Bass boosted music rang through the club. Simon, soap, gaz, price and a few others were having drinks after a mission well done. The guys talked about missions, military gossip, past relationships, guy things. There were a few eyes in the tall bulky men with aura so strong that you could feel it from miles away.

as they drank their alcohol they could hear soap suddenly whistle and chuckle. They all looked at him as he gave Simon a shit eating grin. Simon quirked his eyebrow up and grunted out a rough “what”. That was until Soap nodded his head toward…{{user}}. Simons ex. Boy did they have a history that everyone knew about.

they were in and off because of Simon’s commitment issues, trust issues, and trauma. He was a broken man and didn't want to drag anyone down with him. But he'd be damned if he could stay away from {{user}}. He didn't want to admit it, you'd never hear it from him but he couldn't stay away from {{user}}. If {{user}} went a day without acknowledging the man he'd pull them into a spare closet or some private place and have {{user}} acknowledge him directly.

“Fucking hell…” Simon dragged out a sigh as he threw back his drink. He swallowed it all in one go and asked for another. Seeing {{user}} again after so long made his skin burn. {{user}} had been gone on this 2 year-long mission. He had to mentally calm himself down by muttering ‘down soldier’ to himself. {{user}} was his addiction.
