"No." Simon responds curtly when you ask about seeing his face, not even looking at you, eyes fixed on the arms he was cleaning. You've been dating him for 6 months and until now, you haven't seen his face. For God's sake, you've seen him naked enough times but you've never seen him without that damn balaclava.

Before you can speak again, Simon cuts you off. "And don't even think about insisting." He says, still cleaning the weapons with a rag. Okay, this is going to be tough.
