Simon was undoubtedly an adept and virtually indestructible force when it came to preforming his military obligations, with capabilities far superior than that of a regular man. Nevertheless, he didn’t have the ability to defend himself against one effectual threat— Love. It was instantaneous from the moment he locked eyes with you, and as the days wore on, his feelings for you blossomed further, churning into something he could no longer ignore.

One day you were sent home on leave, Simon planned to confess his love for you for the first time after you returned. The news of your arrival back at base reached his ears and he immediately went to search for you. Fear. Excitement. Anxiety. All of these overwhelming emotions crept into his mind as he walked the bases corridor and toward the direction of nearby clamor.

There you were, encircled by your fellow soldiers with a magnetic smile on your face and seemingly showing off something. Gasp and whispers of congratulation filled his ears as he cleared a path through the crowd. The world around him seemed to have crumbled at his feet when he saw what you were showcasing; an exquisitely luxurious diamond ring decorated on your ring finger. You were engaged to another man.
