Work Text:
The door accidentally slammed shut “shit” he grumbled turning to lock the door. He took off his work boots aggressively unlacing them while thinking how late he was coming home. He took off his jacket and hung it up next to a variety of purses and colorful coats.
“Love, are you home?” a familiar voice called, making its way closer to greet him at the door.
He sighed, god the love of his life, his better half… His beautiful wife. They met in their last year of highschool, quickly becoming great friends because of their common interest in hobbies and movies, but after graduation he went off to the naval academy. With Bob being a WSO for the navy and her being off at school studying psychology across the country, their lives just never really matched up again for a while. Honestly through pure luck (or fate as he often thought) they both ended up in California for work at the same time. They never really kept in connact once finishing school –a decision they had both regretted– but one day they were reunited at the bar called Hard deck. –Thank god her friend had a thing for men in uniforms or else she wouldn't have gone by herself she loved to tell later when asked how they met. – Once in the bar the two quickly recognized each other and to his surprise it was Bob who came up first starting the conversation. This was the best decision Bob had and will ever make in his life, –well that and asking her to marry him.. that was a pretty good decision he made but that was more of a given then a decision, but asking to marry her was the easiest thing he could do– ever since then they have been together and coming up on a year of marriage.
She stood in front of him with a small smile on her face though looking slightly concerned from his attitude. “You alright, Bobby?” she asked, cupping his face.
He opened his mouth trying to think of an explanation but instead he just walked forward and pulled her in for a tight hug burying his face in her neck letting out a long exhausted sigh. They stayed there for a long time with him just staying there arms wrapped tight around her waist while she just toyed with his hair allowing him all the time he needed.
He stood up straight keeping his arm around her waist “Just… just a tiring day at work-” he muttered.
“Oh I'm sorry honey”
“Eh, it's fine nothing you could do…but I am glad to be home now,” he pulled away so they could leave the entryway of their house.
“Want to talk about it?” She offered, staying close to him knowing how he liked her close by when he was feeling irritated, she was his reminder in his life that yes, sometimes things worked out great for him.
“Ummm, later I'm…I’m just gonna shower first before dinner,” he sighed but leaned in and pressed a kiss to her hair.
“I would love to join you and… relieve some stress but I sadly have to finish up dinner,” she said with a wink trying to ease his mood.
Despite a year of marriage, half a year of dating, and many years of pining for her, just a simple wink from her turns him to goo. A faint but noticeable blush crossed his face and ears causing her to smile. “Ummm yes. Very uhh” he cleared his throat. “Yes, very sad uhh…” he stood there staring *god how did I get so so lucky* “I'm gonna go,” he mumbled, face heating up, realized he was staring and gestured towards their bathroom before walking off as she turned around to the kitchen as she rolled her eyes in a way only a woman madly in love could.
He walked to the bathroom quickly taking off his uniform and turned on the shower stepping in to decompress from his day at work.
Across the other side of the house she wandered around grabbing stuff from the Target bags on the counter. “ok ok let see…” she mumbled to herself. She grabbed the items figuring out the best way to arrange them. From the many bags she grabbed out a pack of Sprites that she quickly put in the fridge to cool to go with dinner. Along with that she put some of Bob’s favorite beer in case he would prefer that, despite him not really drinking mainly only when at The Hard Deck, but who knows tonight may be a beer night and she was ready if it was the case. Along with the drinks she pulled out some legos she had bought for them to build together, and one set she knows he’s been wanting since it came out for him to build by himself. Beside those she pulled out some of his favorite candies, a bouquet of flowers (daisies and irises similar to her wedding bouquet of their two favorite flowers), and lastly the DVD copy of the newest Marvel movie that came out recently that they both loved (she swears one of the main characters could be his twin though he denies it and says it’s only because the two have the same name.) She arranges them on the counter and finishes making dinner.
He’s in the middle of his shower when he just barely hears a knock over the sound of the shower. “Hey love?” she called out trying to be heard over the shower “I finished dinner if you want some company.”
He didn’t hesitate when he replied with “Come in!”
She walked into their bathroom and moved to sit on the counter beside the shower, allowing him to finish up his shower.
Wasn't long before he shuts off the shower and grabs a towel to tie around his waist. He gets out watching her gaze sink down low but then quickly fixes itself with a faint flush causing him to smile. “Hi darling.”
“Hi,” she mumbled a bit flustered thinking *god how did I get so so lucky*
He walked forward, stepping between her legs and rubbing her sides with his hands before letting out a long sigh “I- it was just a… very long annoying day,” he explained trying to find the words to explain his mood.
“I have something to admit,” she said knowing how he doesn’t usually like talking about work especially when it's a shitty day. “Phoenix did tell me how it wasnt a good day. She didn’t go into too many details and specifics!” She quickly added defending his pilot “but the main thing was it was a shitty day for you and she figured It should be something for me to know as your wife and knowing damn well you would try and hide it from me as much as you could.” She explained, running her hands up and down his arms as he stared at her.
