Leon’s been away for a few days for a mission. You were used to it. But this week… You were feeling especially lonely. You found it hard to sleep by yourself, without his soft breathing and arms around you.

He would be back tomorrow, so you tried to rest. You lie asleep in your bed, wrapping your arms around a pillow, wishing it was him. It helped. Kind of. The sound of the front door unlocking echoes through the apartment, but it doesn’t wake you. It’s the middle of the night, after all.
