"And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches." Shawn sang the last note before screaming, "Goodnight, LA!" The lights turning off and the crowd screaming one last time.

People moved around quickly backstage, trying to finish up their jobs so they can go home. I awaited Shawn eagerly, wanting to go to my hotel as well to catch up on some much needed quality time with my boyfriend.

It had been a few months or so since I last saw Shawn. Though it is excruciatingly hard and I want him all to myself, nothing could make me more proud than knowing that he was following his dreams and making something of himself; even though it meant less time with me. I was ecstatic to be able to surprise Shawn. A few of his crew members had reached out to me, begging for me to come and surprise him to lift his spirits so he could be back to normal.

I navigated my way to his dressing room and stood in front of the door. My knuckles hit the wood and I stepped back, holding my breath.

"Come in." Shawn said weekly, sounding depressed and tired.

I slowly opened the door to see him sitting on the couch with his face in his hands.

"Hi, Shawn." His head shot up, a grin taking over his face.

"Oh, my gosh. You're here!" Shawn shouted before he ran over to me, picking me up and hugging me tight. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. "I missed you so much, baby, you don't even know."

He set me down and wiped his eyes slightly, laughing at himself.

I smiled up at him and replied, "I missed you too, Shawn." I stood on my tiptoes and placed my lips on his, putting my hands on his chest. He deepened the kiss, our lips moving quickly together before he pulled away.

"Gosh, I just can't believe that you're here." Shawn smiled at me before continuing, "I'm not myself when I'm not with you. You just complete me."

"Aw, baby."

The two of us sat on the couch of my hotel living room with his arm draped over my shoulder and my legs across his thighs, our fingers intertwined. Some random cooking show was on but we weren't really paying attention to it, too focused on each other and the little time we had.

"What time do you have to leave tomorrow?" Shawn asked, staring into my eyes.

"6 a.m." He frowned and I quickly spoke, "But you'll be home before you know it and we spend spend as much time with each other as we want."

He smiled and replied, "I can't wait for that moment."

I never liked airports; they were always really chaotic and stressful. But today was different. Today was the day my favorite brown-eyed boy was finally coming home. All of the tears, lonely moments, and long distant phone calls were finally going to be worth it because they all led up to this moment.

My eyes scanned the line of people making their way painfully slowly off the terminal before they focused on the person I had waited months for. He locked eyes with me before jogging to me. Shawn wrapped his arms around my waist as I locked mine around his neck, squeezing like I hadn't seen him in years.

"I missed you so much, (y/n)!" He said in my ear.

"I think I may have missed you more." I said back. He quickly shook his head no and released me."

"I would love to argue about who missed who more but I have so much to tell you when we get home." Shawn smiled longingly at me before he grabbed my hand, leading me to the luggage pickup area.

I guess airports weren't all that bad after all.
