Heard you wanted more <3, so here's Prowler Hobie x Miles [4] !!

New here? Here's the Recap: Welcome to the alternate universe where when Miles is swinging around in his hometown of Earth-1610B, he finds a new Prowler in town that is a variant of Hobie Brown. As Miles tries to decide if he's a friend or a foe, he sees him double time when he finds out he's at Brooklyn Visions Academy also. As the two eventually trade secrets and juggle their dual identities in New York, they get closer and develop feelings (while Ganke is calling them both dorks)

School Lunch

[Miles is sitting across from Hobs at the lunch table. Hobs is putting his dreads in a ponytail while Miles eats his sandwich]

[Miles eats away and looks at how long Hobs' dreads are and then he absent-mindedly trails his eyes over Hobs' face. Hobs' catches him staring before Miles quickly looks away…then looks back at him. Hobs is smirking at him]

Hobs: You must really like looking at my face huh?

Miles (finishes his last bite): I mean…what's not to like?

[Hobs' eyebrows raise slightly, he was expecting him to deflect so he could tease him…not outright admit it]

Hobs (laughs nervously): Hahah you play too much man

Miles (feeling bold): Nah, I know how to admit it when someone looks good. I should know…I look good myself

Hobs (grins big and chuckles): Hahahah okayyy Miles you're funny but I'm giving you props for that one, you got me

[Miles laughs to himself, see? Hobs isn't the only one that can flirt-tease]

Hobs: -And you do…

Miles (smiling): Huh?

Hobs (smiles): You do look good

[Hobs with a satisfied smirk steals a fry off of Miles' tray, while Miles looks away with a shy smile]

Miles (notices): Hey!

[Miles steals a chicken nugget off of Hobs' tray, and Hobs laughs and lets him]

Hobs (smiling): Gotta keep your eyes on the prize…Gonzalo

Miles (smirking): Pffft, whatever…Larry

[They both laugh, then the bell rings]

Copy-Cat Complex

[Miles and Hobs, suited up during the day and standing on the roof of a high building]

Hobs: Hey Miles…I have a question but I want you to be real with me

Miles (turning to him): Okay…shoot

Hobs (retracting his mask): When you look at me, do you see Hobs or do you see Hobie?

[Miles is silent for a moment before he takes off his mask to look up at Hobs with a genuine expression]

Miles: When we first met I used to…but then I got to know you. You're not Hobie, you're you, and I like you man. You don't have to compare yourself to nobody else, and I'm glad I met you when I did. You're cool, smart, funny, real with me, and whether we're swinging across New York or trying do some last minute homework assignment, I ain't worried about it…Because I know you get me

[Hobs is silent for a moment, surprised before he looks down at the ground and smiles. He then puts a hand over his face and honest to God chuckles with a wide smile, before he walks up to Miles and places a hand on his shoulder]

Hobs (smiling wide): You can't just be saying stuff like that, at least take me to dinner first

Miles (rolls his eyes and laughs): Oh Pleaseee!

Hobs (chuckles): …But for real though, thanks Miles

Miles (smiles): Anytime, Hobs

Let Him Cook

[Miles on the phone with Pavitr]

Pavitr: It sounds like you have a massive crush on him. I should know, I'm really good at reading people.

Miles: Yeah I'm not gonna even lie to you, I do…and he's supposed to be coming over today to help me and mami cook for her party on Wednesday

Pavitr: Oooo that sounds fun, and very romantic. I cook for Gayu all the time and she loves it…I hope Hobs is a better cook than Hobie is-

Miles (sitting up): What do you mean?

Pavitr: One time I invited Hobie over to cook some vada pav and told him to fry it and watch the stove while I helped Maya Auntie with chores, and when I came back downstairs he was cursing and trying to extinguish the burning pan flames by pouring water into the oil

Miles (shaking his head): Woww yeah that sounds about right

Pavitr: Bro we had to get a new pan and everything!…anyways let's hope that your Hobs is a better cook

Miles (smiling nervously): Hahah yeah…I hope so too

[Later, Rio opens the front door after someone knocks]

Hobs (with a smile): Hey Mrs. Morales, I'm here to help y'all with the food

Rio (smiling and ushering him in): Hobs! Glad to have you, come on inside. Miles stepped out for moment and I'm helping Jeff to smoke some meat outside on the rooftop, but I did start preparing a few things in the kitchen whenever you're ready to jump in

Hobs (setting his bag down): Sure thing, just let me know how I can help

Rio (waving him over): Splendid! Come on over…see I started preparing the ingredients for the mofongo over here on the counter, you can start by slicing up the plantains and then fry them in that pan with oil that's warming on the stove. Sound like a plan boss?

