âI will call you once i finish with the mission, okay?â was what Gavin told you 4 days ago.
You stop working on your laptop, trying to reach your phone. Aside from chats from your colleagues about the project youâve been working on, you donât see the name youâve always hope to pop on your screen. Gavinâs name. You threw your phone across the room and it landed on your bed, so you wonât get distracted and wanting to grab the phone for who knows how much since Gavin went for his mission.Â
Surely you realize his working can be demanding. Being a captain for Special Task Force who work in the shadow to make sure all people of Loveland can sleep the night and live with peace from EVOLâs terrorists, also a police officer, a captain of SWAT team at that, it surely took most of his time to work. You understand that. Besides, youâre also busy with working projects that seemed like...endless from your superior, Victor. So also being busy keeps your mind off from being lonely. But alas, even if youâre so proud of Gavin, you canât help but worrying about his safety. But Gavin always come back alive, even if with more wounds and scars, heâs alive.
You yawned, closing the laptopâs screen decide to call it a day and go to sleep. Itâs almost 1AM in the morning and you have a board meeting tomorrow with Victor. You canât be late, of course. Switching the light off, you placed your phone beside you on bed after setting the several alarms to wake you up tomorrow. You got comfortable in bed, covering your whole body with the blanket, inhaling Gavinâs smell from the blanket. Ever since the two of you decided to live together and purchasing a bigger bed, the bed feels so much bigger without Gavin on your side. You frown but quickly shove the thoughts of being lonely away from your mind. You need to sleep.
As I sleep, some time
I feel your voice putting me to sleep
And your hair tickling me
You open your eyes slowly as you can feel someoneâs hand on your waist. You see Gavinâs face right across from yours. You blinked several times, not believing that it really is Gavin who is laying beside you right now, still awake. Heâs surprised to see you wake up but then smile, caressing your head.
âDid i wake you up? Iâm sorry.â Gavin murmurs.
You shake your head. âWhen did you come home?â you ask, with a hoarse voice from sleep.
Itâs 3:45AM.
âNot too long ago. I was about to call you but you must be sleeping and i donât wanna wake you up.â Gavin says, apologetically.
You smile, snuggling to him burying your head to his chest. âWelcome home.â You practically hugging him by putting your hand on his back. âDid you get hurt?â you ask again.
âIâm home. And no, iâm okay.â Gavin replies, kissing the crown of your head.
Your heart swells with happiness as you inhale Gavinâs scent. You can smell his soap, signing that he took a shower before joining you in bed. Gavin smells like home to you. Refreshing with a light musk, reminding you of summer.
âYou should go back to sleep. Donât you have work later?â Gavin reminds you.
âI do have a meeting this morning.â you groan.
âYouâll do fine. Victor has no way to refuse the project youâve been working on for weeks.â Gavin rests his palm on the back of your head, rubbing it slowly. Just the right amount to make you yawn again. You nod in his arm, trying to make yourself comfortable as you close your eyes.
âNow go back to sleep, thereâs still time until 7AM. Iâll take you to work later.â Gavin says.
How could I be asleep
How could I be asleep
In your embrace, inside it, snugly
I put my hands together and rest
You are the largest star I have
So good night, A bright light and I
If the daybreak finds me
Iâll be submerged in countless thoughts
You feel Gavinâs even steady breathing as heâs sleeping. You raised your head to see his peaceful face, almost like a child even. His soft vulnerable expression makes your heart swell again, adoring your boyfriendâs sleeping face. He has dark circle on his eyes, he must be tired and havenât had any sleep while heâs away on his mission. Despite that he has long eyelashes, making you jealous by how long and thick it is. You raise your hand to touch his cheek, afraid that you might wake him up, but Gavin is still sleeping, he must be exhausted from the mission and you take the opportunity to traced your index finger on his smooth skin, along his jaw. Gavin is known as the handsome and a bit lonewolf officer, who is always serious in his work. But this side of Gavin, is only for you to see.
