Rescue (Tom Hiddleston/Avengers fanfic)

Chapter 2

    *** Morgan's POV ***

As soon as I hung up the phone, I raced into the kitchen to put away clean dishes and tidy up. Next I fluffed the couch pillows and put the extra blankets in the nearby basket. Thomas hasn't been back for a few weeks. I'm so happy he's coming to see me. It's nice to have him here where it's just us, away from people. Not stuck up in his luxury apartment in the middle of town with no privacy. 

After making sure the rooms were clean, I went upstairs to the bedroom to get ready myself. I threw on my simple v-neck black top and my comfy grey with floral print pants. I twisted parts of my long brown hair into a waterfall braid so sections were out of my eyes. "Perfect." 

Just as I finished the last braid, I heard the front door open and close. I turned off the bathroom light and raced to the stairwell. I looked over the steps and there he was. Standing in the front room with a bouquet of peach roses, my favorite. 

"Tom!" I ran down the stairs to him. Thomas set the roses down, he ran his fingers through the back of his hair as I made my way to him, both of us still beaming with joy of seeing one another again. When I reached him, I wrapped my arms around his neck, he spun me around in his arms, holding me close.

 "I've missed you, darling." He spoke, followed by kissing my forehead. 

"Ive missed you too, love." He gave me a peck on the lips before setting me down, and handing me the roses. "For you! Sorry, I might have damaged them a little from setting them down that quickly-"

 "They're beautiful honey, don't worry. Thank you. You apologize too much, babe." I winked, placing the flowers into a vase and water.

 "S-sorry.. hehehe." He shrugged, still smiling. His cheeks flushed red as he stood there.

 "I was wondering if you'd like to stay in tonight, get some take out and watch Netflix? I know your drive was long." I said. Tom looked really tired, he's been working a lot at SHIELD with Tony and his crews' missions. Thomas is closest to Thor, since he's worked on his cases the most. He was there when Thor first came to Earth. Now that they've gotten to work together and know each other, they're basically brothers. 

"That sounds wonderful, sweetheart. Let's do that." Tom said, followed by a yawn. 

"Great! I'll set up."
