaned forward, lips mashing into your own, moving with a long awaited eagerness and hunger. His grip was bruising, the hand on your face keeping you from moving away despite the quiet squeaks you’d let out, it only seemed to spur him on more.
Sharp point of his canines nipping at the tender skin of your lower lips, as if asking for permission before inevitably invading the cavern of your mouth. A choked up noise left you in the form of a breathy whine, your wings twitched behind you all the while your fur stood on edge. Your free hand tried desperately to push the man away however it ended up getting sandwiched between the both of you.
Pulling away after what felt like an eternity the hand that pressed into your cheeks had fallen, instead moving to curl around your free hand- fingers lacing with yours as though you were a mere couple.
“(Y/N), my (Y/N), my little moth.” Purring out the words he trailed his lips back down the curve of your chin pausing right down the middle. He could feel your pulse thrumming beneath the skin, breaths hard and fast, mind going a mile a minute.
“I’ll be the first and last thing you think about day and night.”
“Just let me go.” Trails of salty liquid began to trickle down the side of your cheeks, heart stuttering within your chest. “I promise I won’t say anything- I, I don’t even know your name.”
Hearing the way your soft voice stuttered, stumbling over your words he could only shake his head letting out a sigh, lips raising to peck the base of your timple, his words caressing your ear. “Miguel sweetheart, and I’m sure you’d keep that promise,”
He paused trailing back towards the column of your neck, lips curling up to reveal pearly white fangs. “If I had the intentions to let you go.”
A loud yell was close to leaving your lips had he not moved his hand from the window to cover it, your eyes were teary once again, the sharp pain in your neck had you squirming- sock clad feet slipping against the floor trying one more fruitless escape attempt that, deep in your mind you knew wouldn’t work anyways.
Appart from the bite, something else could be felt- a cold fog creeped through your body, pins and needles beginning to set in and everything was beginning to feel too heavy to hold. Your eyes barely trailing to the side in order to see the brunette pull away, trickles of red smeared across his lips. The mans eyes glowing a dim crimson colour.
Standing back up he stared down at you, an amused tint to his expression as he’d effortlessly ripped the webs sticking your hand to the wall. His hands right after coming to cradle you as your legs gave out, mind growing hazy.
Your tongue felt heavy, the overwhelming sense of danger quickly dissapearing within a sheet of paralysis.
Casting his gaze back down he let out a deep churr, satisfied with the situation.
His lips came down to gently press against the crown of your head, his words melting into the city’s ambiance as he’d easily slid open the window you struggled with.
“All mine.”

Father's Day HC
Miguel O’Hara as a father HC
Warnings: None, just wanted to write the Dilf being a dad
Tumblr media
Absolutely the first to arrive at the soccer meet- might even be the coach if his kid really wanted that but otherwise he’s there to cheer them on
Ended up picking up whatever sport of hobby they're into so that he can teach or just enjoy something with them 
He’s not very good at doing long hair but he took some time to Google and watch videos to practice (might even go to a hair salon and ask them- but that’s if he was desperate)
Mad barbecuing skills- this man is an absolute god
Expect the best birthday parties ever (He’d take the upmost care into decorating things exactly how his kid wants it)
Head pats for praise (I love him)
Uses the bunny method for teaching his kid how to tie their shoes
A king at doing character voices when reading bedtime stories
Probably tickle attacks his kid
Peppers their face in goodnight kisses
Will check under the bed for monsters 
He’s more than happy to help build or play with toys as long as his kids happy 
Always has snacks and a kool aid pouch on him
Keeps a picture of his kid in his wallet 
Has a handshake with them (that he forgets occasionally but plays it off as changing things up)
He’s low key a helicopter dad but from a distance 
Would absolutely commit murder for his child (💔)
His way of comforting his upset child is to hug them and sway lightly while rubbing their back
The type of dad that would spray his kid with the hose when watering the lawn
Also the type of dad to blow you away with the leaf blower
Overall Dilf- all the single women in the neighborhood have their eye on him (me I’m single women)

The Real World
(Miguel O'Hara x F!Reader)
Synopsis: Earth 1218, a place where superheroes and supervillains were nothing but mere fiction- however with the current rise in multidimensional travel- who's to say someone can't get stuck in another place?
