Did I just spend 4 hours writing this CEO au Drabble when I should be sleeping? Yes I did. Let me know what you think, my sleep has suffered for this x

You looked at your seven bosses, sprawled like sin on their office chairs, with a little bit of defiance and anger, and a little bit of worry. Namjoon crossed his arms expectedly, waiting for you to speak, raising his brow when you don’t. You couldn’t keep his gaze and looked around the office of the young CEOs, avoiding the eyes burning into your skin. Focusing on the dark grey walls, you almost couldn’t hear Yoongi’s scoff, they let such little light into this room, thick curtains almost always covered the few windows there, and it didn’t help settle your nerves.
When it became evident you were going to hold your tongue, the leader of the group decided he would talk instead.
“We’ve received a complaint about our favourite employee,” he starts, waiting for a reaction. It was your turn to scoff and cross your arms defiantly, it wasn’t your fault, but you didn’t want to explain that, so you sat and acted like a brat as an act of defence against them. As much as it warmed your cheeks to hear the word favourite, you feared you would cause him to continue with disappointment, your heart sank with dread, you were a known teachers pet your whole life, if your bosses were angry with you, you might actually cry.
“You were caught fighting with another employee,” Jin continues, and you meekly look up at him, starting to feel uncomfortable in your own skin. He gives you a very small smile, eyes soft but firm in their interrogation. “Now we’ve heard Suran’s version of events...”
You scoff even louder, rolling your eyes, which makes Jin raise his eyebrow in shock at your attitude.
“... but we want to hear yours,” Hobi finishes, frowning at your behaviour.
You look away from the middle of their entourage to the left hand side where Taehyung sat at the end, chin in his hand, elbow resting on the arm of the chair, dark eyes assessing you with almost a bored expression on his face. Your heart rate increased and you clutched your arms with your nails tighter as if that would save you. Tae always managed to get a reaction out of you, maybe best not to look at him. But looking at Yoongi next to him was no better, as evident from the smirk on his face, they both could read you like a book written in their own language.
You turn your head to the other end of the panel, where Jungkook and Jimin sat, their normally smiling faces looked at you with disappointment and you bowed your head in shame at once. It was their fault really, but you didn’t want to say. It was no secret in the office that the seven CEOs had a soft spot for you, the maknaes made that abundantly clear in all the time you’ve worked for them. Always stealing you away, coming into the lunchroom to sit with you, always joking and laughing with you while blantently ignoring the other employees. You never thought much of it, but that bitch certainly had something to say about it.
Even the older members of the group made it clear who their favourite employee was, even though they were a lot more subtle, finding the time to walk past your desk and ask about your day, call you into their office to make sure you were okay when they thought you were stressed. It was the little quiet things with them, a complete opposite to the maknaes loud and cheerful declaration, but you’d be lying if you didn’t admit how it melted your heart and yes, fine, you developed a major crush on the seven guys who treated you better than they did everyone else.
You didn’t try to make something more of it, genuinely you worked hard, harder than most people in the building, that was why you thought they appreciated you a little more, nothing else, so why did Suran have to go run her mouth and taint it all for you.
You heard a deep sigh from Tae, but refused to look at him. You heard his chair slide back with ease as he stood to come towards you, kneeling down in front of your chair and taking your chin into his soft grasp. When you looked at him you wanted to cry.
Taehyung always gave you whiplash, one second he was laughing and acting like a child and the next he could become somber and strict, you never knew which Tae to expect, and honestly you thought he did it on purpose to keep you on your toes. There were days where you brought him his files and he’d smile like you just saved the world gushing you with praises, and the next time he’d look at you with dark eyes with the words “good girl” coming out in his deep timbre that made your whole body shiver.
His eyes now were commanding and dark, you took his wrist into your hand and tried to push him away but he held on a little tighter, a light sound of disapproval leaving him.
“Tsk, what happened to my good girl?” He said, voice deep. “Why would our sweet Y/n get into a fight?”
You could feel a lump in your throat, the real reason you really didn’t want to speak was because you know you’d start wailing like an idiot in front of the men that you started to love, and while you thought they may not reciprocate those feelings, you didn’t want to lose their respect. Stupid Suran had to ruin everything.
“Did you get hurt, angel?” Jimin says softly. Tears definitely start to well up in your eyes as you look towards him. Taehyung let’s go of your chin to caress your cheek as a tear drops and he wipes it away.
Namjoon’s eyes darken, they know for absolute fact you could do no wrong but unless they wanted HR to come visit they needed to resolve this in house. He knew that bitch was lying through her teeth about their favourite girl, but they needed you to tell them what actually happened so they could get rid of her without any mess.
“We can’t help you baby girl if you don’t tell us,” he says, hoping it would elicit something out of you.
“You guys are the problem,” you say through a sob, and your arms come to cover your face as more tears shed down your face. Their hearts sink at your words, Taehyung frowns at you, his dark eyes disappearing to look at you with sadness.
“What did we do, sunshine?” Hobi asks, tensing his shoulders. The group collectively hold their breath waiting for you to answer, bracing themselves for the onslaught of whatever they’ve done wrong.
“That!” You look at him accusingly, “stop doing that!”
They all turn to look at each other in confusion as you continue to cry.
“Beautiful girl..” Jin starts but you interrupt him.
“Jin stop please,” you beg, which does nothing to quell their confusion. You try to stop crying but end up causing yourself to hiccup and breathe shakily. Taehyung tries to hush you softly while still caressing your face, now with both hands.
It hurts them to see you like this, you were never a mere employee to them, and they made sure to show it, you might’ve missed the memo but none of the other employees did. The warning glares when a male colleague tried to talk to you, the way they tried to make sure at least one of them was with you at all times, the special projects they gave you to keep you near them. It was all done to keep you close, to get something to blossom from you so you could be theirs. They were being as patient as they could be, so what went wrong? Did you not want them like they wanted you?
“We don’t understand, Kitten, you have to explain it to us,” Yoongi growled getting impatient with you, he always covered his vulnerability with an air of annoyance and cold gazes, the rest of the boys saw through it, they couldn’t stand the idea of being the cause of your pain.
“The pet names, they need to stop,” you say firmly through your tears, painting your own glare onto your face, hoping it would give you the strength to get though this.
If the boys were hurt before, they definitely felt the cut this rejection caused, Yoongi flinched at your gaze. You never had a problem with this before.
They all called you a different name, something that resonated with their own selves. Yoongi called you kitten because of the rise he would get out of you when he teased you, you were smaller than him and he found your tenacity very cute so he picked on you jokingly to get a reaction, the phrase “Kitten’s got her claws out,” was a regular occurrence in your working life and while you always rolled your eyes at him you secretly loved it. You always joked that Yoongi reminded you of a cat, so it only made sense to him you were his Kitten, he always saw the smile you tried to hide when he called you that so why was it a problem now?
