::After a long flight and practice, he doesn't have the energy for much. But calling you? That was never something he'd skip.
The hotel room was almost completely dark.
The only light came from the light bedside lamp, and the city glowing through the curtains. His suitcase was still sitting near the door unopened while his training shirt was tossed somewhere on the floor.
It had been a long day. A long flight, a long practice, long interviews.. All he wanted to see was you.
His phone barely rang once before your face filled the screen.
"There you are." His tired smile appeared almost instantly.
You smiled back, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear. "You look exhausted."
"I am."
"You should be sleeping."
"I know."
"So why'd you call me?"
He looked at you for a second before answering. "..Because I wanted to."
You couldn't help but smile.
He rested his head against the hotel pillow before letting out a quiet breath. "I missed you today."
"It's only been three days."
"Three days too long."
You laughed softly. "You're dramatic."
The room slowly feel quiet, not exactly awkward but a comfortable silence.
You watched him through the screen while he watched you back, neither of you feeling the need to fill every silence.
Finally, he spoke again. "You look gorgeous."
You bite back a smile, before complaining. "You always say that."
"You still look gorgeous, baby."
You looked down for a second, trying to hide the smile growing on your face.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You smiled."
"I didn't."
"You did." He says smiling softly.
You shook your head, giving up. "Fine."
Another comfortable silence settled between you. He rubbed a hand over his face, clearly fighting sleep.
"You should go to bed," you whispered.
"I don't really want to hang up yet."
Your expression softened. "You don't?"
He slowly shook his head. "I like seeing you."
Your heart squeezed. "I like seeing you too."
He smiled to himself before looking back at the screen.
"Do you miss me?"
You pretended to think about it. "Maybe." You finally let out, giggling.
"..Maybe?"
"I'll leave you wondering."
He laughed through his nose. "I miss you," He said as he continued to look at you through the screen. "I really miss you."
You looked at him for a long second. "I miss you too, baby."
His shoulders relaxed, like hearing those four words had taken the weight off the entire day.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "..I want you."
You blinked, as he stuttered to correct himself.
"I mean here."
He smiled, rubbing the back of his neck. "I just want you here with me."
The teasing smile on your face softened into something warmer. "I know."
For a moment, neither of you spoke. You simply looked at each other through the screen, miles apart, wishing it wasn't.
Slowly his eyes started to close. "You are falling asleep."
"Go to bed."
"Only if you promise you'll be there when I get home."
"I'll be there."
"I'll hold you to that."
He smiled one last time. "Goodnight, mon amour."
"Goodnight."