“Really? She told you?” he asked, a bit stunned not realizing that the pilot noticed how much he was struggling today enough to tell his wife. He swallowed looking back at her “so… would you be ok if I didn’t really talk about it right now?’
“Of course baby, whatever you need.”
He nodded and leaned in to kiss her “how are you so perfect?” He cupped the back of her neck, fingers tangling in her hair pulling her close.
“Mmm we just got lucky I guess” she mumbled, emphasizing the ‘we’ to remind him that yes they were both lucky to have the other and how perfect they were for each other. Returning the kiss she pulled him forward so she could wrap her legs around his toweled waist to kiss him deeply.
He groaned and kept kissing until they both pulled away panting a bit. “We should…” he cleared his throat adjusting his towel blushing “uhhh I mean we can..” he started again before she stopped him “not tonight, well…not right now I was thinking tonight could just be a nice cozy evening in. I even bought legos~” she sing songed knowing that could capture his attention. His eyes shifted from a look of lust and need to well a different kind of excitement “really?! God you are perfect!” He exclaimed beaming brightly as if this is the best news he’s heard all day.
“Jeez can’t tell if you were more excited about the prospect of building legos or having sex with your wife” she teased before getting off the counter and walking out the bathroom.
“well…I love both in VERY different ways” he blushed, following her out and into their bedroom where he went to grab pajamas.
She just laughed and shook her head sitting down on their bed and watched him move about the room getting dressed. As she had been in her pajamas –one of his shirts and some sweats– since before he came home.
Once dressed in a hoodie and sweatpants they walked out back into their living room before he rushed over to the display she set up, looking at it with awe.
“So I bought some Sprite and Beer that are currently in the fridge to get cold, some of your favorite type of candies, a bouquet of flowers because I remembered how much you loved them when I brought you some a few weeks ago. Some legos for us to build together and the set you have been dying for so you can build something by yourself when you want, also got the new Marvel movie to play in the background while building. Ooo and I made you your favorite type of pasta for dinner” She smiled explaining what she has done. “Do… Do you like it all?” she asked hopeful that he appreciated her attempts to try and cheer him.
He just turned to kiss her again, this time not as heated as before but the same equal amount of passion and love. “It’s absolute perfect, you are perfect and I love you so so much words can not describe,” he whispered against her lips pulling her close to hold against him. They stay standing there in the kitchen for a bit just taking it all in, having a moment to relax and just be with the love of their life.
Eventually she pulled away from Bob “Pasta is done and I can dish some out for us and grab the drinks, do you want to set up a movie? I was thinking about the Marvel movie I just got but we can do whatever it’s a Bob night tonight!” She said going to grab some bowls out of the cabinets.
“That works perfectly baby” He said, grabbing the movie, removing it from its packaging and going into their living room to set it up.
“Is it a beer or Sprite kind of night?” she asked from the kitchen, digging in the fridge.
Earlier he would have said Beer, definitely beer, maybe even something stronger but as he thought about it he felt he didn’t really need it right now. Yes the day was very long and frustrating but since being home he’s simmered down all thanks to his loving wife who went out of her way during a busy day of her own to get all this stuff he loved for the two of them just because his pilot told her how he wasn’t having a good day. She didn’t need specifics or needed to be asked but she still did all this for him, because she loved him and wanted to feel better despite not knowing what was going on. “Sprite tonight my love,” he said to her surprise, but in the kitchen she pulled out a Sprite for him and a Diet Coke for her.
He stood up and walked up behind her as she plated the food wrapping his arms around her waist, face pressed in the crook of her neck leaving soft kisses. God he loved her so much pulling her close while mumbling so.
“God, someone’s affectionate this evening," she teased, stopping what she was doing and began rubbing his arms that held her, sinking into his touch.
“Mmm heaven forbid a man loves his wife,” he mumbled despite knowing she was just teasing.
“Never said it was a bad thing,” she said before turning her head to kiss his cheek and then going back to the food and handing him a bowl of pasta.
He reluctantly let go, grabbing the bowls and heading over to the couch. She followed after with the drinks. He sat down on his usual spot in the middle of the couch waiting for her already know she was going to sit on the left side –she preferred this side because it was the charging cable and the end table– leaning against the arm rest and putting her feet up on the couch waiting for him to grab them once he finished his food and placing them in his lap to massage her feet. He knew this was going to happen because it has been their routine ever since they moved in together and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Once they finished their food without having to, they gave each other a look and giggled smiling. He rushed to stand up going to sit on the floor and she went to grab the lego tree set she bought for the two of them. She brought it over and they got to work building while the movie played in front of them.
“I’m telling you honey! He looks just like you.”
“And I'm telling you it just because his name is also Bob!... and maybe the eyes… and face shape and…crap.”
“HA See! I was right! You look scarily like him.”