“Angel,” Jimin wanted to calm you down but it seemed to have other effects, your tears started again as you closed your eyes in defeat, you couldn’t be angry with them to make yourself look stronger. The sobs that left you made them wince, Taehyung takes you into his arms onto the floor, setting you on your knees, but against his wishes it makes you cry harder.
Jungkook nibbles on his lips, what made you cry like this? Surely not them, not their love for you. Anxiety started creeping inside him and he looked to their leader to try and make sense of the situation. You weren’t meant to cry, they didn’t anticipate that, they thought this would be simple, you’d say what the surely bitch had done and they would fire her, why had it turned to you crying inconsolably?
Namjoon had his eyes trained on you throughout your outburst, it didn’t take a genius to figure out why you suddenly had a problem with their affection.
“What did she say to you, Y/n?” His voice was stern and left no room for evasion.
“She said,” you sobbed into Tae’s blazer, clutching onto him as he stroked your back and cradled your head against him. You drew a shaky breath trying to get your words out, but you were awful at speaking when you cried. Taehyung put his cheek on the top of head to comfort you, as you tried to find your breath and your words.
“Come on, beautiful girl what did she say?” Jin pushed softly. While it warmed your heart to feel their care, it also broke it to know they’d never be yours the way you wanted them to be, that their care was only platonic and if they found out how you felt maybe they’d never look at you the same. So you didn’t want it, any of it, maybe it was easier to live without them then let them know how much you craved to be theirs, if only you knew they wanted you too.
“Sunshine, you need to tell us,” you can hear the sadness in Hoseok’s voice and it hurts you.
“Sh-she called m-me a whore,” you force out of yourself, spluttering in your tears. “She said I must b-be a - a wh-whore if you...” your whine break their hearts a little more, Jungkook and Jimin unable to stand how broken you sound join Taehyung in holding you, stroking your arms, your back, whatever they could to comfort you a little at least. The four CEO’s remain frozen in their chairs as their blood boils.
“If we what Kitten?” Yoongi asks through gritted teeth, fist clenching in anger.
You shake your head and whine against the maknaes, you don’t want to do this, you don’t want to say it, but you’ve started now and you need to finish. You gulp in a breath of air before you continue, trying to keep the emotion out of your voice.
“Why would you show me any kindness if I weren’t selling myself to you,” your nails dig into Taehyung suit and you try to ground yourself and keep the sobs at bay. “Why would all seven CEOs treat me any differently if they weren’t all using me for my body, why would they look at me when there were countless other women prettier and sexier than me.”
By the end of your explanation you were crying loudly again, but you could see the shock on their faces. Jimin and Jungkook exchanged a look of contempt, when they were done consoling you they had a bitch to deal with.
“I tried to explain to her that it wasn’t like that, but she wasn’t having it, I tried to walk away but she screamed at me and said “how does this whore think she’s better than me” and then she threw the first punch,” you tried wiping away your own tears and hurt, feeling so pathetic in front of them. “I swear I didn’t start it, I didn’t even fight back I just tried to keep her off of me.” You looked at Namjoon pleadingly hoping he’d believe you.
“I understand if you want me to leave,” you said your worst fear out loud only to be met with noises of disapproval.
“Why would we want you to leave, Bunny?”Jungkook took your face into his hands, and looked at you with his doe eyes hoping you’d see the sincerity he held for you. You always thought it were ironic the names the men gave you, it was like a reflection of themselves, you always thought Jungkook reminded you of a rabbit so when he first called you bunny you laughed out loud and asked him why he called you that. You remember his playful smile as he shrugged his shoulders and said “you jump on the spot when you’re excited,” giggling at you before whispering “like a bunny,” as if it were a secret. Jungkook was remembering it all as well, remembering how you grinned for him when he said that, comparing it to how broken you looked when he said it now.
“You don’t want rumours like this around you,” you explain, “you guys have worked so hard for something like me to taint the respect you’ve built.”
Yoongi scoffs again and looks at you as if you just uttered the most idiotic words known to man.
“We don’t care about that, we care about you silly Kitten.”
Yoongi hated how fragile you looked, you always held yourself strongly, the fact that this nonsense got to you frustrated him, who the hell did Suran think she was making his kitten feel so small.
“I can’t work here anymore Yoongi,” you said softly, the reason why you were so apprehensive to talk this over now becoming apparent, you knew how it would end. The panic that filled Yoongi made him clutch his chair, his breathing becoming harder at the thought that you would willingly leave them. He turned to their leader and saw a similar panic, losing you was never an option.
“Flower,” Tae said to get your attention, he had two names for you. When he was being soft it was flower, when he was in boss mode it was always good girl, and both always made your heart flutter, even now. He shook his head without another word, he didn’t need to say anything you could tell he was saying no to you leaving.
Jungkook wraps his arms around you from behind, pressing his face into your neck, holding you as close as he could.
“Please don’t leave us,” he whispers against you. He could feel dread weighing him down, but he would take you down with him and never let you out of his hold.
“I can’t stay,” you whisper back to Kookie, pressing your cheek to him before making eye contact with Namjoon, “I’ll hand in my resignation letter tomorrow.”
“We’ll reject it,” he replies quick as a flash, jaw clenching stubbornly.
“Joonie, you can’t reject it,” you say back equally as stubborn.
He finally rises from his chair to stand tall in front of you, his fingers go to your hair, stroking the strand back and forcing you to look up at him.
“Give me one good reason why I can’t.”
“I want to leave,” you lie, and Jimin whimpers beside you taking your hand into his, looking at your fingers as if it would stop his world crumbling around him. Jungkook holds you tighter, if he had to stay like this for eternity to stop you he would.
“You’re lying,” Taehyung says seeing through you like he always could, but even he felt a little insecure at your words, you were slipping away from them and he needed to bring you back. “Good girls don’t lie.”
Namjoon let’s go of your hair and walks exasperated around the room with his hands on his hips, he wanted to break something, he always felt in control but this whole situation was taking that away from him and it left him out of his comfort zone.
Hobi knew the lead CEO needed a breather, the room could feel his frustration, even you cowered in it.
“Sunshine,” he called to you, trying his hardest to smile, hoping it’d be enough to convince you to drop the subject of leaving. “What would we do without our sunshine?” He tried to be lighthearted, to air the room from suffocating them. “Why would our sunshine want to leave us over something as silly as this?”
“You’re not leaving beautiful,” Jin chimed in, “Suran is.”
You look to the ground and your resolve to keep your secret to yourself breaks, you take a deep breath in and brace yourself for their rejection.
“While she was trying to get at me on the floor, she said she could see right through me,” your voice started off strong but grew smaller as you carried on. “She screamed it at me actually, for everyone to hear, how she knew I was in love with all seven of you, and how I was deluded to think that you’d ever love me back, and that’s why I didn’t fight back,” you could feel the tears leave you again but you didn’t sob, a numbness started spreading across your chest like an acceptance of the end, you already missed them, and it weighed so much you uttered your last words with a whisper, “because she was right.”
