Your keys jingle noisily as you slip your house key into its lock, twisting the handle to your front door with a heavy sigh and a tired smile. It had been a long drive home from your college campus, and finally, spring break was here.
There isn’t a large get-together or crowd waiting for you when you let the door swing open. In fact, there isn’t anyone waiting for you at all. There is absolute silence in front of you, and you can’t help but feel the excitement in your stomach turn into an onset of sorrow.
You shut the door with a palm flat against it, and you allow your forehead to rest against the cool wood while you try to gather your wits. It shouldn’t hurt this much to come home to an empty house, but here you were, tears gathering in your eyes because of your lonesome welcome.
You were so lost in your thoughts that you didn’t hear the soft footsteps padding toward you, or the soft clear of his throat as he waited for you to turn around.
With your eyes downcast to the wooden floor underneath your feet, you don’t see his chest until you are being wrapped up in his arms. He doesn’t say anything for a moment, simply pressing a tender kiss on your temple.
A shaky sigh leaves your lips as a single tear trails down the curve of your cheek and you whisper, “Levi...”
Levi hums delicately, softly caressing the small of your back as he pulls back ever so slightly. The faintest smile hangs on his lips before his grey eyes lock onto your own (colored) ones and he murmurs, “Welcome home, Y/n.”
You lean back into him with tear-filled eyes, and Levi tugs you to his chest by your waist, leaning forward to press a sweet and caring kiss onto your pouty lips. You find yourself wrapping your arms around his neck, one hand traveling to smooth over the short hairs of his undercut.
Levi’s kiss is soft and warm, drawing you away from reality to only him. One of Levi’s hands travels from your waist to rest on the small of your back for just a moment, lingering at the small dip in your spine before continuing lower.
His warm hand slips into the back pocket of your jeans, fingers ever so slightly kneading the soft flesh under them, an appreciative groan slipping out between hot kisses.
Levi only pulls away when he feels you tug on his dark locks twice, signaling you needed to pull away for some air. Levi doesn’t stray too far though, pulling away from your lips to leave a tingling kiss on the tip of your nose.
You can only blink at Levi a little dreamily, and Levi could almost smile at how enchanted you looked. He regains your attention by digging his fingers back into the flesh of your ass and whispering, “Let’s go to the couch, sweetheart.”
You simply nod and allow him to grab your bag from off of your shoulder, setting it on a small coffee table while dragging you into the wide living room. The couch was made up of fluffy pillows and blankets, and you could have cared less about not sleeping on your bed.
Levi flops down onto the couch first, rolling over before patting his chest, his raven-colored bangs tossed messily over his forehead. His silver eyes were soft and full of love, simply happy to have you home and in his arms again.
You shuck off your outer jacket quickly, diving onto the couch before crawling over to Levi, scooching between his parted thighs to find your place on his torso. You rest your head just under his chin, letting your ear press against his broad chest to hear the prominent thumps from his heart.
You feel Levi’s arms wrap around your waist, accepting the weight of your body like a freshly warmed blanket. You don’t notice how your eyes flutter closed in content, but Levi carefully watches you as you try to leave your stresses behind.
Levi can’t help but think you look peaceful as the harsh lines on your furrowed brow start to cease, and the downward slope of your lips becomes flatter, and he wills them to curve into a shy smirk.
You slowly melt and relax in Levi’s arms, one of his hands slowly traveling to the back of your head, where he runs his fingers through the (colored) locks ever so gently. His other hand rubs small circles on your back, his nimble fingers applying more pressure when he felt a small bump or knot in your muscles.
Under his calculated and deliberate touches, you find yourself nodding off in his arms, the inviting scent of Levi and the warmth he provides you lull you off into dreamland.
Levi soon feels his own drowsiness start to take over, his eyes burning slightly even though he tries to will them open so he can gaze upon your sweet face. He gives in to his exhaustion though, subtly tightening his grip on you while tugging a blanket over the two of you, enjoying your presence before also being pulled under by sleep.
It may not have been the grand and welcoming surprise party you had expected, but being near and close to your lover was a more than enough "welcome home" for you.
