A tight secret (Philip Graves / reader)

Christmas special!

Happy holidays everyone I hope you had a good holiday so far, since we have New Years coming up and aren't yet done with the year I want to give you guys a gift.. a one shot that has nothing to do with the storyline. Enjoy <3

The holidays were right around the corner, everyone was warming up at night with their special someone for this cheerful season. But yours was no where in sight. Your husband was in the military and not only was he in the military he was a commander you didn't have high hopes he'd be making it on time or even at all maybe next year..

You set up the Christmas lights, your tree beautifully light just like the house itself was as well. Those white classic lights hanging around making it seem like a winter wonderland. Sure your house was cozy and comfortable, and definitely pretty. It wasn't feeling much like home recently.. you wanted your husband home with you. It wasn't fair you saw all these couples who got to be together, smiling and opening presents with their children on Christmas morning, or ice skating at the rink or even just shopping last minute. The whole week you were full of envy you felt you'd be eaten alive the more you went out. But you survived and you were so "understanding" you heard that constantly 24/7 from everyone around you. "My husband won't be home probably. It's alright though" you'd explain with a simple sigh and shrugged and the look of pity wash on their face was ridiculous. You shouldn't be pitted but rewarded, your husband that's all you needed and wanted. If only Santa could be gracious or be given a miracle, anything you'd take absolutely anything, that would get you him.

*Tv playing in the background*

You made some hot chocolate then curled up on the couch, turning on some cheesy seasonal movie that wasn't too bad. Until you hear a sound.. the front door open and a large thump.

who tries to break into a house on Christmas Eve? Well you got up careful to make any noise with a weapon (a wooden rolling pin) and made your way towards the entrance, was this a completely unsafe and idiotic plan? Yes it was. You entered the front of your dark light house, and saw a shadowy figure wearing all black and BAM you didn't have time to check who it was, you whacked them at random hoping wherever the rolling pin's strikes landed it would be somewhat affective enough to give you time to call the goddamn cops

"BABE ITS ME, ITS ME STOP" the shadowy figure shouted pleading for you to stop sounded way to familiar but you didn't stop you continued to hit harder. The shadowy figure then, took the rolling pin of of your and turned on the lights.

"It's me babe." The babe was filled with a bit of annoyance.. it was your husband. Standing right in front of you. It was actually your husband you begged this wasn't a dream. You did the only rational thing to do and threw yourself at him into his arms. He caught you just in time lifting you, you held onto his neck looking him in his eyes. For a moment you both were silent.. you wanted to cry tears of joy but instead you kissed him softly and rested your head on his shoulder as he carried you to the couch setting you down gently not taking his eye sight from you. Shadowing on top of you with a smirk on his lips.

"Welcome home Philip.. I missed you so much" you said smiling slightly then looking over at your tree.. the bottom was filled with display presents but one stood out it was Graves present the one you still put under the tree "just in case" and you're glad you did. You shoved Graves out of the way carefully then walked over and picked up the present. Graves had such a warm expression plastered on his face, you handed him the gift and waited for him to open it.

It was an baseball signed from his favorite player.
"Thank you so much wow." It was a pure genuine reaction it made you feel good to be able to gift him something he'd like. He placed it to the side and gave you a passionate kiss as if you didn't just kiss him, but hey you weren't complaining. You couldn't wait till tomorrow now you wouldn't be alone and you had your incredible husband home just like you wanted it maybe Christmas miracle do exist? Huh alright.

(The next chapter of the true storyline will be out sooner or later!)
