"I love to have this huuuuuuge bed all to myself."
Tony rolls around and takes in as much space as he possible can.
"Yep best thing on earth." He says as he tries to convince himself.
He rolls around for a few more minutes, but he finally gives up. He sits up and rubs his eyes. 2:48 his alarm reads. He knows that there is no way he going to be able to sleep now. Still wide awake he grabs his phone and presses speed-dial number one.
"McGee" a sleepy voice at the other side of the line says.
"Hey Tim" he says with a sheepish smile.
"You couldn't sleep without me." Tim states as he tries to repress a yawn.
"Tssk!" Tony says "i have this big bed all by myself, I just wanted to check on you man."
Tim isn't fooled for a second and waits patiently.
"Yeah, I miss you." Tony confesses with a sigh after a few silent seconds. He can almost hear Tim smirking on the other side of the line. "Why have a big bed when you're not sharing it with anyone?"
"Love you too" Tim says before he ends the call.
Tony smiles as he lets himself fall back in the bed. There is no point in deniying it, his bed feels empty and cold without Tim. He gets out of bed and opens the door to the living room.
"come on Jethro." he says beforing getting back in bed. Seconds later there is a warm furry body next to him. "Just two more days until he comes bacn from that stupid converence." he says and Jethro's whine gives Tony the assurance he needs to fall asleep.
