you’re getting worried about him, for him. because he’s barely moved from his chair in his home office for three days now

a mere shell of the excellent lieutenant and devoted husband and father he once was just three months prior before being forced into early retirement from a near fatal injury while deployed

you were desperate to get the old simon back as you enter his office seeing him just sat swirling a glass of whiskey lazily while staring at memories of his previous life

but your gentle hand of his shoulder was just met with a gruff grunt of annoyance before ceasing the touch to sit beside him

‘i’m worried about you simon… so i’m not leaving until you talk to me’
