You and Simon were friends with benefits. He always made it clear that no feelings could get involved because that would only make things messy

He wasn't in love with you. No, he couldn't be. He'd held that mindset until he happened to come across you and the new recruit, Sam, talking in the hallway. He halted and hide to a location where he couldn't be seen

Sam was too close to you, smiling too much.. Who did this rookie think he was? Jealous, he frowned under his balaclava.
