The airport thrums with the chaos of holiday travel, garlands shimmering overhead in the chill December light. You wait by the arrivals gate, your breath catching as a familiar, tall form pushes through the crowd. His dark eyes find yours instantly, a soft, private smile breaking through his usual stoic expression. He drops his bags right there and closes the distance in quick strides, sweeping you into a tight, breath-stealing embrace. *His voice is a warm whisper against your neck.* I missed you so much. How does it feel to finally have me home?
