Hullo loves and welcome back to another Geraskier oneshot! This one is a modern AU which I'm excited to write so let's see how this goes! Also this one is in honour of pride month! As I myself am queer so im writing this as a little nod to myself and others in the lgbtq+ community!

"There's no place like London!" Jaskier exclaimed as he stepped out of the airport terminal and onto the pavement

"Did you just make a Sweeney Todd reference at half past midnight?" Yennefer asked, her expression unimpressed and eyebrow raised

Jaskier simply laughed as he placed his luggage in the boot of Yenn's car and closed it. He moved to the passenger seat and climbed in, pulling out his phone and smiling at the lock screen. A picture of him, Geralt, and their dog Roach from their last holiday stared back at him. A happy sort of sadness filled Jaskier, he missed Geralt, it had been a year since they had seen each other. With Jaskier being on his tour of Europe since his music career took off and Geralt doing military things he wasn't allowed to speak of, they had only spoken on the phone. Yenn looked over from the driver's seat and smiled sympathetically at her friend.

"Soon, you will get to see him soon" Yenn assured, a hand patting Jaskier's thigh gently

"I know, only one month left in his deployment and one show left tomorrow night for me and then we get to see each other again" Jaskier sighed and tried to smile

"Even if Geralt isn't waiting at home for you, Roach is, I dropped her off before picking you up, she missed you" Yenn informed as she drove onto the main stretch of road

"How was she while I was gone?" Jaskier asked

"So you ask about the dog but not about me or Triss? I see how it is" Yennefer teased

"Wellllll" was Jaskier's response with a cheeky grin

The pair laughed after that, and conversation lightened to what they had been up to and how Yennefer's modeling had been going, how Triss had been doing as a doctor and just general life after that. Half an hour later, they pulled up to the small house that Jaskier and Geralt called theirs. It was nestled just outside London, so Jaskier could be close to the city but not so close that Geralt felt he was being bombarded, and the house was big enough to give them room but not too big that it was too much. It was their version of perfect.

Jaskier was hardly in the door when Roach tackled him to the ground to lick his face, her tail wagging the entire time. The brunette laughed and tried half-heartedly to push Roach off, the welcome home from her being something he had been looking forward to. Once Jaskier was finally on his feet again, Yenn said her goodnight and goodbyes, a hug being her parting gift.

"Come love, I have to shower and then we can cuddle" Jaskier said to Roach who followed him up the stairs, her tail wagging the entire way

Jaskier flipped on the tap, letting steam fill the washroom, as he stripped from his clothes and grabbed a soft towel from the cupboard. The relief of the warm water on his skin was something he had been waiting for all day, that and being back home, in his own shower with his own things. Jaskier took his time showering, savouring every moment until he had to get out when Roach started to whine at the door. He dried himself and his hair with the towel and walked to the bedroom, flicking on the lights as he went, putting on sleep clothes and laying down in the bed, Roach settling next to him.

The room was peaceful, as Jaskier hummed a song that he had been working on, when his phone that had been left on the night stand, began to ring. He turned over and picked it up, the number was the one Geralt had been using to call him from most recently, and his heart skipped a beat. He hit the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
