"Oh my god they're almost here they're almost here they're almost here!!!!" Troye kept repeating over and over, play hitting Jacob on the arm when he would get too antsy. It was almost six in the evening and the Mellet's plane should have landed about 15 minutes ago. Troye and Jacob were standing in the baggage claim, ready for Troye's family to come running through the automatic doors of LAX after getting off the plane and going through customs.

"I know I'm so excited baby," Jacob said against Troye's hair as he gave him a kiss on his head, wrapping an arm around him and hugging him tightly.

"Sorry, sorry," he repeated. "I know, I need to calm down," Troye nervously said, trying to control his heart rate.

"Nooo it's cute," Jacob laughed. "I love how excited you are too see them," Jacob laughed and he held onto both of Troye's hands and let their arms swing in between them. "It must suck to be so far away from them all the time," Jacob commented sadly.

"Yeah, it sucks," Troye agreed. But he gave Jacob a soft smile smile to know he was okay. His back was facing the big automatic doors that lead to the terminal, meaning Jacob was facing them. And Jacob smiled back as he rubbed Troye's hands in his own, using his big ones to calm Troye's small and shaky ones.

"It's gonna be such a good week," Jacob commented. "I took off most of my shifts and I already told a few of my professors I'd be missing some classes..." Jacob started.

"What? You didn't have to do that," Troye said shocked, suddenly concerned for Jacob and the work/class he's going to miss. As if he was suggesting an absolutely unacceptable preposition of missing classes and work.

"You silly goose...I wanted to," he reminded him. "My mom's getting married, my boyfriend's family is in town...I wanna spend time with family. It's important to me," Jacob said.

"But aren't you trying to save?" Troye asked.

"That was when saving was important to me," Jacob said thoughtfully. "But I think my priorities have changed a bit," Jacob admitted, still rubbing both of his hands against Troye's lovingly. "You're my priority now," he said with love, looking at his boyfriend with soft eyes. He leaned into the boy and gave him a peck on the lips to remind him of that. Troye smiled before leaning back up and pressing their lips together once again, while wrapping his arms around Jacob's neck, giving him one of the deepest kisses he's probably ever given in public. They both smiled as Troye pulled away, and brought his hands back down to Jacob's and intertwined their fingers once again.

"I love you," Troye whispered.

"I love you too," Jacob said sweetly to his shorter boyfriend. He smiled as his signature beautiful blue eyes before raising his head and looking just beyond him where he saw a very familiar family of four looking at them with adoring eyes. Jacob couldn't help but smile as he made eye contact with them. He looked back down at his boyfriend who was still looking at him unknowingly. "And I think some other people love you too," Jacob said with a smile so wide it almost broke his face.

"Hmm?" Troye hummed in confusion before his eyes went wide and he saw how Jacob's eyes were looking slightly past him. The huge smile broke out on his face before he could even fully turn around, and once he did, he let out a shaky breathe as his eyes met the sight of his parents, brother and sister waiting by the wall as if they've been watching for who knows how long. He broke out into a sprint as he ran over to them and immediately embraced his mom in the biggest and warmest hug he thinks he's ever given her.

"Hi honey," Laurelle said softly as she was already surrounded by the warmth and excitement of her son. They were all tired and already feeling the effects of jet lag but seeing Troye's smiling face immediately perked them all up. But as soon as Troye went through the round of hugs, their attention had already switched to the beautiful boy standing there that they had yet to meet.
