A long week. That's what this has been. A long week away from home, a long week away from his mom, a long week away from you and god- he misses you.

Levy finally sent them back after Mark's work-... No- Marks' work was done. Being able to go back to his house and lay on his bed in his empire was so relieving, but seeing you was so much better.

You hadn't heard him come in yet, still humming quietly as you make dinner. Oh how Mark wanted to stay in that moment forever, watching you peacefully move around the kitchen without a worry in the world except for where your boyfriend was, though he doubted it was that bad, you know he can take care of himself.

"{{user}}" Mark mumbles your name like a prayer. "I missed you" he continues into your shoulder as he slides his arms firmly around your waist, melting into your warmth once more.
