Tom Hiddleston Love Ficlet 16
Phone Off
Hello Darling, I’ve turned my phone off for the rest of the evening. I’m all yours. - Tom Hiddleston
Being a popular movie star had its perks at times; no one could ever deny that. But; it also came with its own downsides, as Kayliegh was beginning to see. All during the evening since Tom had gotten home from a hard day at work of filming/interviews/photo shoots; he had been bombarded by any kind of form of modern communication one could think of. There would be texts, phone calls, emails, anything else; you got it. When they had first gotten together, they had made a promise that neither would allow work to interfere in their personal time at home. However, it turns out that work was working overtime to wreck that promise between the two.
Tom was normally very good at this rule, but for some damned reason, every person in the world needed his attention at that exact moment. Even as they were attempting to eat dinner together at home, he would be interrupted-almost by the bite- by some kind of ringtone. He would ignore it for Kayliegh’s sake, but she could see that he was itching to make sure it wasn’t something important. It was really starting to upset her. You see; sharing meals with someone was very important and sacred to her. In her old home; there was hardly anything called a “family meal-time.” Her siblings would’ve eaten long before actual dinner time, and her parents would normally barricade themselves in their room and eat in there. So on more occasions than one, she would end up eating alone.
She was so grateful and happy to see that Tom also enjoyed meals together with others, and found herself blessed with a perfect gentleman such as him. However, with him being the perfect gentleman to her; he was a perfect ragdoll it seemed at times to the media. Kayliegh could see how much his career meant to him, and tried desperately to not let it get to her. She knew of what she would be getting into by getting into a relationship with someone of his stature. Some days she could simply ignore the demands of the media and simply draw or write, or do other little crafts. But, alas, her Hiddleston was being dragged away from her.
She sighed out loud to herself and stood up from their kitchen table, grabbing her half eaten plate and went to the kitchen. Tom looked up from his own plate and saw the damper in her aura. He meant to ask her what was the matter, but then he was interrupted by yet another phone call. He heaved out a slightly annoyed sigh and begrudgingly answered the call. Kayliegh looked over her shoulder, trying to see if he had meant to say something. But all she could see was him talking over his phone, like he was doing frequently this night.
She turned back to face the window above the kitchen sink and took in deep breaths to keep herself calm. Was she really such a bad person to want her boyfriend to herself for a night? She understood perfectly well how busy he was, and she accepted that. But was she being too selfish in just wanting the rest of the world to be put on hold? If only for a couple of hours? She didn’t want to ask and sound like a foolish child, so she merely stayed quite, cutting all emotion from her face.
Tom was finally able to hang up his phone and he got up from the table and walked over to his little love. “Kayliegh dear; you hardly ate dinner tonight,” he asked with concern, knowing that she would normally get seconds on normal nights. “Wasn’t hungry. It’s fine.” He could hear the almost robotic way her voice sounded. He was confused by this new melancholic form to her. Kayliegh normally wore her emotions on her sleeves, letting everyone know exactly how she felt about everything. He always did enjoy her expressiveness. But now, it seemed as if she was an entirely different person. It was like she was a programmed machine in doing and saying only what was necessary.
He was about to ask what was wrong, but an email tone interrupted once more. She turned away from the sink, shutting off the faucet and stalked off to the living room. Tom sighed, frustrated, and looked at the email. He exited out of it quickly, not even bothering to check and see if it was a spam or not. He watched his girlfriend make her way to the living room and sat on the couch, wrapping her arms around her, like a cocoon. His heart burned to reach out and hug the saddening sight of his lonesome love. He walked over and carefully sat beside her, minding her personal space. She stared absentmindedly at the blank T.V. screen.
Tom tried to think of a way to break through the silence. “Um… should we watch some Netflix my dear?” she shrugged, acting impassive. “Sure, why not?” she answered in a very short answer. He felt sick to his stomach and turned the T.V. on and switched it to the Netflix menu. “Anything in particular?” she shrugged once again. “Doesn’t matter.” Now this was really starting to bother the Brit, not knowing what was the matter with his girlfriend was starting to put him on edge. “Love, is something the matter? If I did anything to upset you-““Its fine,” she cut him off quickly with a monotone murmur. Now he was really worried.
Before he could so much as move a hand to comfort her, his phone once again blared out a ringtone signaling an incoming call. Tom saw Kayliegh hug herself tighter, and he now knew the cause of her sadness. He looked at his phone screen, then back to her. He knew what he had to do, and immediately shut his phone off. She glanced out of the corner of her eye to see what he was doing. He chucked his phone into his coat pocket that was hanging by the door, showing off his impressive and surprising sports skills. He looked over to her and grinned brightly.
“As long as we’re not disturbed now- what would you like to do love?” Kayliegh looked up at him, still enigmatic as before and looked back down to her knees. “You’ll get in trouble you know.” Tom shrugged and put his hand over hers. “I’m in trouble with you- that scares me more than what my manager may have in store.” She stayed silent, not making a move to return the form of intimacy of holding his hand. “Please my darling; do tell me what is bothering you… it’s really starting to worry me.” She shook her head and moved her hand from under his. “Its fine.” She repeated the same phrase over again, almost like a mantra.
