You can't just give up (Part 5: I missed this feeling)
a/n:When I tell you guys Miguel brain-rot is real...IT'S REAL!!! Anywhoooo I thought since I'm in so deep why not add more characters to bring this storyline to life even more yk and so I don't go mentally insane because my friends are very close to committing me to a nuthouse indefinitely, it may not be the content you signed up for but it's what you're getting lol
Pairing: Noah x Mark jkjkjk don't leave please Miguel O'hara x Spider!fem
Notes: This is a shorter one that's just a whole lot of fluff, I really like it because it has a cute concept behind it and you don't really have to read my other parts to understand, it just stands by itself. This story is inspired by Hey Ya! by Outkast. Also in honor of Pride month and because I think it's cute Noah is engaged to his childhood best friend. BTW it is not just Pride month but also Men's mental health awareness month and PTSD awareness month as well as a bunch of other things, which are definitely discussed in other parts! EVERYONE matters and I love you all 🥰
Word count: 900
Okay, I'm done talking, Enjoy :D
I sat on the couch combing my fingers through Miguel’s hair while his head rests on my lap and arms wrapped around my waist. And I read the new murder mystery book I had bought recently, soft music played from the small radio I owned. The lights were dim as the sun was getting ready to set and we were in our pj’s, it felt perfect. Miguel hadn’t had much down time lately and I could see him pushing himself to a breaking point and so I had Lyla schedule a day off for him. I offered him a day at the park but he just wanted to stay home, when he called this home my heart melted. I had even made room in my closet and freed up a few dresser drawers for his clothes. We had spent practically the whole day like this. I didn’t mind it one bit, not only did I get to read in a calm atmosphere but Miguel was also here! It was a nice feeling, I could even hear a slight snore at times. I was reaching the point in the book where the plot thickens and the tension is at an all time high when there’s a knock on the door. I put my book down to see who it was but Miguel’s grip got tighter, and he sat up close to my face.
“What are the chances it’s Liam?”
I think about it for a second “about 50/50” 
Miguel looked at me as if that was seriously my answer “How about 90/10” 
I smirk at him “wanna bet?”
“What is with you and betting, gambling is an unhealthy addiction”
“That’s what I thought, you just don’t wanna lose like last time” I rub in his face as I get up “Coming!”
I open the door and instantly smile seeing his face 
“Mark?!” 
“Hey kiddo, I’ve been worried about you. You haven’t been answering your phone and I’ve been trying your door for days, not to mention the electricity and water bills have been almost nonexistent.”
“I’m sorry, in all honesty work has been pretty demanding lately and I may have lost my phone and just never thought to replace it”
He scoffs “Don’t worry me like that, I’ve already lost your brother I can’t lose you too” 
I hug him “I know I know, come in” I say moving out the way
“Oh, Mark this is Miguel and Miguel this is Mark” I introduce them as Miguel makes his way over to us
Mark turns his head to me and whispered “he is a lot bigger than what you described”
It is true, Miguel had indeed gotten quite big these past two years. He turned back around and gave Miguel a firm handshake sticking his chest out trying to appear more intimidating, I laughed at his obsceneness causing him to exhale and loosen up a bit.
“Nice to meet you Miguel, I’ve heard quite a bit about you”
I back up to get behind Mark so I can rub it in Miguel’s face that I was right yet again, then I come back around to his side.
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, Y/N always tells me everything whenever we get the chance to be alone”
He looked at me “Everything?”
“Well him and Noah have known about my spider abilities for a long time after they caught me sneaking back in at late hours in my uniform, so yeah he also knows that we have similar abilities”
“Oh”
“Don’t worry he’s very trustworthy” I say, placing my hand on his shoulder. 
“Oh and this is my brother’s partner in the police force aka my brother-in-law” I smile at him “Well technically anyway, since him and my brother were engaged”
“Are” Mark corrects me
“Are, right” I smile at him, he’s not in denial he just doesn’t think he’ll find love again after Noah. I don’t blame him for thinking like that
“Woah, you still use this old thing?” Mark says redirecting his attention to my radio, he does a little channel surfing before finding our usual station. The song playing was ending as he turned up the sound. 
*One, Two, Three, uh!* 
We both shouted in excitement, this was our song. Me and Mark would dance to the song in the living room during early morning hours while Noah cooked breakfast
We sang along to the song while dancing, then during the second Chorus Miguel shouts over the music
“You do realize what he’s singing about right?”
Me and Mark start laughing uncontrollably, “Noah would’ve loved him!” “I agree, they have the same dry humor too”
“Noah would point it out to us too. You wanna know what we would do when he did!?”
“What?”
*Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it*
“We make him join!” Me and Mark say in unison as we each grab his hand dragging him in to dance with us. I could tell Miguel wasn’t too comfortable with dancing at first but after a few seconds he gave in and loosened up a little. Don’t get me wrong he was still a little awkward and stiff but I could tell he was happy and as long as he was happy I was happy, dancing carefree with my favorite people in this world was the best feeling in the world. I missed this feeling.