There, you said it, and you didn’t want to see the consequences so you closed your eyes. You could hear the sharp intake of breath, Jungkook lifted his head from your shoulder to look at you in shock, but you refused to see any of it, waiting for the words you know would come. Instead you felt soft lips place themselves on yours, large hand pressing the back of your head closer to the warmth in front of you, you open your eyes in shock as Tae breaks away from you slowly, smiling as soft as the kiss. You hear a chuckle behind you, chest rumbling against your back where Jungkook still held you.
As you glance at their faces, you feel confused, they’re all smiling, grinning shyly. Namjoon has to bite his lips to stop himself from grinning like an idiot, Yoongi already giving in to this new feeling, gummy smile on show. The atmosphere in the room changes, and it causes your heart skip a beat in hope.
“Baby baby girl,” Namjoon joins the youngest CEOs on the floor with you, crouching down to tuck a stand of hair behind your ear. “Did you even stop to think maybe we were in love with you too?”
You’re gaping like a fish, you know you are, but you can’t stop.
“Cat got your tongue?” Yoongi chuckles. “Where were your claws kitten, you should’ve scratched Suran’s face.”
“I don- I don’t understand,” you stutter.
Jimin turns your face towards him before pressing his lips against yours, you could feel him smiling before he pulled away. “Does that help explain things angel?”
You cheeks are bright red, and you can hear the boys coo away at you. Your whole world feels like it’s shifted, and the dark office suddenly seems a lot brighter.
“We love you too,” the youngest whispers, pressing a kiss to the space behind your ears. “We love you too.”
"ain't no love in the heart of the city"
SUMMARY: Miles Morales is just a kid without a father; the Prowler is just a "rotten" vigilante. Both of them start coming into your life — one in the middle of the semester, and the other by total accident.
SERIES MASTERLIST 📼 PART 1 / PART 2 →
chapter summary: [READER POV] The one day you decide to skip breakfast, your deskmate comes in. AP Calc has never been more unbearable — and interesting.
content/warnings: brief mentions of death, depictions of hunger, a little bullying </3
word count: 4.8k
a/n: first series idk what im doing BUT WE ROLL (criticisms accepted lmao) proofread courtesy of @qiuweyballs you're a real one
You were starving. In AP Calc, no less, with probably the least talkative bunch of students in the whole school, the period before lunch. Whoever made your schedule was a monster, and whoever put this class together was even more of a monster. Everyone was dead silent, which was usually fine, but not when your stomach was threatening to detonate a nuclear grumble. Maybe it’d even echo given how big the classroom was. It was too early in the year to have a mental breakdown, though — you’d save that for midterms.
Even the teacher found the silence awkward, muttering to himself as you walked into the dreary classroom. He was a bit of a pushover, Mr. Wellston — a newbie who really had no idea what he was doing besides fixing his unevenly cut hair every two seconds while everyone pretended to know what was going on. God bless AP Calculus; you didn’t even know how to do the starter activity on the board.
But your teacher’s ridiculous inadequacy didn’t matter right now. The most important decision you had to make was what poor soul you were going to look at sideways when everyone turned to the source of the growl. Being nice wasn’t exactly an option when you were 3 seconds away from dying of starvation.
Thankfully, you were at the back, and the only seat next to you was empty. It wasn’t so bad, you tried convincing yourself as other students started to fill up the seats in front of you. Maybe you'd even forget about how hungry you were if you engrossed yourself in "one of the most riveting fields of mathematics", as advertised by your freshman year math teacher. Just one hour. You could hold back your hunger for one hour.
"Attendance..." Wellston murmured, looking around the room without much attention. It was reasonable to assume was here as usual, except for one kid who'd been absent since the first week. "Morales" — you didn't know his first name, not like you had the chance to learn it.
Scribbling down whatever activity there was, a part of you was glad this kid wasn't here today. It was one less person to hear the result of your unfortunate choice to not have breakfast this morning. You'd never spoken to the kid, but everyone knew why he wasn’t here. The renowed "hero", PC Davis had passed away — his dad. It was all over the news: "PDNY OFFICER DIES SAVING A CHILD", around mid-freshman year. You couldn't guess what was going on with the kid almost 2 whole semesters into sophomore year, but you couldn’t exactly think too hard when your pen had barely touched the page, and your other hand was clawing into the side of your shirt.
You were sure your stomach was going to growl, and loud. And your teacher was looking at you. Pretty much every muscle in your face was straining. You probably looked insane, which you’d actually rather be right now. The worst he would make was a bad joke, but the sheer panic that rose in your chest when Mr. Wellston started to walk towards you made your heels dig into the ground, ready to bolt out the class. You were exhausted, anxious, praying to anything you could think of that your teacher would just turn around and stop looking at you and—
Creak... Everyone's eyes, including Mr. Wellston's, turned to the door. You could make out someone with a black jacket — teacher? They wouldn’t let you wear jackets inside. Not important. Water.
"Nice seeing you here, Morales," Wellston said, his expression as unamused as he could attempt. The pushover was feeling confident today.
You drank so much water that it got stuck in your throat for a moment, making you scrunch up your face. "I'd take off that jacket if I were you,” Wellston continued.
The boy obliged with an incoherent mumble, stepping into the classroom and slipping off his jacket. His eyes landed on the seat right next to you. Even if he wasn't looking at you, something about his gaze made you look away immediately. Great. 53 minutes until lunch. Why did he have to show up today? Why did you wake up late and skip breakfast? A part of you was telling you it’d be better to not blame it on this guy either — maybe it was your gut. Ha-ha. Maybe you were insane.
Screeech! The slap of a notebook next to you snapped you out of your mini-spiral. You were now all the more aware of the boy next to you. His attendance was so low that it competed with your will to live, so you couldn’t help but look. His hair was in two braids slipping just past his collar, but that’s all you dared to notice. They were kind of cool, you admitted to yourself. The muttering was quickly shut down by a grating "Focus!" from Wellston, and you tried to get back to your work.
Calculus, calculus... When was the last time you’d gotten a question right? All you could do was keep uselessly pressing the fraction button on your calculator, watching the empty boxes stack up. It felt like he was staring at you. Math, come on, you know math. What was the probability he was looking at you? What if he was just glancing at you? What was his eye colour? Black or dark brown, probably. You could check — if he was staring, of course. Not his eye colour. That'd be weird.
That tight feeling built up in your stomach like the foreshock of an earthquake. You pictured yourself slamming your head into the desk, far too vividly to be normal — like an insane person. No need to traumatise the “new” kid on his first day back.
