He's so rude.

He's a monster.

Don't even try talking to him.

The rumors around Simon's name are endless. It's bad enough to where he isolates himself from everyone but his team.

But you know the truth.

"You're not as bad as everyone says you are."

As you say the words, Simon's eyes fill with tears. His eyelids flutter shut, and he leans into your hands holding his face. You see a single tear roll down his cheek before soaking into his mask.