You can't just give up (Part 4: I'm all yours)
Also my wattpad account, just the same thing fr
a/n: There is a fourth wall break in the middle, sorry for that. I got stuck on one part and said fuck it cuz I wanted to get past it. Still hope it's enjoyable though. I also went through a few websites and articles about Miguel and his past, some said different things so I went with being as vague as possible. There is a Spanish word at the end, I hope it's not cringy, I remember my friend called me her heart in Spanish and it was really cute so yeah. Got really close to adding some ✨S M U T ✨ but the story was running a little long lol.
Pairing: Say it with me Miguel O'hara x Spider!fem
Notes: 👷🏽‍♀🤷🏽‍♀=👍 🤬=👎 (Please tell me you understand my dry humor, I try to keep things fresh), mentions of drug abuse and crappy parenting. It is PTSD awareness month and I am sorry for anyone who struggles with it because it sucks (I know first hand). Just know you are not alone and you are seen, in honor of that there is discussion of seeking therapy and getting support.
Word count: 2,135 (Not including my wall break, 2,169 with the break)
Okay, I'm done talking, Enjoy :D
I sit in front of my vanity, questioning if I look good or not. I tried at least 10 different hair styles before I settled on a half up half down with a braid running along both sides. Should I put on makeup? I ask myself looking at the dark circles under my eyes and the stress acne on my cheeks that never seem to go away. My stomach is in a knot, I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this nervous. Why am I so nervous and stressing myself out over this, what makes this time with Miguel so different from all the others?
*Knock Knock*
That must be Miguel! Deep breathes Y/n. I open the door to see Liam…damn it. I don’t let indifference show though.
“Hey Liam what’s up?”
“Wow, you look amazing!”
“Thank you” I smile 
“Special occasion?” 
“Yeah! For the first time in a while” I genuinely smile at the thought of Miguel
“Nice…uh I was just gonna ask if you wanted to go to the movies to see a new movie but you’re busy so I’ll just go” he laughs nervously walking away
I closed the door and was about to go back to nitpicking my appearance but not even 2 footsteps away from the door I heard another knock. I sigh, what does Liam want now? I open the door and look at the position Liam would be standing only to be met with a large chest, I look up to meet Miguel’s eyes. I tried not to smile too big. “Come in, I was just finishing up getting ready”, Miguel was wearing a plain black turtleneck with a blazer on top and khaki pants. And here I am just in a plain black dress with jewels around the waist, now I feel underdressed too. 
“You look nice, stop overthinking so much” he says taking his watch off placing it next to mine on the kitchen counter and replacing it with a normal one
“I uh” I stutter trying to come up with something to say 
“I could practically hear your thoughts from here.” I giggle at the comment 
Miguel got closer, he placed his index finger under my chin and tilted my head up. He went to kiss me when I covered his mouth only inches away from my face, I smiled at him as he frowned confused.
“I don’t kiss on the first date”
He backs away from my hand “Is that so?”
I shook my head “Yup”
He caresses my cheek “Okay then”
“Are you ready to go?” I ask
“As long as you are” 
I reach for my car keys when Miguel stops me
“It’s close”
“Oh okay” I say as he opens the door
I wrap my arm around his, as we leave my apartment, Miguel closes the door behind us.
Tumblr media
“Where are we going?!” I ask curious and excited
“Can’t tell you or it’ll ruin the surprise”
“Ughh can I at least get a hint?!”
“Hmm” he looks down at me pleading “No”
My face drops, I really thought he’d at least give me a really obvious answer
I sigh “Fineee”, I just enjoy the nice evening walk through the street. I felt a cool breeze, it is starting to get a little chilly. Halloween decorated the windows of store and restaurant fronts, I probably should’ve brought a sweater. I know I’m going to regret not bringing one later. Miguel stops, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blindfold. “Do you mind?” “Not one bit” then he walks behind me and places the blindfold on. “How many fingers am I holding up?” “Hmm I’m gonna go with 3”, “Yeah you can’t see a thing, I didn’t even have my hand up” “Hey no fair!” “Well I would’ve just told you to cover your eyes with your hands but I don’t trust you enough not to peek”, I didn’t say anything to defend my case. He’s not wrong I would totally peek, Miguel grabs my hand and guides me to this secret location of his. After about 2-3 minutes of walking it was completely silent, there was no more commotion of people, just the sound of crickets and the swaying of grass in the breeze. “You can take off the blindfold now”, I’m nervous my stomach knot gets tighter as I reach behind my head and untie the bond. What could this surprise possibly be! I open my eyes to see a picnic set up, oh god I think I might have a heart attack right here. I look at Miguel and give a delighted smile, “Shall we?” he says putting his hand out for me “We shall” I reply taking his hand. We sit down and he pulls out what he had brought…(Honestly you guys can imagine whatever food, sweets, and drinks you want, everyone has their own preferences. That and I can’t really think of any foods that someone would bring to a picnic lol)...and empanadas. This is truly lovely, Miguel didn’t strike me as the type of guy to like picnics. He hands me one of the empanadas, I gladly take it and take a bite. “Holy crap! This is amazing, did you make this yourself?” I ask in an amazed tone. Miguel laughs, like a genuine laugh of all the time I’ve known him. This is the first time I’ve heard his laugh. And his smile, it’s amazing to say the least. He covered his mouth after realizing I could see his fangs, I leaned towards him and pulled his hand down.
