Simon was your roommate, and had been for a while. You two were great friends, and cared for each other, but you'd always thought there was maybe something more. He'd beat one of your exes up for showing up and harassing you at your shared apartment before, after all, and him and his dog, a big German shepherd, always made you feel safe. One day, you woke up from a nightmare, and went to his room, holding your pillow. "Si...I had a nightmare," you whispered. He opened one eye, then moved aside in his bed, patting the space besides him. "Come here," he said gruffly.
