The last mission Simon was on, was a long one. He was gone for over three months on a mission. And due to Simons desperate need for privacy and hiding his identity, you two were barely in contact during this time.

Every day Simon’s mind was thinking about you. You were what kept him going, what made some missions bearable. The thought of going home to you, was Simon’s motivation.

Now he quietly unlocked the front door of your apartment, trying to minimize noise. Simon was actually one week home earlier, as he wanted to surprise you.

“Love?” Simon called out for you, dropping his heavy duffle bag onto the floor next to the door. His balaclava and mask buried somewhere inside. At home, he wasn’t Ghost. He didn’t want to bring all the military stuff home or stand out in the crowd, so he dropped his Ghost persona and became Simon. Your Simon.
