“Hey, Miles?”
“Yes, Gwen?”
“I’m cold.”
Miles looks up from his homework and sees Gwen hugging herself, teeth chattering lightly. He raises an eyebrow, “Do you want me to close the window?” Gwen nods as Miles stands up, sliding the window down.
Gwen sighs, smiling slightly, and sits on Miles’ bed, making herself comfy with the soft mattress and blanket.
“Better?” Miles asks, a small smile tugging on his lips, “Yeah.” Gwen answers, giving him a grateful smile. “I’d bring my sweaters from my dimension over, but I don’t wanna open another portal again. How is your dimension already so cold? It’s only October…”
Miles shrugs, “Dunno. Is your dimension warm at this time?” He sits back down at his table, picks up his pencil again, and continues to do his homework.
“Yeah. It’s still pretty hot at this time of the month.” Gwen puts the blanket around her shoulders, feeling the soft fabric on her hands.
“Can’t imagine,” Miles replies and mumbles something incoherent, frantically writing things down on the paper. Gwen stares at Miles, a blush coming up to her face.
He looks so focused. I want to kiss him.
She then shook her head lightly, desperately getting rid of those thoughts. His parents are right outside his room, goodness sake!
“What…are you working on…?” Gwen awkwardly clears her throat, looking at Miles’ back. He’s slightly slumped over the desk, his pencil moving quickly.
“Physics homework. The teacher is so strict! He likes giving us homework on the weekends for some reason.” Miles sighs and puts his pencil down, stretching his back. He lets out a groan as he feels his joints pop quietly.
“Finally done…” Miles leans backward in his chair, looking up at the ceiling.
“Miles…” Gwen says, rubbing her hands together, “My hands are cold.” She wraps the blanket tighter around her shoulders and leans back against the wall, closing her eyes.
Miles stands up and walks to his bed, sitting next to Gwen. He slowly takes her hands into his, rubbing small circles with his thumb. “Is this better?” He says softly, looking down at their hands.
Gwen’s eyes widen in surprise and she nods, blushing slightly. Her shoulders relax as she lays her head on Miles’ shoulder.
Miles eventually puts an arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.
(MILES MORIZZLES OMG)
“You know…my lips are feeling pretty cold right now,” Gwen whispers, looking up at Miles with soft eyes. Her hair tickles his chin slightly. Miles puts a hand on her cheek, slowly leaning in.
“...And I brought snacks! Who’s hungry?” Rio’s voice rings from behind the bedroom door, quick knocks echoing throughout the room. Gwen and Miles quickly spring away from each other, sitting at the opposite ends of the bed.
“H-hi, Mrs Morales!” Gwen smiles nervously at Rio who walks into the room, holding a tray of fruit and juice, setting it down carefully on Miles’ table.
Rio’s eyebrow twitches slightly as she smiles at Gwen, “It got quiet in here. I’ll leave the door open. ” She leaves the bedroom, keeping the door open a few inches.
A pause of silence passes. Miles awkwardly laughs, wrapping an arm around Gwen’s shoulder again. Gwen shudders and leans into his hold, hugging him tightly.
Gwen relaxes and puts her head on Miles’ chest, hearing the steady rhythm of his heart. “You’re warm…” She whispers, snuggling her head into the crook of his neck.
She smiles as she feels warm lips on her forehead, sighing happily. She falls back to the bed, pulling Miles down with her. She cuddles up to him, holding him like a giant stuffed animal.
“Guess I won’t be moving from this spot then,” Miles whispers, smiling as he pulls the blanket up to Gwen’s chin, rubbing a hand on her back. Gwen lets out a quiet giggle as she glances up at him with a soft smile.
“Guess so,” Gwen replies, grinning slightly.
Miles kisses her lips, putting his hand on her cheek.
“Hey, Miles?”
“Yes, Gwen?”
“I’m not cold anymore.”