Now it was Toms turn to become frustrated. He didn’t like how distant she was being, granted it was more than likely his fault for making her turn this way, but he wanted to make her feel better. He placed his thumb and fore –finger under her chin and made her look up at him. He could see her green eyes misty and pricking at the edges with tears. He felt completely heartbroken simply looking into her eyes. He was almost afraid to hear of her sadness. “My love… My muse… My princess… Do tell me what troubles you…”
Kayliegh wanted to so desperately seem strong and stay silent and in control. “I… I…,” before she could finish, she began sniffling and could feel tears pour out of her eyes. Tom held her close and held her head to his chest and let her sob. She clung onto his sleeves and sobbed quietly, her small shoulders shaking and her delicate form quivering. He could feel the emotions pouring from her and felt incredibly guilty for pushing her to this extent. He went to whisper out a heartfelt apology, but she beat him to the punch. “I-I’m so sorry…” he looked down at her confused and tilted his head in wonder as to why SHE would be sorry.
“I… I only get that way when I don’t want to lose my cool. I-it’s a habit of mine…. I’m so sorry for upsetting you… I was just so tired… of all those emails and texts and calls… it got to me and I felt so horrid thinking that I wanted you to myself..!” tom listened silently, rubbing her back as she hiccupped in between words. “I-I only wanted a simple dinner together… I know your work is the most important thing to you… and I admire that so much… but…! Is it so bad that I want time with MY boyfriend? Is that simply too much to ask..? Nnnh-!” she broke out into fresh sobs and clung tighter onto his shirt.
Tom could literally feel his heart break for this sad little girl in his arms. She was just so vulnerable and he needed to do something to make her smile that favorite little smile of his. He rubbed her back soothingly and comfortingly. “Listen hunny… you could’ve told me how you felt… I wouldn’t have thought any less of you…” she shook her head and nuzzled into his chest, still shaking. “N-no…. I didn’t want to sound like a love-sick teenager…” he smiled knowingly and tilted her chin up to face him. Her cheeks were stained with tear marks.
“My lovely little princess… do you really believe id think that of you? It was my fault for bringing work home- I know we made that promise to not do that, but things kept piling up on each other. I couldn’t keep the evil at bay.” Kayliegh slightly giggled at his attempt to cheer her up. “I swear however… that this won’t happen again. And I promise that I am only yours for the rest of the evening. No meetings, no calls, nothing.” She gazed up at her loving boyfriend and was almost blinded by the honesty that was in his smile. New tears formed in the corner of her eyes and she hugged him closely.
Tom smiled softly, knowing he had done his job and her close as well. He kissed her left temple and rubbed her back. “So; what would my lady like to do for the rest of the night? Anything you wish to do.” she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and sniffled, trying to think of anything to save the awful night. Unfortunately, her brain wasn’t in thinking mode- it was in Tom Hiddleston mode and all she wanted was him. “Could… could we just stay here and relax?” he smiled and nodded, placing a gentle kiss to her forehead. “That sounds perfect.”
He shifted them so that she was lying comfortably on top of him, her head rested against his chest and his arm around her waist. His other stroked her arm and back softly to lull her to sleep. She clutched her small fingers around the fabric of his shirt and nuzzled his chest closing her eyes. “You know..,” she started out saying in a soft voice. Tom hummed to show he had heard. “You are an amazing person… my knight in leather armor~.” Tom chuckled and placed a gentle peck to the top of her head. “Thank you my darling. That means the world to me…”
The two stayed in that position the rest of the night, lulled to sleep by each other’s presence and were comfortably asleep within the hour.
Extended Ending
“TOM!!! IF YOU DON’T ANSWER ME I AM GOING TO WRING THIS TELEPHONE CORD AROUND YOUR NECK!!!!” tom was rudely awoken that next morning by his “lovely” manager. “Oh dear lord… did I do something to upset you?” he rubbed the bridge of his nose as he could hear the gears in his managers head hit over capacity. “WHAT DO YOU THINK?!?!?! YOU DISSAPPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND NOONE WAS ABLE TO REACH YOU!! WHAT THE HELL?! DID UOU DROP OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH?!” tom sighed out, getting quite tired of this so early in the morning. “Unfortunately no; I’m still here to listen to your adorable voice this hour.”
“GODDAMNIT TOM IF YOU DON’T GET HERE SOON I’M GONNA-““You’re going to strangle me with the phone cord. I got it- but I can’t now. I made a promise so as work doesn’t affect my home time.” He yawned and stretched checking his watch. Sadly- it was 7:30.  “WHAT?! I SWEAR IF YOU HANG UP I’LL-“and with that Tom hung up and threw his phone on the side table beside the couch. “Lovely man I swear- horrible temper.”
Kayliegh giggled into his chest and yawned cutely. “You sure you’re not in trouble?” tom scoffed at the idea. “Pleas- I am over double that guys height- he doesn’t scare me.” She thought for a moment and rubbed his chest softly. “Last night you said you were afraid of being in trouble with me. I don’t get it…” Tom chuckled and rubbed her side playfully. “Yes, well there’s one thing that separates you two- at least he I can kiss ass to.” She giggled and kissed him on the lips happily, knowing they won’t be interrupted anymore for that day.
