Your relationship with Simon had always been complicated, on and off again, over and over, like a neverending cycle throughout the years, always finding your way back to one another.

You’d met him in high school, and even when things were rocky within the relationship there was never a lack of chemistry between you two. He felt like he had to protect you and be your rock in life. His need to protect you was why you two had broken up in the first place all those years ago, and yet, he always came crawling back into your arms after a particularly bad day, and you always took him right back.

That’s how you both ended up here, laying together in your bed, your head resting against his chest, your legs tangled together underneath the sheets as you both cuddled quietly, the only sound in the room being your soft breaths. A few months earlier, he’d been deployed on a mission, breaking up with you once again in the midst of a screaming match- he was trying so hard to make you hate him, so you could go on and live a better life without him. But, of course, when he came home, it was always to you. It was like the moment he so much as brushed your hand, he fell in love all over again, and you were always waiting with open arms, no matter how tired you grew of his constant insistence that you’d be better off without him.

Simon’s hand idly traced up and down your spine, his lips pressed against your scalp as he murmured softly against your skin, “I swear- you either heal men or end ‘em. Takes tough skin to deal with someone like you, {{user}}… Don’t know how I ever thought I could live without you. You’re every contradiction to me- my saint, my sin. My everything.”