Warnings: None, maybe bad writing again Idk
Tumblr media
It’d been a long day in your opinion, work was draining, people were draining- everything was draining.
You had to fight the urge to collapse in the entryway hall of your apartment upon entering trying to roll yourself to at least change into some comfortable clothes. At least you had the rest of the week off- the plus side of taking over some extra shifts you supposed.
Quickly peeling off your uniform and tossing it across the room you dawned some random loungewear set; finding yourself quickly tucked within the corner of your couch. Eyes sleepily watching the brightly coloured movie Netflix had recently added.
“Is he voiced by Nicolas Cage?” Murmuring to yourself while watching the monochromatic character speak you let out a sigh. The newest addition to the series had come out not too long ago and in your opinion, it was one of the best movies of the year.
Sucks that you’d have to wait a year for part two, but at least there was a plethora of fan content surfing the internet. Specifically edits and art of your favorite character,
Miguel O’Hara. What a man. 
Shaking your head a little at the thought of simping for a 2D character when you were less than capable of keeping a conversation with a real person had you laughing to yourself.
The picture presumably coming off as crazy if you had a roommate or anyone else staying in your apartment, however, it was just you.
Beginning to doze off once again, your eyes barely took in the sight of King pins collider on screen. The bright light of the screen illuminated your entire apartment as though a spotlight had been shining into the room.
The sound of metal clashing against something grated against your ears- you didn't recall having surround sound let alone speakers hooked up to your TV, and why was it so damn bright.
To your relief, the light began to die down, although contrary to the peace and quiet you’d have you were unexpectedly shoved back alongside your couch.
You and the large piece of furniture flipping onto its back skidding across the hardwood floors only stopping once it'd crashed into your dining room set.
Eyes wide and brain startlingly awake now compared to a few second ago you shot up only to duck as a metal pole? Weapon?
No no, it was moving it was moving a lot.
A metal claw had seemingly embedded itself into the wall, the base of it extending in an array of wires inevitably connecting to- the back of a person?
If you weren’t in a state of shock at the moment you were sure your brain could process things better- however between the metal tendrils and claws flying around your apartment and the other sudden intruder clinging to the ceiling- you didn’t think you’d ever recover.
The scuffle they had began to grow one-sided, the other individual who you haven’t quite gotten a good view seemingly winning the fight.
Well, at least you thought they were until the other swung their tendrils around once again, knocking the stranger into the wall where the dining set had been shoved into.
“I had fun really. But I must be going. Tests to run and, other heroes to deal with.” With an almost condescending wave, the perpetrator had opened what you could only describe as a bright orange doorway, their form disappeared just as quickly as the person beside you had shot up.
An irritated yell left them upon being unable to catch the doorway, their tall form standing almost eerily in your living room all the while growing increasingly more annoyed as the watch wrapped around their wrist failed to work in the way they wanted it to.
Careful this time around to peek over the flipped couch your mouth nearly fell open at the illuminated red and blue suit, the man's voice loudly filling the apartment. “Lyla! Lyla, can you hear me? Anyone- Damn it!”
Growing more aggravated he couldn’t help but begin aggressively tapping the face of his watch, only to result in nothing.
A few more low complaints left him before he sucked in a breath beginning to assess the room. The apartment was trashed thanks to his recent fight, however, that didn’t catch his attention quite as much as the sight of you peering over the edge of your flipped couch.
“You,” pointing an almost accusing finger he’d sucked in a breath trying to make his next words less intimidating despite the irritation he felt. “Where am I?”
The question was simple, something he should’ve known however circumstances proved otherwise.
Almost surprised he’d noticed your presence your mouth felt dry, however despite the way your heart thumped and your brain buzzed you answered. 