"Alright class, considering we have a full house now," You stopped yourself from imagining Wellston’s head slammed into a desk. "I suggest you all try to solve this problem. It's the hardest question that's ever come up on Calc BC, and you're getting secret access to it."
Yeah, like you cared. This man did not have a lesson plan, as usual. Now you had to fight the urge to look at the kind of cool kid next to you, fight your hunger like a famished Victorian child and fight the stupid calculations forming a jumbled mess in your brain. You were fighting a lot of things, and losing miserably. Just looking at the question made your brain hurt, and you could see it in the rest of your class too. All Calc BC nerds who were just now realising their mistake in taking this class with this particular teacher, probably. Visions was a scam.
"Does anyone have an answer?" It hadn't even been two minutes; it was like the man just wanted to feel smarter than everyone else. Something about him today was even more annoying than the pitiful jokes he usually came up with ― just because a "new" kid came in? Maybe this was to make up for the first day of class where he totally embarrassed himself mumbling all lesson, the bell ringing overtop of him.
The awkward silence and the slight cocky curl to the corner of Mr. Wellston's mouth made you question why they hired someone who was fresh out of college to teach you the classes that were supposed to get you into college. Your frustration only grew when you were going in circles with your attempt.
"No? Guys, you that you have a midterm soon." Helpful.
"This is more simple than you think." Explain it, then?
"Nobody? Really? Okay, you really should start paying attention, the―"
"Six." You almost forgot about the kid next to you until he spoke up. He put down his pen, giving Wellston an expectant look while the whole class was silent.
"…Six what?"
"Litres per hour."
The man quickly shuffled to his computer. Of course he didn't know the answer either.
"Six litres per hour," Wellston confirmed. No other kid had a chance to retort. Wellston seemed surprised for once. A part of you was surprised too at how simple the answer sounded when it came out of the "new" kid's mouth. You noticed that the boy didn't even have a calculator.
"Well, it looks like you all have something to learn from Morales here," he continued, something almost like contempt in his words. "Do you want to explain how you got that?"
The boy went about explaining it pretty simply, almost like he was reading off of a script. It was concise, different to what you'd learnt. Something about chain rule, which you truthfully had no idea how to actually use because someone didn't bother to go through it properly. Even if you were still somewhat unsure, it sounded easy enough.
"Interesting method..." Wellston murmured, trailing off for a moment. "Well, that settles it then. Do you guys understand how we got six?"
We? This guy... Aside from the fact that he was looking at you a little too much for comfort (probably because you were still clutching your stomach like you’d been shot) you had another reason to be annoyed by this teacher and his stupid hair. Everyone just returned his question with silent nods and mumbles, people taking opportunities to actually look at the calc-wiz.
You took a chance too, looking over at his seemingly unbothered face. You were almost right about the brown eyes. They were more coppery than anything, maybe even a little green. If he was staring before, you couldn't tell, his gaze trailing his desk with disinterest. Why did his eye colour even matter?
Forty minutes of class to go. You felt like you could eat your calculator at this point. The mystery kid didn't seem to need one anyway, and you weren’t getting much use out of it.
BRIIIIIIIIIING!
"The bell doesn't―" The screeching of chairs cut him off.
Like that would work this far into the semester. The Morales kid was already gone by the time you'd stood up. Letting out a drawn-out sigh, you debated between your tiredness and hunger. Would you try to fight to the death to get to the front of the lunch queue? All you wanted was food, maybe a nap afterwards, definitely no more calculus.
That couldn't happen, of course. For some reason, you were the only one left in class. You heard your name, wincing a little as you stopped in your journey out of the door.
"I just want to speak for a moment, spare me a few minutes?" You figured this was coming. It looked like he wanted to speak to you about something all class; his expressions weren’t exactly mysterious like that new kid. You wanted nothing more than to strangle him with his ugly patterned tie as you walked over to him.
Mr. Wellston leaned on his desk by his elbows, lowering his voice as if he was about to tell you something serious.
"You're not doing very well in this class." Okay… not that serious. "It’s the longer questions, I think. FRQs.”
Your grogginess made it impossible to focus on Wellston’s rant, but what you did pick up on was his weird accent. You guessed he wasn’t from Brooklyn, but the way he was talking right now let you pick up on the strange intonation in his voice you otherwise wouldn’t care to notice. Almost European-sounding. First that kid's eye colour and now your teacher's accent... what was it with you and random details today?
"So..." he continued, looking up at you with his head still low. "I'm going to start an extra class after school. I want you to come to it." Okay, this is worse. You couldn't have lunch, and now you couldn't even have after school.
"When is it?" It better not be some unreasonable time.
"Well, I've only got Friday afternoon free. You know how it is, meetings..." If he was trying to be apologetic, or convincing, he was failing at both. "I'll call you in later to discuss it further."
You just nodded, the grip on your backpack tightening. "Okay."
"It's important that you come!”
His voice was drowned out by the flood of students in the hall as you shut the door, turning on your heel to head to the cafeteria. The line was probably impossibly long by now. You couldn't care less about that extra Friday class. Forget college. You'd be a bum, or work at a WcDonalds. You'd probably make more money than Mr. Wellston there anyway. Forget Visions.
Forget that Morales kid who was standing outside the door all that time while you were too frustrated to notice.
You slumped down onto an empty table as you tried to rid your mind of him.
The probability that he'd show up to class with his cool braids and coppery-green eyes again was too low for you to care anyway.
"Soy Miles. Miles Morales."
Calc-wiz, or Miles as you just found out, was also in your Spanish class, and was also sitting directly behind you. It seemed like he was coming into more classes than he had been all semester — good for him?
"Morales… ¿Eres hispano, Miles?" (Are you Hispanic, Miles?) Miles simply nodded while Mrs Hernández flicked through the worksheets, licking her finger to set them down on individual desks. Spanish was one of the classes you actually liked. Apart from your classmates, Mrs Hernández was funny, and a good teacher, even if she was a little strict.
She paused for a moment to look at Miles again, eyebrow raised. "¿Guatemala?"
"Puerto Rico." The woman's raised eyebrow fell along with the rest of her expression, eyes narrowing in disappointment. She was always talking about where she was from, Guatemala. You found it kind of endearing, though you weren't sure if she'd get any teaching done if there was another kid from there.
"All these years y nadie de Guatemala..." (and nobody from Guatemala...) She simply frowned, cracking her knuckles while making her way back to the front. Most of the people taking AP Spanish were Hispanic, just trying to get extra credits, but it seemed like Mrs. Hernández was out of luck when it came to finding her natural favourite. "Vale clase, quiero que miren este articulo sobre―" (Okay class, I want you to look at this article about―)
All that class you felt like Miles was staring at the back of your head, of course. If he wasn't uncomfortably silent, he was conversing with Mrs Hernández, and she came over more than once to talk to him behind you. As much as you wanted to overhear, they were talking too quietly and quickly — and in Spanish. What they were talking about wasn't your business — most likely about his absence. You had also no idea what this article was talking about. It was something about art, but most of the words you were reading were unfamiliar as your highlighter hovered uselessly over the paper.
