Miles Morales from Into the Spiderverse

Not 100% satisfied on this one but it still turned out pretty good.

"You haven't broken a rule, ever?" Miles asked, a look of in-credulousness on his face.

"Well, I mean, I've stolen the occasional pencil from other people's desks. But, no I haven't really done anything crazy." I said as we walked though the halls of Brooklyn Visions Academy.

"Okay, you, me, and a couple bottles of spray paint. Meet me in my room at 12:20 tonight. We're sneaking out." Miles whispered to me.

"Seriously?" I questioned. "We are totally gonna get caught."

"No we won't." Miles said walking in front of me. He turned around and starts walking backwards to his next class. "Don't be late, (Last Name)."

"Wouldn't dream of it, Morales." I called out.

At 12:15 I got up, having to take a quick nap before we went out. Peeking over the edge of my bunk I made sure my roommate was asleep before I got down. I grabbed my jacket and swiftly made my way the the boy dormitory.

Going to Miles' room I silently prayed that his roommate was asleep. I paused at the door for a second before pushing it open a crack. I spied Miles reading a comic book and let out a quiet cough. His head shot up and he exited his room to the hallway.

"So, how are we doing this?" I whispered.

"Okay so, this is going to sound crazy. Like really crazy but- por favor no se asuste." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I'm Spiderman and I can like stick on walls and stuff. So I was thinking, you could hold onto me and I could climb."

I froze, baffled about how he was trying to gloss over something so life changing. "Miles- wait- whoa... you're... that is awesome." Smiling, I grabbed his hand. "I am peeved that you didn't tell me sooner but, let's be honest, I'd be peeved either way."

"You- you're being super calm about this." He suspiciously pulled his hand way. "So you're not that mad? Or worried?"

"Nope."

"Oh, okay. Well, Ganke is asleep so be quiet and we should be fine." Miles said, pulling me into the room. He opened the window and maneuvered himself on the wall.

"Uh- Miles, I'm sorta getting nervous now." I whispered. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me out. Holding him tightly, I tried to glance down at the street below.

"Ah, ah, ah estúpida. Don't look down!" He scolded as he put his hand over my eyes. "Okay, I'm going to use my web shooters to swing. Promise me you won't puke, look down, or scream?"

"Uh no!" I screeched as he swung to the next building. Tightening my hold as tight as humanly possible I felt Miles' chuckle. "You are so mean, Morales!" I said, which caused him to laugh more. I buried my head into his shoulder til he put me down.

"Come on, princesa. We're here." He said. I finally looked up at the subway sign.

"Seriously, Morales, the subway?" I asked.

"Just follow me." He said before leading me into a large room filled with graffiti on every wall.

"Is this your Expectations piece?" I remembered him showing it to me shortly after we first met.

"Yeah, I came here with my Uncle Aaron before he passed. He helped me put it up. This is also where I got bit by the spider who gave me my powers."

"Morales, you didn't say anything about spiders." I worriedly glanced around. He laughed before getting the paints out.

  "The spider is long dead. You have nothing to worry about." He smiled.

  After a couple mistakes and fixes we were done. Stepping back to look at it, I sighed. It looked pretty good.

"I don't know about you, but I'm tired." I yawned.

  "You're always tired, (Nickname)." He sighed. "Come on, let's go."

  He swung us back to the school, dropping me off at the window of my room.

  Quietly entering the room I turned back to Miles. "Thanks, Morales. I had a good time."

  "Anytime, (First Name). I had fun too." He gave me a slight smile.

  "Goodnight, Miles." I smiled. Leaning out the window, I kissed him, before shutting the window.

  I watched his shocked face turn into an excited face as he grinned a huge smile and swung away shouting with excitement. I chuckled a little bit before getting ready for bed.
