A/N: Ooooh boy! This is a packed out and emotional chapter in ALL the ways! Strap in!
CW: Oli's anxieties come to a head, arguments, fears, accusations, insecurities. Mentions of marriage, pregnancies, and some mega fluff.
After all the excitement of yesterday, Oli and Mia had decided to just have a chill day at home before the tour continued tomorrow. Even though the UK portion of the tour would be commencing in London, Mia was going to be leaving pretty early to start working again before the bands set up for the evening. Mia was sure the fans would start to queue really early too so that would give her some extra shots and interviews too. This article was going to be huge and she was looking forward to making it one of Metal Focus's biggest features ever.
But today was all about her and Oli.
Oli had already brought her breakfast in bed and made sure that everything Mia wanted, she got. And for once, all she wanted was to lounge around in her sweats, cuddle on the sofa and watch movies all day with Oli. Oli was more than happy to oblige and he set up blankets and cushions, making sure they had plenty of snacks within reach and that the fireplace was fully stocked too.
After today, Mia wouldn't be back home for almost an entire month and although Oli was sometimes gone for similar amounts of time when he was on tour, it felt different to him. He tried to convince himself it was because when he was away, he was occupied with working, so he didn't have time to focus on missing Mia. Obviously, he did miss her, but being busy took the edge off at least.
But something else was bugging him and he hated it.
He glanced up and all his worries dissipated as Mia trudged into the living room and flopped next to him on the sofa. A grin spread across his face as she immediately settled down with her head on his chest and her messy hair tickled at his chin. He leant down to kiss her temple and picked up the remote to put Twilight on. He had rolled his eyes when Mia had suggested it, but she had done that face - the cute pouty one with the puppy dog eyes that she knew he couldn't resist.
"Those movies are awful!" Oli had protested. "Why on earth would you want to watch such ridiculous portrayals of vampires, especially knowing what you do now?"
"Because I know how ridiculous they are!" Mia replied with a giggle. "But it's a guilty pleasure and you said I could choose what I wanted."
That was when she did that face and Oli was a goner.
Besides, now she was here with him, he didn't care what they watched, as long as they were together.
The film was barely ten minutes in when Mia's phone vibrated on the coffee table. She pulled herself up to grab it, a grin spreading across her face as she opened the message, typed out a reply and settled back onto the sofa. Oli raised an eyebrow at her, but she rolled her eyes and went back to watching the film again.
Another few minutes passed and another message came through, this time earning a giggle and a blush from Mia before she typed out a reply.
"What's so funny?" Oli quipped as she tossed the phone back next to her and turned her attention back to the TV.
"Nothing, just work stuff." Mia replied casually.
Oli shook his head and tried to continue watching the movie, but something about Mia's constant texting was niggling at him. He pushed it to the back of his mind, focussing on the ridiculous portrayal of the vampires on the screen.
The buzzing of Mia's phone again jolted his focus, but he kept his eyes on the screen, pretending not to notice. But his guard was up, focussing subtly on Mia's movements just outside of his line of sight, his body tensing up as he felt her shift in her seat and she stifled a giggle.
