Herophine One Shots... 💖

Two weeks leave 🇬🇧 (5)

Hero

For the first time since joining the army I've never been more eager to get back home to civilisation. The past six months out there have been fucking torture and it's all down to the beautiful blonde with the most perfect blue/gravy eyes that has made me feel things I promised myself I never would whilst still serving in the army. I've never been one for all the romantic shit but she was right about the whole back and forth letter writing being just that... it was one of the only things getting me through the past six months. Within a matter of weeks this girl turned me into a right fucking sap sending her sappy letters and even getting flowers delivered it's a good job the lads never got wind of it I would have been ripped the fuck out of indefinitely that's for sure. At least I'm finally on a plane back home away from this place; it will be great to see all my mates and family but I would be lying if I said I wasn't itching to get over to Perth so I could see Jo it's been a long six months and there is nothing more I want than to just see her in person. Just one more week and I'll be booking a flight straight over there. If it wasn't for Christmas being in a matter of days and such a big deal for our family I would go now but it has always been a big thing especially for my mum so we always make sure we are all home even Mercy booked time off work to fly home.

It's mad that this whole thing with Jo started off with us 'just having fun' but within days no hours even I think we both knew it was more than that. For the past six months we said that we would take it slow, get to know each other more and see how things go when I get back but there is no way in fucking hell I want to take things slow with her and I hope to fuck she feels the same. Six months, six long ass fucking months I've spent writing and calling this girl getting to know her more and more and falling so fucking hard that it consumes me so yeah there is no way I want to waste a second longer without her being mine officially. I know I've got it bad and that it's more than just lust because not once have I ever entertained the idea of leaving the army yet from the moment this thing between me and Josephine started it's all I have thought about and it honestly scares the fucking shit out of me to be completely honest.

To my utter fucking surprise the minute I step off the plane I'm greeted by Mercy I was just going to grab a taxi home to be honest but this is definitely better. Having spent months away in active duty it's safe to say seeing my sister's face as I step off the plane and her run over jumping into my arms makes me happier than I could have imagined.

"Well you deffo need a shower and we need to get some food down you your looking scrawny as ever dipshit." She smirks into my neck, isn't she lovely.

"Well hello to you too smidge....six months away and you can't muster up some meaningful words no?... "I laugh squeezing her harder than necessary; it's been to fucking long.

"Oh hush... so mum wanted to pick you up but then realised that you're going to eat the house out of home when your back so she's sorting you a right good feast to get back to." She smirks as she drives out of the parking lot.

Of course for the whole drive back to mums Mercy asks bare questions about what this whole thing between me and Jo is... of course I know what I want us to be and by next week I will know if Jo wants the same, I fucking hope she does. Fuck I forgot what it was like to be in a car with Mercy she's got me completely shook as she swerves and turns sharp corners not giving a shit whether she kills us or not. I'm actually more scared with her driving me than I've been out in Afghanistan man. The minute she pulls into mum's driveway I don't even wait for her to stop the car before jumping out.

"Are you mad? I've just survived months over there then you almost kill us both driving like a fucking mad man..." I huff slamming the door.

"Oh stop overreacting you melt come on mums waiting." She says locking the car and walking ahead into the house.
