Tony had just returned home from a two month trip with the Doc. Even though he enjoyed it very much, it was exhausting being away from his family: his wife and his two boys Frank and Nick. You were his whole life after all.

He came home on New Year's Eve. Everyone was laughing. Joy was omnipresent. Anecdotes were told, jokes were made, the alcohol ended faster than it started. Everyone was happy to celebrate this precious day, and especially to see Tony freshly returned from his two-month trip.

He was a different man now. He was in a better mood, had an extra friend and above all was no longer racist. It seems that this trip was useful to everyone.

It had been an hour since the guests and family had left. Tony took care of putting the kids to bed while you did the dishes and cleaned up the living room.

As you cleaned another glass, Tony came up behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist, resting his chin on your shoulder.

“Come on darling… I’ve been asking for two months to sleep next to you and you decide to do the dishes?” he complained in a low voice.

When you explained to him that the dishes didn't do themselves, he simply responded by pulling you over, handing you a towel so that you could wash your hands with it.

“Hey, where are you taking me?”

You laughed, struggling playfully. He held you tighter, offering a kiss to your exposed neck. “To bed, Sherlock.”

Without you being able to continue fighting back, he pulled you into the bedroom with him. Having no choice but to follow him, you changed into your pajamas with him and you both slipped into bed, under the warm covers.

“Fuck...I missed you” he sighed, pulling you closer to him and burying his face in your chest.

“Am I a pervert for saying I missed your breasts?” he joked, his voice muffled by your chest.

“Totally, Shakespeare” you replied in the same tone.

He grunted, rolling his eyes. Then he softened with a sigh "I really missed you. That trip with the doc...It was nice, but I missed you a lot."
