Finding Something True Tom Hiddleston x Reader

phone home

You quickly looked at your phone as you heard his voice and put the phone against your ear.

"Hi Tom" you replied "how are you?" You asked as if you hadn't heard what he said.

"Hey Y/N, I'm good. H-how are you?" Tom replied his voice sounded more clear.

"I'm good as well" you answered "I uh, saw you called so I picked up but I didn't hear anyone so I was gonna hang up until I heard your voice just now" you explained, even though he didn't ask. You just felt it was necessary.

"Oh alright" he chuckled "I didn't mean to call, I'm sorry" he said

You frowned a little "oh, well, that's alright. Dont worry about it." You replied with a small chuckle so you didn't sound hurt.

"Well I mean I did want to call and talk to you but I just assumed you were asleep since it's a bit late. " Tom said quickly

"Ohhh, yeah that's understandable" you chuckled a little "I would be but as much as I love to sleep.. I can't, I mean I can, but it's just hard to sleep, ya know?" You said

He let out a small chuckle "yeah I know" he replied quietly

"Its easier to have someone by your side to be quite honest" you added softly 

"Yeah, it really is" he answered

You anxiously bit on your nails as you built up the courage to ask him a question. You breathed softly and let out a quiet sigh before opening your mouth to speak.  "Hey, Tom?" You asked as you stopped chewing your nails

"Yes y/n? " he replied, his tone still very soft.

"Can you possibly umm... " you picked softly at the nail you had bitten "well, could you possibly stay on the phone with me until I go to sleep?"

It was quiet for a second but for you it felt longer causing your anxiety to spike. Your heart raced. "I messed up didn't I? He probably doesn't want to talk to me." you thought. It felt like an eternity before he answered.

"Of course, y/n, I'd love to" he said his tone softer than before which made your heart stop racing and letting out a small sigh of relief.

"Thank you Tom" you replied with a small smile.

"Oh how about we video chat? It would be easier" Tom suggested.

As much as you'd love to see his handsome face, you didn't have any make up on not were you dressed properly.
"Yeah.. well... I don't have any makeup on right now so I look like a mess." You responded

"Oh nonsense I'm sure you look beautiful as always, it doesn't matter whether or not you have makeup on, we'll just be in the phone" he replied with a little chuckle

You thought about it for a second and sighed a little "alright you win this time sir" you chuckled "just hold on, let me hang up real quick and then I'll facetime you, alright?"

"Alright, just as long as you actually call me back we'll be good" he said

"I promise to call you back, see you in a bit" you smiled

"Okay, see you" Tom replied and hung up.

You quickly got up and fixed your hair a bit and changed into your pajamas. You checked yourself one last time before putting on your blue light glasses just so your eyes didn't hurt much from staring at the phone.