“I love your smile, I don’t think you should hide it”, he seemed bewildered at my comment 
“You don’t find them off putting?” 
“What! No”
I go back to my original sitting position and take another bite of the empanada, sooooo good I couldn’t help but think to myself. Seeing him enjoy his empanada made me happy.
“And yes I did make them myself, I’m glad you like it”
“Love them” I corrected him “and you are an amazing cook!”
“Thank you”
“You know, Noah was also great at cooking” I take another bite “I wish I had actually retained some of the information he taught me” I laugh at myself 
“You seem able to talk about Noah a lot easier”
“Yeah!” I say happily “I’ve made a lot of progress, I joined this therapy program to help deal with loss of loved ones and it really works. It’s like a weight lifted off my shoulders, I may never forget how much his death affected me but I can choose how to process it, and mom said therapy was for idiots” I laugh smugly
“Mom?”
“She's dead” I say unsympathetically  
“Sorry”
“No need to be sorry, I hated my parents”
“Really?” Miguel says almost shocked
“Yeah, you think the reason I’m this awesome is because of my parents?”
“Well I mean..”
I laugh “Don’t act so apprehensive I’m over it…and willing to talk about it if you’re curious”
He shrugs “We’ve got the whole night”
“Well she died when I was about 13 I think, it was an overdose. Turns out she was wrong…there is such thing as too much Heroin” I scoff at the memory 
I can still remember it vividly, I walked into the living room to see her passed out on the couch with the tv playing some stupid program. I unwrapped the rubber band on her upper arm, seeing all the bruising from the needle marks, I think that’s where my fear of needles began. I took the syringe out of her hand and threw it in the trash, sometimes she would talk in her drug induced sleep and if I was lucky she even responded to me. Those were the only bearable times I ever had with her, any other time was pure hell. “Mom, do you ever fear that you’re doing too much drugs?”, “there’s…never such a thing…as too…much heroin” that answer would stay with me for the rest of my life.
“And my dad was even worse, but I think that’s a story for a completely different time. Noah was basically the one who raised me, and I think he did a pretty good job. What about you?”
“My mother was eccentric to say the least, I did have a half brother named Gabe and my step-father was a piece of shit along with my biological dad, he’s part of the reason I’m like this”
“I mean hey, if it wasn’t for him being a piece of shit we would’ve never met” I look at him wait to agree with me
“Yeah you’re right” he takes my hand kissing it
I take the last bite of my empanada
“I’m sorry I didn’t take you out to a nice restaurant or anything, they can just tend to be really-”
“Loud” I say finishing his sentence “I think you forget we have similar abilities”
“Right”
Another and colder breeze flows by and I shiver
“Cold?”
“Not necessarily”
Miguel moves closer to me “Are you cold?”
I look away trying not to answer
“See, I’ve noticed this thing with you where when you don’t want to admit you need help but you also don’t want to lie so you remain quiet” He takes off his blazer and throws it around me, It’s so warm. He turns on the lantern that was set to the side. The sun was starting to set and the moon was rising, it was a beautiful scene. I can’t remember the last time I felt this relaxed, not a worry in the world. Miguel took my hand and placed it on his chest, it is only now that I realized how big his hands were compared to mine.
Tumblr media
He looked me in the eyes, this gesture alone said so many words. “I can’t remember feeling this much love from a person in a long time. When I first talked to you I was mesmerized by you, you were and still are just so amazing. And as I continued to be around you and get to know you more, you became less of a mystery I wanted to solve and more of a dream I wanted to protect. I don’t understand why you like me or what draws you to me but I’m happy I can be with you. It feels like you truly understand me, you don’t even get upset when I have an outburst or when you have to remind me to eat. You make me feel accepted and acknowledged. My heart belongs to you, I’m all yours. I love you Y/N.” I was speechless, I hugged Miguel tightly and he hugged me back, another cold breeze drifted by but I wasn’t affected. This is the warmest I’ve felt in a long time, I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. No, don't cry, no crying, damn it I’m gonna cry. Miguel pulls away to look at me, he cups my face and wipes away my tears, I give a small laugh out of embarrassment. I take his hands away from my face and into my hands, “How did I get so lucky with you, I love you Miguel'' I went in to kiss him but he covers my mouth, “Eating your own words now huh” he looks at me smugly. I look at him pleading, after a few seconds of looking at me he sighs and takes his hand down. “Fine” he mumbled rolling his eyes, I beam happily and lean in kissing him. I feel Miguel’s hands on my back travel down to my hips, it sends shivers up my spine. That’s when a colder breeze blows by and we both shake a little, “I guess that’s our cue to head home” I say. “Yeah, and I don’t want you getting sick either” he looks at me pecking my lips once more before getting up offering his hand to help me up after. We made our way back through the much less crowded street, everything was closed but the street light kept the way illuminated. Miguel stopped as I opened the door “I can’t stay tonight, I’m sorry”, I smiled “It’s okay, I had a great time tonight. Thank you” I express placing my arms on his shoulder getting on my tippy toes kissing him this time on the cheek. “I’ll see you tomorrow”, I walk into my apartment with this butterfly feeling in my stomach. “You look happy”, I jump looking in the direction of the voice to see Lyla. I take a deep breath, look back at her and realize that Miguel didn’t take his watch back. I quickly take his watch and run out of my apartment, I manage to catch him at the lobby. “You forgot your watch”, “Right, thank you Mi Corazón” he says, kissing my cheek and continues to walk away. I stood there for a few seconds admiring the fact he just called me his heart.