“Earth. 1218 if you want specifics.”
The eyelets of his mask seemed to widen a little at that, his attention moving around the room once again falling upon the surprisingly still-playing movie. The scene where everyone had joined together to fight the main bad guy to be exact.
Unmoving from your spot you waited for his response, nerves still buzzing and palms beginning to sweat.
Remaining quiet he raised a hand rubbing at the bridge of his nose, the head of his suit gradually disappearing until untamed brown hair was revealed. “This,” trying to figure out what he wanted to ask his head turned back to you, his eyes boring into you. “Actually no. You, know me? Yes?”
Nodding your head in response it seems like that didn’t quite give him any reassurance, so instead you spoke. “You’re Miguel O’Hara, Spider-Man 2099.” Finding yourself processing things a little better you'd added a comment. “But the Across the Spider-verse version.”
Nodding his head his hands crossed over one another, the man began to pace back and forth a little in thought.
He couldn’t believe it- out of millions of universes- he was stuck in the one where Alchemax didn’t exist.
Great.
“Was that Doctor Octopus? Or I mean one of them?”
Hearing you speak up once more his gaze moved to meet yours, a hand raising to address you. “That shouldn’t concern you.”
“Ok well if it doesn’t concern me, then why is my apartment trashed and why are you standing in my living room?”
Finding it in you to chime back right after you went to stand only to duck back down behind the couch realizing that the shirt you’d happen to throw on was a printed copy of the man’s suit.
Continuing to stare down at you his jaw clenched, arms coming to overlap one another. 
Miguel had decided to ignore your input for the moment speaking as though he didn’t care for property damage. “Do you have a computer I could use?”
It was a simple question however with a nod you’d hesitant stood up again, this time snagging the blanket you previously had on to hide your attire. “Yeah…it’s uh over here.” 
A bit wary of passing the man your eyes casted across him, a part of you wanting to engrave each detail into your mind while another part still had a tough time dealing with the situation.
He was so much taller than you’d thought- buffer too and much much more intimidating. 
Following with quiet steps Miguel took in the rest of your apartment- quaint really. A little clutter here and there but he supposed it just gave the place some character.
“It’s a bit old but…” “This’ll be fine.” Cutting in Miguel had stepped in through the doorway you held open, large form sticking out like a sore thumb against the small guest room where you’d stuck a computer and desk, trying your best at making an office.
“Password is 2099.” At this point, you could feel exhaustion begin to creep in once more, the adrenaline felt earlier wearing down. “If you need anything I guess just uh call?” 
You really should’ve thought everything out a little more, however, perhaps this was some strange dream and you’d really just passed out at work. 
Either way, you were certain things were going to be fine by tomorrow morning.
---
Waking up and walking towards the main area of your apartment you barely concealed a yawn, tired eyes briefly drifting across the room seeing that the couch was in its usual spot, as was the rest of your furniture.
However, despite wanting to believe everything was a figment of your imagination- the dents in the wall and the man currently staring out the window told you otherwise. From the neck down his suit seemed to still be present, while his face remained free of the costume.
“Morning?” Finding yourself growing nervous once you’d come to the acceptance of a fictional character standing within your apartment, you remained observing him from a distance, sock-clad feet shuffling towards the kitchen where you tapped your fingers among the counter. “Did you want like a coffee or something?”
Taking in a deep breath Miguel's gaze looked towards where you stood through the reflection in the window, eyes sharp yet his form was less ridged than it was the night prior. “How likely is it that I get recognized here.”
The question was simple, something he could guess the answer to given the circumstances however it didn’t exactly hurt to get an outsider's perspective. He’d spend nearly the entire night looking into resources that could possibly help only to come up upon practically nothing.
He was basically on his own here.
Having made a fresh pot of coffee you’d poured two mugs in case the man decided he wanted something, your hands coming to curve around your own as you pondered over the question. Eyes trailing across his back for a second finding that the cartoony and animated look he had yesterday didn’t seem to stick and that he appeared more lifelike- or well, human-like in the sense that someone could just think he was a cosplayer or something along those lines.
