One-shot Summary: The seemingly repetitive routine you have come to dread when Chris is still away on a mission late into the night
Being in a relationship with a SWAT officer was always going to be hard, this was something not only Chris but everyone you had ever confined in about your relationship, made sure to remind you.
Despite this and all the doubts Chris had about you wanting that in your life, you stuck around.
Because you love her.
Though that didn’t make going to bed alone, worried sick, any easier. Due to the uncertainty of the missions she would be called on, you never really knew when she would get back to you.
So you would go about your daily routine, going to work, cleaning, cooking and so on. Prolonging the inevitable event of cuddling around your girlfriend’s pillow trying to find the comfort in her scent while you fall asleep for another night, alone.
And no matter how many times Chris told you not to worry about her, you still did. So you tossed and turned in your sleep, never being able to shake the cold vacant spot next to you. Though little did your sleeping body know, that not that long ago the sound of the lock to your apartment door clicking echoed through the crisp night air.
Silence welcoming Chris home after a long day’s work.
So she shrugged her boots off, took off her jacket, put her duffel away and started heading through the dark flat. Grabbing a glass of water from the kitchen and making her way into the bathroom connected to your shared master bedroom. Making sure to walk quietly, she went and got ready for bed having a quick shower to clean off.
The calming pitter patter of the shower water dozed you from your slumber, as you turned to face away from the bathroom light on your side of the bed, your sleepy hazed brain not comprehending just yet what said light meant.
So you instantly relaxed when you felt two toned, strong arms wrap themselves around your waist, pulling you into a soft yet well built chest from behind. A familiar feeling of relaxation and glee returning to you when you felt your girlfriend nuzzle into the crook of your neck.
‘Sweet Dreams Mi Amor,’ Chris whispered, placing a kiss to your neck, as you both dozed off into a relaxing night’s rest.
