#army!tom

Hi! Just a little disclaimer for next time if you want to send it in as an ask it would be far easier for me to do 🥰🥰💗💗

You knew the moment you started dating tom things wouldn’t be normal. He would be gone all the time, often leaving in the middle of the night with a note on the counter as he was needed. Being gone for month hurt but you still loved him dearly.

“Happy birthday darling!” Toms mother came to kiss your cheek. You smile softly as she hands you the glass of wine and you feel your smile quickly fade as all you wanted was tom. A phone call, voicemail, hell even a letter would make you feel better but there was nothing.

“Thank you.” You smiled back at her as the backyard party was hosted by both your mom and Toms. The hallways of the house painted with family pictures and individual ones of the young boy.

“He would be here if he could.” She placed her hand on your shoulder and you nodded. You hated when people talked to you like that, made him sound dead. He wasn’t dead, he just wasn’t home.

“I know.” You smile he her and she walks off. You’re caught up with the family picture of tom at the beach when he was a kid, big crooked smile thinking how maybe one day your own kids could be running around at the beach.

“Well, good thing I could be here then.” A soft, sharp, slightly horse voice came though the living room and you look up. Your eyes immediately fill with tears as you see Tom standing there, bags at the floor in a tight t-shirt and uniform pants. His hair starting to come back and you almost fall into his arms as you run torwards him.

“Tom?” You whisper in shock and you hear his mom come in along with the rest of the family to greet him with tears and hugs.

“Happy birthday Angel, missed you.” He pressed a kiss to your cheek and you only held on tighter. “Missed you so much thought of you everyday.” He kissed again and you sobbed into his shoulder.

“Can I just get a beer.” He’s sitting at the bar, one of the only people at the bar on this late Tuesday night. You had people from the training camp a few miles down come all the time. They’d celebrate or just hang out, but this one...this one came alone.

“You’re alone.” You spoke as you filled the glass with the golden liquid. “I’ve never really seen a solider alone here.” You tell him and he takes a sip while keeping eye contact.

“Well, I needed to get out.” He took you all in. He’s not going to lie, your Look was different, no low cut v-neck, it was just a plain black tee with overalls, it was a cute look.

“That’s what a lot of them say.” You tell him and he tilts his head.

“Yeah?” He asks and you nod.

“Yup.” You pour a shot for yourself and take it. No one was here, just a few older people in a booth and a young couple that was sure to hook up in the bathroom.

“I come here all the time, why do I never see you?” He asks and you give him a look. His badge says his name, just like yours says yours.

“I started only two weeks ago. That’s why. But I’ve seen a lot in the two weeks I’ve been here.” You tell him and he grows a soft, lipless, cheeky smile.

“What’s the craziest thing?” He asks and you let out a soft laugh trying to think of something.

“Some guys a couple of days ago came in here, they were all happy and everything so I asked them what the occasion was. They seemed really excited and I was bored and curious. The redhead told me his girlfriend of 4 years broke up with him. I didn’t think that was something to celebrate until he told me he never loved her. That was the craziest thing, heartbreaking though.” You tell him and he lets out a soft angelic laugh.

“Okay,” He tilts his head and takes another sip. “They celebrate all the time. People from camp. It kinda keeps us sane.” He tells you and you pour another shot.

“Oh yeah?” You ask and he nods.

“Yeah.” He goes to pull out his card but you shake your head.

“No, it’s on the house.” You look down at his badge and grow a smirk. “Tom.” You say his name like you’re trying to remember it.

“Oh, thank you.” He puts his card back and bites his lip and looks away. He’s never nervous around girls but now he is around you. “I’ve gotta go but if I come back tomorrow will I see you?” He asks and you shake your head.

“Sadly, no. I work Monday, Wednesday’s, and Thursdays. Also the weekends.” You say and he takes note of that.

“Okay, I’ll come by Wednesday.” He hops off the stool and you move some hair.

“Okay, I’ll see you then.” You smile and he is moving to the door but his eyes never leave you.

army Tom coming home and it’s unexpected and you’re super surprised

I’m also combining it with this so I hope you enjoy! I’m also sorry I highkey turned this into dad!tom. I’m so sorry!

“So What will you two Do when he gets home?” His mum asked as you sat in the back yard with her on the cool autumn day.

Tom being gone and you being his wife normally meant that you’d hang out with his mum. Catch up and talk about him, do as much as you can since you both missed him dearly.

“Probably sleep a lot, he’ll spend as much time as he can with soph and then we’ll probably send soph off to you one night so we can have a date. We just miss him, and we just really want to hold him you know?” You ask her and she nods as she looks over at her grand daughter who plays with the dogs.

“Tell me about it.” She takes a sip of her beer and then sets it back down. “She looks so much like him.” She comments and you nod feeling your heart warm when there was any mention of your daughter looking like her father.

All of the sudden Tessa runs down the backyard and to the front door. The sound of someone coming though got her excited and even dragged your girl along with her.

“Daddy!” You hear her little scream and the sound of a bag dropping. You get up without hesitation, hearing your girl shout for her dad, you knew he was home.

“Tom?” You come though the back door and he makes eye contact with you. The little girl has already found her place in his arms and she’s not letting go.

“Darling!” He comes over and pulls you into a hug too. You have tears and your daughter has a sour face.

“Daddy, I thought I was darling?” She asks confused and you just laugh with tears in your eyes.

“You are my darling. and my ladybug, and my little bear, and my pumpkin, you’re all sorts of things.” He kisses all over her face before he stops and kisses yours.

“I’ve missed you so much.” You tell him as you take his lips on yours.

“I’ve missed you even more.” He holds you close before he pulls off remembering everyone else. “Let me put you down little lady, I’ve gotta go say hi to everyone else.” He kisses her one more time and she follows him around as he says hi to everyone.