“Mmm I see I’ve been proven wrong…”
“You say this like it’s a new thing.”
“Who's the actor…?”
“Mmm~ Lewis pullman~”
“...you said that way too quickly… and…dreamily~ awww hon do you have a celebrity crush?~”
“Shut up!”
“Awww you’re blushing~”
“God you are the worst-”
Once the lego set was finished –which was proudly set on a self in the living room next to their other set they built– and the movie was over, they went back on the couch to watch some romcom about a character faking an engagement to a man in coma, but this time they laid out on the couch together with Bob resting in between her legs laying his head on her stomach while she played with his hair.
“Thank you honey” He mumbled against her skin “for this night, for caring just…for everything.” She just bent down and kissed his hair.
“He turned to face her easily still laying on her lap “The day started off bad just because of traffic and getting on base which caused me to be late requiring me to do 50 push ups, then we got chewed out for a mistake one of the junior pilots did but since they didn’t know who it was we all go yelled at. Then we had to do this training exercise and Jake being hangman or well bagman just screwed me and Nat over and because of a stupid bet someone made we had to do 200 push ups, then the rest of the day was just mind numbing WSO task and thanks to more traffic I got home way latter then intended” He explained his day feeling a bit stupid cause well it wasn’t the worst day but it just really affected him for some reasons.
“Oh honey, I’m so sorry,” she whispered, rubbing his back. “It seems like a shitty day.
“It’s- nothing I’m not sure why it affected me so much sorry I made it into an issue for you.” Bob mumbled
“Oh love, don't apologize for that! You didn’t make it an issue for me. I'm always happy to go out of my way to do something for you, it’s not an issue or a chore. I want to do stuff like this for you if I think it will help. Besides, I chose to do this! I wasn’t asked or told to do it because I wanted to take care of my loving husband because I know if the roles were reversed you wouldn’t even have hesitated to do something similar.” She bent her head and kissed him getting worked up “So don’t apologize or feel guilty or sorry or whatever’s going on in that overthinking head of yours and just let me love and care for you god damnit~”
He nodded “Yes Ma’am” sitting up pulling her closer to him to get a better angle to kiss her.
He sat up fully against the couch pulling her on top of him, hand moving up and down her back, groaning as she nipped his bottom lip “Mmmm sweetie~”
She gripped his hair pulling him as close as he could be to her. She nipped his lip again causing him to groan which she took full advantage of by deepening the kiss, their tongue tangling together in his mouth. “Mmm I love you…” she moved down to suck marks on his neck. He groaned, quickly taking off his glasses as fast as he could.
He gripped her hips hard enough she was gonna have imprints the next day –not that either mind– letting out a needy “jeez baby…god I need you so bad…” She nodded rolling her hips against him “....agreed” she mumbled breathless.
He grabbed the underside of her thighs pulling her close, her legs wrapping around his waist as he lifted her up flawless –Thank you navy~– her lips still leaving marks around his neck and collarbone as he walked to their bedroom.
He placed her on the bed before stepping back and taking off his shirt as her eye roamed up and down his body biting her lip. He crawled on top of her leaning down whispering in her ear “I need you so bad pretty girl~”
~~~
She threw her arm over face, still panting, when she finally came back to reality. He was still slumped on top of her breathing hard, face pressed against her chest tracing over marks he left on the inside of her thighs. “Jesus baby…” he mumbled, pressing soft kisses on her chest. “You did so good~” She just groaned in response.
Reluctantly Bob sat up pressing her a kiss to the forehead “I’ll be right back” he whispered before putting on his discarded boxers and walking to the kitchen to grab some water and a Diet Coke also stopping by the bathroom to grab a cloth to get wet with warm water to clean her up.
He walked back in love with the sight that greeted him, His stunning wife leaning against the headboard wearing one of his shirts. He walked over pressing another kiss to her forehead, setting down the drinks for her and moved to sit on the bed beside her. “Hi pretty girl, can I clean you up? Or would you prefer to do that?” he asked softly.
“Can you?” she mumbled looking up at him, eyes drooping sleepily as she sipped her water.
“For you?.. God baby I would do anything~” he said moving to sit in her spread legs cleaning up their combined messes.
She sat there with a smile on her face watching the careful and efficient way he cleaned her up careful to be gentle where she was sore –which lets be honest is everywhere–
Once he was finished he got up again putting the cloth in the sink to leave for the morning and walked back getting in bed pulling the covers up around the two of them. She moved closer to lay her head on his chest as they snuggled up for the night. He traced lazy patterns on her skin holding her close as they stayed there thinking about the moment they just shared, just relishing in the shared love and comfort they felt with each other.
“I love you so much, thank you for everything…” he whispered against her hair. She gave a little nod, already half asleep. “I… love you too…”
Once she was fully asleep he whispered “You’re… the most important part of my life… I’m beyond lucky to be yours…” and with that he fell asleep tangled with the love of his life not even remembering about the day he had.
