It was strange to be on the other end of the waiting game, wondering when you’ll be home and hoping you have time to call him that day.

The other day he went for a run in your neighborhood if only to look up at your window and wish you were inside.

His phone buzzed, jerking his feigning attention from the movie to see your face light up the screen.

Seb grinned when he slipped the video open, “Shouldn’t you be asleep?”

You rolled your eyes, “Please like you’re supposed to be awake.”

“How did it go?” He shifted, leaning into the armrest of the couch, feet propped up as he watched you stretch.

“Pretty well, we did location shots today,” You waggled your eyebrows at him, “I got to be a murder victim for once. In the morning they’re wanting to do the asylum shots and then I’m done. Babe, I agreed to do this for a friend, but I should have booked a hotel or something. My back? Not made for a couch anymore.” You made a face, nose scrunched up, and behind your head, Seb could see the arm of a blue couch tucked under your own red pillow.

“You’re not even thirty yet.”

“It’s the miles, not the year, Baby, and I’ve put a lot of miles on this puppy.” He laughed, barking out loud. He missed you so much it hurt.

“You’re going to get some sleep, right?” He could see the strain behind your eyes, the long hours getting to you, and no amount of de-puffer could cover it up.

“I took some sleeping pills. I’ll be okay and before we know it, I’ll be back home in my bed where I belong.” A dreamy look filled your eyes, your gaze falling right off the camera. Seb took a screenshot, winking as you glared at him.

“Would you like me to be in bed with you or is this a solo dream?”

You huffed, “You have a key now, by all means, crawl into bed scaring both my roommates and our cats. It’ll be a lovely thing to come home to.”

“Jedi adores me, as does Wes.”

“Bart and Lumi?”

“I think both of them secretly hate everyone you’re just pretending they don’t. When I had to come over to help you move your new frame in, I thought Lumi was going to pour hot coffee down my shirt and I’m pretty sure both Them and Bart hissed at me.”

You laughed, slower, eyes closing and a soft hum drawing out the sound, “I miss you.”

Seb smiled, “I miss you too.”

“What if-” You bit your lip, eyes closing again, longer this time before you opened them, “I didn’t go straight home when I got back?”

His heart pounded, a shiver of excitement went through his body, “Oh?”

A shrug, “I could get a cab back to your place — curl up in bed with you.”

He watched the nervousness fill your eyes, lip being tugged between your teeth as you tried to keep yourself stoic, “I agree,” He started, “that you should do that.”

You smiled, a blush painting your cheeks, and Seb couldn’t think straight, “You’re beautiful.” The phone dropped the only view was the ghost on your nightshirt as Seb heard you groaning over the line.

“One of these days you’ll get used to the compliments.” He joked, grinning as you came back into view and glared at him.

“It’s not so much the compliments as the man saying them, Stan.” Your nose wrinkles up as you stick your tongue out at him, “If we should call anyone of us beautiful it's you. Those eyes? Those lips? God damn.” You fanned your face, biting your lip, and Seb rolled his eyes.

“Okay, Mackie 2.0 take it down a notch or my ego might explode.” He missed your laugh.

Hell, he missed all of you.

“Two more months and your extended warranty expires.” You joke, teeth flashing in the light from your phone.

Seb raised a brow, “Pretty sure it’s after five years that it expires.”

“Details. The subtlety was there, the finesse not so much. Anyway, two months and the second year is up, 365 days baby.” A nervous laugh followed by your hand gripping the back of your neck and Seb wanted to reach through the screen to remind you he wasn’t going anywhere; two years in and he was still as hooked as he’d been from day one.

“Any special request for the day?” You blinked.

“Puppets.”

Seb hissed, grabbing his chest, “Damn, you knew exactly what I wanted.” Again that laugh made his chest swell, your eyes crinkling around the edges and there it was the little snort he loved so much.

He knew he was falling in love with you nearly a year ago, but between his own issues and the ones you advertised with a neon sign both of you were careful not to say anything. Don’t push it, but every time you smiled at him, laughed at him, every time your hand brushed the back of his own or you were so frustrated at him you stormed away he wanted to shout it from the rooftops. Scream it loud enough the whole damn world would know that he loved you to the moon and back and anywhere in between.

Watching you settle down, Seb bit his lip, rolled his neck and cracked a smile at you, “Its getting pretty late, Sugar.”

A yawn and a stretch followed by a slow nod, “You get some sleep too, okay?”

“Absolutely, Dear. Goodnight.”

You blew him a kiss, lips puckered up, and exaggerated kissing noises crackled through the phone, “Goodnight, I miss you.”

Without really meaning to Seb took a breath in, sent a kiss back, and said, “I love you, sweet dreams.” and before your eyes could widen any further and you counteracted his words, he hung up the call and stared at the screen, waiting, counting down the seconds-

The Majesty: You S.O. B that was my gift to you!

Seb smiled, turned his phone off, and thunked his head on the back of the couch. Missing you with a wide-open hunger more now than ever.

I hope you all enjoy it and I'm always open to request if you would like to see a particular moment between these two!!