It had almost been a week since Miles first came in. You constantly saw him get pulled out of class or talking to teachers — except in AP Calc; it seemed like he was doing just fine there. He could speak Spanish fine too, but was behind on everything else. Other than teachers, he never really talked to anyone. You occasionally saw him with his earbuds on in the hallways, but more often his jacket was what got him chased down by teachers; the kid didn’t really seem to care. Good for him. He was probably more ahead of you anyway given the way your studies were going.
“Oye, look a little alive!” You noticed Mrs Hernandéz standing over you, and that your highlighter bleeding through the paper from pressing too long. A half-hearted “lo siento” (sorry) is all you could offer. “Extraño (strange) — What's different today, chicos? Is it because you’ve got a new friend here?” She crossed her arms, eyeing everyone with her brows knitted together.
The atmosphere around Miles was strange. Not only was he known for being missing since freshman year, but also for his late father. It wasn’t a secret, as much as he didn’t talk about it. Everyone could tell from the way teachers whispered to him and how he disappeared to the counsellor’s office that he wasn’t treated like any other student here. In fact, he didn’t even live in the dorms according to what you’d heard. He was quiet, but the rumours were undeniably loud. You tried not to involve yourself — you hadn’t even spoken to him yourself, anyway.
“He’s not the only Puerto Rican. You gonna forget about us, Señora?” The voice made you hold back a sigh. When Rafael started speaking there was no stopping him. You figured it was time; no matter how far he was moved from his friends, he always found a way to talk to them from the other side of the classroom. He was also right next to you. You had a few reasons to want to drop this class, and each of them were all going “yeah” in agreement to what Rafael had to say.
“I think you’ve forgotten that you have an article in front of you, Rafa.” You couldn’t help but crack a smile at your teacher’s words, and nickname. To your dismay, Rafael noticed you immediately.
“You makin’ fun of me, bro?” He turned his head to stare at you.
“Rafael,” Hernandéz warned.
“Nah, Señora, you don’t get it, I should be sitting over there.”
She wasn’t amused by the way he was gesturing to his friends. “I’ll kick you out.”
“Come on man…” He just threw up his hands and sunk into his far too tiny chair. You prayed he wouldn't start rocking on it and make that god-awful creaking sound. Mrs. Hernández simply turned to ignore him and continue with class.
“Why’s he special anyway?” Rafael mumbled to himself. “Famous cause of his dad?”
Tension – it was so thick you could cut it. The only thing that was cutting through it, apart from your Spanish teacher’s rant, was Miles’ gaze. You could feel it burning right through you. It seemed like Rafael, the moron, for some twisted reason, wanted Miles to hear that.
If you had anything to say at all, it was too late to give Rafael a piece of your mind. Considering how quickly he'd shut you down, it would be useless to stick up for some kid you barely knew. Nobody else heard Rafael anyway; it'd just pit everyone against you. Still, a part of you felt bad. Even though you didn’t really know Miles, he was in a lot of your classes. You’d gotten used to his presence over the past week: moving out of the way so he could get to his seat, occasionally picking up each other’s fallen pens, giving unshared glances to see how the other was doing on the work.
He seemed nice enough despite the lack of words you'd exchanged, but when you turned a little to fix your chair, the expression you caught was anything but. It was almost scary, if you could make out anything from his darkened features. There was a strange sense of focus in his eyes, like he was calculating something – deliberating. You didn't try to guess what, keeping silent and trying to listen to Mrs. Hernández talk about the article while ignoring the deadly gaze simmering behind you.
If you were stronger, scarier, more influential, maybe you’d punch one through Rafael right now. Just looking at him was irritating, and it's not like you hadn't thought of it before. Maybe you wouldn’t have to, though, because it seemed like Miles was thinking the exact same thing. As much as you wanted to learn Spanish and not have a fight happen right next to you, it’d be nice if he was able to teach Rafael to shut up instead of the material he didn't seem to care about.
Miles didn’t look particularly strong — he was kind of scary-looking right now, but that didn’t mean he could take on a 6ft tall football player, no matter how pissed off said football player made him. You couldn't tell what he was thinking, but Miles stayed put for the rest of class; it felt like a sniper was right behind you.
The all-too-familiar creak of the chair made you automatically grit your teeth.
“Oy, mi pana, you got gum?” Rafael murmured to you in his worst friendly voice. It was 10 minutes till the end of class, and he was asking now? You still had no idea what pana meant since he moved next to you, but the way he said it always made you feel icky regardless.
You quickly shook your head, getting a sigh out of him. You hoped he’d give up, but he just leaned over to whisper to you. “What do you think of that dude, huh?
“What?”
“Strange, yeah?”
“He’s okay.” Your defence was quiet, but it was the most you could do as you heard Miles scribbling right behind you.
“He’s drawing, dude.”
You looked at him almost incredulously. Rafael just rolled his eyes.
“Why do you care?” Your voice came out louder than you wanted.
“¡Silencio!” You gave Mrs. Fernandez, another one of your muffled “lo siento”s, shrinking into your seat as her eyes locked onto you. Snickering from Rafael’s friends only fuelled the embarrassment surging through your cheeks. Miles shuffled in his seat behind you, followed by the sound of paper being crumpled up. You wanted to crumple up the smug expression plastered on Rafael's face right now.
Class ended with another stack of homework in your backpack, and you were more than happy to leave. Free period — you could get a start on the homework. Or talk to Wellston about that extra class. The thought made you wince, but you didn’t exactly have a choice. You had to see him by the end of the day.
“Ay, Milo!” You turned to see Rafael and his little group approaching Miles’ desk. “What’s good?”
“Nothing.” He kept his voice low, pushing his chair under the desk. The boys just laughed as he got up, a grating mix of malice and mirth.
“Right, right. Puerto Rican, eh?” It sounded like Rafael was just talking for the sake of talking. You were also standing for the sake of standing too, of course.
Miles let out a mumble as a confirmation of sorts. Heading for the door, he was blocked by Rafael.
“Ay, where you goin’? Let’s talk, huh? Got a free period?” You could see Miles’ eyes narrow, a flash of impatience in his demeanour before he let out a breath. Rafael was trying to get a kick out of this. A kick out of some kid with a dead dad.
“Someone’s waiting for me.”
“Huh? What’d you say? You got friends?” The start of more laughs were already forming around Miles.
You didn’t know what came over you. Maybe it was the regret of not saying anything earlier, or the strange intrigue you’d felt since a week ago. Peeking your head through the door, you took a step back into the classroom. “Miles, c’mon.”
The gnawing feeling only intensified as you felt four sets of eyes on you at the same time. You’d rather it be hunger than the anxiety coursing through you at that moment.