You snuggled closer to him and hold his hand.Â
And in the sleepless night
Iâll be in your embrace endlessly
To you at daybreak
More passionately than during the day
You wonder how many nights you spend sleeping next to Gavin like this. If heâs not out on his missions you would lay next to him like this, listening to his heartbeat and his even breathing--sometimes heâd snore but you donât mind. Gavinâs usually a light sleeper due to him being an officer--being alert at all times and there are times where he would be called for mission right when both of you were sleeping. For him being in a deep sleep like this, itâs kind of rare. But you appreciate all of it. Sleeping in Gavinâs embrace always feel safe and you grow addicted of having arms around your waist, as if keeping you safe, even in sleep.
Between curtains, faintly illuminating me
A white moonlight and yeah
Filling the room, even the cold air
Feels beautiful because of the light that is you
Full moonâs light up the room slightly, it shines right through Gavinâs face. Gavin always tell you that youâre beautiful, even if your mouth was full of chocolate cakes he bought for you, even if you just woke up from your sleep with a trace of drool on your chin, even if youâre crying because of the drama you watched.
âDonât you know that youâre also beautiful?â you murmur softly, feeling Gavinâs chest rise and fall in sync with you.
You were scared of him back in high school, despite that he was always look out for you from a far. Even if Gavin was really scary at that time, him back then still had the same kindness he had today. The way he carried you when you were passed out in PE class, the way his eyes met yours when you were in library, or the times you found him climbing the old ginkgo tree outside of practice room.
The rough senior has grown into a sweet man he is today. Or maybe, heâs always this handsome from your high school years, if heâs not always covered in bandages and bruises.
I see a shifting image
We have a common dream
Even if itâs imaginary
I pretend to be okay
You probably are the same
But at the end of the day
We are together
Gavinâs line of work always makes you worry. He rarely has days off, even if he does he almost never spend it on rest, he will always spend it with you. There was time when you asked Gavin to go the shooting location at the nearby lake, knowing he was just came back from mission you told him to not come but he did come anyway.
He was visibly tired. But he came anyway.
You remembered your heart swelled when you found Gavin sleeping under the tree after the shootingâs over, waiting for you to finish. You remember you were crying when you saw a bandage peeking through his shirt. He was hurt. But still he came. You remember he woke up, panic was evident in his face as he cupped your face, apologized if he make you angry. And he was confused as you told him âGavin, you dummy.â
The Gavin said âI come here because i miss you so much. I wanna meet you as soon as possible. Is that...is that wrong?â made you moved in to his apartment.
Itâs fine if the same day repeats
Even the reversed day and night
My mind was filled waiting for you
And Iâm happier for it now
Like a habit
Hug me tight
And donât let me go, more
Take me to the dream
â...why donât you sleep?â Gavinâs sudden question made you flinched. But Gavin held your hand in his tightly. His eyes fluttered open.
You canât help but peck his lips.
âI donât know, youâre too handsome when youâre sleeping..maybe?â you tease. Gavin chuckles, pinching your waist playfully.Â
âBut i prefer you to sleep with me.â Gavin says, kissing your eye. You nods and once again, scoot closer to him.
âI..i hope we can stay like this forever.â you say, listening to Gavinâs heartbeart.
Gavin hummed. âAs much as i want that to happen, both of us are working. You have a meeting this morning too.â Gavin states the fact, making you pout.
âGavin, youâre not fun.â you sigh, poking his chest. Gavinâs light chuckle warm your heart.
âYou know, Gavin, i donât mind waiting for you to come back home.â you say, out of the blue. Gavin hummed, waiting for you to finish. âIf i can sleep in your arms again, i donât mind waiting for you when youâre out for your missions. I do hope you wonât get hurt out there, though. My mindâs filled by waiting for you and itâs okay. I always happy when you come home.â you rambles, sleepiness is beginning to take on you.
Gavin hummed again as he traced circle on your back, as if lulling you to sleep.
âHug me, donât let me go.â you mumbles as you fall asleep.
Gavin kissed your forehead. âHow could i? When the girl iâve been crushing with finally with me?â he closes his eyes and drift back to sleep.
