I'm obsessed with this story. No shame.
I don't own RvB.
"Leon, baby, it's time to wake up." Allison whispered into Leonard's ear. That didn't work. She frowned, and then she climbed on top of him. "Leonard." she said, this time more firmly. Still nothing. She then had a different idea. She began to trail kisses up his neck until she reached his lips. She felt him wake up, responding to the kiss.
"You should wake me up like that more often." She giggled and then moved to get up, but he caught her and pulled her into another kiss.
"Leon, we gotta get dressed, we have to go pick up your parents." She said, breaking the kiss.
"Yeah, but we have to take a shower before we get dressed, don't we?"
"touche." She rolled out of bed and he picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him.
"Morning guys." Tucker called sarcastically when they opened the door. Tex flipped him off, and then the bathroom door slammed.
...
"What should I even wear?" Church asked when he finished brushing his teeth.
"Wear something normal." She responded, straightening her long blonde hair.
"What even is normal?" He panicked. She rolled her eyes, walked in their room and pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She then proceeded to throw it at an unsuspecting Church, shouted "NORMAL!" and then laugh hysterically. Then, she grabbed a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a blue tank top for herself.
"You're going to freeze." He told her when he saw her.
"No I'm not, I'll be fine." She responded. He shrugged and opened the door.
"Dear God it's cold out here." She said the second they stepped outside. He rolled his eyes, slipped his jacket off and gave it to her. She kissed him on the cheek and thanked him. It was about an hour drive to the airport in which they spent the entire time singing to the radio in voices of various celebrities. When they got there, or rather when they found a parking space, he took her hand and they navigated to the baggage check for their flight. While they were waiting, they sat down and he put his arm around her. She set her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
"Leonard?" His mom asked and he looked up.
"Al, they're here." He said, she snapped her head up.
"Sorry, our flight was really delayed." His mom apologized. "Hello, Leonard. You've changed so much." She said, giving him a hug. "Hello, Allison." She turned to greet her.
"Hi, Mrs. Church. It's been awhile." Allison responded, shaking her hand.
"Leonard, Allison." Church's father addressed them and he stepped protectively in front of his fiancee.
"Dad."
"It's alright, Leon." He heard Allison's voice whisper in his ear. He then realized he had a death grip on her hand.
"Help me." He whispered back to her.
"So, we're going to take you guys to your hotel to drop off your stuff, and then we thought that maybe you'd like to have lunch at our apartment? Our roommate should be gone for the afternoon." They agreed.
"Here, mom." Leonard said as he took his mom's bag, not letting go of Allison's hand. They lead the way to the car, putting the bags in the trunk.
"Leon, you're shaking." She whispered, a look of concern crossed her face.
"I'm pretty nervous. Can you drive?" She nodded, taking the keys from his pocket. It was silent, until Leonard's mom broke the silence.
"Where are you working now, Leonard?" She asked.
"Actually both of us still work with the military. We live by a base. I work special weaponry, maintaining and fixing any and all weapons that need it." He replied, relieved she was only asking about work.
"What about you, Allison?"
"I run boot camp, training new recruits for specific battle situations."
"Why did you join the military?" Leonard's dad spoke up for the first time since the airport.
"Leon and I talked about it for about a year, and we just decided it was where we wanted to go with our lives." Allison responded.
"You both keep saying 'we' as if there was no separation." his dad remarked.
"That's because there isn't, dad. Let me set something straight: there is no me without her, and I want to try and patch things up with you guys, but if you can't accept that, then we should just turn the car around and take you right back to the airport." He stated firmly. A look of shock crossed their faces.
"Fair enough." His father responded. The rest of the car ride was silent. Allison pulled the car into the hotel, and his parents went to check in.
"Was I too harsh?" He asked her when they were alone. She kissed him.
"I've been wanting to do that since the airport." She kissed him again. He sighed and leaned his forehead against hers. "There is no me without you, either."
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too, so much." She responded.
"Here they come...let's get this over with." He sighed.
