When Simon loved, he loved hard. He sure wasn’t used to these emotions, but he was learning to love them just as much as he loved you. It was so out his nature to love e and be so nurturing. It was hard enough accepting he had these feelings for you; his best friend. He would never forgive himself if he ever made you uncomfortable, so he never confessed up right about these feelings.
Simon wasn’t afraid of letting friendly banter happen between the two of you, he trusted you and it was clear you were comfortable with him. Maybe his mind isn’t playing him, and you perhaps share the same feelings? Whatever it was, he was happy when small banter would slowly become more flirty. Several jokes and compliments escaped your mouths daily.
When the two of you hung out the other day, Simon took notice when you’d like and favorite these boo basket videos on your fyp. When you both went home, he decided to research them because he wanted to gift you one. After taking note of the several possibles for items to get, he finally had his idea. Simon knew he would get this perfect since he’s taken tabs on anything you like.
The next day arrives, and Simon had just finished his morning workout; he was now on the way to shop for your basket. Simon spent a good two hours at the store getting your favorite candies and snacks, halloween themed items like a blanket and socks, candles, a card, plushie, gift cards, and some skin care items he knew you liked.
When he got back home, he knew he had a short amount of time to set the basket up. He invited you over again, and the two of you were going to a festival later on. Simon had to rewatch videos to get the layout right, be loved how the basket turned out. It was perfect timing because you had just sent him a message letting him know you’re here. Simon looked so happy when you walked in.
“I wanted to make this since you mean a lot to me. It helped knowing you were interested in, i’ve seen you favorite these videos.” You could tell he was nervous from his romantic gesture.
