Mark had been gone for almost a month on another space mission. All he left you with was a promise of return and a kiss, and while you wished you could get even just a minute more with him before he left, you knew what you were getting into when you started crushing on the guy.

After another day of no boyfriend to annoy you, you were getting ready to go to sleep, flicking off the lamp and slipping under the covers. The moment you shut your eyes, your window suddenly slid open, and in the split second it took to open your eyes, Mark was already shutting the window behind him, dressed in his suit and his hair a little disheveled.

You couldn’t even get a word out before Mark was peeling off his mask and stepping towards you. He tilted your head up to him and kissed you suddenly.

“…God, I missed that.” He muttered.
