AUTHOR'S NOTE:
*I DO NOT OWN SPIDER-MAN OR ANYTHING RELATED WITH HIM!*
Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever fan fiction about Miles' and Gwen's relationship after the "Into the Spider-Verse" movie. I got the idea for this fan fic right after watching the last scene where Gwen seems to be opening a portal to Miles's universe. I really hope you like it, but please keep in mind that this is my first time writing a story like that.
PLEASE REVIEW, AND ENJOY!
Chapter. 1
Most great stories start very similar, with a grand event setting things in motion, and with a meeting of our heros...Well...I see no reason not to follow their example, so follow me in this heartfelt journey...which started in a hero's...dormitory...
Miles was lying in his bed with his trusty headphones on, as always playing the "Sunflower'' to his sleep. This song was especially close to the young hero's heart.
It was the one thing that could always bring some peace and quiet into the boy's most often rushing mind, no matter if he was swinging through the city, fighting bad guys or simply being on the down low...yeah, he got that a lot...
And while the song was indeed very calming, it always made him very nostalgic...It made him think about everything that happend over these last few months...And A LOT has happened,
The moments he spent with his family, especially uncle Aaron...or when he was web-swinging through the forest for the first time with Peter. He remembered how he met his fellow spider-people, along with his universe's Aunt May, all of which helped him to eventually become the Spider-Man he inspired to be...although he still had so much to learn.
But all of these things were outshined by the memories of one person in particular. Gwen Stacy, the blonde haired Spider-Girl from another dimmension...or school, depending on the perspective, his Sunflower...
Everytime he heard the lyrics, it made him remember every single moment they spent together so clearly, it was like reliving them all over again. Ever since they first met, he knew that there was something very special about her.
From simple things like the way she looked at him, her beautiful, light, blonde hair, especially after their "little accident" at school, her adorable smile, subtle piercing in her right eyebrow, and big eyes so gorgeous, he could swear they were made of pure diamonds.
Of course Gwen was much more than just her looks, she was confident, smart, brave...All the best qualities a hero can have...or a girl...You could say she had everything, that she was...perfect...even so, she felt none of it...not since her Peter died...Really unfair how the world can beat you down...for no reason. But Gwen was a fighter, in every sense of the world and meeting the awkward boy from Brooklyn brought back her spirit...still, in those defining moments she couldn't bring herself to be really close to someone again...a decision that brought her a whole another world of pain...
And although she sometimes had her doubts in Miles' abilities, same as everyone else, Gwen never seased to believe in the young hero, and eventually saw a great power in him, which gave her strength as well. The thought of meeting him again got her through some tough times more than once since they parted ways...
The way they were clumsily acting around each other created a strong, unspoken connection between the two heroes. It made them feel like they knew each other forever, in some ways...they resembeld themselfes.
Her voice was mezmorising, so much so that when she spoke, Miles couldn't focus on anything, but a cute little gap between her snow white teeth...unless she was wearing a mask...that helped.
All of these things combined made him feel like never before, so good, yet never so nervous around anyone else in his life. In their short time together...he got to love that girl...And even though they parted as friends, our hero knew, that it was only the beginning of their shared story in the multiverse...
And as he was dreaming about her, he heard...no, FELT Gwen's voice echoing around him waking him up. He couldn't believe that he was looking at his dream being materialised right before his eyes.
"Miles? Miles! You got a minute?", said the beautiful shadow exiting the portal, reaching for our hero's shoulder in a similar way he did, when they awkwardly got to meet each other at school.
At first, he thought he was still dreaming, but as soon as he felt her discinct touch on his skin, he reconsidered in a very smooth way. So much so, he fell off his bed...straight on his face.
Fortunitely, his roommate was away to visit his family outside the city, so Miles didn't have to worry about him passing out in shock again, even though he already knew Miles' "little secret". Our young hero assimilated with the situation fairly quickly and sat up with Gwen sitting next to him.
A simple "Hi'' was the only thing he could bring himself to say in response, astounded by the girl's presence.
Gwen was wearing her casual clothes, to which Miles wasn't very accustomed to, but he didn't mind them, he didn't mind them at all actually...
"She looks so beautiful...", he thought to himself. "Ahh, Focus, Morales, focus!", were the lines that followed right after, snaping him out of his mindless stare.
"Look, I know that I shouldn't be here, unstable molecules and all, but I do have a reason...a fairly good one'', said the supposed South-African with no accent, while rolling her eyes.
"And that is?'', replied Miles with an uncertain smile on his face.
"Y-you'', said Gwen stuttering a little.
You could very clearly see the blush on her face, which made the kid from Brooklyn blush a bit in return.
"I missed you Miles...like a lot'', she added, stressing the last part.
"You know...back in my universe I don't really have anyone since my version of Peter died, and like I told you before...I didn't want to put anyone else in danger, so...I kind of cut myself off from people...it gets lonely...very lonely...'', said "Gwanda" with a noticible remorse in her voice.
She still blamed herself for her friend's death. A few seconds of reminiscing was enough...you could almost see the tears forming in her eyes, just ready to be spilled.
"Hey...It wasn't your fault, you did everything you could to save him'', said Miles carefully wrapping his arm around the gold headed spider. She leaned over his shoulder and sobbed a quite:
"T-thanks Miles...It's really nice to finally have someone close to me'', she added, whiping off her tears.
"At your service, Sunflower...'', replied Miles with a confident grin on his face.
"Please say you like it, please say you like it...", Miles rambeled in his head, a bit afraid of Gwen's reaction.
"Sunflower, huh? I like that...'', Gwen responded with a little chuckle escaping her mouth as she wrapped her arm around his back.
"She likes it...", thought Miles, trying to hold back a big smirk appearing on his face.
They both felt like they're in the right place, with the right person. The atmosphere in the dorm room was simply stunning. Subtle moonlight creeping through the window, all around them complete silence silence and in the centre of it all, two of them stuck in a warm embrace.
"Should I tell him now? What if he doesn't feel the same...what if I scare him away or...?", Gwen was constantly thinking to herself, but eventually her feelings got over her judgement.
"M-miles?, she started looking up at him.
"Yeah?'', he asked.
"I've been meaning to tell you something, s-something important", stuterred Gwen, with a different than usual voice and a very distinct look on her face.
She was nervous, her heart was speading up.
"I...l-like you...'', she mumbled a bit uncertain.
"I like you too, Gwen'', responded Miles, a bit too hastily and a bit too casually, not realising, what she really meant.
"No, I... REALLY like you, Miles...I mean, like more than a friend'', she said a bit more firmly this time.
Miles suddenly realised his current situation, causing his eyes to widen up a bit, and his mouth to open slitely, overwealmed by his dream's confession.
"It's just that...I have never felt like this around anybody ever before", she continued, looking straight in his eyes.
"And...I'm just...SOO done being all alone all the time, to think that I have to be...I just don't want anyone to get hurt, or for me to get hurt or...or-", she said lovingly, before going off a tangent.
"Gwen I...I don't know what to say, I really like you too, but...we both know you can't stay here for long", he said with a racing heart, holding her hands together.
"Why am I discouraging her? Am I crazy?! That's literally the opposite of what I'm trying to-", he slapped himself in his head, when he was suddenly cut of by his angel's hypnotizing voice.
"Miles, I...I think love you'', she finally confessed, very softly...and very quietly...leaving no more words to be desired from neither of them...
