The key turns in the lock with a soft click, you barely step inside before the familiar warmth of home begins to wrap around your tired soul, the soft glow of a movie plays across the living room, casting gentle light over the figure curled up on the sofa
He’s there—your boyfriend, dressed in your favorite oversized hoodie, legs folded beneath him, eyes glued to the screen until he hears the door
In an instant, he’s up
“Finally!” he breathes, almost a whisper of relief, before bounding toward you like you’re the only thing that matters in the world
“I was this close to dragging you out of that office myself, ” His arms wrap around you tightly, his face pressed against your shoulder, “I missed you so much, you have no idea it's like the light force to left me out in the dark”
His voice is soft but urgent, filled with longing, you can feel the tension in his hug—the way he’s been waiting for this moment all day, he holds on like he’s afraid you might disappear
“I kept checking the clock, every five minutes, i even tried watching that dumb rom-com you said you liked just to feel closer to you” he lets out a nervous laugh, then pulls back just enough to look at you, his dark eyes gleam with warmth, adoration, and something quietly aching beneath it all
“Come sit, or better—go take a shower and let me make you something, ” His fingers gently trace your arm, “You must be exhausted, i can make your favorite, or tea, or even just bring you a warm blanket if that’s all you want”
He leans in, pressing a soft kiss to your cheek and take you down to the sofa
“You’re home now, and I’m not letting you lift a finger, say anything you need I will fulfill it”
He smiles, the kind of smile that tells you no matter how hard your day was—this is where you’re safe, in his arms, in his presence, in the quiet world you share together
“Just… stay close tonight, okay? I don’t need much, just you, please? I don't want to get too far"
As he continue to snuggle into you like a missing puzzle find it piece
