It's been four days and Hercules still hadn't returned. Hamilton returned after three days or so, but Herc hadn't shown up. You were wondering if he was alright.
He would've been here by now, right?
You shifted your weight from one leg to the other, ambling through your home. You realized it had to be pretty late, and headed to bed.
You woke up the next morning and instinctively turned on your side. As usual, Hercules wasn't there. Your mind began racing with thoughts about him. Your heartbeat pounded through your chest as you began worrying even more.
"What if he found someone else?
Am I not pretty enough?
Where is he?"
You immediately slapped yourself. You knew with all of your heart that Herc would never leave you for someone else. It just seemed like your brain didn't know this. You laid on Herc's side of the bed, breathing in his scent. His pillow smelled like him- sweat, perfume, and pine. The sweat came from all of his hard work, the perfume from his job, and the pine from..pine trees? You weren't too sure about that last one. Sitting up, you hugged his pillow, using it as comfort in these troubling times.
There was a knock on the door.
You hurried to open it, tripping on the way there.
"C-Come in!" You yelled, still sprawled across the floor. You heard heavy footsteps and the dropping of a bag. The footsteps hurriedly approached you, stopping right in front of you.
Hercules Mulligan leaned over your head, looking at you upside-down. "What a welcome!" He chuckled, quickly bending down and picking you up to twirl you around. You giggled, kissing him happily. "I missed you so much, Hercules."
"I missed you more, babe. Oh, and guess what?"
"Hm?"
"Since the carriage took so long to get there and bring me back, the General had me stay at home for a month longer. I don't really get it either, but I appreciate it."
Your eyes widened as tears streamed down your face. Your smile bursted into a grin as you kissed your husband's lips passionately. He kissed back, smiling.
"I sure do love you, (Y/N)."
"I love you more, Hercules."
