Steve is coming home after a long mission to you - his loving S.O.

⊱ ────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ────── ⊰

You had missed Steve a lot and he had missed you too.

You always missed him when he went on missions, and a lot of the time, you missed him horrifically because of the fear that he wouldn't come home and some else would come to the house you both shared to tell you some awful news or, even worse, you would be left with no explanations or answers and all alone.

But now, the technology had been made so that Steve could contact you while it stayed safe from hacking by those the Avengers were hunting down. However, seeing Steve's face for even a few minutes every couple of days or so, both reassured you and made you dreadfully miss him, just making you want to count the days, hours, minutes and seconds until you could see that face of the man you loved so much again in person.

He would always do adorable things, like ending every single call by pretending to throw a kiss, across the screen, all the way back home to you and insisted every time that you "catch it" and honestly, it was killing you not to be able to kiss him in person, instead of catching air kisses as you're both hundreds of miles from one another.

It had been one long last week leading up to him returning to you, and there had been tears when he had came back one day, bloodied and black-eyed, after a surprise attack. It had felt like a century as you had desperately waited for more news after the chat was cut short, pacing and biting your nails, but, eventually, you found out everything was back on track and your boyfriend was safe. He always promised that he would always come back to you, always protect you, always return home. And he always did. And you couldn't be more grateful for it, for him, and for all the other Avengers for keeping him safe. You'd go mad without your beautiful Steve, keeping you grounded and sane, reminding you you were loved. The Avengers had become like another family and accepted you for Steve's sake too.

Although you had promised yourself that you would stay up until Steve arrived back to your house safely, the seconds, minutes and hours were ticking on and your eyelids were becoming heavier and heavier. You hadn't even realised that sleep had swept you up in its silent embrace until a different pair of arms had softly wrapped around you. Your eyes flew open and there was Steve's loving face, grinning at you in such a Steve way, with his soft eyes and beautiful smile. You didn't need to move very far to throw yourself fully on top of him, as his arms were already around you, and you planted kisses upon his whole face.

You had missed him so goddamn much.

And he had missed you too.

The two of you lay on your couch for a while just embracing one another, holding each other as close as possible after being so far apart. Slowly, you had drifted into a comfortable and sound sleep, the first time properly since Steve had left. Soundlessly, Steve scooped you up in his arms, and carefully carried up the stairs to the bedroom that the two of you shared. You snuggled into his chest. Warm. Protected. Safe.

As Steve placed you gently into the bed and climbed in beside you, he whispered soft words of comfort and love, words he had so missed being able to see freely to you, his love.

"I love you," he whispered. "And you're so much more important than any mission."