“I wouldn’t say that likely?” Watching him turn around from his spot, the man regarded you with an inquisitive gaze, one that practically told you he was trying to gauge what kind of a person you were. “But don’t you have to get back to- you know?”
Seeing the way he noted the implication you were a little surprised as the man began nearing, the wrist that his watch had been wrapped around being lifted above the counter in clear view for you to see. “Do you see this?” With his other hand, he motioned towards what appeared to have been some sort of rust, the corner of the glass screen beginning to become chipped away. “Nanobots. They’re going to keep eating the exterior and interior until nothing is left.”
Now, there was a part of him that didn’t really want to divulge in any information with you- a part of his brain feeling like he should be guarded instead knowing that you knew more about him then he did about you. 
It rubbed him the wrong way- But, it was also a common thing in this universe, so he couldn’t fault you there. If he wanted to get back and deal with things he’d have to make a new watch entirely from scratch, and if he had to do that he needed someone who knew their way around considering he was now pretty much left with only the bare minimum of information around your world.
Earth 1218 wasn’t particularly a place he wanted to be stuck in nor really pay attention to. A fault on his end he will admit.
“So? What are you planning to do?” Hesitant to ask more questions you tried to read the blank look set out across his face, the man’s brows faintly furrowing all the while he’d ended up silently accepting the other mug of coffee you’d made.
A small win in your books.
“I need to build a new one.” Answering simply he stared over the rim of the mug as he took a sip, brown hues boring into your skull as if tempting you to speak.
“And what is your plan there?”
At this point it’s not like telling you wouldn’t hurt, heroes didn’t exist in your world and neither did villains so he supposed the random civilian whose apartment he’d landed in at least deserved at least some explanation. 
“Since the portal opened up in your apartment the interdimensional specks are still present here, they can be utilized to open a new doorway through a catalyst where one will open temporarily back to where the original one had opened up- which was my dimension.” Quickly explaining that he finished looking over your slightly confused look before letting out a sigh, the mug briefly being set onto the counter. 
“When you start a barbeque you turn on the propane first right?” You gave a nod and he continued, “Then you use the sparker to light the propane.” He paused letting you absorb his example, the man right after using his hands to gesture around as if he were talking to a child. “The propane is like the specks and the catalyst is the sparker.”
“Do the specks ever leave?”
“I don’t know,” Finding that he himself didn’t have an answer to that he let out a breath, hand beginning to tap along the countertop. 
“But this is why I need to move fast.”
---
Now, it wasn’t that you didn't want to help Miguel- quite the contrary you were elated to have been able to help him. However, he still was one of your biggest fictional crushes and currently, you’d both been crammed within the confines of your small car. A glimmer of regret sparked across your expression upon realizing how strange the music on your phone was as well as how much of a fan you actually were.
So embarrassing.
Despite your clearly tense form, he seemed rather calm. Eyes taking in as much as they could all the while running his fingers across the civilian clothes he’d swapped into. He trusted your reassurance of people not being able to recognize him, the small mirror within your apartment becoming an item of interest as he noted the change in his appearance.
It was very strange. 
“So do you like, have a mental list of what you need? Or are we just going to walk in blind?” Willing yourself to break the silence you’d pulled into the parking lot of a department store, something you assumed would have at least some of the things that Miguel would need.
“I have a general idea. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Great.” Finding yourself still sitting in the car despite having parked it you watched Miguel slip out through your peripheral, the man’s tall frame stepping away from the car only to pause.
Was…wait, was he waiting for you?
As if realizing this, you scrambled to collect your things quickly slipping out of the car and locking it behind you. Your shoes tapped against the cement as you’d caught up with the brunette coming to walk an arm's length away.
Stepping into the store you’d moved to grab a cart, arms folding over the handles as you trailed behind your newly three-dimensional companion. His sharp gaze scanning each and everything occasionally seeing something of interest into the cart.
