The thing about a five person friend group is that inevitably, one person would get left out no matter what. And unfortunately, you're the one who got left out this time.
It's not like your friends doesn't care about you, but Miguel instructions was clear. 'Pair up.'
Hobie— bless him, was quick to object. "We're group of five." He said as he lean his weight on Miles.
Miguel being the jackass he is just shrugged his shoulder lazily and said. "I see four."
Now it's not like it's your fault that you live in different time zone from the others. You can't just leave in the middle of a final quiz, that's practically suicide. You scowled at the thought of your friends who was in the middle of the night when they got called.
The others tried to persuade Miguel to at least let them go with two person and three person position so no one got left out, but dude is stubborn as hell.
So here you are, facing Miguel after being late for nearly 40 minutes while the others already jump to whatever universe they assigned to.
"If you want to tag along you gonna have to follow my rules." That was the first thing he said to you, he didn't bother to look up, too busy fiddling with his watch.
"Rules? Wha—"
An orange portal came up and he look up to you. "— it's simple. Do what I says and don't mess up anything, understand?" His mask cover his face in swift motion and he quick to jump onto the portal, leaving you no room for disagree.
It was, in fact, hard to not mess a thing or two because what the fuck? First of all the anomaly was an absolute menace and second why do bad guys have a difficult power like teleporting?
It's safe to say Miguel is pissed— no, furious at you. He had to jump in front of you more than once to protect you from surprise attack. Miguel was dragging you while screaming at you by the time your mission finished.
Miguel is big compared to you, that's the first thing that popped up on your head after he sat you down and proceed to stand in front of you with one hand on his hips and the others rubbing his face harshly. You can feel his frustration radiating off of his body.
You feel bad because you know his body got hit several times because of your incompetent.
Miguel didn't say anything for a while and it's making you really nervous. Now that the adrenaline is wear off you could feel your body ache and your wounds sting, it doesn't help that the guilt came crashing like a bitch and you're really anxious.
You start to apologies with small voice, worry he would snap at you again. "Miguel, I'm so sorry. I promise I would train more hard after this, I-I'm just so sorry that I was being no use earlier and it would never happen again."
He scoffed. "You're sorry huh?" Leaning his body to you, he began to push your body against the wall by your shoulder with only his point finger.
"Do you have any idea what possibly could go wrong because of your act earlier?" His face was so close that you back down until your head hit the wall with a small thump.
You swallow back a sob and hold your tears as hard as you can, not wanting to pissed him more.
His right hand was fast to find your jaw and hold it hard. "Answer me!" He snapped, his teeth gritted.
And with that, your wall crumbles and your tears falls without warning. "I'm so sorry I didn't mea—"
Miguel lips pressed onto yours, his left hand grip the back of your neck so tight that it hurts while his right hand hold your face. He kissed you hard, with teeth and tongue press heavily on yours.
Your lips was red and slick by the time he parted, putting his head on your right shoulder he sighed heavily. "Don't do that, I can't loose you." His voice muffled by how hard he pressed his face down.
Miguel pressed hot kisses; on your temple, your cheeks, your jaw, and then lingered on your lips for a while before burying his face on your hair.