“Comin',” he murmured, shoving past the three boys towards the door.
The two of you left the classroom, hearing a faint “what the hell man?” as the door fell shut. Miles lingered behind you as you approached the next turn in the hallway.
“What’s your name?” He’d already stepped in front of you.
No thanks or anything? Well, he didn't really owe you anything. It was "the right thing to do", like the many anti-bullying posters around the school encouraged you to do. God damn Visions.
“You uh… know my name.”
“Wanna hear it from you.” His voice had a little twinge of an accent that you hadn’t noticed before. You tried not to think too hard on it. Too many details for too little of an interaction.
“You’ve gotta introduce yourself first — pretty sure that’s how it works,” you tried to joke, something like embarrassment replacing the lingering anxiety in your stomach.
“I did — in class.” Miles’ face was unreadable, but there was something like amusement in his voice.
“Not to me specifically, though.”
The two of you stood in the hallway as people ushered past you. A freshman almost hit you running past, making the two of you retreat to stand beside some lockers. Damn freshmen. You were a freshman only last year, but shoving past them in the cafeteria wasn’t exactly fun. Miles seemed unbothered, as he usually did.
“You seriously don’t know my name?” you continued, almost frowning a little.
“Let’s say I don’t.” He leaned back against the cold blue metal of the lockers, tilting his head at you. The tiny mannerism only made your embarrassment grow. “What’s your name, pana?”
“…I still don’t know what that means.” The frustrated sigh you let out made the corner of his mouth curl up.
“And I still don’t know your name, pana.” No wonder you didn’t bother to talk to anyone. It seemed like you never had the upper hand, first with Rafael and now with Miles. Truthfully, though, you knew which you’d rather talk to.
“Sounds like a food,” you continued, shrugging.
“Could be,” he pretended to muse. And to think you thought he was nice. You hadn’t decided to be annoyed yet, though.
“You know my name, Miles.” You must’ve looked funny the way you crossed your arms and furrowed your eyebrows, because that got an entertained breath out of him.
“Who’s Miles? Haven’t introduced myself yet.” His smirk wrote guilty all over his face.
“Milo, then?” It was a bit harsh, but his cockiness made you say it without much thought. The apology was written on your face already, and you unfolded your arms, deciding you couldn’t have Mrs. Hernandéz’s sass today.
“You wanna be called pana forever?” He slipped an earbud into one of his ears, the blue light flickering into life. At least you didn’t tick him off.
“Not like I care,” you murmured, trying to take a step away.
“Seems like you do.”
“Don’t you have somewhere to be?” you asked, trying to keep your tone in check as you glanced down the hallway.
“Do you?” You felt like you were talking into a mirror, one that reflected back a person that got all the more mysterious and annoying when you did.
“Yeah, actually.” Mr. Wellston’s class. The thought made your eyes narrow, probably in exhaustion, most likely in irritation. “Need to speak to a teacher.”
His brow raised in mild interest. “You in trouble?”
“I wish. It’s about some extra class I have to take.”
“Calc?” You turned to look at him again, and his expression was more knowing than curious now.
“How’d you guess…?” It sounded more like a statement, your tone more disappointed than surprised. Were you really that bad at Calculus? Maybe you did need this class, especially if calc-wiz thought so.
“…You have lunch today?” he thought to ask instead. For a moment, you were confused, until you remembered calc last week.
“Shut up.” Your cheeks burned, hand balling up the fabric of your uniform. God. Damn it. All.
“Aight, sorry.”
More silence. You should’ve blamed the growling on him.
“Why the class though? You failing?”
“I’m not failing… Just need some help, I guess” Your shrug wasn’t very reassuring.
“Anyone else goin’?” The longer he kept inquiring, the more you figured Mr. Wellston’s attitude was building up.
“No clue. Bet everyone else is gonna join, though. He’ll probably tell everyone anyway.” The people in your class were quiet, but desperate to out-do each other. Maybe the problem wasn’t you, but the fact that everyone else was trying so hard.
“He didn’t ask me.” The corner of his mouth dimpled into his cheek in thought.
“You’re good at calc anyway.”
“Haven’t been here a while, so I gotta catch up, right? Lemme come with.”
You tried to think of what to say as your hand found the back of your neck, but he was already walking past you. Miles looked back at you to see if you were following.
If he had somewhere to be, it didn’t seem to matter. You noted the slight rhythm to his step, wondering what he was listening to, and if his eyes were green or brown. Ripping away your gaze from him before you could chase that thought, you tried to dodge all the freshmen running around as the bell went for next period.
You had more questions than answers so far — both in your backpack to do this period and in your mind. Aside from Miles, you wondered what that extra class would be like, and what Wellston would say. A part of you hoped that Miles would be in that class with you, despite your less than favourable introduction. Maybe you’d figure out why the answer was six litres an hour. Maybe you could be friends.
What was the probability of that? Some questions couldn’t be solved with a calculator. But Miles didn’t need one, after all.
thank you for reading. im so tired of looking at this but its okay part 1 !!! hooray !!! next chapter is miles pov .... need more Substances in my Bloodstream before i post that though LMAO
reblogs appreciated!!!! go back to the series masterlist here or to my atsv masterlist here :)
An Article from
Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

Dude I’m so tired of seeing this shit about the remmick thirst and fanfic…be so for real, ITS A VAMPIRE. HE HAS LAYERS. HES INTERESTING. Outside of being a handsome ass man and an alluring vampire, he is a character that we don’t know much about. We just know that he’s a bad guy, the villian who thinks he’s the hero. I am a black woman. Yes, the mf ain’t shit. He recked havoc and tried to force submission. Yes he used manipulation; when hasn’t a vampire done so to get what they want? Other vampires use compulsion….yall okay with that? I never seen any complaints with them making someone do something against their will….No, it wasn’t okay. However, as Ryan has stated, HE DID SO BECAUSE HE FELT HE RESONATED WITH THEM. Once again, his actions are not justified, but it shows that he wasn’t doing what he was doing with ill intention. He thought he was helping more than hurting, in his own twisted way. That’s what makes him a complex character. That’s what make ppl want to know more about him. His past, his struggle. I’m not saying he’s more important than other characters but it does make you want to dive deeper. We know nothing about him…dangerous, intriguing…just like a vampire is supposed to be. Yall act like this the first time ppl have romanticized the villian. Hannibal was a cannibal, ppl thirst over him. Joe Goldberg, no different. Lestat, abuser, yall let ppl thirst over him. Like can we please understand that we have two sides of our brains and we can use both. We see what the movie is conveying!!!! WE ALSO SEE A NEW HOT VILLAIN THATS LITERALLY A FANTASY! NOT REAL!!! Irl, I wouldn’t even waste my time on a mf like remmick, but baby this ain’t real. He can get it!
