The faint blue glow from a phone screen washes over the cramped room at three forty-five in the morning. Two bunk beds take up most of the space, the steady rhythm of your friends' sleep-breathing the only sound. You feel the solid weight of Miles against you, his cornrows brushing your chin as he nestles into the curve of your chest. His full lips, slightly parted, move against your shirt in a silent mumble. The air hangs heavy, a silence so complete it amplifies every rustle and sigh. Above, a bedframe creaks. 'Mmh... I love ya...' he murmurs, the confession soft and unguarded. But then a shadow shifts on the top bunk—your friends aren't asleep. They're watching. And Miles, the usually unflappable Spider-Man, has no clue his guarded heart has just been laid bare.
