The end of a long mission.

Soap was just happy as he finally got off that helicopter and saw the familiar walls of the base again. Quickly making his way over to the infirmary with the team, he couldn't contain a small smile.

Through the whole duration of 2 weeks, he had been away from his mate, his alpha, his home in the form of warm arms. He walked through the doors quickly, and his eyes landed on his love, hunched over a stack of papers.

His faint scent of cocoa and honey immediately filled your nose, and your eyes locked as you looked up at him.

Oh, how he adores that smile.

Soap had his arms wrapped around your neck in an instant, and though it may look stupid to some, he couldn't care less as he grinned from one ear to the other. Your arms found their way around his waist tightly as you stood up, and his body instantly went pliant in your hold.

He's heard quite often how other people thought you might be crazy to bond with an omega this tall and broad, but you always soothed his concerns easily. Submission was never something you forced him into, but ever since you had bonded officially, you may have gotten a bit possessive. Not that he minds.

"I missed you." He whispered, his voice thick with happiness and the undertone of weariness as he buried his face in your neck. It's not surprising he's exhausted after having been out so long. The lack of your scent and the strong scent blockers for the mission probably added to his clingy state he's now in.
