Jez still called it her home. It wasn’t even a conscious thing. She had simply been living on her own for as long as she possibly could, having left the family home as soon as she was able and never looking back. She had her own space for most of her adult life and while sometimes people would spend the night- it used to be Kai crashing on her couch when his funds ran out again, later on Tony when he didn’t want to head back to his own place for the night that was spending the night- but it was always her home. It was taking a while for her mind to adjust to it being other than that any longer. And so every time she referred to it as that, as her home rather than theirs? She visibly flinched. Yeah, some things were harder to switch around in your head than others.
Perhaps it was because in some ways they rarely saw each other. Their schedules didn’t exactly match up most days so a lot of the time unless one of them had the day off- or on the rare occasions when they both did, they were often like two ships passing in the night. It could feel like living on your own as it was. But some nights when she could Jez made sure to stay up so she could at least see Tony for a little while before crashing so she could get up for her shift the next day. Maybe one day their schedules would be easier. One could always hope.
The sound of the door clicking open and shut again made Jez pause for a moment in pulling her hair back. “Long night?” the blonde called out from the bedroom as she continued pulling her hair back and headed out of the living room to meet him. She’d take whatever chance she got to see him.
With her being a police officer and him being the security, seen each other was not as usual as most relationships out there. But they lived together now, so even when days where long, or hard, they still came back to the other, for a nice warm cuddly sleep.
Tony wasn't expecting Jez to be awake, he wasn't sure if he was the reason why she was still was up or if some work has keeping her awake. He took of his jacket and the minute he saw the blonde woman he went to pick her up and kiss her.
"I'm sure not as long as yours" he kissed the tip of her nose "What are you still doing up, I was kind of sure you would be asleep by now?"
