Everything That You've Come To Expect (Milex au)

Chapter 4; The Element Of Surprise

{ Alex's POV }

I woke up curled up on top on Miles.

Fear shot through me and I quickly stood up trying to get away from the sleeping man.

He whined in protest and curled up as he tugged the blankets closer around him.

My breathing became shaky as I ran to the bathroom.

Did Miles wake up in the middle of the night and see me cuddling with him?

Was he upset?

Was he confused?

I closed the bathroom door behind me and splashed freezing water on my face.

Calm down Alex calm down.

Everything will be fine.

I heard some commotion and then a voice sounded by the door.

"Al?" Miles called out.

"Yeah, mate?" I replied trying to hide my nerves.

"Ye' alright?" he called. "How ye' feeling?"

"Yeah, fine. Much better." I said quickly just wanting him to go away.

After drying my face I made my way out of the bathroom and started towards the kitchen.

I quickly grabbed some random junk food from the cabinet and dug into it.

It was stale but it definitely satsfied my hunger.

I pushed my hand into the bottom of the bag pulling up crumbs in my hand.

I scrunched my nose up and sadly threw the bag away as nothing was left.

My heart did a little nervous flutter as I made my way over to Miles.

I sat on a sofa and watched him for a second before saying, "Hey Mi, um, do you wanna go out for food?"

Miles looked up at me and a blush crept up on my
cheeks despite my effort to stay calm.

As I stared, hoping that he didn't notice my blush, what I did notice was how the corners of his mouth turned up a bit.

The way they did when a thoughtful smile was in the works on his face.

"D'you plan on going out like that?" He asked, almost laughing.

I looked back down at my fairly bare chest, and sweat pants.

"Eh, well, no? Unless you want me to?" I said, raising my eyebrows and pushing my chest out a bit.

My eyes were wide in attention and a large smile found its way on my face as I saw him begin to blush.

"Go get dressed, ya git. Then we'll get food." He responded, looking away with a chuckle.

I nodded with a blush still painting my cheeks as I got up and made my way back to my room.

I pulled out some random jeans and a shirt pulling  my old leather jacket on over my arms.

After tugging my shoes on I made my way downstairs.

"C'mon princess I'm starving," I said in a teasing tone.

He scowled at me.

"Look who's talkin sleeping beauty," he chuckled out, a smirk playing on my lips.

I blushed darker and grumbled, "C'mon let's just go."

"Alright, alright!" He said getting up, rolling his R's as his overdramatic personality made him do sometimes.
