Mikasa sat on the doorsteps of their new house locked out. She was the only one home since as far as she knew he had gone out of town on business. It didn't help that she wasn't feeling good either. Calling the tall boyfriend all she could do was cry during the voicemail, "I'm locked out and I don't feel good and---it just started fucking raining...I miss you." was all she could come with before more crying followed it then her hanging up.
It had been a long weekend dealing with the most mundane business he could imagine. The one thing that got him through it was knowing he would be lovingly welcomed home that day. He was standing outside refilling the car with gas so close to home he could taste it, when his phone started to vibrate inside the car. After he was finished he sat down and listened to the message.
He got home as fast he could without getting pulled over, to find her hunched over on the front step in the rain. He sighed with a weary smile and walked up next to her and draped his jacket over her wet shoulders, making her look even smaller. He put out his hand to help her up, “Come on babe, lets get you inside.”
