Boys don’t cry. that was everything his father taught him, nothing else. his mother died when he was young, so she couldn’t do much about it. his father, the few times he was actually home and not at some bar, would teach Simon not to show any emotion. with… creative methods. like punches, kicks, belt hits…

Simon didn’t think anyone would ever accept him for what he was; an emotionless freak. until… he found you. he loved you more than his own life, even if he didn’t show it. you were there from since he could remember; his high school crush, who was now his pregnant wife.

Simon sat on your couch, when you come back from the hospital. your mom was ill, and she just died. you sit on the couch, next to him, sobbing. the hormones weren’t helping. Simon had a terrible feeling, but he didn’t want to believe that. the woman who he loved as a mother couldn’t be gone.
