You sighed as you packed the final article of clothing into your suitcase before zipping it up. You took it off the bed of the hotel room setting it next to your other bags. It was super early in the morning, like still dark outside and the sun wouldn't be rising until another few hours when you were on a plane. Even though you were exhausted and being on a plane for over ten hours was the last thing you wanted to do, going home was worth it. You had been on tour for the last eight months, only going home a week or two in the middle.

When you arrived at the airport, you went straight to the plane for boarding. You didn't always take a private jet, but with the holidays season it was easier to get a flight that worked with your schedule and getting you and your crew back home to your families sooner. You took your seat near the window, leaning back against the back of the chair. You grabbed your phone out of your bag, seeing the photo of you and your boyfriend Harry as your lock screen.

While you were looking forward to see your family, you were looking forward to seeing him more. Between his work schedule and you being on tour, the two of you had only been together in person for a handful of times in the last four months. You also hated that you weren't able to be there for him when he hosted Saturday Night Live. He told you it was okay and not to worry about it, but you could tell by the tone in his voice he was a little disappointed.

Luckily, you were surprising him in LA for his album release day and concert at The Forum. He thought you would be going straight back to London to see your family and get settled in before the holidays, but you couldn't be away from him any longer, especially one such a huge day for him. For the majority of the plane ride, you spent the time getting some sleep and working on a new song.

Once the plane landed, you got your bags and headed straight to the car that was there to pick you up. There was still a few hours before you could head to the venue, so you stopped at your friends house to shower and change. There was an alert on your phone and it was a message from Harry.

Haven't heard from you. Let me know when you get home. I miss you. Love, H.

You felt bad having not texted him, but you didn't want to give away your surprise. So, you quickly finished up and got a car to take you to the venue. The only person who knew of your plan was Jeff and you were hoping he didn't spill it, but seeing Harry's texts you figured he didn't.

During the drive to the venue, you felt butterflies in your stomach. You had no idea why other than the fact that you were about to see him in person for the first time in months. You would actually get to wrap your arms around him, kiss him, and just be with him. Luckily, your days were over for the next year and even though Harry had a tour of his own, you would be able to see him more.

When your car pulled into the back of the venue, you got that Christmas morning feeling. You were practically about to jump out of the car before it even stopped. You thanked the driver before getting out and walking to the back door. The security let you in and you felt your pace quicken. You felt as if you were in a movie and you were reuniting with your love at the end, the only thing missing was a cheesy love song playing in the background.

The moment you saw him his back was turned to you as he chatted with someone on his team. Your heart almost stopped at the sight of him. It had been so long since you saw him in the flesh that it almost didn't feel real. You took a deep breath as you got your emotions in check before making your way over to him.

"Well, if it isn't the man of the hour," you smirked from behind him.

He stopped mid conversation before slowly turning around, his eyes widening at the sight of you.

"Surprise," you smiled.

He was in complete shock as he took you in his arms, holding you close to him, "How are you here right now?" He whispered into your hair.

"I could miss your big night, H," you smiled. "Besides, I couldn't wait almost another week for you see you."

He smiled widely, pressing his lips against yours as he held you as close as he could against his body. "God, I've missed you."

"Not as much as I've missed you," you whispered. "I'm so fucking proud of you," you added.

"Thank you," he whispered. "And thank you for being here."

"There's no place I'd rather be," you smiled.

The feeling of being back in his arms was still everything you ever wanted. You two were now back in your London home. Harry still had a few appearances to do, but for the most part you two were able to finally enjoy the holidays together. The day after you two got back to London, while you wanted to just relax and recuperate now that you were in your own house and bed, you also wanted to decorate the house.

You and Harry had put on some Christmas music while you two decorated with the tree. You laughed as Harry belted out the lyrics, badly, as he danced around placing ornaments on the branches. You took out your polaroid camera and snapped some photos of the two of you throughout the process, especially when Harry was trying and failing at untangling some of the lights.

After a good few hours of decorating and enjoying some take out for dinner, the two of you sat cuddled up on the couch with some hot chocolate. Christmas lights and candles lit up the room as the crackle of the fireplace mixed in with the Christmas music playing in the background.

You laid your head on his shoulder as you held your mug of hot chocolate in your hand, "Thank you," you whispered.

He looked down at you confused, "For what, baby?"

"For staying," you whispered. "I know this year... was hard for us. With me being gone so long and you not being able to come out on tour as much. There were days we went without talking to each other... and times where I thought maybe it would be too much for you..."

"Hey," he whispered bringing your face up to look at him. "Does it suck being away from you or not speaking to you for days at time? Fuck yes it does, but I know it comes with the territory. I know what it's like being on tour and being the one that's gone like that. I love you and it's going to take more than a few months apart and a few days without a phone call to make me walk away from you."

You smiled kissing his cheek, "You're the only Christmas present I need this year," you whispered.

"Good because I haven't done a bit of shopping yet," he joked.

You rolled your eyes at his comment, "I love you and I'm so glad I'm home for a while."

"Me too, baby," he whispered kissing your head. "Me too."

You smiled snuggling closer to him as the two of you sat together just enjoying the moment of being in each other's arms once again for the rest of the night.

This didn't exactly turn out like I had pictured in my head, but I hope you enjoyed! :)
