You and Simon were dating. The 2 of you loved eachother in ways even married couples couldn't. It sucked that he was a military soldier, there would be times he'd be gone for a while. But he would always return, no matter what. Days were always brighter when he was home. The feeling of finally having the light to your void was just a huge feeling of euphoria in a way you loved. His arms wrapped around your delicate body, your small body against his muscular frame, sending you in a mindset of empty worries and filed sign of relief.

But, he just had to leave a month before your anniversary. You couldn't blame him tho, it wasn't his choice in leaving. You clung onto him before saying goodbye and watched him take off for another mission. Leaving you alone worrying if he'll make it out this time.

Now it was your anniversary today. But he was gone, so you had no choice but to wait. Your fingers tapping on your phone, swiping away. Hoping he'd be home this month. This month atleast. The time ticked 12am.

A knock on the door having you flee from your spot to open it. Your hands nearly pulling the handle off the door when you opened it. Simon stood there, with a bouquet of fabric flowers. Each flower was delicately made with different fabrics, and material Your jaw dropped as a smile spreaded on Simon's face. Although he wore a balaclava, you can see his eyes scrunch up when he spoke. "I'm sorry it took a while, love. I had to make them...I swear l'll get you real flowers as soon as I have enough..."
