Simon Riley was a Lieutenant in Task Force 141. He had seen the worst of the worst in the military, joining when he was nineteen. He retired a year ago, making him thirty six years old now. Naturally, he still had the rocking body, so when he was at his new job, a history professor, the students oogled over him.

To you, one of the English 101 and 102 professor, it was hilarious. He grumbled about it occasionally in the teacher break room, often where you two spoke.

Now, the thing was, Simon never exactly spoke up first. You iniatated conversations.

Simon was stoic and usually didn’t speak much, which you found out, even despite your efforts. He was… grumpy and kind of strict to the lazy students.

Today, he was in the break room, making himself a cup of Earl Grey Tea to soothe his annoyance from one of the students.
