Butterflies were doing somersaults inside of her as she stepped into the corridor leading from the plane and out to the main block of the airport building.

She had turned her phone on as soon as it was allowed, and a text had laid there waiting for her. From Full Metal. Telling her that he was waiting outside in the arrival area.

She couldn't wait to be with him again. Could barely wait to sleep next to him again, feel his rough hands against her skin, press her face against his chest and breathe in his smell. She had missed all those little things.

She missed all of him.

"Damn, it's good to see that pretty face of yours again." He grinned as she walked through the sliding doors, "Not on a screen, I mean."

She smiled back as she stepped closer and wrapped her arms around his waist. She knew there wouldn't be an airport kiss, Metal wasn't like that. But, being spoiled with kisses was in her near future anyway, just as soon as they were in a more private location. "Good to see you too, soldier."

He leaned down and pressed his lips against the top of her head, about as close to a public kiss he'd allow himself in the daylight, "How was your flight?"

"Long…" she sighed, "Long and boring…"

He chuckled a bit, he had experience with public planes as well. He definitely preferred the military ones, even though the pilots had a tendency to climb to altitude a little faster, or descend faster upon landing. No one gave a military flight bad reviews which could affect an airline negatively. As long as the plane made it back on ground in a condition where it could be used again, everyone was happy.

At least in the military flights you could walk around and stretch your legs. Play poker and what not.

"So, are you tired?"

"No, but I need a shower…" she shrugged, "I feel like I reek flight-sweat."

"Trust me, you don't…" he smirked, "But I recognize the feeling…"

She nodded.

"Do you have anything on that list of things you need to get done once you make it back home after being away for long?"

"Quality time…" she shrugged, "With you. And visit mom and dad tomorrow or something…"

"Alright…" Metal nodded, "Wanna go home?"

She nodded against his chest.