“What is the most recent thing that was invented here?” Glancing back at where you leisurely strolled behind him Miguel watched as his voice had caused you to jump slightly, attention trailing away from whatever was on your mind.
“Probably VR? That’s I think the most recent thing. No flying cars or anything like that here- too much of a liability really if you think about it. People are stupid.”
Unsure of what to really take from that answer he couldn’t help but let out a low snort, head shaking from one side to the other in a sort of agreement towards your ‘people are stupid’ bit.
Conversation after that seemed to come a bit easier, the topic ranging from either of you asking a question to the other or just something else mundane.
It wasn’t really much longer till the two of you were back in your apartment, bags in hand filled with miscellaneous items that may or may not help with Miguel's current situation. It didn’t take long for both of you to part; you mentioned how you were going to patch up the holes left in the wall and Miguel just motioning towards your office which at this point had become his temporary residence.
At least for the time being. Only time would tell how long he would be stuck there.
---
“A hologram, it’s a hologram.”
“No, it’s UMF, not a hologram. Unstable Molecule Fabric.”
“But is it actually fabric? I haven't read the comics.” Starring almost too intently down at Miguel's arm that was still clad in his suit you spared him a glance, the tips of your ears nearly burning off at the ‘are you kidding?’ look he’d given.
“If it were fabric I’d tear through it anytime I needed to use these.” Raising his hand small claw-like spikes rose from the pads of his fingers, something you’d nearly forgotten alongside the fact he had fangs.
It’d been about three days since his initial appearance, and a watch prototype was steadily being made however despite the many protests on his end you were able to convince the man to take a break here and there.
Just like a regular person he still needed to eat and sleep and whatnot, and with nobody else there to remind him- namely Lyla, you were the only person left.
He was aggravated about it when you’d first done it, however, the retort of ‘making up for the damage to my apartment’ was what kept his annoyance at bay- he did feel bad at this point for the amount of damage that was caused despite not really caring when it first happened.
You’d been quite helpful- not in the same sense as another spider-person or Lyla but in the sense of a personified conscience.
That and he found it amusing sometimes how you’d often try to hide whatever spider-themed merchandise you had. The look of shock and embarrassment was written across your face when he’d found a mug with the same design as his mask was nearly priceless.
In a comedic sense of course- you were, entertaining.
As if snapping back to reality he retracted the claws, shaking his head a bit-Focus. “I need to get back to working on the device.”
“Alright. You know where to find me if you need me.” Musing that out knowing that he was eager to get back to work you watched him spare you a nod, form disappearing back into the hallway where you’d only see him emerge from once every few hours.
If that guy could work himself to death you’d bet he would.
---
Emerging from the room he’d been in Miguel let out a breath, his watch was still gradually deteriorating while the watch he’d been working on seemed at least a quarter of the way done-there were so many things he still had to do, and had to fix before he could even try and open up a gate.
Raising a hand and running it through his hair he let out a breath, eyes taking a moment to adjust to the lack of light in the apartment spotting the gentle glow of the living room TV. Glancing towards the end of the hall where your room had been he could see that the door was open and nobody was inside leading him to assume you’d been curled up on the couch as he’d noted you often did.
There were a few things you did that he found himself unwillingly taking note of. One of the few being how you always nestled yourself into the very corner of the couch when watching a show or movie, or- as of recently how whenever you brewed coffee or tea that you’d made a second cup.
Quietly trekking through the hallway and into the main room another sigh left him upon seeing the way you’d fallen asleep, three thoughts beginning to conflict one another within the confines of his brain as he’d waited to see if you were indeed asleep.
Which you were.
Muttering under his breath in another language he trailed a little closer; on one hand he should just wake you up and remind you of the last time you’d fallen asleep on the couch and had complained for the whole day. However on another hand, he felt like the sight brought some comfort he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Most of the interaction with you brought some sort of strange comfort- something he tried his damnedest to ignore in favor of dealing with his current circumstances. He knew Lyla for sure would be either teasing or harping on him for whatever reason.
