i swear this has to do with the army but its happy not sad lol
Troye smiles slightly at Alex's stupid joke.
He watches as he and Chris kiss softly before grinning against each other's lips.
The three were out to lunch at the mall food court.
They hadn't hung out in a while.
Troye had a boyfriend named Jacob who was away on deployment.
He'd been gone four months already and he wasn't due to come home for another two and Troye hadn't been feeling the best.
His anxiety got the best of him, and his depression didn't help so much either.
"You guys are gross."
The couple laughs and looks at their friend.
"You're just jealous," Alex sighs.
Troye shrugs.
It's true.
He is jealous.
He wasn't going to deny it.
"It's gonna be okay, Tro," Chris states softly after a few moments.
"I-I know," Troye mumbles, not even believing it. "I just miss him."
"We understand. Being away from someone you love for as long as you have, I don't know how I'd cope. Especially if they're where Jacob is," Alex says softly.
Troye nods.
Chris leans down and whispers something in Alex's ear.
Alex glances behind Troye who is looking down at his food.
Alex grins as he realizes their plan was unfolding.
The couple watches as a familiar face walks towards them and stops halfway to the table.
He takes a deep breath and grins quickly straightening and fixing up his uniform.
"Hey, Tro," Alex says quietly.
"Yeah?" Troye replies and looks up at his friends.
"Look at that guy behind you. Don't make it obvious, but what the hell is he wearing?" Chris whispers.
Troye discreetly turns his head and acts like he's scratching his neck as he looks behind him.
He freezes.
He blinks and drops his arm to the table.
Slowly, he stands up and begins walking to the man in the camouflage uniform.
He covers his mouth as he gets closer and breaks into a sprint.
"Jakie!" he jumps into his boyfriend's arms, wrapping his arms around his neck, his legs around his hips.
Jacob hugs him tightly and lifts him higher in his grip.
Troye cries into the older man's neck and hugs his tighter.
"Oh my god, what are you doing here?" Troye sobs.
"I came to see my baby boy. Why else would I be here?" Jacob chuckles softly, holding back tears himself.
"I've missed you so much," the blond whispers hugging Jacob as tight as he could without cutting off his air supply.
"I've missed you, baby. Fuck, I've missed you so much, Troye."
Troye sniffles and pulls away enough to look at his boyfriend.
He cups his cheeks and softly presses his lips against the elder's.
"I love you," Jacob whispers when they pull away, their foreheads presses together.
"I love you so much, Jacob."
