LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE OFFICIALLY WROTE MY FIRST EVER MILKPLANE FANFIC, SO SIT BACK AND ENJOY
Welcome home soldier
It's finally time for Steven to go on leave for the army, this wasn't anything new to him, while he was packing his uniform his dad walked in
"Hey boy I see your packing you things"
"Yup, making sure I've got everything I need"
"I hope everything goes well boy, stay safe" he patted Stevens shoulder gently
"Of course it will, this ain't my first rodeo, I'm sure everything will me fine"
"Man Im surprised Francis is so calm about this"
Suddenly something clicked in Steven, he forgot to tell Francis he was going on leave, and he's never went on leave while in a relationship, god how was he gonna tell him, his face shifted into one of worry
"Something wrong boy?"
"Dammit I forgot to tell Francis I was gonna go on leave" he pinched the bridge of his nose mumbling
"Ah don't worry boyo I can tell him for you, I'm sure he'll take it just fine"
"You sure dad? I know he's a deadpan son of a bitch but he's still got feelings"
"He's a grown man, he'll understand, I promise"
"If you say so then, I trust you".
A few hours later it was time for Steven to leave, he hugged his dad tightly before walking off
"Bye dad!"
"Bye son! Be safe!"
In that moment Francis walked up to mclooy
"Mmm morning Mr. Mclooy, where's Steven going this early? It's a Saturday"
"He's going on leave-"
Francises face went to one of shock
"He's what!?"
"Yeah, bein in the army means you gotta go on leave"
Francis ran out the apartment as fast as he could, he at least wanted to say goodbye.
Steven was just about to go before he felt something grab his hand, he turned around to see Francis looking worried
"Hey Franci, you goo-"
Before he could finish his sentence he was cut off my Francis
"Your going on leave!?"
Steven wasn't used to Francis raising his voice, so that slightly shook him
"Yeah, sorry I forgot to tell you, I was just busy getting ready"
Francises heart ached, he hated seeing Steven leave, especially when it was for a long period of time
"When will you be back?"
"I promise to be back soon, I should be back in like 2 months, it's a short leave"
Francises heart was being ripped apart, his eyes swelled with tears
"What if something happens to you? What if you get hurt!?... Or worse... What if you don't come back?"
"Oh Francis, you don't need to worry, I'll be fine... I promise"
Francis gently took off Stevens glasses to see his green eyes for the last time this month, he gently put a hand on his cheek and planted a kiss on Stevens forehead
"I love you" the only words that could come out of Francises mouth without breaking down
"I love you too Francis" Steven gave Francis a warm smile before putting his glasses back and and hugged Francis
"Be safe... Please"
"I will, trust me, I'll come back in one piece"
They shared one last good hug before Francis had to watch Steven leave, he could feel his heart ache with nothing but worry, Francis sighed and went back into the apartment hoping things will turn out fine
|a few weeks later|
It has already been two weeks and all the residents of the apartment were getting worried for Francis, they only every saw him when he delivered milk but on weekends or days off he wasn't anywhere to be seen, they would check up on him and it's almost like everyday he just got worse and worse, yes he wasn't exactly social but he would at least stop and chat a bit, but now he doesn't speak a word whenever somebody asked him anything, another few days like this and mclooy thought he would try and see if he could talk to Francis
The next day mclooy knocks on Francises door
"Open up boy it's me"
There was an unsettling silence before the door slightly creeked open
"Mmm, what do you want?"
"You look like shit"
"Oh gee I haven't noticed" he rolled his eyes
"Boy can we talk? What has been up with you lately? You never leave your apartment"
"What do you think it is?" He spat at mclooy
"Well I was just tryin to be nice"he crossed his arms
" ugh, I'm sorry it's just that..." Francis trailed off, words couldn't describe on how much he missed Steven "I just really miss Steven..." He looked down, simply talking about him made him want to break down
"Don't you send letters?"
"I do but.... It's not the same"Francis was now wishing these two months would go by as fast as they could, he leaned over the door and rubbed his face" I'm just... Scared"
"Scared of what?"
Francis sat down on the sofa looking up and the ceiling, mclooy followed in and sat down next to Francis
"I'm just scared something might happen to Steven... What if he gets hurt?.... What if he doesn't come back at all" Francis looked away, he could feel the tears in his eyes swell up like crazy
"Oh don't be silly Francis, he'll be fine"
"How could you be so sure? How come your so calm about this? Your own son is at the risk of getting hurt!"
