Chris Evans Imagines ||

13: Homecoming

Request: Military! reader surprises Chris at the Captain America: Civil War press tour
*the picture attached is where I imagine it takes place*

You've been gone for almost a year. You were stationed in Japan as part of your duty in the military.

It's been hard for you. You miss your friends and family. You miss home. But the one thing you really miss is your boyfriend, Chris.

Chris was about to leave for filming when you had to leave for Japan. The time zones and call times were hard on the two of you. You could never find time to speak with each other. But still, the two of you remained strong and faithful in the relationship.

"(Last name), you are hereby being honorably discharged from your duties," the colonel told you.

During a drill, you slipped and dislocated your knee, which has resulted in you needing surgery. As much as you hate to not be able to serve, you're ready to be home.

You're now packing what little you were able to bring so you can go home.

"(Last name), you have a phone call."

You're handed the phone and you answer.

"(Y/n)? This is Joe Russo," he says.

"Hello! Is everything okay?"

"Oh, yes! I was just wondering if there was any way that you could come surprise Chris in a couple days at the press junket? I know it's short notice...He's been really down lately... We think it's because he misses you."

You frown. "I miss him, too. I actually have been discharged from service. So I'm coming home. I haven't even told him yet."

"How convenient!" He laughs and you do as well. "We'll send someone to pick you up at the airport. The junket is in LA."

You smile, excited about finally getting to see Chris again. "Thank you so much."

*****

The 12 hour flight from Tokyo to LAX feels like weeks. You're exhausted, but your brain won't let you sleep. You're ready to be home.

The plane finally lands and you get your luggage from the baggage claim. You search for the guy that the Russo brothers sent to get you and take you to the press junket.

"(Y/n)!"

You turn around to see a man standing in front of you.

"We decided that we would just pick you up ourselves. I'm Joe and this is Anthony," the man says.

"It's nice to meet you. I really appreciate you doing this for Chris."

"It's our pleasure. Let's get you off that knee, huh?"

You follow the two men out of the airport and to their car. The ride to the junket wasn't very long, even with normal LA traffic.

Joe and Anthony explain how they thought you could surprise Chris, and you're excited for their plan to happen.

When you get inside the huge conference room, there are already 50 or more interviewers seated and there are still quite a few seats open.

The Russos guide you to a back room where Chris wouldn't be able to see you and ruin the surprise. They quickly went over the plan again and said they would see you in a few minutes.

Before you know it, it's time for the surprise. You're hands are shaking a little. You're not even nervous, you're just ready to be in Chris's arms again.

"So, Chris," you hear from the speakers. It's time for you to go out. "We have a bit of a surprise for you..."

Chris looks to Anthony with a confused look on his face. And that's when you walk out in stage.

"No way!" Chris yells and jumps out of his seat. He rushes over to you and wraps his arms around you, spinning the two of you around for a moment.

"You're home..." he says, barely above a whisper. He knows that if he speaks any louder, his voice will crack from emotions.

"I'm home," you say.

Chris pulls away and cups your face to bring you in for a kiss.

You can hear the clicks and see the flashes of the cameras in the audience, and the claps from the cast around you.

But you really don't care. Because you're finally home.

Hope this was okay :)
