It had been a week since you’d seen Alex. For other couples, that might’ve been alright- and many of his missions were this long anyway.

But Alex was an affectionate man. Going a week without kissing you was hell. So when he returned, that was first on his list to do.

He ran up to you, pulling you in for a kiss without a word- and then your noses cracked together. He kissed you for a moment before the ache in your noses hit you both. “Ah, fuck- did I do that?” He murmured against your lips.