Mclooy sighed and took a drag of his cigarette blowing out a large Cloud of smoke
"Because I know him, this ain't the first time he's went on leave, he's done it many times, I just got used to it and you should too, If your gonna date my son then you need to understand that this is his job, he can't just stop because your feelings got hurt"
Francis took that in, his words cut deep, but he was right, he was acting like a baby about this, but there was that feeling that he couldn't shake off, he loved Steven and cared for him, almost too much, but seeing how mclooy took this as an average thing he thought he should too
"I know you care for him but I assure you hes fine"
Francis sighed and looked over at mclooy
"Yeah I guess your right, Im sorry I've been like this, I guess I'm just not used to him not being around, but I'll try not to worry as much"
"Atta boy, now promise me to take things easier from now on"
"I will... ".
|7 weeks later|
7 weeks and Francis is still really sad to not see Steven, he still misses him but he tries to talk and open up more, at least he can actually hold a conversation with someone, Francis had marked the days on his calendar waiting, aching, for the day Steven comes back, he looked over at the cat clock that hanged off his wall, 10pm, he should get some sleep, he got dressed into his pj's and before he tucked himself under the covers he looked over the calendar one more time
"One more week, one more week" at that he sighed and drifted off to sleep.
|two days later|
Everyone was in their apartments while mclooy was outside, he was waiting for Steven, apparently he was getting off early, after a hour of waiting a familiar sound of boots hitting the ground was heard, mclooy looked up to see Steven running up
"Dad!"
"Steven!"
They hugged tightly, Steven missed his dad dearly
"How has it been since I was gone?"
"Pretty good, except Francis didn't take it too well, stuck in his apartment ever since you left"
Steven sighed
"Felt like that was going to happen, but I'm finally back, good to be home"
Mclooy whistled
Francis was in his apartment when he looked out the window to see where the whistle came from, when he saw Steven outside his eyes lit up like fireworks, he didn't waste any time, he ran down the stairs as fast as he could pushing everyone that was in his way
Once he was outside Steven held out his arms
"Francis!"
"Steven!"
Francis ran and threw his arms around Steven pulling him into a bone breaking embrace, Steven swooped Francis off his feet and spun him around, they laughed and tears ran down Francises cheeks, but not tears of worry or sorrow, tears of pure joy, he could finally smile again knowing his favorite person was back home
Steven put Francis down and took off his sunglasses looking into Francises tear stained eyes
"I missed you so so much... And now your home"
"I am, and I missed you more then you can imagine"
Francis wasted no time and pulled Steven into a loving kiss on the lips, their noses fitting like a perfect puzzle,he usually wasn't this lovey but he couldn't help it, he missed him too much, Steven pulled him closer as he practically melted into the kiss, he missed his home, his dad ,but he definitely missed loving Francis, Francis broke the kiss and looked at Steven, a soft smile creeping up on Francises face
"There's that smile... " Steven gently put his hands of Francises cheek and Francis held Stevens hand closer to his cheek
"Now why don't we get inside, it's getting cold"
"You two done yet?"
"Don't worry we're done dad"
Francis held Stevens hand and they walked into the apartment, everyone was happy to see Steven back, everyone was greeting and hugging him, when Steven got to his apartment he looked over at Francis, Francis slightly blushed as he looked down
"Hey... Can I stay the night and your place?"
Steven looked over at mclooy
"Fine by me"
Francis smiled and followed Steven inside his apartment, they lived right next to each other so it felt the same
|hours later|
It's night time so that means time to sleep, Steven could finally sleep in a comfy bed
Francis climbed under the covers and Steven slid in burying his face into Francises neck, Francis ran his fingers through Stevens hair, he really missed this
"Ready for bed?"
"You bet your ass"
They snuggled up warmly with each other and gave each other a kiss goodnight before falling asleep safely into each others arms
Mclooy walked by Stevens room and peeked Through the crack of the door
Steven and Francis were fast asleep still holding each other
Mclooy chuckled quietly before smiling
"Welcome home soldier."
END.
WOOO THIS TOOK FOREVER, Y'ALL DON'T JUDGE ME THIS IS MY FIRST FANFIC, BUT I HOPE Y'ALL LIKED IT:3