Hobs (nodding and heading over to the cutting board): Sounds like a plan Mrs. M, I'll get choppin'

Rio (smiling, then heading to the rooftop): Thank you so much Hobs, I'll be back down soon

[The door closes and Hobs proceeds to slice the plantains and slide them into the pan to fry, secretly eating a slice himself, then he waits]

Hobs (thinking to himself): 'Yeah this is gonna take a minute, lemme pull out my phone'

[Hobs scrolls on his phone for a minute, occasionally checking the pan and flipping the plantains with a spatula before he gets absorbed in a toktak video in high quality of himself suited up in Prowler gear with his mask on with the caption 'we found out who it is']

Hobs (going to sit on the couch): Oh no…

[Hobs watches the 11 minute video of filler and bait, seeing if there was any face reveal before he reaches the end of the video and breathes a sigh of relief. It's just a picture of Jayden Smiths]

[Miles then enters through the front door and smiles when he sees Hobs before walking over and sitting next to him on the couch]

Miles: Ayy Hobs, what's cooking?

Hobs: Hah, just helping your mom with her plantains…should be like a minute or two

[Miles looks past him at the pan from where he sits, and then nods before looking back at him and relaxing in the cushions]

Miles: Cool, so what are you watching?

Hobs (offering his phone): Was watching this video someone took of me in the Prowler suit. Thought they had figured out my identity but they said it was Jayden Smiths at the end, took me out for real

[Miles takes it as their fingers brush, and scoots closer to Hobs before playing the video]

Miles (laughing): Wow that was crazy, that suspenseful music really sold it though

Hobs (grinning): Hahah Jayden wishes he could be me

Miles (hands him the phone back): I bet he does

Hobs (looks towards the window for a moment): For real though…I knew it was probably fake but they had me in the first half not gonna lie

[Miles looks up at him, then down at Hobs' free hand before Miles not-so-casually reaches out and holds it in his own. Hobs looks down at their hands, then back at Miles]

Miles: Well if anyone does find out who you are, don't worry about it…I got you. After all, I'm Spider-Man

[Hobs pauses as he looks all around Miles' face before he trails his eyes over his freckled cheeks…and gets caught in his eyes]

[Hobs then gently squeezes back Miles' hand in his]

Hobs (looking down at him): Thanks Miles…

Miles (looking up at him): Anytime Hobs…

Hobs (leaning closer to him slowly): ….You know you're playing with fire, right?

Miles (inching closer to him slowly): That's okay…I'm not afraid to get-

[And right on cue, flames of disaster rise as the frying pan lights on fire]

Miles (shocked): -Burned! Dios mío!

Hobs (getting up immediately): Oh Nahhh, Rio is gonna kill us

Miles (rushing to the kitchen): Quick, Help me take it out!

[The two rush to the kitchen and Hobs turns the stove knob to OFF and Miles grabs the flaming pan as he decides whether to throw it outside, in the sink, or cover it when Rio comes through the front door and turns the corner to see the scene in front of her with wide eyes]

Rio (wide eyed): Miles- Oh my God mijo what is happening!? Put that down and cover it up!!

Miles (smiling sheepishly): Yes mami!

[Miles puts it back on the stove on a different spot before Hobs grabs a pan lid and quickly covers the pan completely before jumping back from it to stand next to Miles. Miles holds his hand again…for solidarity this time]

Rio (walking up to them): Boys are you okay? Any burns anywhere?

Hobs & Miles (at the same time): No we're okay

Rio (sighs): Good…now who wants to tell me what you were both doing to let the plantains burn like this???

[They look at each other and back at Rio]

Miles: Well you see…uhhh visual learning is an amazing thing, and video entertainment has come very far in the last 50 years

Hobs: Yeah…we're definitely cooked
