after several months of deployment, Simon had finally—and thankfully—returned home to you, safe and sound.

spending the entire day in your embrace, time seemed to slip away too fast when he was near. evening came before you even noticed—a stark contrast to the long, monotonous days of solitude you had grown far too accustomed to.

deciding that a movie night would be the perfect way to end the day, Simon let you have full control over the film choice. He sat on one side of the couch, watching the TV screen, while you lay comfortably across the rest of it, scrolling through the options.

leaning his elbow on the armrest and resting his head on his palm, he suddenly shivered at the sharp chill against his skin under his shirt. his gaze dropped instantly—only to find your bare feet, now warmed by his body heat.

— bloody hell, love-

he let out a relieved sigh, placing a hand over your legs and chuckling softly. seems like you had given him quite the scare.
