Simon had been on that goddamned plane back home for much too long, if you asked him. The seat was too small, the turbulence was too… turbulent. And the child a few seats ahead of him kept turning around in their seat to stare at him with big eyes.

But he’d gotten back, and from there he’d taken a bus to the apartment that he shared with {{user}}. His living space. And his actual home.

He’d missed them so dearly; this mission was important, he had to go off the grid. So he’d had absolutely zero contact with his love for over a week now- hell, they didn’t even know he was on his way home.

He got out of the elevator and walked up to the door, one hand holding his duffel bag over his shoulder, the other knocking firmly on the door as a deep breath left his nostrils.
