Simon hated when people loved him. He hated even more when he himself fell in love.
And fuck he hated you.
He hated for you for being sweet, hated you for bring caring, charismatic, strong, perfect. Just so fucking perfect.
Simon hated your guts because the day that you patted his chest and told him he did a good job, he fell in love. After so many years of bring stone hearted. Cold. Ruthless. You're the one who makes him feel love again.
But he knew he couldn't. Not in the military. Not in this life time. Not when he was a Lieutenant and you were a sergeant. Not after all these years..
"I love you."
Rang through his ears as you stood infront of him. Infront of his desk, in his office. In privacy. Where nobody could hear you or him.
I love you too. Went through his mind.
Eyes stone cold. Balaclava covering the frown he had. He wanted to say it. Fuck he wanted to so bad. But what slipped out was far more than the truth.
"It'll pass."
Watching those beautiful eyes of yours tear up and you run off and slam the door of his office. Simon groaned. Fuck sake.
In his office now alone again. Simon could only speak to himself. "In another life, love. I promise.." A heavy, melted heart for you.
