The click of the front door lock opening sounded down the quiet hall before the door knob was turned and pushed back. Taeyong slipped into the dimly lit house and locking the door shut behind him. He kicked off his shoes right next to yours and readjusted his duffle bag, full of traveling stuff, on his shoulder. When he peeked into the living room, he saw the Christmas tree in the corner next to the fireplace all lit up and glowing. He guessed that you had left it on for him before you went to sleep.
Taeyong had flown with NCT to Thailand to perform two days ago and he was just now getting home for the holidays. You had expressed to him that you were sad that he might not get home in time for Christmas, but Taeyong wasn't going to let that happen. Even though it was two thirty in the morning on Christmas Eve, he had still kept his promise to be home before Christmas day.
Taeyong crossed through the living room and down the hall to the left where the master bedroom was. The door was slightly open with the lamp on his side of the bed glowing into the hallway. He smiled at the sight of your figure fast asleep with a pair of his clothes fitted to your body. He set his bag down by the dresser and pulled out some stuff to use in the bathroom before he went to bed.
After he had brushed his teeth and cleaned his face, he changed out of his clothes and into some shorts and a t-shirt before turning off all the lights in the room and turning off the Christmas tree from his phone. Taeyong slipped under the comforter and the sheets, catching a glimpse of your wedding ring in the dark making him smile widely.
The heavy aroma of your perfume was inhaled through his nose as soon as his head hit his pillow. Your gentle features relaxed the stress he had the whole weekend and made him feel safe. Your hair fell delicately off your shoulders and onto your back leaving your face untouched. Your lashes gently kissed your cheeks, while your chest rose and fell lightly with every breath. You were breath taking to Taeyong and in that moment he felt himself falling for you all over again.
Taeyong slipped his hand under your frame and pulled you into him, settling his head against yours. The scent from your vanilla shampoo made him almost fall asleep right there, but he stayed awake long enough to hold you in his embrace and cherish the feeling between the both of you. His lips rested on your forehead as he felt his heart flip and spin.
He didn't need all of those presents and lights with ornaments and a warm fireplace to tie it all together. All he needed was you and he had just that.
"All I need is you." he hummed.
