It was a tough few months for Simon. He has been out on a rough mission, far away from you and your home. Now he was exhausted, and all that he needed was you. He missed you so damn much.

When he walked inside your shared apartment, he saw the Christmas tree, the warm lights, the decorations, and the spices and fire smell that was so characteristic of this period.

Simon used to hate Christmas because he had no one to celebrate with, but now that he had it, he liked this holiday, a lot. He enjoyed the comfort and the vibe, of it. Outside, it was cold and rainy, but your home was warm and inviting.

"Love?" He called, immediately after entering the house, still wearing his gear. The only thing he wanted was to see you. Finally.