You can't just give up (Part 3: Let me help you)
a/n: I don't really have anything to say which is surprising...
Pairing: You know them, you love them Miguel O'hara x Spider!fem *And the crowd goes wild*
Notes: You know the drill! Constructive criticism? Good! Being a jerk? Bad! Not much angst, mentions of death, and I think that's all. Lemme know if I missed anything
Word count: EXACTLY 2,000!! Ngl i worked a little too hard to get that number but I did it
Okay, I'm done talking, Enjoy :D
I sat daydreaming in the cafeteria of the Spider Society HQ, the only thing running through my mind was Miguel. We didn’t even kiss, “Y/n” what am I so giddy over. “Y/n'' I mean we did share a bed and got really close to “Y/N!” “Huh?” I see Jess looking at me with her head tilted and eyebrow raised. 
“For someone with enhanced hearing it takes a lot to get you to hear me, why is that?” 
“Ummm well-”
“Miguellllll” I see Lyla pop up from my watch
“Lyla!” I say quickly and frantically waving my hand in front of her hologram to make her go away
“What about Miguel?” Jess questions
“Nothing!”
“...”
“They shared a bed” Lyla pops up once again
Jess raises both her eyebrow
“Not like that! We just slept”
“Got realllll close to kissing if you ask me” 
“Lyla, quit your spying!”
“It’s literally my job Y/n”
“But if it makes you feel any better Miguel hasn’t been getting much work done either” 
Lyla then pulls up live feed of Miguel seemingly staring off into space with a slight smile on his face. It was definitely a cute sight to see
“You really got a spell on this guy, I’ve never seen him act like this before”
I look down blush miserably failing to try and contain the biggest smile on my face
“Oh look, it’s Gwen! Hiii Gwen”
Jess rolls her eyes at me seeing that I’m taking an advantage of Gwen's presence to get out of the hot seat
“Hey Gwen”
“Hi Jess, Y/n, and Lyla?”
“I was just leaving, see ya Gwen”
Gwen is a sweet girl, I mean sure she can tend to get side tracked but can’t we all at times. And she always talks about her “friend” Miles, but I think there is a little more to the picture than she’s letting on though. I mean whenever she talks about him her heart rate spikes, “If I didn’t know any better I’d think she has a crush on the kid” Jess said the first time Gwen had brought up Miles. Me and Gwen get ringing from our watches. Miguel appears in front of us “Are you two up for a mission?” We both looked at each other and both agreed “Good, meet me outside in 10” and with that the call ended. Jess turned to me, oh god I have a feeling I know what she wants to talk about.
“Have you at least been on a date yet?”
“With who?” Gwen asked confused
“...no”
“You two should go on a date before doing anything big”
“Sex isn’t…THAT big” What am I even saying?! I’ve never even had my first kiss because all the guys at my school “weren’t worth it”
“Regardless…you should go on a date just to make sure he’s the one you want”
Jess makes a good point
“You’re right! We should get going though, see you later Jess”
“Be careful”
Me and Gwen get up and start heading towards the entrance 
“Who were you guys talking about?!” Gwen asked intrigued 
“Miguel”
She gasps dramatically 
“But this stays between us, K?”
“Yes ma’am” she says saluting me
We get outside to see Miguel waiting for us, “Ready?” We both shook our heads. We enter the portal. It looked normal so far, we followed Miguel's lead. “Be careful, the spiderman from here got really beat up, apparently it can duplicate.” Spider sense!! I had no time to react, one minute I was swinging on my web and the next I got tackled by some blob. We crashed into a building, that hurt really bad, Gwen landed next to me and helped me up. “Thanks” I said standing up and cracking my back. I look back up and freeze, “N..Noah” I could feel my heart pounding and my eyes beginning to water. I look at Miguel to see if I’m hallucinating, just by body language alone I can tell I’m not, it really was Noah in his police uniform. This fucking monster is taking the weakest part of my being and using it against me, I walk slowly to it “Y/n it’s not your brother!” Gwen tried to convince me, holding me back. I snatch my arm away, I walk up and hug it. I’m gonna make this son of a bitch pay for using my brother's death against me, I attach my web to its back and back away. I run in the opposite direction throwing it into the nearest building, “FUCK YOU!” I bend over placing my hands on my knees catching my breath, I’m shaking with anger. 
