@famebounded asked: Why do month long trips to shoot a movie have to be both a blessing and a curse? At least he was done, and he flew home a couple days ago, but he still found himself trailing Cat like a puppy. After he plopped himself down on the couch, he rested his head upon lap. Whatever she was doing in that moment had to be put on hold. A smirk and he quickly pressed a quick kiss to her chin. "Hope you don't mind me just laying here for the next. Couple days." Not literally, but man. He missed her.
KYLIE ASKED FOR SOFT THINGS BECAUSE SAD
THE MONTH HAD BEEN LONG. Not that being alone was difficult for her; it was a feeling she had known for far longer than the time he was away... but Cat had discovered that being inside a HOME didn’t mean that she felt as if she were. Her home was not the building that she slept in, it was not where she ate and drank and lounged throughout the days. Her home was him, and when he had to go somewhere far from where she could be for a movie? Well. It was h o m e l e s s n e s s all over again ( though on a more metaphorical scale than literal, and one she preferred over what she had endured for years, of course ). If he hadn’t taken to trailing her around, there was a strong chance that it would have been herself doing as such.
Thus, she didn’t mind even a smidge when he was never too far from her. Heart warmed with the fact, even. It created a small fire that licked within her chest. Even though it had been a few days by then since his return, she still wasn’t bothered, and honestly just wanted to stop and wrap about him for cuddling, letting his taller and stronger form swallow her up. Yet, her image demanded to be upheld, so she tried to do what she needed to get done and feign like she wasn’t so desperate to be with him.
However, her task list wasn’t too fruitful. In fact, it was a solid empty. Not like she had a job or the like, yet. Helping with the charities she had gotten involved with during her community service was the closest she came... but those weren’t exactly bogging her down with things to get accomplished. Chores ere all that was left, but Scott wasn’t exactly lacking in the money department, so there was hired help around, as well. Thus, her n e x t move was to go to the couch, pretend as though she needed to read some form or another, but really just settle to be with him.
It worked like a charm, and as he gave her a kiss and got comfortable, she tossed the paper she held to the side so she could flop over and nestle up into him. Delighted smile stretched her features, a shine to her eyes that had developed ever since starting to become HEALTHY... Hand traced his face, shaking some with the excitement hitting her. He was back, she was home... There was no reasonable explanation for how she got so lucky. Their story was strange, but it was theirs.
“Only if y’don’t mind me getting comfortable right here with you. I could jus’ be beside you forever, Angel. I’m so glad you’re home so I can be, too. I love you more than the whole world... Except maybe doughnuts an’ my future duck. But you’re a super close third.”
