A/N: Just another short ficlet, this one taking place during the House of Cards time period. Specifically that very night. Hope you enjoy.
It was late when he came home that night, still tired and angry over what had happened earlier. Tommy and his Rangers knew his secret now. He was Mesogog and while the monster had felt his son had betrayed him, he knew he had in fact betrayed his son.
Though now even as he was making his way into his bedroom he kept the lights off, not wanting to wake the beauty on her side of what he now considered to be their bed. She was still none the wiser of what had happened today and deep down he wanted to keep it that way.
Even from five feet away he could see how peaceful she seemed as she slept and the last thing he wanted was to ruin that. Especially with this kind of news.
"Hey," she breathed as she felt him climb into bed beside her moments later.
"Hi," he replied, his voice just above a whisper.
"When did you get in?" she asked as she nuzzled into him, fitting her slim frame to his.
"A few minutes ago. Go back to sleep." They were happy in her dreams, he knew and never did he want to spoil that. He could only hope to soon make that dream of hers a reality.
"Goodnight, Anton," the petite blonde told him as she moved as close to him as she could.
"Goodnight, Cassidy," he replied as he put an arm around her. It was then his troubled thoughts were beginning to fade from his mind. He was home now. This was his home, not the island fortress. This is where his life was, not there. He was home, with her, where he knew he – where they, he corrected himself, belonged.
The End
