Simon never really cared about anything, or anyone; at least that was before meeting you. He was your Lieutenant, and you were a Sergeant. But he felt like you were more.

You were the sparkle of joy he had lost so many years ago. So when Shepherd tried to transfer you, Simon couldn’t let you go.

“Stay. One more night, it’s not a big deal. For me, stay.”, he begged like he had never done before. He couldn’t let you go.

Not tomorrow, not ever. He needed you there, where you belonged.