“Lyla” 
“Yes Miguel”
“What other trump cards does this thing have?”
“One second…seems like all it does is take your true weaknesses and fears and puts them against you, whether it’s something from your past or now, it could even turn your strengths around on you. You know what they say, “Every strength is also a weakness””
It starts to get back up, I swing over it and kick it deeper into the building. There’s a bit of a struggle for a while before Gwen enters to try and help with the fight but she’s quickly thrown out. Why does it want to fight me so badly? Miguel enters the building. It pulls out the gun from the holster “cOme CLoSEr AnD I ShOoT”, I scoff like that’s going to stop Miguel from ripping its limbs off, I mean that seriously can’t be Miguel’s worst… I looked over to him, he wasn’t moving. While it was distracted looking at Miguel I shot my webs at the gun and threw it out behind me through the hole I had made, Miguel then charges it but then it makes its way over to me. Grabbing me by the throat and raising me up and pinning me against the wall, I kick it anywhere I can but nothing is effective. “What happened to you?” Using his voice only made me angrier, I was able to fight it off with Miguel’s help and run out the building. I could hear them fighting from where me and Gwen stood 
“Lyla!”
“Yes?”
“Does this thing have any weaknesses?!”
“From what I can see the only thing is…possibly…water”
“Thanks”
“But it’s not a guarat-”
I swiped her away, now to get this asshole to some water. I look around us and see a port nearby, that gives me an idea. “Gwen, get Miguel away from it”, “What why?” “I just need you to do it for me!”, she shook her head and swung into the building. A few seconds later I see it coming out of the building making a beeline for me, I swing from one web to another. This thing is right behind me jumping and crawling on buildings, why is it so fast. I’m almost there, I slow down to let him catch up to me, I didn’t think this through…I can’t swim. Guess I’m going to have to take one for the team, I prepare myself. I feel it attach itself to me, I take one last breath. We both smack into the water, and start to fight. Maybe it’ll die if I keep it in the water long enough. We continue to exchange punches and kicks as we sink. It was even able to take off my mask, until it returned back to blob form then disintegrated. The water was cold, and getting darker and darker, my shoulder hurts, I think I dislocated it. I tried to swim back up for air, fuck fuck fuck! I can’t swim back up, I feel myself slipping and let go of my breath. Keep going, keep trying, keep fighting! I can’t…at least my last thought is…Miguel, I soften at that thought. I have regrets, like not kissing him, or going on a date with him, or not telling him that I love him. I closed my eyes, I tried, I really did Miguel. I’m sorry. 
I started feeling pressure on my chest, I opened my eyes and immediately turned to my side coughing up water somehow back on the dock. I look up at Miguel to see him dripping wet, “Fuck!” Miguel shouts as he hugs me “You scared the absolute shit out of me”, I say in between pants “Yeah, I scared the shit out of myself too”. Gwen joined in on the hug, I hugged them both back.
We walked into HQ, a few eyes gazed our way. Me, a bloody nose, a gash on my thigh, dislocated shoulder, and soaking wet. Miguel, soaking wet, and a gash on his left cheek. Gwen didn’t take much damage, thank god. Jess ran up to us 
“My god what happened!”
“A lot” I chuckle “I’m just glad Gwen didn’t get hurt too bad” I pat her back with my hurt shoulder grimacing in the process immediately putting my arm back down. Me and Miguel continued to walk together until we reached the medical center.
“Sit down, we need to get you squared away as soon as possible”
“What about your face?” I asked in worried tone reaching up to touch his wound
He stops my hand just as I was about to touch it “I can deal with that later, Sit. Down.”
“Just relocate my shoulder and I’ll help you!”
“I can do it myself.” He said getting closer and more assertive 
“I know you can, but I don’t know why you insist on doing everything by yourself. Let me help you.”
“Why! Why do you want to help me so bad?!”
“...because I…”
“You what?! Spit it out”
“Because I love you!” I declared
“...you love me?” he asked almost sounding in disbelief, I felt his grip loosen on my wrist
“You…were the last thing on my mind while I was sinking, and I regretted not telling you I loved you…” I confessed
I could tell he was thinking hard, I looked him in his eyes
“I love… I love you too” he cleared his throat “now sit down so I can relocate your shoulder”
I sat down, rolled down the top of my suit exposing the bruising all over my stomach and chest area especially my shoulder
“I’m going to have to-”
“Do you what you have to” and with my permission he slides down the strap of my training bra, I try my best to prepare myself for the pain I’m about to experience 
“I’m going to count down from 3”
“...”
*Crack*
“AHHH FUCK, what happened to counting down?!”
“Oh you wanted me to do it out loud?” Miguel said sarcastically 
I huff at his absurdness as he wraps my arm in place
“You know I also regretted not going on a date with you”
“Is that so?”
