MILES WAS IN THE THEATRE ROOM AFTERSCHOOL HOURS TO PAINT PROPS FOR THE MUSICALS. he was unaware that one of the days he was there to paint, they swapped their meet spot last minute due to the schools choir practicing for their concert.
that let miles to forgetting some stuff in the theatre room and having to sneak backstage to grab them.
while doing so, he hears the choir do one of their songs, although he expected a group singing he heard one voice. you.
assuming it was a solo, miles peeked past the curtains to see only you. supposed the choir practice was over or was gonna happen soon.
but that didn’t stop him from staying for a moment to listen to your voice, you were singing a song from that one girl.. what’s her name? billie eilish? that didn’t matter to miles in the moment because he was only fixated on you.
moving closer, he accidentally stepped on one of the creakiest floorboards making a sound. when he saw you look back he knew he had no choice but to show himself.
“hi?” you spoke. your regular speaking voice seemed as angelic as your singing voice making miles want to only hear you forever.
“hey.. uh sorry about that. I’m helping the drama club paint props for the show and forgot some of my stuff here and I saw you and your singing is really good..” Miles spoke then slowed down realizing he was just blabbing.
“oh that’s alright, I’m just practicing. our practice was over 30 minutes ago so you can tell whoever’s in your group that they can come back.” you said grabbing your bag before miles stopped you.
“wait no- I mean, it’s fine they can suffer in the art room for the rest of the day. take your time you sound really good.” miles says.
“oh thank you, I’m y/n by the way. what’s your name?” you said finally approaching him to close the gap between you guys that echoed throughout the auditorium.
“Miles..” He said, then letting the conversation fall to an awkward yet soothing silence.
“Well you should get back to your art club.. right?” you said, although it was disappointing to see him go. the moment was awkward.
“oh.. oh yea I’m sorry I forgot. nice too meet you though.” Miles said grabbing the stuff he needed.
“you too.” You spoke.
After that day, Miles slid his way into your life much more.
he would always enjoy reading the songs you write, letting you rant about how you want to do other stuff in life but you secretly want to be a singer, or just sit in silence while you write and he draws.
he would always love when he catches you while you’re singing, you think your singing is alright but he thinks it’s the best thing ever.
for you, hanging around him more made you feel more confident. He convinced you to sing for school talent shows and ask for more solos in your choir. He even convinced you to audition for another competitive singing group, which you got in to.
as the days went on, your notebook of songs slowly turned from friendship songs to love songs. although you didn’t realize it— it was very noticeable.
you wrote the majority of your songs about miles, he was one of the only genuine friends in your life.
when miles goes through your notebook, he sees these songs and always thinks about who it’s for, he gains jealousy knowing you feel such way about someone but he had no other choice but to be happy for you.
until he found out.
one day, you invite miles to your dorm to hang out and do nothing. your roommate went out with her friends before curfew so it gave you some alone time.
you were typing something on a random document on your laptop, which was strange because you usually wrote things. that made miles confused
“whatcha doing?” he says.
“typing.. something” you say. he didn’t need to know the definition to know what that “something” is.
“lay it on me.” miles speaks looking at you.
you chuckle and sit up. placing your laptop next to you, you began to sing the lyrics out loud.
“I DONT WANT IT, AND I DONT WANT TO WANT YOU.” the lyrics flew off your tongue angelically
“BUT IN MY DREAMS I SEEM MORE HONEST.” you sing getting slightly embarrassed for the next part
“AND I MUST ADMIT, YOUVE BEEN IN QUITE A FEW” those words peaked miles interest. which made him pay more attention as you sang.
“it’s going wel-“ miles says before you put your finger on his lip, shushing him.
“HALLEYS COMET, COMES AROUND MORE THEN I DO.”
“BUT YOURE ALL IT TAKES FOR ME TO BREAK A PROMISE, SILLY ME TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU.” you finish singing.
“wow.” miles says starstruck.
“who is it about?”
you freeze. you actually knew he would say that but didn’t know exactly how to answer.
“well.. it’s about you.” you said, fiddling with your fingers which was a habit when you were nervous.
miles cheeks became red, he didn’t know what to say. he felt the same about you and wanted you to know that but the words couldn’t escape his mouth.
so, he takes his sketchbook out his bag and hands it to you. the thing was, this notebook was dedicated to you.
you looked at him confused. then start to skim through the pages and seen lots and I mean lots of you. every single page.
it’s like he payed extra attention, the three freckles on your left cheek, your beauty mark, your nose shape, he knew you all too well.
“it’s something I was meaning to show you..” Miles finally spoke up.
“it’s beautiful..” you say looking at him.
“and i thought i was good at hiding how i felt, how have a whole sketchbook about me.” you say not fully aware of what you actually said.
“can i know what those feelings are?” miles says.
“isn’t it obvious?” you chuckle. that laugh that always had miles wrapped around your fingers.
“yea y/n, but it’s better if I hear it.” miles said gently grabbing your hand and putting it in his.
“you know.” you said flustered.
Miles chuckles at your flustered state, then his look became softened and a bit serious.
“this is something I wanted for a long time..”
“can I please court you?” miles said.
you smile nodding, then resting your head on his shoulder.
I love the hmhas tour (bro it would be so cool if they record the concert for a movie documentary type like what they did with hte . (or if your a swiftie , like the eras tour on Disney + ))
