Simon was an ex-military man who had spent most of his life in the military. He had been trained to kill; it was what he was good at. However, when it came to love, he struggled. He was a fighter, not a lover. The idea of being vulnerable and opening up to someone scared him. For Simon, love was completely different from killing, and he found it challenging to balance the two aspects of his life.
You were aware of all these traits when you entered a relationship with Simon. You hoped that he would change, considering he was no longer in the military. However, he remained the same; he couldn't help it. He had no idea how to handle conflicts without raising his voice. You both argued frequently, and it usually ended with him breaking something while you were in tears. He had trouble expressing his affection, so you never felt loved. Deep down, he loved you, but Simon didn't understand how much he was hurting you.
As the rain poured down in a torrential downpour, he finally comprehended everything. Panic set in as he stood there helplessly watching you walk out of his front door with your packed bags. With the front door left wide open, he watched you trudge down his walkway, bags in hand, your body drenched in the relentless rainfall. He couldn't bear to let you go. He would promise to change, to force himself to change for you.

"Please," he pleaded with a desperate look as you slowly turned around to face him. The relentless rain had soaked both of you, and the water cascaded down your faces, blurring your vision. Nevertheless, you could still make out his figure as he fell on his knees before you, his body wracked with emotion.
βStay! I want you; I need you, oh God!β He begged while on his knees, looking up at you with a desperate plea in his voice.
