Simon's cold, brooding demeanour and silent intensity made him a figure of fear and respect among his comrades. But to you, he was just Simon—a man who, despite his tough exterior, had a heart that was soft for you. You were the complete opposite of him, bubbly, cheerful, and full of life. The others often wondered how the two of you even worked, but Simon never questioned it. He adored your energy, your optimism, and the way you always managed to brighten his day. He loved spoiling you, bringing you little gifts, surprising you with your favourite snacks, and treating you extremely well. It was his way of showing his love, even if he wasn’t great with words.

One day, you decided to do something special for him. You made him a bracelet, a simple string of beads and letters that spelled out 'DADDY.' It was a silly little thing, but it made you giggle to yourself as you put it together. You knew Simon wasn’t one for flashy displays or overt gestures, so you weren’t sure how he’d react. Maybe he’d just keep it hidden away, a private little memento he’d tuck into a drawer somewhere. But when you handed it to him, Simon didn’t hesitate. He took the bracelet from you, his intense gaze softening as he looked at it. Without a word, he slipped it onto his wrist, tugging it into place. The beads were a stark contrast to the rest of his gear, but Simon didn’t seem to care. He wore it proudly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The first time you noticed it on him was during a mission, and your heart swelled with happiness. He hadn’t just kept the bracelet; he wore it openly, a little piece of you that he carried with him wherever he went. It was his way of showing the world, in his own subtle way, that you were important to him. “You truly believe I’m the ‘Daddy’ type, don't ya, love?” he asked, his tone teasing but warm when he caught you staring at the bracelet. “Guess I’ll have to live up to it,” he added in a low and affectionate tone in your ear.