I keep seeing ppl claiming “no one let the film digest before they started with the remmick fics.” Yall do realize, when writers get an idea, that shit needs to be written out as soon as they can because it eats away at their thoughts or it get so bad to the point they can’t concentrate on anything? Like damn just let ppl be. If yall don’t feel the same about him, let it be and ignore it. It wasn’t for your consumption clearly. I respect those opinions and I definitely understand them. But it’s tumblr bro, let it be. 🥱
I’m trying to prove people wrong.
I think boys can wear makeup, and I hate seeing people bring them ( boys wearing makeup) down.
what do you think of the ship/rare pair prowlerbyte? ^^
Oh my gosh, I think it’s absolutely adorable & precious (≧◡≦) ♡
I was going to respond with this alone, but on a whim, I decided to make my first Drabble/pentadrabble!!
I hope you enjoy!
✩⟡∵⋰ Synopsis: It’s just a regular day of sending anomalies home, until Margo detects someone new. Even though he wears a face she already knows, she feels they’ve never met before.
✩⟡∵⋰ Content: Fluff, staring rizz lol
✩⟡∵⋰ Wc: ≈ 450+
✩⟡∵⋰ Strawberry sticky (A/N): I apologize for any errors, I literally just wrote this out lol ❀
Spiderbyte can easily find herself encountering a lot of people and things she's never seen before.
Of course this comes through the lovely job of sending anomalies home. Wherever they call home, whatever dimension they belong to, there they will go with her help.
One day, a certain anomalie filters through HQ. Apparently, he got thrashed into another earth and got himself into some trouble. As per usual.
Prepared to send yet another person home, she watches as the caged troublemaker is taken towards the platform that will put him in his correct dimension.
However, as she catches sight of his figure, something seems oddly familiar about it. About him.
Looking closely at them now, Margo pauses in confusion. This person looks like Miles, Earth-1610 Miles, but it's not. He's far from it.
This isn't her Miles and she's only met one. This Miles, drenched in a dark magenta, is permeating a rugged, raw, indelicate and crude energy, one that her Miles has never exuded.
An energy he's never had to.
As he finally reaches the platform, Spiderbyte can't help but acknowledge how calm and unmoving he is. Most anomalies thrash, groan, complain, and try to escape their scarlet ridden cells.
He however, is unmoving. Just as his eyes are now unmoving from her.
With purple cascading down his silhouette, with softly braided hair glistening in the light, cold and pain dressed eyes meet Spiderbyte's gaze, Margo's gaze, clad in darkness and confidence.
Staring at her intently now, slowly eyeing her up and down, Spiderbyte remains in Prowler Miles' vision, almost drinking her in as if he would lose sight of vengance.
Vengeance. A ravishing craving, that sticks close to the Prowler.
Vengance. A sweet and savory treasure every person craves for; longs for, as their hearts cry out for justice they may never receive.
Never looking anywhere else, even as the white mechanical spider above him works to send him home, his eyes remain on her for moments on end.
Only as the spider finishes it's handiwork, does Margo notice the glint in his eyes.
Spiderbyte. His new fascination.
Spiderbyte. The young woman who the Prowler would love to chase down in pursuit of knowledge. Knowledge about who she is, where she's from, what she likes, and what she loves.
He wants to know about her now. He wants to have her now.
"See you 'round." Miles softly grins, with heavy eyes and a mind intent on getting what he wants.
Reading the implications behind his farewell easily, Margo knows she will see him again.
In fact, she's looking forward to it.
She's got a funny habit of interacting with the forbidden, and there's no one to stop her from doing it once more.
Even as Miguel places a hand on her shoulder, and gently says, "Try me, Margo", she knows nothing will stop this Miles from prowling into HQ again, and into her life once more.
Keep reading
42!Miles x Sleepy!Reader
Ms. Rio loooovvveeessss reader and she even comes over when Miles isn’t there to hang out with her on days she’s not working
Most of the time reader takes naps in Miles bed with his shirts on and that’s when he usually gets home <33
(•̀ᴗ•́)و SLEEPY..
MILES G. MORALES X SLEEPY! READER
headcanons!
whenever you come to the house, mama rio welcomes you with open arms, now she isn’t gonna lie and say she liked you from the jump because she didn’t; it took some getting used too, before she even trusted you.. miles is her little boy and she loves him more than she loves anything. she just wants the best for him.
but after the three month anniversary, you had asked her about her dislike about you, and nervously gave her this big speech about how much you loved her son, and how you would do nothing but love him.. do nothing but show him how much you love him and show her how much you love her son.. is when she finally loosened up.
she feeds you, she has a photo of you and miles in her phone case, telling others..
“ this is mi mijo and his girlfriend! she’s beautiful isn’t she?”
whenever you come over, and you’re sleepy, she tries her best to keep you up until miles comes home
“ ah mija.. you wanna help me cook?”
“ I’m trying to learn how to knit… you wanna watch tutorials with me?”
“ let’s take a walk!”
it doesn’t take long before she’s giving up though, you’re a growing girl, and also a student at Vision’s Academy! It’s where you and miles met; she knows from a few sleepless nights her son has had that that school is tough, that doesn’t stop her from encouraging you two to do your best for your future.
so, now whenever she sees you walk through the door, with your bonnet in hand.. she sends a simple greeting
“ hey.. you sleepy? miles isn’t here right now.. I’ll tell him to get you when he comes back.”
“ okay mama.”
“ I love you.”
“ thank you, love you too.”
and then you’d be going into miles’ room; bonnet over your afro and falling down into his bed
the sleep would usually only last about a few hours before you feel the bed weigh down, your body going on high alert and waking you up, just to see your boyfriend in front of you.
“ woah.. mami, what’s wrong with you?”
“ nothing.. I just got a little scared.”
he would chuckle at your words, giving you a kiss on the cheek, his own bonnet on his own head as he laid down next to you
something he did whenever he got home and saw you fast asleep in his bed, he loved sleeping next to you.
BUT…
when he finds you in his shirts, is when he’s usually nothing but a giggling mess; the shirts go to your mid thigh, it’s never you wearing JUST his shirt, you always have a pair of his sweatpants on as well..
but he takes pictures of you, sleeping in his clothes ( sometimes even in his bonnet when you forget yours or come straight to his home on fridays)
he definitely sends the pictures to ganke; teasing him about how he has a beautiful girlfriend who wears his clothes & ganke doesn’t
“ look at my mami in my clothes..”
“ oh sorry.. I forgot you don’t know what it’s like..”
