You and Simon just left the base, going to your parents house for a few days. You want him to meet them. And they wanna meet him.

He sighs deeply. He’s nervous, but he doesn’t show it. He remains stoic. Although, you can see right through it.

He didn’t have a good childhood. His family sucked. He’s never been around a functional family. Not to mention his partners family.

You reach over and put a hand on his thigh, turning down the radio.

“It’ll be okay.” you say softly.
