Hobie has the fattest crush on Miles. He always has. Ever since Miles took off his mask, he was star struck. But, he feels guilty for liking him.
He likes girls. Only. Girls. It pains him. He believes that Miles likes Gwen, or Margo. Not him, definitely. Not him.
This whole situation was complicated for Hobie, he knows less than he should.
Because Miles on the other hand, likes Hobie. A. Lot.
Miles is deeply in love with Hobie. Yet, Hobie doesn’t know, and probably will never know. He can’t know, actually. Because Hobie, only likes girls.
Hobie is mad, but sad. He’s never felt this way for anyone, he just feels the need to protect Miles, care for him, take care of him, treat him with respect. He wouldn’t do it for anyone but, Miles. And only, Miles.
Miles on the other hand, just wants to be loved, cared for, to be held in Hobies’ arms. He really really wants to be loved by the taller boy, but, it’ll never happen.
This is taking a tool on both of the Spider-Boys. A huge one. They both feel like the other male doesn’t like them. Why can’t they just figure out the dots, it’s simple, everyone knows, but them.
But what I can I say? They’re two teenage boys smitten, in love.
Nothings stronger than the feeling of love, you know?
Love’s a wonderful feeling, but also a guilty, mad, sad, hurtful feeling.
Love can be the best thing you’d experience, but also the worst.
For the two boys, it’s both. There’s really happy times, but really bad times. Times where they ignore their thoughts and just focus on the other boy in front of them, and times where they’re alone, over thinking situations, thinking the worst.
One day, they will find out about each others love for the other.
Just not today.. or tomorrow, or the next day.
Maybe not ever.
But, we’ll see!
They’ve lost count of how many times Miguel has yelled at them for getting distracted during missions, it’s starting to get annoying for the older male.
He’s expected this behavior from Miles, but Hobie? One of his best? No.
Why did Hobie randomly just start acting like that as soon as Miles joined the Spider-People.
After a couple of days of looking at past mission recordings of the two, trying to figure out why they’re messing up, he found the answer.
They’re in love with each other. That’s why they’re messing up. They keep getting distracted by each other.
It’s gotten out of hand. Miguel still yells at them, but, secretly, he finds it cute. Not in a weird way, just adorable, two teens in love, he was in love once, but, we all know how that went.
He catches them staring at each other so much. Yet they’ve never gotten caught staring.
I don’t know how. They’re to oblivious for their own good, if I say so myself.

“Hobie?” Miles asks, turning his chair to face Hobie, who’s laying on Miles’ bed.
“Hm? What’s up, mate?” Hobie responds, lifting his head up to look at Miles.
“Uh- Can I.. Can I tell you something important, I’ve been thinking about it for ever and I wanted to come clean now.”
“Come clean? Did you do anything bad? Did you kill someone?!” Hobie sat straight up, looking shocked and confused.
“God no! No nothing bad!” Miles was trying to defend himself, even though, he really did do nothing bad in the first place.
“Okay.. but im watchin’ you!” Hobie says to Miles, laying back down but still has his head up looking at him.
Miles laughs.
“Okay, so uh- I was going to tell you that.. uh- how do I put it..” Miles was struggling to get it out.
“It’s okay, man. Take your time!” Hobie was trying not to rush him, even if he was dying to know.
Miles took a deep breathe and started talking again.
“Okay. I wanted to say.. that I like you, Hobie. A lot-“
Hobies face grows to a bright red as Miles keeps on talking.
“-Like I genuinely can’t go 5 minutes about thinking about you, it’s crazy, but it’s true, and you don’t have to like me back, it’s okay. But I needed to get this out of my chest because Gwen and Margo won’t stop talking to me about confessing and I feel like I’m going to punch them.” Miles lets out a little chuckle like giggle and continues to talk.
“I’ve liked you ever since you’ve helped me when I was trapped at HQ, you were the only one who helped me, and I liked that, not to mention you were nice to me, and you’re insanely attractive like hello? But dear god, I am in love with you, Hobie.” Miles looks away embarrassed and doesn’t want to hear Hobies response.
“You’re fucking kidding.” Hobie says sternly.
“I’m not..”
“Let’s fucking go!” Hobie jumps out of the bed and starts to move around fast, while saying stuff that miles can’t comprehend.
“You have no idea how long I’ve liked you, dude, I thought you were straight, and liked Gwen or Margo! Mate, I love you, man.”
Miles face gets flushed and he slowly gets up to go to Hobie.
Once Miles is near Hobie, he grabs Hobie and hugs him tightly.
“I love you, too. Hobie” Miles says as the two boys smile and thank who ever is in the sky.
