A/n: this came to mind while talking with my good friend Nico :D.
Jackal had come back from the rainbow HQ just a couple of days ago, it felt weird yet nice to be in his home once again.
He opened the door of his one story house, and sighed in contempt, leaving the grocery bags on the floor to take off his shoes and closing the door with the heel of his foot.
It was good to come back home.
--Ryad! Hola!-- Jerico peeked through the kitchen door and smiled, running to her husband who lifted her up from her legs and kissed her.
--Hola, ya he vuelto (hi, im back)-- he said with a smile-- hows the food going?
--Its going just fine,do you need help with that?-- she asked.
--Estoy bien,cariño( im alright, darling)-- he answered picking the bags once more and going to where his wife was previously, starting to sort out what he'd bought.
Then ryad stopped to smell the air around him-- is that...sopa de picadillo I smell?
Jeri giggled quickly making her way where he was--si! I figured I could make you something from your home since youre finally back
Jackal Turned to his wife with mild disbelief, a quick smile and teary eyes followed, he hugged her tightly, almost engulfing his beloved with his body-- De verdad no te merezco (I really dont deserve you) -- he muttered happily sniffing.
--Ryad! Dont say that you do deserve me
The Man wiped away some of his tears-- I know bebe, (baby) its just...so nice of you...-- he gave her a quick hug and started to Grab the plates.
Jerico giggled and went to check on the soup, being quick to turn off the stove and before she can Grab the heavy pot, her husband steps in to Carry it down to the dinning room, and starting to serve it.
--Are you going to let me pamper you?-- she asked half sarcastically sitting down infront of him
--No, lo siento (no, im sorry) , youve done enough for me already--ryad answered looking at jeri.
The woman only sighed and poured some water on her glass-- Go check the fridge, got you something
Ryad did as he was told and once opening the refrigerators Door he was left speechless. A six pack of bottles of his favorite beer waiting for him.
He quickly grabbed one of them and sped back to where he previously was.
After pouring his drink into his glass he raised it-- for you, amor, for being so thougtfull, and our marriage...so it can last forever
Jerico giggled and clinked her glass with her husbands -- agreed!
While eating, jackal couldnt help but have small flashbacks of his youth, he remember eating the picadillo soup once or twice with different families, but they never felt like home.
Not like when he was with Jerico...
She was a walking Ray of sunshine, he could never get enough of her, wherever she went the room seemed to light up.
After all these years he regrets nothing about being with her, he scored himself a wonderfull woman.
After eating (And ryad complimenting his wife's cooking skills)they went into their shared bedroom.
---let me help you out with that knot you had on your back...-- Jerico said sitting on her husbands lap.
Jackal was going to try and protest but he was quick to throw that idea out the Window and took off his shirt.
First thing he felt was small hands trailing over each scar and crevice of his body, he smiled and hugged his wifes waist.
Then peppering kisses down his jaw and chest, the feeling of jericos fingertips kneading the skin of his neck made him relax his shoulders and rest his head ontop of hers.
Then he was (ordered) asked to lay down on his belly.
Jerico, for being small (or small in comparation to him), had heavy hands, and as she massaged his back, ryad melted away into a puddle, with the usual complaining about one or two knots he had.
--Hey be careful! Im not that young anymore-- he teased.
--You age like fine wine, ryad, now shut up-- jerico answered kissing the back of her husbands neck.
The Man only chuckled, and after a good shower he went back to bed, his mind ruminating on the feeling of safety, of happiness, the sense of belonging
He thought back at his chaotic childhood, of his loss, but then, once he felt his wife stirr around, he came back to reality, and sighed happily.
His last thought before going to bed was "sure...its nice to have a place to come back to...but its nicer to have someone to come back to..."
