You missed him. You missed him so much that you couldn't bear it. But you would wait. Waiting for him because you trusted him, because he always kept his promises right?
He woke you up one night to tell you that he had some important work.
"Sweetie....sweetie?", the voice flows softly through the dark room and finally reaches your ears, consciousness still in the realm of soft dreams. Your eyelids flutter a bit which causes the other figure to hesitate a bit.
After a few minutes, a hand reaches out to shake you softly which causes you to jump with wide eyes still blown out with sleep. With a groan you prop yourself up on the bed and the warm hand rests on your back to help you.
"Sylus...?" you ask as you rub the remaining sleep out with your fist.
Sylus brings you closer to his chest into a hug, something that he doesn't do as often as you do. This must be serious.
"An emergency has come up. I need to leave for a bit."
"Mhmmm. How long?", you look up at him, your chin now resting on his chest.
"I'm....not sure.", the sentence remains in the air for a few moments. You then sit up straight and look him straight in the eye waiting for him to finish. Taking your hands in his, he squeezes them gently, to ground you or him, you don't know.
"I want to make it back within a month though-"
You stop him that instant by instantly getting off the bed and start putting on your hunter gear. Sighing, Sylus gets up and walks over to you stopping your motions with a firm grip on your shoulders.
Not even trying to hear him out, you continue to strap up.
"Sweetie.", he shakes you by the shoulders, his voice a bit louder this time.
"I am not letting you go alone then."
"You have work. I can handle this. It's just a long business trip."
"JUST? I know you were implying it's a month minimum. Meaning it could take longer with no contact and higher risk of injuries. Don't fuck with me Sylus! I am not dumb.", at the end of your rant you realise you have been holding your breathe, trying to control your emotions.
"Kitten.....", he cups your cheeks in his palms. " I will always come back to you."
You hold onto his hands as well, taking a deep breathe in an attempt to control the tears, making your lower lip wobble.
"If you don't, I'll find you and kill you myself."
He only chuckles, pressing a long kiss to your lips. A promise or a goodbye? You don't even want to think about it. But you'll wait. You'll always wait. Because your heart beats for him. and His eyes only search for you.
The first month you didn't do anything. Because if Sylus said something he always made it happen. Then another month passes. Your heart beats faster than usual, but the aether core in you doesn't seem to have any problems. Everything around you seems normal but it doesn't feel right.
You let a few more days pass and once you have had enough, you start going through the documents at his base, interrogating his enemies. Anything to just know if he is ok. If he is still breathing.
You stop going to work, sleep on the couch during the days and work on finding him when the moon is up. But it's always nothing. No track, no clue, not even a crumb.
It's a cold night, the city is filled with sounds. Vehicles, people cheering, some festival that was happening that you couldn't give a fuck about because those aren't the sounds you wanted to hear.
There were no caws of a certain crow, any loud banter of the twins and most importantly his laugh. Even imagining his laugh made you feel warm.
Right then, your eyes droop, the paper you were holding slips from your hand, head lolling back as the days of staying awake finally catches up to you.
You don't know how much time has passed. When you wake up, your neck cramps but smthg heavy sits on your lap. Looking down, you see a black blazer with red accents.
Your neck snaps to the side, ignoring the crick in your neck.
"Sylus, is that really you?"
You stand up on weak legs and jump into his arms. He catches you. He always does, pressing you closer into his embrace.
"It hasn't even been that long. Don't tell me you experienced separation anxiety in that time, kitten."
Tears flow faster than you can stop them. You laugh and punch his chest hard, he lets out a dramatic 'oof'. Hands fly around him everywhere, checking for any signs of injuries.
"I think you forgot that I could heal myself, sweetie.", teasing you but still allowing you to check him because he knows this is for the sake of your sanity.
"I was trying to find you and finally shoot you on sight. Where the hell were you?"
"I missed you too, kitten.", he smiles. The same smile that you missed for oh so damn long.
"You really are here...You look so tired.", your fingers swipe over his eye bags.
"Have you even been eating?"
He removes your hands and kisses them.
"It was a long journey. But I am here now. I hope you still do love me." he jokes. And yet it chokes you.
"You'll always be my kindred spirit...I will always wait for you.", you say sincerely.
His gaze widens for a millisecond, surprised by your confession.
Tackling him onto the floor you press a passionate kiss to his lips. Gently grabbing your neck, he invites you closer. Pinching your chin, asking for permission to go further. With no time to waste, you open them. His tongue, takes the chance and glides along yours. You cup his cheeks, getting in closer till both of you were one and the same. It itches your brain, in a good way. A desire that only seems to grow after being locked away for almost three months.
This time he breaks the kiss, you still chase after him.
"I missed you to, sweetie..."
He stands in the kitchen cooking for you after finding out you have been skipping meals for months and you don't leave his side. You wrap your arms around his waist, head resting on his back like a koala as you hum a tune that he hadn't heard before.
He raises a brow at your flippant answer but he doesn't question it.
After dinner, he carries you to bed and he sees your screen light up from a notification. A song seems to still be running in the background. On taking a closer look he sees "Would You Fall in Love with Me Again?".
He smiles and takes your phone to switch it off. He'll listen to it with you in the morning after a long night of sleeping and cuddling.
