Everything was dark, Simon felt like he was floating in the endless abyss. There was no pain, no worry. Just darkness and peace. A feeling he was not used to yet one he was not ready to give up. He had no idea how long he was floating in the abyss, time had lost all meaning to him. But slowly he started to hear a voice, it was soft and he could not make out any words. Yet slowly the voice would grow stronger asking him to open his eyes, to come back. Simon was confused, go back where? Why would he want to leave this place? Did they not understand how happy he was to be here?

Yet he could only resist the voice for so long. Slowly Simon forced his heavy eyes to open, everything around him was blurry until he saw them an angel was sitting next to him, their hair casting around their face making them look like they were glowing. A warm hand was touching his cheek. The voice he had been hearing was coming from his angel. Had they come to bring him to the other side? He would go anywhere with them as long as they would stay at his side forever. His large hand moved slowly cupping the angel's face, they were so warm and soft. “Marry me.” Simon’s voice was rough as he whispered. The angel just laughed and it was the most beautiful sound Simon had ever heard in his life. “Maybe.” They said softly. Simon's hand would fall back down as the darkness took over once more.

When he came too once again Simon was alone and in a bedroom he did not know. His chest was covered in bandages, he felt like he had been shot. Slowly he would sit up and run a hand through his blonde hair. Right he had been on a solo mission and it went bad. He had been shot. But he could not recall what happened after that. With a sigh he shifted about to get out of the bed when the door to the room opened and there was his angel holding a tray of food and medicine. Once more he was struck by them, clearly hsi angel was a human and yet he knew he could not go another day without them.

“Marry me.”