Weighing all his options he seemed to just give in, the man's frame looming before you as he’d leaned down to stick his arms under your curled-up frame, the blanket you had coming along as he’d hauled you up silently.
What was he thinking-
A low hum in what he could only describe as content left you, cheek leaning to the side against him as he’d marched down the hall coming to lean over the surface of your bed where he set you down. Gaze softening only a little as he’d puffed out a breath through his nose.
“Stop it O’Hara.” Remarking that to himself he’d turned on his heel, head shaking from side to side. 
“You have your priorities.”
---
Waking up nestled within the warm covers of your bed wasn’t the first thing that roused you from sleep- no no, the thing that roused you was the mug currently being held in front of your sleeping form. Mouth dry and hair a mess.
“Morning.”
Blinking a few times at the greeting you stared up at Miguel in suspicion, heart thumping softly at how the morning sun that’d crept through your curtains illuminated his defined features.
“Did you- is the watch finished?” Noting how he donned civilian clothes instead of his suit you blinked a few more times trying to figure out why there was this feeling of missing something.
“Almost.” Answering easily he moved to lean against the side of your doorframe, brown hues regarding you with a mix of undecipherable emotions. “Your neighbour came knocking on your door this morning.”
Having taken a sip from your mug you nearly choked at what he’d said, knowing that no matter which neighbour it was that they were nosy as hell. 
“And you didn’t come get me? What did they want?”
At that, you swore you could see the edge of his lip twitch up, shoulder pushing off the doorframe. “She said to keep it quiet. There's kids in the building.”
Setting your drink to the side you flung the covers of your bed over your face, a sort of muffled groan coming out. That was so embarrassing they must’ve gotten the wrong impression by all the noise when the fight had happened- oh god that- as if coming to a realization you flung the sheets back down. “And what did you say?!”
“I apologized,” In the moment he wasn’t sure what exactly to say, attention focused on how you were nearly at the edge of your seat in anticipation awaiting the response- face faintly flushed. “And told her we’d keep it down.”
Why did he say that? He wasn’t sure, it was out of character a bit but the reaction it got out of you made the response all the better.
Maybe, just maybe it wouldn’t hurt to get to know you properly.
---
As he’d mentioned the watch was finished within a few days. The device now sitting silently ontop of the desk; the plan of using it later being written off for the time being.
In those days you’d taken note of the slight banter that’d happen between yourself and Miguel. Things seemingly becoming more friendly despite the situation and you couldn’t help but be more than enthused about it.
“You want to see some of my favourite places?” Taken aback by the request you stated at him in a mix between disbelief and surprise. “I thought you had to go back as soon as possible?”
“I do, but the window to open a gate is open better around the time it was last time- so late in the evening.” 
Whether that was an excuse or not was up to you to discern.
Pursing your lips together you continued to stare at him inquisitively. “Ok well, uh we could go check out this market? I don’t know how good it is now since I haven’t been able to go in years.”
“If that’s where you’d like to go.”
Side eyeing him once more you nodded lightly, beginning to round up what you needed before the two of you had quickly set off.
The cars atmosphere quiet until he’d spoken. “When all this first happened. What did you think?”
Perhaps it was the inevitability of him having to leave that spurred the question on or had led him to become more open- but nonetheless the question was something he’d grown curious about.
When you’d first met he could tell you were in a state of shock, whether from the fight or from his appearance didn’t matter. Your answers were thought out and yet he recalled how you’d walked around him at a distance, keeping that distance until later on. Disbelief is what he chalked it up to however he was also partially to blame on the distance.
“Well, I thought I was crazy- of course who wouldn’t. I thought maybe it was some weird vivid dream.” Your fingers began to tap softly against the steering wheel. “Also you’re like really intimidating, you know that?”
“So I’ve been told.”
“Self awareness is the key to happiness.” Pulling into the parking lot outside of where the little market was you quickly popped out, excitement gradually brewing within you.
