💖Solemn Love Together💖

Vulnerable

Kinda spicy. 16+

It was bound to happen again some time, but that fact still didn't change how upset it made both you and Kite. Both of you had separate duties you were obligated to take care of for hunter work in totally different regions, so you wouldn't be able to work together. You would be apart, and you'd have to deal with it. He had a two month research expedition to go on for some data collection, and you had a target suppression task to follow through on that had the same two month time frame. If you apprehended the target sooner than the given time frame you could thankfully return early, but Kite would still have to remain in the field. You'd still have to wait for him unfortunately.

When you parted for your corresponding conflicting missions you made sure you shared a lengthy hug, knowing damn well how badly you would miss each other. Once gone, neither of you texted each other due to the caliber of your duties. Kite was in an area that offered no cell service, and you were chasing after a dangerous criminal who had been elusive enough that the association had to call you. There was simply no time, and neither of you messed around when it came to your line of work.

So, the two months of work alone began. For you, the job almost took up the entire time frame due to how slick the criminal was. But, as you expected you were able to apprehend your target before the deadline. It took you exactly fifty days. You had put your mind into work mode to get the task done, shutting off all your emotions and concerns for the sake of the job. It had exhausted you greatly, but you were done, and so you headed home to take it easy and recover from the nearly life threatening job. Kite still had ten days of data collection left, so even though you were home, home would not be with you.

You decided to return to your own home instead of his for a few days, wanting to distract yourself with some standard household duties you had been neglecting due to the extended time you had been spending at his place. Upon arriving at your home though, you were pleasantly surprised to see that the animals he took care of on occasion had hunkered down in your living room. Yes they were wild and preferred the outside life, but sometimes a little human interaction and shelter was needed, and you were honoured that they chose your residence as a safe space. After being lovingly greeted by a mound of furry friends, you fed them something nice instead of their usual catches of the night before you started to clean, thankful for the company the animals offered in their brief time there. You still had ten days to kill until Kite came home, so it was as if a piece of him were keeping you busy until that time.

The next week was spent playing with the animals once your house was spotless, giving you days of entertainment until they all trotted off to do whatever it was they desired to do. It was sad because you were alone again, but you refused to let it get you down and instead spent the remaining days wandering the nearby town, making purchases and chatting with old friends until the expected date of his return.

When that day came you received a text from him in the afternoon saying he'd be home by roughly nine at night, also mentioning that he wished to finish that bottle of wine he had, and perhaps drink some other liquors as well in a sort of celebration. This excited you, and had you running for your liquor cabinet at home within seconds. If it was a liquor sampling he wanted, he'd get it and at the highest quality too. It wasn't often he drank, so this was to be a special occasion indeed.

After filling a bag with your favourite and highest quality liquors from home, you dashed all the way from your house to his to get it ready for a nice night of drinks by the time he got home. Once inside you got straight to work reorganizing his living room, clearing the coffee table off and placing all your bottles on it in a lineup, consisting of champagne, vodka, rum, and tequila. You added his fancy bottle of red wine to the lineup as well. Stacking a couple of highball glasses and shot glasses in front of the bottles with two wine glasses as well. To top it off, you arranged some candles on the table and lit them, dimming the lights to give his home the perfect atmosphere. Now all you had to do was wait, which you patiently did by messing with your phone until the sky turned orange and pink, bringing the time closer and closer to his return.
