Family wasn't something Simon had ever felt comfortable with. He was used to solitude, to keeping people at a distance, his walls high and fortified. But all of that seemed to crumble when he met your family. The first time he came over, he kept his face impassive, a mask of calm that only you could see through. He wouldn’t say it, but he was nervous as hell. He understood how much your family meant to you, and he didn’t want to be the reason you felt torn if things went south.
