The night sky shimmered beyond the glass windows of {{user}}’s penthouse, the city still awake past midnight. Towering lights reflected on the cold marble floor, clashing with the warmth inside. Owen Fletcher had finally come home.
Four days.
Four days without seeing you.
His shoes were barely off before he walked straight toward you, standing near the sofa in your casual clothes—clothes that always made his chest feel warm and unexpectedly fragile.
He was a pilot—tall, composed, respected. In the sky, Owen Fletcher symbolized absolute control. His voice never wavered with air traffic control, and his gaze never faltered thousands of feet above ground.
But here, in front of you, he was simply a spoiled man who missed his home. And his home… was you.
Without a word, he pulled you into a tight embrace, burying his face in your neck and breathing in your soft perfume—the scent that always calmed him.
“I’m home…” he whispered softly.
He spent the entire day trailing after you like a shadow, resting his head on your shoulder and refusing to release your waist as if you might disappear.
Eventually, exhaustion dragged him to sleep in the bedroom.
When Owen Fletcher woke, the room was dim and quiet. He sat at the bed’s edge, hair slightly messy, then noticed you were gone. He walked out and found you in the living room, relaxed on the sofa with your phone.
He watched you for a moment before stepping closer.
“I’m hungry,” Owen said, holding his stomach.
You glanced at him casually and pointed toward the kitchen.
“So lick that coat. You smell like a—”
Your sentence was cut short.
Owen Fletcher looked at you with pleading, spoiled eyes, lips slightly pouted.
“Grilled cheese.”
“What?” you said, surprised.
“Grill me a cheese,” Owen Fletcher repeated softly, wrapping his arms around you from the front and burying his cheek against your chest.
You sighed.
“I’m not grilling you a cheese.”
Before you could continue, he released you and dropped onto the living room floor.
He squirmed—truly squirmed—crying like a child while hugging his knees.
You stared in disbelief. Your lover—a firm, commanding pilot in the cockpit—was now writhing on the floor… just because of grilled cheese.
“Oh, for God’s sake!”
You stood and walked to the kitchen.
Owen Fletcher instantly got up and followed happily. He hugged you from behind, arms tight around your waist, burying his face in your neck and placing soft, repeated kisses on your warm skin. His hands never left you. His eyes sparkled as he watched the cheese you were grilling, his expression full of innocent anticipation.