“ okay.. you know what-“
he had made it his profile picture on Instagram for a few hours.. a picture of you dressed in clothes that belonged to him, with drool running down your face, and sprawled out all crazy.. he only changed it after one of the guys from his old school that followed him said you were a baddie even while dressed casual
Yeah.. he wasn’t playing that, he loves to show you off, but if these niggas that was supposed to be his friends was showing out like that.. he was gonna keep his girl hidden from then on.
waking up in his arms though >>>
although when you first wake up, he’s sleep his damn self, and it’s a bit of a jumpscare; because miles is a guy who snores.. I will die on this, he snores.
it’s loud and obnoxious to the point he has to force himself to stay up so he doesn’t get on your nerves.
but you love him nonetheless.. and you love waking up to his gorgeous face too
Simu!Ken thought— he beaches off for you after one of the Kens or Barbies makes a mean comment about you. And ofc he wins
a/n: HAHAAAAA anon, your mind!! 😭🤌🏻 I decided to make this with both (mean) Ken and Barbie, and did my own lil 'thing' here ;))) thanks, sweetie!! (open to be read as Ryan!Ken, as usual!)
warnings: fluff! (+ teaching meanies a lesson & strong language!)
» fancy reading something new? check out my full m.list!
It's one thing to genuinely get on Ken's bad side, but it's another if the rest of the Barbieland follow suit.
Mean Barbie and Ken simultaneously arrived months after your Ken’s departure to find you, becoming the talk of the town in an instant. Though, 90% of the time, it was all for the wrong reasons.
Mean Barbie was demeaning, having a keen interest in insulting others for their interests and even their appearances. Mean Ken was no better, laughing in the Kens' face and Alan for liking anything that was, in his words, 'too girlish'.
Basically, they weren’t the best people to vibe with.
While both Weird Barbie and President Barbie tried their best to be civil with the two, the former was more vocal about her distaste, always giving them the stink eye as though she knew their words only went in one ear and out the other. President Barbie was more subtle, though she made sure to drop reminders about their actions here and there.
So when the mean match overheard the cheers and excitement over the infamous Ken coming back for a visit with his sweetheart, oh, they were not having it.
But soon, they were going to learn that their actions would, in fact, have consequences.
'Cause as the human saying goes; the more you fuck around, the more you find out.
President Barbie was there to greet you and Ken at the entrance, giving you a motherly hug before giving you a heads up and whispering in your ear about the notorious duo.
Though their behaviour wasn't nearly as bad as what you're used to in the real world, it didn't make them any less unpleasant to be around. Kudos to the Barbies and Kens (+ Midge & Allan!) for trying their best not to leave you alone with the two of them, though!
And it only took your Ken two days to do everyone a favour.
"Hoo, boy, here we go." Mean Ken scoffed at the sight of your Ken excitedly telling you about the surfboard he oftentimes used back when his whole purpose was to be Ken, "That was the cool guy around here?"
"Right? And I just don't see what's so special about her." His girl sneered.
"Tell me about it. Should've stayed where she came from like she was supposed to."
The rest of the Barbies and Kens froze up. They gave Pompadour Ken a quick glance, who was now uncharacteristically quiet.
Oh no.
Who were they to insult you for being you?
You've also noticed the two literally talking crap about you, though you were more concerned about Ken.
"Ken," You gently stroked his face, hoping it'll ease the sudden tension in his jaw, "Hey, don't listen to them."
"Hey, pal!" Mean Ken called out to him, "Wanna show us your lil' beach moves? Maybe tell us what's so special about your girl?"
Ken didn't speak up. He has millions of reasons why you were extremely special to him, but he learnt from you that losing his cool would be a total win for his opposition.
But the mean twins didn't take being ignored too kindly.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He barked, pushing your Ken. He nearly lost his balance, almost hitting you with the surfboard he was holding.
It wasn't long before Ken finally lost his cool, swinging the surfboard square in Mean Ken's face. He flew away at an immense height and questionable physics, falling on his back just by the sea.
Some laughed, others cheered. By now, everyone was watching, even Mermaid Barbie and Ken showed up after hearing about a possible showdown on the Malibu Beach. They shook their heads the way disapproving parents would before waving at you, happy to see a nicer face in town.
"Oh my gosh, Ken!" Mean Barbie squawked, running to her man and shaking his unconscious body a little too aggressively, "What did you do?!"
"I just gave him what he deserved." Your Ken shrugged, running his fingers through his hair that had messed up when he lost his cool.
"You didn't have to like, punch him!"
"It was gonna happen eventually," Alan murmured to himself, only to earn sounds and nods of approval from the rest of the Kens and Barbies. Even if Pompadour Ken wasn't the one putting them in their place, someone would've.
Sure, maybe a dance-off would've been sufficient.
Buuut, then again, it was probably the real-world air that he's been breathing in for so long, so it was only a matter of time before his patience snapped, and it did when they started running their mouths about you.
After all, Mean Ken preferred 'manlier' efforts.
"You're in huge trouble, weirdo!" She hissed, believing your Ken's (necessary) violence could easily banish you two from Barbieland.
"And what're you gonna do about it?" It was your turn to challenge her, standing closer to her with your arms crossed. You weren't just going to stand there and let her spit venom at your boyfriend, much less at your new friends.
Just a reminder that your hands were rated E for everyone.
"I'll… I'll…! I'll tell Psycho Barbie!"
"That won't be necessary." Everyone's heads turned to the side to see Weird Barbie approaching, boots off as she walked on the sandy floor with a delighted smirk on her face, "And that's Weird Barbie to you, missy."
She turned to Pompadour Ken, patting him on the shoulder with a grin, "Good job, kid. Didn't think you had it in you but it's probably that wild human air," She then turned to you with a wink, "You got quite the keeper."
Ken mirrored her proud smile.
"A little help, doc?" She nodded at Doctor Barbie, who immediately rushed to her side. Weird Barbie pointed behind her with her thumb, "Give that guy a quick scan before the President gets here, will ya?"
Weird Barbie was no doubt beyond excited to report the two, and with tons of eyes as witnesses.
"Hey," Your Ken placed his hand on the small of your back, "I'm sorry about that. You wanna head home or…?"
Ken was less than pleased by the thought of the day being ruined but he'd understand if it had because of the mere presence of the two. Some may call him dramatic, but to you, he was just making sure of your comfort.
"No, no," You shook your head, resting your head on his chest, "I'm okay."
The groans and whines of Mean Ken and Barbie respectively as President Barbie berated their actions were just bonuses to the feeling of you against him. Softening him up from what had happened prior like kneading dough ever so gently.
"I recall a certain someone promising to play his guitar around a campfire for me?" You teased him, hoping to lift his spirits.
"I did, didn't I?" He hummed, grabbing his guitar bag that lay on the beach chair before wrapping his other arm around you, "C'mon, I know the perfect place."
He brought you to the spot furthest from the 'busy zone', though that didn't stop his friends from dropping stuff like a blanket, sausages and marshmallows to roast as a thank you for his service.
All in all, the night ended on a much higher note, with your boyfriend serenading you with romantic and cheesy songs he learnt back in the real world and stuffing yourselves with some good campfire food.
