     The door burst open with a bang and you heard noises from the corridor head into your apartment.

     You turned your head to look and saw your boyfriend standing there with his briefcase and a bag slung over his shoulder, a great big smile plastered onto his face. God, you had missed this man.

     He closed the door shut with his foot and took his bag off his shoulders. You heard the thud as it landed on the floor and he ran towards you. He launched himself onto the couch where you were sitting, knocking you down. You laughed at his eagerness as he lifted himself up so he could face you.

     He bent his head down to kiss you, starting with your lips he trailed all over your face, you cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, ears, neck, it was all marked with the cold lips of the man above you. In between each kiss he would mutter out a different affection into your skin. Sometimes it was 'i missed you' or 'i love you' or 'i'm never gonna leave again.

     You pushed at his shoulder to get him off you.

     Smiling in apology, he sat up against the back of the sofa giving you space to sit up as well. You placed your hand on top of where his was resting palm down on the sofa. Feeling your touch he turned it over as you interlock your fingers. You brought your hands upwards to kiss one of his knuckles. "I missed you too"

     "No y/n, i'm serious, i'm never going to leave you again" he said, enveloping your interlocked hands in his other one.

     "It's fine Niko, I get it, you do it for work, I don't have a problem with it." you assured, putting on your best understanding face to hide the confusion on where this even came from.

     "I have a problem with it!" he admitted, his face looked conflicted and his eyebrows were furrowed in determination. He had dropped his free hand to throw it up in the air right now to emphasise his point.

     "Niko," you replied, scooting up closer to him, "you have to travel, it's a part of the whole YouTube business contract" you say as you gesture in the air.

     You hear a small "i didn't sign any contract" but continue on, "why do you have such a big problem with it, I thought you liked exploring new places?"

     He nodded in answer but the concern never left his face, *I don't like being so far from you. I wanna be able to see your face every day beside me on the bed not AJ's" you smile and he carried on, "and I wish I could take you with me but it's just not possible and I just feel so alone and far away-"

     You could see his explanation quickly turning into something deeper so you stop him with a call of his name. You watch as he takes a deep breath, you unlink your hands to put one on his cheek and one on his bicep. He leans into your touch and you start speaking of an idea already brewing in the back of your mind.

     "Your problem is that you don't feel connected to me when you're away on trips right?"

     You feel him nod against your hand.

     "I have something that will help with that." you state simply before getting up and leaving him clueless on the sofa.

     He wants to follow you as you lock yourself in your room but he stops himself. He had faith in whatever you had planned and he wanted to take his mind off these things anyway. He got up and dragged his suitcase into his room and started to unpack.

     30 minutes later, you emerged from your room. You glanced down once more at the bracelet you had made for him. It was made of different shades of blue string to suit his favourite colours and it was quite well made if you did say so yourself. You hoped in the back of your mind that he would like it as you called out to him.

     He came out of his room having now changed into comfier home clothes. You hid the bracelet behind your back but not before he could see a glimpse of it.

     He pointed at the bracelet where it hid, "what's that?"

     "You'll see." you replied before taking his elbow and guiding him to sit on the sofa. He followed through easily.

     "Ok so," you started explaining, "you said you weren't going to travel because you didn't feel close to me right?"

     He nodded in confirmation, his eyebrows furrowed still but now in confusion.

     "Well I made you this" you reveal, bringing out the bracelet from behind your back and dangling it in front of him.

     His eyes lock onto the accessory and his face slowly softens as you continue explaining.

     "So like everytime you go away you can look at it and be reminded that I'm waiting for you when you come home"

     His eyes flick from the bracelet to you and back to the bracelet.

     "You can find it on your wrist and then you'll know you're never truly alone because this piece means I'm there with you" you continue while his mouth flaps like a fish but no sound comes out.

     You're a little concerned when he continues after you've stopped talking for 30 seconds.

     You're a lot concerned when he's still sitting there with his mouth open and his eyes are burning into the bracelet after a couple of minutes.

     "It's fine if you don't like it Niko, I'll just keep it" you say quickly and pull it back into your hand.

     His eyes finally snap out of whatever trance they were in as he essentially launches himself off the sofa and wraps you into a hug.

     "No no please I love it." He says as he squeezes you tight. "I'm an idiot, I was just processing what this meant to me please put it on me" he continues.

     You turn around in his arms to kiss him. He loosens his grip and holds his wrist out for you and you delicately wrap the bracelet around it. tying it a little bow.

     He raises his wrist up to kiss the bracelet. You smile at him.

     "Thank you, I swear I'm never taking this off." He says before his eyes widen and he gasps.

     "You should make one for yourself too so we're matching oh my god" he rattles off quickly in one breath.

     You laugh and drag him with the wrist that had the bracelet into your room. The feel of the material on his wrist sent little butterflies right to your stomach.

     "I'll teach you how to make it so you can make me one" you say as you open the door.

     You hear his gasp once more as he nods his head and the door closes on the two of you.
