You've been away from the Bebop for so long—Spike missed you dearly, more than he'd like to admit.

He received news that you're coming back tonight from Jet. He couldn't hide his excitement no matter how much he tried to act nonchalant about it, you'll know anyway.

So he prepared you a bouquet of red roses as he awaits your return—to his arms where you belong.

"Hey." He tried to act cool once you stepped inside, but he quickly let the facade go after seeing you fully. Ed hugged you tightly while giggling to herself before running off somewhere to let you reunite with him. He couldn't help but smile; the same smile he gives when talking on a video call with you.

He handed you the bouquet and gave you a firm kiss on your lips—the lips that he missed so much, not just the lips, he also missed everything about you—and he's glad you're back within his reach again.

"'missed you so much, you know that?"
