Kidge One Shots

Cozy

Keith was sitting on the couch, feet up on the coffee table. He got back from the last mission with minor injuries. Told to stay home and rest. Which he did. He slept for about a day or two. But now he was done. And wanted his girlfriend.

Unfortunately, she was on a top-secret project. So here he was. Sitting on the couch, watching some movie that Katie loved so he could feel closer to her. He had blankets, a fire, and Cosmo at his feet. He had popcorn, pop, and candy.

It was just like she said. Yet, he felt no peace. No joy. All he could think of was how much he missed her smirks, smart-ass comments hell, even the way she was always leaning on him like he was her personal wall. Leaning his head against the back of the couch, he closed his eyes. Maybe he was a little tired still.

Keith felt a gentle scratch on his head and sleepily smiled. He opened his eyes looking into Katie's concerned gaze.

Whispering she says, "Hey Keith, how are you feeling? I found the key in the garage and let myself in. Sorry if that's a bit presumptuous but I knocked, and you didn't answer." She leaned down and kissed him on his cheek and then moved lower to his jaw, chin, and neck.

Feeling warm, he pulled her down on top of himself and snuggled down on the couch with her. Grabbing a blanket off the floor, he smiled and replied, without thinking, "Why don't you keep that key for yourself? So when you are done with your projects you can come home."

He blinked. Fuck. He said home! Rapidly trying to think of an excuse, he stutters, "Um, well, I mean-".

Katie puts her fingers on his mouth and nods. "Sounds good babe. Now shhh, I'm so damn tired, I honestly don't know the last time I actually slept."

Silence. After a few minutes, Keith looked down and could see that she had already fallen asleep. Maneuvering her to a more comfortable position, he closed his eyes. This was so cozy and warm. This feeling, this was home. This is what he was waiting for.
