7:35pm. I stood in the kitchen preparing food. He should be home soon, he told me. He promised.

At 8pm he texted me that he was stuck in traffic on the highway. Traffic or not, he was still an hour or two away.

9:20pm rolled around and he'd still not arrived. I sat at the table and ate alone, hoping there'd be a jingle of keys at the door and he'd waltz in, propping his black boots up against the wall.

By the time it was 10:45pm I was ready to give up. I brushed my teeth, changed into one of his old shirts and turned out all the lights. I left my bedroom light on while I laid there and read a book for about half an hour. Then I got a call.

11:15pm.

"Hello?"

"Hiya" I croaked, my voice almost a whisper.

"Hey Y/N! Listen, I just remembered I got a package coming at some point so could ya keep an eye on the door for me?"

"Yeah of course. How far away are you?"

"The traffic's shifting but we've still got a while to go yet. I might not get in until you're asleep so don't worry about hanging around waiting for me."

"Oh. Yeah okay I was just about to head off to bed now anyway."

"Talk to you soon. Love ya."

"Love you too"

11:20pm. The day was almost over and it hadn't even started. Curse this stupid tour, I thought. For a long time I'd been excited to spend Eli's birthday with him. So I wasn't exactly chuffed when I found out they were touring America for two weeks at the start of August.

"Who the hell delivers a package at this time of night," I sighed, but stopped in my tracks when I opened the front door. "Oh my god."

There he was, Elijah Hewson, stood at my front door with a bouquet.

"Delivery for you" he smiled, handing me the flowers. I gratefully took them as he lit up a cigarette and leant against the doorframe.

"Why are you buying me presents? It's your birthday not mine," He just shook his head "happy birthday by the way."

"I'm sorry I was running so behind," he started, but I interrupted

"Running behind? I thought you'd run off and abandoned me."

Eli just shrugged. "Have you already eaten?"

"Yeah and I saved yours so you just gotta warm it up."

"You're a star."

For a few minutes there was an absence of dialogue, despite my mind whirring with thoughts as I tried to figure out what to say next.

I finally broke the comfortable silence with "Eli you look exhausted. Come inside." which prompted him to put out his cigarette and shrug off his leather jacket, taking off those same black boots and propping them up against the wall.

I left him to shower and get changed while I set the table for him and placed the flowers in a vase on the windowsill.

We sat together as he ate and I asked him about the show and soon enough he was opening up about everything that happened on tour, the good moments and the bad moments. Sometimes I wished I could be there with him, but they needed to do this on their own and not have any distractions.

"How are the other lads? Did they get you anything?"

"Well they're throwing a party tomorrow night which we gotta go to so that's enough."

"Right well have a lie in tomorrow, spend the day resting so we can go out in the evening." I said, kissing his cheek before getting up and putting the dishes in the kitchen.

"Do you maybe wanna watch a movie or something? Not if you're too tired though, I just wanna spend some time with you that's all" I suggested, trailing off at the end because I was uncertain of what his answer would be.

"Yeah course. Don't get mad if I fall asleep and start snoring though." He chuckled, a sound I hadn't heard for weeks. I always found it fascinating, and almost humbling in a way, how he bounced back to his usual self the second he steps foot in the house. Because it's his safe space, his comfort zone.

It was nearly 1am by the time the movie finished and Eli was laying with his head on my lap while I ran my fingers through his curls.

"Sorry again for missing my birthday. I really did wanna spend it with you." He mumbled sleepily.

I stopped my movements as I reassured him "I know, I know," I sighed "you're forgiven I suppose."

Eli sat up and stretched, yawning.

"Up to bed now I think." I croaked before standing up from the sofa and pulling him to his feet.

"Ugh can you carry me" He groaned, but I knew he was only joking.

I shook my head, about to say something, but when I opened my mouth I let out a yawn.

We held hands as we walked up the stairs and then jumped into bed, exchanging sleepy kisses.

"Happy belated birthday." I whispered, turning out the light

"I love you." He hummed, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close to him.

"I love you too."

The only sounds in the room were our deep breaths and a ticking clock, which eventually lulled us to sleep.
