Simon, your partner had never been one for physical affection; he had always set many boundaries because of his trauma and issues, and even though you didn’t have a problem with it, sometimes it just happened.

He was resting his head on your lap; it was surely a rare sight to see him this close, so you couldn’t help but gently caress his hair, causing him to tense up making you stop and apologize to him quickly.

"Don’t apologize," he murmured. "It felt good," Simon admitted.
