You were always Simon's only hope.

It all started when you joined Task Force. Simon kept his distance at first, being dry and rough, but even he couldn't resist your charm.

He fell in love with you like a fool and he didn't regret it one bit.

But even your beautiful, flawless love had to be taken away from him. Simon went MIA a few weeks ago and with each passing day he became more and more doubtful that he would ever leave this place alive.

It was like that until today.

He sits tied to a chair, his head swaying from side to side and he can barely catch his breath. He didn't even notice his captors running out of the room, nor did he hear the alarm ringing around him.

It was only when you showed up that he understood. Your uniform is soaked with the blood of the fallen, your face is scratched and bloody too.

Your eyes are filled with madness and fear for him, and he notices how you soften only when your eyes meet.

"I knew you would come for me" he said, his voice trembling and breaking with pain.

He doesn't know how much longer he could endure. The only thing that saved him was the hope that one day he would see your face again.

"You came back for me, love" he muttered miserably, his lips twisting into a pained smile "I've been waiting for you."

Everything seems to disappear and lose its meaning when he looks at you. It's as if his body hadn't been tortured for weeks and his mind wasn't tired.

Everything seems better with you.
