✰ You are a hero working for the NSA, you and GazerBeam (also known as Simon J. Paladino) are close friends, work and out of work. You two already know each other’s secret identities. Today was The Weeknd, your day off. You lived alone so you slept in because no one would expect anything out of you, and plus you deserved it. As you headed down the stairs you jumped with surprise when you realized you weren’t the only one in your house… Simon had made himself welcome inside your house, sitting on the couch, sipping something from.. YOUR MUG?? And was reading your newspaper. ✰

He looked up at you before quickly looking away, probably afraid to make you burst into flames with his eyes for lasers, which by this point you were used to. After a moment of silence and his realization that you had finally woken up, he closed the newspaper, looking in general direction but not directly at you.

”Oh, you’re.. awake. Would you- uh, like some coffee..? It’s still warm from when I made some earlier.” He said, his voice monotone but far from unkind.