“Mhm”
He looked at me and grinned “I’ll clear my schedule then”
I get up as soon as he done “Now you sit down” I say smugly 
He obliges, I grab a few cotton swabs, alcohol, and a large bandage. I get on the bed on my knees next to him, and start to disinfect his wound. I take the wrapper off the bandage and place it on his face, Miguel turns his head towards me. I smile “It should heal nicely, don’t think it’ll even leave a mark”, I lean and he does the same. Nothing should interrupt us this time, stop to look him in the eyes “you better not make me regret having my first kiss with you” his eyes were honest “I won’t”. We kissed, it was passionate and deep. He placed his hand on my face and the other on my hip, it felt amazing, we broke the kiss breathing heavily. I feel the heat in my cheeks, I go in for another kiss and another. “Shouldn’t we treat your other wounds” he asks in between kisses, “Fuck them, they can wait” I say going back in for a longer kiss.

You can't just give up (Part 2: I wanna protect you)
a/n: I have been typing up a storm, I'm just trying to space out my posts but I have part 3 ready and working on part 4. I usually lose motivation by now so I'm patting myself on the back. I know to some people it's not a lot but I truly appreciate the likes and love I got from my last post, it's keeping me motivated. Thank you so so so much!
Pairing: Miguel O'hara x spider!fem (our fav 🤩)
Notes: Love constructive criticism, always looking to improve but don't be mean. I guess you can consider this angst-y
word count: 1750, I really try to make these numbers even lol
Okay, I'm done talking, Enjoy :D
Sometimes I get trapped in my thoughts, it always sucks when I need someone to pull me out at times. I sit on my couch, in *our* apartment, looking at Noah’s photo from the day he became Captain. “Noah…what I’d give to see you one last time”. I had asked Miguel for a day off to attend Noah’s funeral, he allowed it and even offered to come with me. I told him I’d be fine and he could continue his important work. The truth was I did want him to come, I wanted to hold his hand because I wasn’t strong enough to see my brother being buried by myself. I need him, especially now. He was always gentle when talking to me and considerate of my feelings. Some part of me hated it because it made me feel like a child but another part loved it because it made me feel cared for, it was how Noah talked to me, gently and sweetly. 
*Knock Knock*
I snapped back into reality, placed Noah’s picture on the coffee table in front of me and made my way over to the door. I opened it and it was just my elderly neighbor Miss Kate, for some reason a small part of me had hoped it was Miguel but that would never happen. He may care but probably not to that extent and plus he had more important things that needed his undivided attention, I chuckle to myself at my own stupidity and naivety. I smile “Good Evening, how can I help you Miss Kate”, “Oh nothing deary, your little boyfriend just got your door number wrong I was just leading him over here” that’s when Miguel stepped behind Miss Kate wearing sweatpants and a hoodie that said Carpe Diem. Definitely not like him at all. “Thank you again” he said to Miss Kate with a smile but being sure not to expose his fangs. “Of course, and y/n I am so sorry to hear about your brother, such an amazing and brilliant young man”, I look down for a second and look back up trying to smile “He really was”, “You two have a good night now”, and she enters her apartment as I motion for Miguel to enter. “Look, I was just-”, I hugged him tight. I'm sure it didn’t seem that way to him but I was so close to breaking down. “It was so hard…being there”, he wrapped his arms around me “I know” he said softly. I quickly pushed away and tried to pull myself together, wiping away any tears and tucking my hair behind my ears “Sorry, um personal space, I shouldn’t have done that” I say trying to smile once again “Um do you want a glass of water or anything?” “No, I’m fine”, “Oh okay, uh come sit” as I led him towards the couch and quickly took the picture I was looking at and hung it back on the wall. After straightening it back up I sat next to Miguel and looked at him for a few seconds before asking “What brings you to Earth-62?” “I was…worried about you”, my eyes widened. I was dumbfounded when I heard that, Miguel wouldn’t even look at me when he said that I could hear his heartbeat like crazy. He planted his face in his hands and sighs “You can hear my heart rate can’t you”, “I can hear it even when it’s not beating out of your chest” I giggle. “I just don’t want you to hurt yourself or get hurt and knowing I could’ve been there to help or protect you in some way”, I couldn’t think of a response, “I hate admitting this but I think I like you”, “Oh!” Now my heart is beating out of my chest, “This was such a stupid idea, I’m never listening to Lyla again” he gets up to leave but I grab his arm sitting him back down “It wasn’t stupid” I say looking him in his eyes. His eyes were one of my favorite features about him, they were unique and like none other that I had seen before. I smile at him and hug him, “So you hate admitting that you like me, what part of me are you so repulsed by exactly?” “Maybe the fact you can’t take anything seriously”, he says, still hugging me “Hmmm, no you love that about me” I chuckle. This was one of the times I wish I could smell, I’m sure Miguel smells lovely, maybe like flowers…everyone loves the scent of flowers don’t they? And if flowers smell good then that’s probably what Miguel smells like. Now that I think about it, what do I smell like? Stop thinking so hard…just enjoy this moment, no getting lost in thought. At least I can feel the warmth he gives off, being in Miguel’s arms felt like how coming home is supposed to feel like. I hug tighter “Please… please don’t leave me” I start to cry, “I can’t take it if you go too.” He pulls me off to look at me, I can’t even look at him, I’m a mess with pent up tears and stress just streaming down my face. Miguel cups my face to look at him “I’m not going anywhere, I’m here to stay okay?” he says wiping away my tears with his thumbs “Please don’t cry”. I nodded my head and sighed at the calming reassurance he gave me, I sat up on my knees to be at level with Miguel and placed my hands on his shoulders and slowly leaned in. As I do I can feel his hand on the side of my face, then I start to feel weird, alarmed, Spider sense! Danger is near but where? 
