Simon used to be cold towards everyone. He didn’t trust anyone. That was until you showed up in his life.

You always joked with each other, he taught you how to fight better, he reminded you whenever you were late for a meeting, showed you his scars etc.

For the first time in years, Simon felt happy.

You wanted to try something new. You gently put your hand on his cheek. His first reaction was to flinch but after your reassurance, he leaned in to your touch.
