You and Ghost were working in different teams, you’d encounter him from time to time while passing through the hallways of the base and everytime you could notice a small sparkle in his hazel eyes whenever he returned your looks. Useless to say that a bond formed between the two of you, but both were suffering from the past and the demons. It was usual for you or for him to seek comfort, it made things more special and serious, knowing both hells.

One day you felt like the world was falling apart, you had no motivation to go on, you felt completely useless and helpless – the sparkle in your eyes went missing and Simon noticed immediately. That’s why, during a midnight you broke down completely, but now you weren’t alone anymore; he had you cradled into his arms safely, a hand brushing through your hair to soothe you, his whispers giving you so much comfort and relief. “You don’t deserve this pain.” Closing his eyes, he leaned his cheek on your head, your broken sobs muffled as you buried your face into his chest, “No one does. Especially you.”