“What’s wrong?”
“Spider Sense…”
*Knock Knock* *Knock Knock* *Knock*
We both turn out head to the door, that’s how Liam knocks on our door. I walk over to the door hesitantly, is it Liam that poses a threat. No way, the dude is scrawny and a massive nerd. “Who is it?” “Oh! You’re actually home today, it’s Liam. Couldn’t you tell by the knock or have you erased me from your memory”, I hear him laugh. Miguel was positioned next to the door just out of sight but definitely within reach if needed, I took a deep breath and opened the door. My head is throbbing now, I peek out into the hallway looking left and right, nothing. This overwhelming sense…has to be coming from Liam.
“You okay?” he asks in a worried tone 
“Uh yeah, what’s up?” I say trying to appear as calm as possible 
“I was just checking in on you, you haven’t been answering your door or your phone lately and I was just getting worried, how are you?”
“ Sorry about that, my phone…broke and I’ve been working a lot. I’m okay though, you know just going through the motions as best as I can”, that’s believable right?
“Well I’m here if you ever need me”
“Thank you for the kind offer but I’ll be fine” I smile at him, silently studying him, I listen to his heartbeat which only gets faster by the second
“...” he looked as if he was hesitating, contemplating almost, but about what?
“Are you okay” I utter still attempting to keep my composer 
“Look, I’m sorry…” he says as he reaches behind him
I gasp and Miguel quickly steps into sight and holds my shoulder as a comfort, “who’s this?” he questions. Liam lowers his hand back down to his side, it’s gone. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders, I can still see that Miguel is still tense. 
“This is Liam, Liam this is-”  
“Her boyfriend, I’m Miguel” he cuts me off and reaches out to shake his hand 
Liam shakes his hand “...Nice to meet you Miguel” he chuckled nervously 
“What was it you were about to say?”
“Oh yeah, um sorry to bother you but I really need some sugar, I’m trying out this new recipe and didn’t account for how much sugar was needed and ran out”
“Yeah I gotcha, one second” I walked away to go to my cabinet and grabbed what was about half a pound of the sugar, I could see Miguel glaring at Liam as I walk over and hand it to him 
“Thank you” he smiles at me
“No problem, and you can keep it too we need to go to the grocery store anyway”
“Nice seeing you again…and meeting you”
“You too, have a good rest of your night Liam”
He walked away without saying another word, I closed the door and fell to my knees. I started hyperventilating, Miguel kneeled down to comfort me. Why Liam? He was supposed to be my friend, we even hung out from time to time. What was behind his back? A knife, taser, A GUN?! What was his plan…why Liam why, kept going through my head but there was probably no good answer to come from it. I lay down in Miguel’s arms and he sat down with his back against the door, “It’s okay” he told me while he combed his hands through my hair, “I’m here y/n, I’m here.” I’m just glad he was here, who knows what would’ve happened if he wasn’t. At least an hour had passed and we were still in the same position, sitting in silence. I had calmed down after a while, and went radio silent. I didn’t…couldn’t say a word, I mean I could barely think.
“Miguel?”
“Hmm?”
“What do I smell like?”
“Well, I’d have say you smell like vanilla most of the time”
“Is that a good scent to have?”
“It’s a wonderful scent to have” he reassures me
I smile, those words echo throughout my mind as a few more silent moments pass
“Can…you stay the rest of the night?”
“I didn’t have any plans on leaving you alone”
I get up and guide him to my room holding his hand, I get in bed and Miguel follows suit after taking off his hoodie to show just a plain black skin tight shirt. We face each other, looking one another in the eyes. I curl up into his chest and hug him, he hugs me back, I feel safe. He’s the one person I can truly let my guard down with. “Thank you” I tell him, “I’m just glad I was here”, “Me too.”