Shaking his head he himself stepped out of the car, moving to trail behind you as you begun maneuvering through the varying stalls. Little hand carved and hand made trinkets covered each table, the person standing behind sparing those who’d passed by a kind smile.
It was so calm over here- in this world. Compared to really anything he had to deal with. 
“Miguel-“ Brown hues warmly trailed towards where you had emerged from, the man unknowingly having spaced out for a second enough for you to disappeared and come back. “Give me your hand.”
“Why?”
“Just- hold it out for me come on, this is your last day here.” Putting your own had up and trying to coax him to do the same you quickly moved to lace your hand with his once he’d complied, your other hand moving a bracelet from your wrist across your hands onto his.
“There.” Pulling your hand back your face flushed a little at the stoic look he had, eyes fixed on the small accessory. “I tried to pick something that sits flat for you and doesn’t look particularly flashy.”
As you’d mentioned it wasn’t particularly flashy, the design of it was just a collection of chevrons wrapping around the length of his wrist made up of some sort of grey stone.
Forcing a cough into his hand his face turned to the side. “Thank you.”
That small show of gratitude nearly had you bouncing off the ground. A smile that could probably rival the sun bloomed across your face.
“I’m glad you like it, it’s just a little something to remind me by.”
“You’re not that immemorable.”
It seemed like a slight changing of tide after that, the both of your resuming your little stroll through the stalls bringing up some meaningless conversation.
It felt like, now that everything was coming to an end you’d never felt more at home. Thinking back on it you quite enjoyed Miguel’s company, not just in the ‘you were my fictional crush kind of way’ but in the way that a domestic couple would- as much as you wouldn’t say that out loud.
That sort of companionship was something your heart yearned for however it just showed you that fate was a cruel thing- maybe this was your canon event.
Reaching the unattainable and being doomed to fall.
—-
“And you’re sure this won’t blow up my apartment or something?”
“It might?”
“That is not comforting at all.” Rolling your eyes in return at his answer you remained slightly ducked behind the couch while Miguel stood where he first did when he first arrived.
The watch he previously wore was stripped away, the corroded metal being too far gone to savage and in its place was the missmash of parts that made up what you could only assume was the new one.
Watching him tap a few things onto it you couldn’t help but call out, “Miguel,” Turning briefly to show you had his attention you continued. “Thanks.”
“For?”
Your lips curled into a faint smile, “not being a product of my psychosis.”
His lips quirked up at this, head shaking as a low airy laugh left him. A sort of melancholic look crossing his face as he tapped a few more things among his watch, a spark of orange gradually beginning to grow until a portal had opened up. “See you around (Y/N).”
Nodding his way you couldn’t help but wish the portal hadn’t opened up in the frist place- but it did and just as quickly as it’d opened it closed leaving you on your own. 
An almost bitter laugh leaving your lips.
---
Weeks later you found yourself snuggled into the comfort of your bed, hand scrolling aimlessly across some edits. The sound of your phone barely did much in comparison to the quiet thrum of your apparement.
Despite knowing you’d be coming home to an empty apartment you couldn’t help but think deep in your heart that something might be different.
Nodding off a little your eyes barely took note of the light shining into your livingroom, the orange glow disappearing quickly.
Your brows furrowed at this, phone clutched tightly within your hand as you strained your ears to listen for anything. 
Nothing.
Slipping out from beneath the safety of your blankets your feet quietly padded their way down the hall, eyes struggling to adjust to the dark. Your hand followed the length of the wall, heart rate gradually beginning to speed up as you willed yourself to look into the livingroom.
Nothing.
Letting out a breath you tensed quickly as something had pressed against your eyes, your own hands reactively reaching up finding them wrapping around someone’s wrists. Their large hands being the reason for your current lack of vision.
The feeling of someone leaning over your shoulder had caused your nerves to spike, however once their spoke did your nerves spike for a different reason.
“Guess who?”
