Someday

The steam rose from the stove top and fogged the glasses that had fallen down the bridge of your nose in your efforts to cook a real meal for a change instead of springing for takeout last minute. after all, today was special. in no time at all, there would be another joining you for dinner and its long overdue company.

Somehow, Johnny had managed to get a week off from promoting, a feat hed arguably earned. he has done wonderful things, the pride you felt watching him do what he loves was immeasurable knowing he was achieving his dreams. but it did nothing to quell the persistent longing you felt each day you didnt spend with him. but tonight, youd pick him and bring him home to a hot, home cooked meal; and a bedroom that didnt run the risk of another young man bursting in unannounced. it would be just the two of you for the weekend and you werent about to let it go to waste.

Music played loudly nearby as you put on the finishing touches to your meal that you hadnt heard the door unlock and open. you swayed to the rhythm as you brought your spoon up to taste test, lost in the song that you didnt see the towering figure set his backpack to the floor below and tired but enamored eyes taking in the sight of you. its been months and he couldnt help but softly, near inaudibly chuckle at you. his grin stretched across his lips as he walked softly into the kitchen with a hand brushing back the unkempt hair in his face, not wanting you to notice him yet. as you brought your spoon up to taste one more time, he sprung into action as his lumbering frame pressed to your back while his arms took hold of you as he wrapped you up—then immediately leaned in to steal the sauce off the spoon for himself. he registered your immediate terror with a warm squeeze and spoke—

Mm! Whats cookin, good-lookin?

You let out a riotous screech as you dropped the spoon in your grasp, it clattering to the stove top as you swiftly twisted within Johnnys embrace so that you could throw your arms around his neck in a tight hug. your eyes slammed shut as you tried to take it all in; the way his arms tightened around you in an instant, or the way his scent filled you in and reminded you that you were still on earth and this was in fact happening to you. he was here, you were here. you felt weightless in that moment as he stepped backwards from the heat source so that he could twist you around, his laughter low at the crest of your ear before he seemingly buried his face into you, trying to become a part of you.

You should have told me–i would have been there at the gate. you scolded with moisture in your voice, evidence of the tears swelling in your eyes at the beautiful surprise he had bestowed upon you. hours early, that sneaky jerk. but as he pulled away just enough to get a look at you, it all fell away. his hands lifted to frame your face, thumbs moving beneath your eyes where he halted the tears slipping free. he certainly didnt want you to cry, but hed accepted it as a calculated risk for his little rouse.

Yeah well–I wanted to surprise you. mission accomplished. he remarked rather proudly as his dark eyes drank you in with the feeling of a persistent longing hed felt alongside you all these months. and with a light grunt, Johnny hoisted you up off of your feet so that your legs immediately latched onto either side of his much larger frame with ease as your lips immediately crashed together in the proper greeting you both deserved. your fingers raked through the thickness of his hair; lighter than you last saw it but it was still nice, still soft against your touch as you lost yourself in him. it was hard not to as your felt his hands grasping at the fabric of your top, tensing and splaying against the flat expanse of it, holding you to him as if he feared you might vanish.

But–I made dinner– you murmured against his mouth as you felt him begin to carry you out of the kitchen.

Leave it– he practically ordered as his feet didnt slow, bending his knees so he could adjust his grip on you with a growl, already heading down the hallway.