You can't just give up
a/n: heyyy this is my first time doing this so I hope that it isn’t too bad, I got the idea of how y/n and Miguel met from @angel-eyes05“to leave the warmest bed I’ve ever know”, it’s an amazing story and I absolutely loved it and inspired me to write this 
Pairing: Miguel O'hara x spider!fem
Summary: You lose your brother after fighting yet another villain, you lay on the floor accepting death but Miguel saves you and you get a feel for him once you wake up
Notes: I do appreciate criticism, but please don't be a jerk for no reason. A few mentions of suicide and just a P.S this is most likely gonna get a little spicy if I continue to write this, of course a little fluff to balance it all out :)
Word count: 1,111 (Such a fun number lol)
Okay, I'm done talking, Enjoy :D 
I can’t believe he’s dead, my only and last family member. My head reels as I enter the apartment me and my older brother shared, he had finally achieved his dream of becoming a captain. I stumble through the apartment holding my bloody side, while using my other hand to use a wall or table nearby to support myself. I carefully walk into my room, feeling worse by the second. Noah…he worked so hard for that position, only to DIE TWO FUCKING DAYS LATER. I flew into a rage and knocked everything off my dresser and in the process fell to the ground, sobbing. The night he became official captain I cheered him on, his smile, and his eyes were brighter than I had ever seen them before. I didn’t even bother getting up, I just laid there accepting my fate, curling up into a ball. I can’t live on, I don’t want to be by myself. If I die…so be it. I took a deep exhale letting all my burdens go, I closed my eyes and a tear ran along down my face onto the floor. I thought about my brother who took care of me for as long as I can remember, he was always there for me and took on a parental role that he never asked for but he did it well. I can feel my body going numb and my breathing slowing. I felt the air almost lift up around me, my eyes were too heavy to lift up. Is this how it feels to die? I couldn't feel anything, it was silent.
I woke up in an unknown room. I tried to sit up to take a better look at my surroundings except I couldn’t, it hurt too much. I put my arm over my eyes and sigh. “Oh, so you are alive?” I heard a deep voice, there was a tall, muscular man entering the room and making his way over to me. I try to get up once again wincing in pain “Here let me help you”, he says grabbing my arm to help me sit up. “Thanks”, I say snatching my arm away apprehensively. I guess he noticed my hesitancy towards him, “I’ll save you the whole “spiderman backstory”” he said sitting down, “and just tell you I’m Miguel O’hara”. I looked at him for a second, “I’m not sure which is a more important question, where am I or how did I get here?” “Well you are in a medical room at Spider Society HQ” I take a deep breath, this is so confusing, I mean how did I get here in the first place. I look at Miguel again “And as to how I got here?” He remained silent and looked to the side. I’m not sure if I should trust him but I guess I'll give him a chance before I change my mind. There was silence for about a minute or two while I studied him, he had a strong jaw and very defined features. “You know, you shouldn’t just give up when life gets hard” he scolded me with his head still turned to the side. I scoff and roll my eyes, “Well maybe I had a goo-”, he snapped his head toward me “There is no such thing as a good reason to let yourself die” his eyes softened “…even if you lose everything.” He grabbed my hand and squeezed it, “I know what it’s like to lose someone you love, it’s heart wrenching and traumatizing” a tear drops down from my face and I quickly wipe it away “Is that really what he would’ve wanted?” At first I was angry that he would talk about Noah like he knows him, but then I thought about it and it’s not what he would’ve wanted. Noah would’ve given me his classic pep talks he always gave me, if it was right before a big exam, a performance, or a speech debate. “Never give up, and if you won’t do it for yourself” he looks me in my eyes practically staring into my soul, it is now that I notice his brown eyes have hints of red “do it for your brother and the people that need you, whether it’s now or in the future.” I look into his brown-reddish eyes, I’ve only known this guy for 30 minutes so why do I feel so connected to him right now. Like we share the same pain, I could feel us getting closer and closer, he radiates warmth. 
*Knock Knock Knock*
We turned to the door, “Miguel, you in there?” He let go of my hand and cleared his voice while standing up “Come in Peter”, a guy with a 12 o’clock shadow and a pretty big gut enters the room. “Hey, I’ve been looking for you-” he leans over to see around Miguel’s body to look at me, he waves and moves back to his original poster. I can hear him whisper “who’s that?” Miguel looks behind him at me, I give him a half smile. He leads Peter outside and closes the door behind him.
“Sooo who is she?”
“It’s a long story but I think she’d some good with us, and I don’t think it’d be a safe bet to leave her alone”
“Is she joining the society?”
“Are you against it?” It sounded like he was getting defensive 
“I mean not exactly, the more the merrier”
“Okay then, I’ll bring it up to the others and I’ll see if she’ll accept the offer”
“She seems like the head strong type, you really think she’s gonna go for it?”
“...let’s hope so”
Hmm a Secret Society, how interesting. Miguel enters the room and sits back down next to me. 
“Sorry about him he-”
“Is he in this secret society of yours?”
“Huh?” he seemed taken aback “How?”
“Every spiderman has their strengths, I just happen to have heightened senses, specifically hearing and sight. Although you also have to pay with something” I chuckle
“And what’s that?”
“I have no sense of smell, I will never get to experience what it’s like to smell a freshly baked apple pie” I sigh pretending to be sad
“You don’t seem too sad about it”
“Well that’s the thing, you can’t truly miss something you’ve never had, I mean for all I know I could hate the smell of apples” I smile at him
He just looked at me, not in disgust but in almost awe 
“Now tell me more about this secret society of yours” 
“It’s a lot”
“It’ll distract me from the pain” I say fanning myself “Woe is me”
