Pairing - Miles Fairchild x Fem! Reader
Contents - You and Miles get in an argument, and he knows just how to make it up to you.
Warnings - Angst, making out, dry humping
A/n- this is my first time posting on tumblr. It’s also my first time writing smut, so please tell me how I did!
Tonight, it starts like most of your arguments do. Small.
You're sitting in the living room, homework spread across the coffee table, when he walks in and makes a comment. Something sarcastic. Something unnecessary.
"You're still working on that? He says, glancing down. "It's not even hard."
You look up at him, already tired. "I didn't ask for commentary."
He rolls his eyes. "I'm just saying."
"That's the problem," you reply. "You're always just saying things that hurt."
He freezes, then scoffs. "You're being dramatic."
That word snaps something in you. "I'm not dramatic," you say, standing up. "You're just rude sometimes, and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't bother me."
Miles' jaw tightens. You recognize the look immediately—the one he gets when he feels cornered. His shoulders tense, like he's bracing for impact instead of listening.
"Why do you always turn everything into a fight?" He snaps.
Your chest tightens. "I'm not turning it into anything. I'm telling you how you make me feel."
"Well, maybe you're too sensitive." He fires back.
The silence that follows is heavy, pressing down on both of you. You can tell for a split second, that he regrets it. His mouth opens, like he might take it back.
But Miles has never been good at backing down. "Whatever," he mutters instead. "I don't have time for this."
He turns and storms out, his footsteps echoing down the hall before a door slams somewhere far away. The sound reverberates through the mansion, sharp and final.
You stand there for a moment, stunned, before sinking back into the couch. Your throat burns, but you refuse to cry. Not here. Not over this.
Eventually, you retreat to your room and close the door, leaning against it like it might keep everything else out. The mansion feels too quiet now. Too empty.
Minutes pass. Then an hour.
You replay the argument in your head, wondering if you pushed too hard, if you should've chosen your words differently. living with Miles means constantly walking the line between honesty and explosion.
You're lying in your bed when you hear it—soft footsteps outside your door.
It's quiet. Careful. Nothing like the way he slammed doors earlier.
The door opens slowly anyway, and in Miles steps inside like he's afraid you might vanish if he moves too fast. He looks different now—no sharp edges, no arrogance. Just tired. Guilty.
You turn your head but don't sit up.
He closes the door behind him and stands there for a moment, clearly unsure of what to do with himself. Then he walks closer and sits on the edge of your bed, hands resting on his knees. "I shouldn't have said that," he admits. "Any of it."
"I get mean when I'm angry," he continues, voice low. "And I hate that about myself. I hate that I do that to you."
That gets your attention.
He glances at you, eyes searching your face. "I didn't mean to walk out. I just... didn't trust myself not to say something worse." He reaches for your hand, but hesitates halfway. When you don't pull away, he laces his fingers through yours, holding on like it steadies him. "I hate when we fight."
"I just want you to be nicer to me," you say quietly. "I don't like to feel small."
Before you can say anything else, he shifts closer, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you into him. It's not smooth or confident—it's needy. Clingy. "I'm sorry," he murmurs into your shoulder. "I really am."
He doesn't let go right away. His arms stay firm around you, his head tucked against yours, breathing, steadying as if he needs the contact to calm down.
"I'll do better," he says. "I promise. I don't want to be the person who hurts you."
You relax into him, resting your forehead against his shoulder. "Just talk to me next time. Don't shut me out."
He nods. "I will," he says while peppering kisses on your neck.
Immediately you feel a change in him—as if a switch went off.
“Let me make it up to you.” He whispers not even backing up an inch from your neck.
“Miles-” you try to protest.
“Shhh,” he shushes. “I got you.”
With that, he attaches his lips to yours in a slow but deep kiss.
You know you shouldn’t forgive him so fast, but you can’t help it. It’s like your body is working separate from your brain. You can’t help but give in to the way he holds you.
It quickly becomes heated. You eagerly kiss him back, tangling your hands in his unruly hair.
You gasp when he grabs ahold of your waist and swiftly pulls you unto his lab, making you straddle him. You pull away from his lips, looking down at him. This position gives you the perfect view. His pupils dilated, lips pink and swollen, and his cheeks ever so slightly flushed.
He brings your head back down, capturing your lips with his. One of his hands is placed at the small of your back, rubbing sweet circles with his thumb, while the other is gripping at your hip.
You move slightly to get more comfortable, which makes him let out a low groan. This gives you the opportunity to slip your tongue into his mouth, that he excepts graciously.
You can already feel him under you, so you move, desperate to hear his beautiful sounds again.
You kiss him even harder, swallowing every grunt he makes. Each one sending a bolt of desire straight to your core.
Miles moves his lips to your neck, leaving a trail of pretty purple spots—that you will scold him for in the morning—swiping his tongue over each one.
You can tell he’s close by how desperate he’s getting. Each kiss is deeper, every rock of his hips are harder, and his sounds are louder.
Suddenly, his hips sputter and his head falls forward into the crook of your neck, and a gasp followed by—what can only be described as a whine—falls from his lips.
“Fuck,” he mutters, muffled by your neck.
“Miles, did you just come?” You ask teasing, but you already know the answer.
“Shut up.” He says, but there is no harm behind his words, just embarrassment.
“And I thought you were supposed to be making it up to me.”
He finally lifts his head up. “You think I’m done?”
