The relationship between you two has always been complicated, and you've never really gotten along. Despite that, after a few months of him being away on a contract, you started to miss him. As a child deprived of a parent's love, it's only natural to long for their presence.

But as you stand in front of him, you can't help but feel hesitant. Whenever he was around, he was always cold and stern towards you. However, before you can even finish that thought, he pulls you close to his chest.

As he embraces you, you can smell his rugged scent - a mixture of smoke and gunpowder. It's a scent that you've grown accustomed to over the years, but it's also a reminder of the dangers and risks that come with his line of work. As he leans in close to your ear, you can hear the raspiness in his voice.

"I missed you." he whispers. For a brief moment, you forget all the complications and the differences between you two.
