"miguel doesnt want me talking to you." the text that the lego version of miguel received that broke his heart. of course miguel didnt want peter talking to him. he decided to play it safe and acted unaffected by the news.
"alright"
"im sorry, bye"
"im sorry, too."
and then peter blocked him. he needed to talk to him. he could do better than how the human version of him treated peter, he just knew he could.
then, he knew just what to do. he created a portal to peters dimension. he knew peter was there.
"miguel?" peter said, shocked to see him.
"peter--listen!"
"no, i cant do this. miguel doesn't want me talking to you."
"miguel this, miguel that, what about what *you* want?"
"oh.. fine. miguel cant know about this, though."
"promise. i wont tell him a thing."
peter sighed and sat down, he looked confused. miguel went to sit down next to him, he was concerned for whatever was wrong with him.
"you alright, peter?" miguel finally asked after a few moments of silence. peter didnt reply, he just looked away and buried his face in his hands.
"hey--peter? are.. are you okay?" miguel asked again, placing a hand on the others' shoulder. peter moved his hands from his face, looking at miguel.
"im alright. its just.." he finally spoke, sighing again after speaking. "i don't know what i want anymore." he said after a few seconds of silence.
"well, what do you mean? .. like uh--whatre you confused you dont want anymore.. whatre your options?"
"you or miguel--your human self i guess. i dunno which one of you i should be with. it feels like we're a good match, but then so are your human self and i." peter finally confessed, relieved he got it out.
"if im being honest, you guys *arent* a good match. you can ask anyone else, man. miguel is cruel, rude, and extremely annoying. youre like--the opposite! ask anyone else, theyd agree."
"no! you dont--.. you dont see what hes like when we're alone."
"you always say that." miguel chuckled.
"i dunno how else to defend him!"
"then don't defend him." miguel put his hand on peters cheek, smiling at him.
"how do i not defend him? hes my boyfriend afterall. besides, he'd defend me!" peter looked away, a slight blush crossing his face.
"you don't need defending, peter. you're not the asshole who chased down and attempted to murder a 15 year old."
"well.. still! if someone were to talk about me negatively, miguel would defend me. I wanna defend him, too." miguel didnt reply, he just hugged peter.
"i love you, peter."
"i love you too, miguel."
the two sat in silence, then after a long moment of silence, peters phone rang. it was (human) miguel.
"oh--fuck miguel is calling." peter mumbled, grabbing his phone.
"oh.. uh.. ill stay quiet."
"okay, okay, thanks." peter answered the phone.
"hellooo?"
"peter, where are you?"
"I'm.. in my dimension. i just got back from helping some civilians from a bad guy"
"oh. good job, peter. you're one of our bests." peter smiled.
"thank you, miguel."
"dont mention it, seriously."
peter sat in silence for a few seconds, thinking of something to say. "i love you, miguel."
"you, too." miguel said, hanging up. peter sighed and put his phone down. miguel shifted closer to peter, wrapping his arms around the other.
"i wish you could end our calls with saying 'i love you.'"
miguel said, trying to loosen peter up.
"shut uppp, you cant flirt with people who have boyfriends, dummy." he laughed.
"youre the only person with a boyfriend that i flirt with.
.. or person in general."
"oh, that's sweet." peter said, smiling.
"you're sweet." miguel responded, kissing his forehead. peter didnt say anything, he just stared at miguel in silence and in shock.
"peter, i am so sorry, holy shit."
"you.. should go."
".. alright. bye, peter."
"goodbye, miguel." peter said while miguel opened a portal.
peter stared at miguel for a few more seconds, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. miguel smiled at peter as he left back to his dimension.
